One of the special moments from our 1920s day makeover was setting aside a beautiful Maang Tikka from Blue Ridge Care, kept aside especially for one of our residents who was born in India. Seeing her face light up when she received it was such a beautiful reminder of how meaningful the little details can be. ❤️

We stepped back into the roaring ’20s for a little glamor, pampering, and fun! Our 1920s day makeover gave our residents the chance to get glammed up, try on new looks, and enjoy a little old-fashioned beauty and self-care. A special thank you to Blue Ridge Care for donating the beautiful clothing and jewelry that helped make the day extra special! Blue Ridge Care_Care] Blue Ridge Care Thrift Shops

We continued our journey through the decades by transforming our living room into a 1950s-style diner! With delicious milkshakes, classic music, and plenty of smiles, our '40s and '50s Day was a sweet trip down memory lane. 💕✨

Continue traveling back in time with us! For our '60s and '70s Day, we took a walk down memory lane! We made scrapbook pages featuring memories from our own social media posts, reminiscing about our younger years, and sharing stories from days gone by. 💜📖

We wanted to share some more of our Assisted Living Week memories! Tuesday was '80s Day, and our main event was a wonderful talent show featuring so many of the incredible people within our community. Such fun with all our wonderful pianists, singers, comedians, and more! 👏💜

We wanted to share some of our Assisted Living Week photos, starting with our ribbon cutting ceremony! We kicked off the week with a '90s day complete with delicious sushi, great memories, and plenty of fun! 🎀✨
