Did you know that axolotls can naturally glow in the dark and can also regenerate like starfish? 💡 ⭐️

Toadally Awesome Pets came to Highland Ridge today and taught us so many hoppin facts about toads, frogs, and amphibians in general!

We were thrilled to meet Curt the Colorado River Frog that people used to find in the river and LICK 👅, disclaimer: no licking was done today 😆

Sometimes it’s fun to leap out of your comfort zone and pet a new friend! We are so thankful we had that opportunity to do that today 🐸

🏀✨ March Madness… but make it SWEET! ✨🏀

At Highland Ridge, we put our own delicious twist on the tournament this year with an Oreo March Madness Bracket 🍪🔥

From classic favorites to bold flavors, our residents tasted, voted, and battled it out round by round to crown the ultimate Oreo champion. There were some very strong opinions, a few upsets, and lots of laughs along the way!

And the winner is… 🥁🥁🥁
🌿 MINT OREO 🌿

Cool, creamy, and refreshing—Mint stole the show and claimed the title of Superior Oreo! 👑🍪

Who knew March Madness could be this tasty?

“Grandma’s apron is the symbol of real hard work.” 👵🍞

Today, Doris Montag helped us remember the tools and traditions that filled kitchens long ago.

In Grandma’s day, meals didn’t come from a microwave or a quick trip to the store. Cooking meant rolling dough by hand, grinding coffee beans, beating eggs with a hand-crank mixer, and baking on a cast iron stove. Every tool—from flour sifters to wooden spoons—played a part in feeding the family.

That apron Grandma wore wasn’t just for keeping flour off her clothes. It wiped little faces, carried fresh eggs, held recipe cards, and sometimes even dried a few tears. It truly was a symbol of the hard work, love, and care that went into every meal.

Times have changed, but the memories of Grandma’s kitchen remind us how much heart went into the simple act of cooking.

Help us keep the conversation going; what tools do you remember seeing in your grandma’s kitchen? 💛

One day, she remembered every birthday, every recipe, every story.
Then one day… she didn’t remember her daughter’s name.

Alzheimer’s and dementia don’t just steal memory —
they steal moments, conversations, connections, and futures.
They take away the simple things we all take for granted:
a smile of recognition, a shared laugh, a familiar face.

But here’s the truth:
While we can’t erase this disease yet, we CAN fight back with awareness and community here at Highland Ridge where sense of community is strong

That’s why we’re hosting Memories Matter Trivia Night next week.
A night of fun, laughter, and friendly competition — all for a cause that touches far too many families.

🎗 Every participant is helping support our very own, Willowcreek
🧠 Every question sparks conversation
❤️ Every seat filled honors someone’s story

Come for the trivia.
Stay for the impact.
Play for the ones who can’t remember… but deserve to never be forgotten.

🎟️ Enter online today with this link:

Come join us for our Trivia Night!

We cannot wait to see you there!
Because memories matter — and so does your support.
