Due to tonight's weather forecast (rain and scattered storms - yuck!) , we have decided to reschedule our Autumn Sounds Series event with The Silvertones for Thursday, October 8th at 6PM. We hope you are still able to attend our event next week (if you are unable, please let us know).
We are so bummed (and we're sure you are too), and we thank you for understanding. Please call (616) 530-2511 with any questions or concerns!

Today’s #outsideofthebox activity was “Bow Season: Wildlife Hunting”! Residents had the chance to shoot a raccoon, a duck, a deer and a bear (staff members) with a (toy) crossbow.
In addition to being photographed with the game they “shot”, our hunters also received a camouflage hat to use at our next hunting event for “gun season”- stay tuned!

Check out the photos from our "Beat the Winter Blues" Party today! We kicked it off with live entertainment (Stuart Seleski - Blues Music), then Kelsey and Kristin told some cheesy winter jokes, and then we finished with three games (Word Unscramble, the Apron Game, and The Price is Right). The two residents with the highest total points from the games became our Ice King and Ice Queen- Steve and Claudia!
We tried something new today... Nerf Dart Poker! The 5 cards your darts stuck to became your poker hand, and the best hand won! ♥️♠️♦️♣️
