When you think of virtual reality, you likely imagine someone playing video games. But did you know that VR has health and wellness benefits too?

Our ladies love using our over ripe bananas to make banana bread, just like they use to in their own kitchens. This week we even grated fresh cinnamon. #Sunshine4Seniors #WasteNotWantNot #TasteTouchSmell #HandEyeCoordination

We still have some time before the really cold weather sinks in, and with our Easy-Move Program, moving is hassle-free!

Our Eversound system is a unique feature offered in our community. This wireless headphone system increases resident engagement by filtering out background noise and allowing the residents to focus. We enjoy using them for music programs, short stories, bible study and much much more! #Eversound
If you or someone you know has fallen, you understand how scary this can be, and we believe the best way to combat fear is through knowledge. This is why we have put together a guide on what to do if you or your loved one falls, and how to get them back on their feet in the post below. Check it out here:

In addition to our scheduled activities, our program keeps the residents busy with sorting, folding and many other purposeful activities. We are always on the lookout to provide opportunities of spontaneous engagement! #montessori #sunshine4seniors

Are your Christmas decorations still up? Or did you take them down right after the holidays? Some say that taking them down before January 1st is bad luck! What do you think?
