January 2026 Newsletter

Last month was a truly joyful time here at Lakeside. Our residents and staff alike cherished the festive spirit during our Christmas celebration! We enjoyed a wonderful gathering filled with delicious treats, including Christmas cookies, popcorn, a meat and cheese tray, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a variety of sparkling juices. The celebration was made even more special with visits from Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who, who brought smiles and holiday cheer to all.

As the year ended, we at Lakeside felt immense gratitude for our incredible team. We also celebrated the arrival of the New year with a lively Party, filled with delightful goodies and the warm company of friends and family.

As we step into 2026 our commitment remains steadfast: to continue providing the highest quality care for our residents, to embrace opportunities for learning and growth, and to make each day meaningful. We are excited for the wonderful things that lie ahead and are grateful for your trust in us to care for your loved ones.

Thank you for partnering with us. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

We also want to extend a warm invitation to our community members interested in volunteering - your support makes a meaningful difference! Please reach out to Katie Jenkins, our Activities Director @ 712-852-4060.
