After learning about the different kinds of tortoises in our Animal of the Day chats, Lone Mountain residents finally got to meet them in person. Their favorite part was feeding them carrots and petting them. Who knew tortoises loved affection 🐢❤️?
Two weeks ago, you saw our residents begin this multi-week program where they created their stencils and used liquid leading to outline their pieces. Here you see the beginning of step two, the flooding of an outlined side with vibrant colors! Stay tuned for more updates as this group works to ...create its unique pieces! #BeYou #BeCreative
Residents at Las Palomas took over Osaka Steakhouse in Mesa. Oh, what a show they put on for them! They laughed so hard at everyone attempting to catch flying food and sake in their mouths.Some of them are trained seals 🤣 "Cheers!" Or, should we say, Kanpai 🍶.
Our multi-month-long project has begun! This past week, Mickey and Louise worked together to get our old ice cream chairs to their natural state! The Burr Ridge Restorations Volunteer Group will work to repurpose and redesign these chairs. The plan is to have these chairs be available for a ...suggested donation at one of our Alzheimer's Awareness Fundraisers this year! A little bit of Citristrip, elbow grease, and patience go a long way! Stay tuned for updates! #BeYour #BeCreative

The first-ever #CookieClash between The Oaks at Algonquin and Silver Glen was a success! Silver Glen’s team, “The Sons of Batches,” SOBs, battled out for a chance to get their chocolate chip cookie recipe featured at @uprisingbakeryandcafelith ! The two categories judged in this cookie clash ...were 1. #BestChocolateChip, and 2. #BestDecoratedSugarCookie. Our cookie, “Chip Off the Old Block,” a potato chip-based chocolate chip cookie, was a salty showstopper. We choose geodes-inspired cookies with edible rock candy and glitter for our sugar-decorated cookies. The battle was a tight race, and both teams came out on top due to a split decision. Come purchase The Oaks’ “The Chocolate Cherry Chew” at UpRising in February and our “Chip Off the Old Block” in March!

By resident request, throughout January, residents have been immersing themselves into the Icelandic culture by watching a five-part documentary reviewing marine and land mammals, culinary traditions, national parks, and reserves, to breathtaking sights! While not specific to Iceland, also popular ...in Belgium and Scandinavia, our residents loved our Iceland-inspired Bakeology program. They made 'Piparkokur' or Icelandic Pepper Cookies. Most similar to Ginger Snaps, would you consider trying one?
Did you know Tai Chi can improve balance and stability, maintain core strength, and improve cognitive functions and memory? We are happy to offer Tai Chi with Zuzana twice a month, and our residents are raving about it!

The #SouthviewCrafters got a visit from a special friend last week ❤️ Anita, Doris, Laura, Jerry, Cuca, and Linda greeted little Millie with the refurbished pony they crafted for her.
Thank you to our Regional Director of Operations, Dan, and Lauren for bringing Millie! The ladies had ...a blast spending time with Millie!
Millie may not know yet, but her family has a lot of history with #Southview. Her dad, Dan, was raised in #Affton and helped open Southview 10 years ago! She also has a great-great-great aunt that has made #Southview her home for almost a year now!
