So far, 2025 has been filled with joyful celebrations and meaningful moments.
We kicked off January by welcoming the new year with our residents and staff in the activity room. We enjoyed delicious snacks and cherished each other's company.
We had the joy of organizing a baby shower for one of our outstanding CNAs, who is eagerly looking forward to the birth of her first child in a few weeks. It was a touching event, filled with enthusiasm and good wishes.
At the end of the month, we dedicated time to honor our committed activity professionals during Activity Professionals Week. Their dedication and efforts to enhance the lives of our residents are truly praiseworthy, and we appreciate their contributions.

We brought in the New Year with a pleasant gathering, enjoying coffee and engaging conversations. January was relatively calm following the bustling holiday season.
We took the opportunity to celebrate two special birthdays:
Evelyn K. - January 13th

On January 30th, we had the honor of hosting Kaitlin from the Nature Center, who delivered an enlightening Turtle Talk presentation. Her insights not only captivated us but also deepened our appreciation for wildlife and conservation efforts.
