We recognized and saluted our wonderful veterans this month. Listening to stories they shared was not only fascinating, but also a special privilege. We'd like to thank all the volunteers involved in making our tribute a success. Crossroads Hospice as usual was an amazing help, and provided music for us. Even Channel 9 News came to cover a portion of our event. Thank you for your service veterans!

Our Halloween Affair on Oct. 31st got even better when we received a cheerful visit from the little ones at Under the Blue Sea Child Care. All decked out in their costumes, our pint-sized guests sang for us and paraded through the facility while residents enjoyed passing out candy. Everyone enjoyed the music, cupcakes and ice cream.

On Oct. 31st our facility got into full swing for Halloween. Even the therapy department got creative for the day and got everyone in good spirits.

We started off our Halloween activities this year with an enjoyable visit from Crossroads Hospice. They shared the art of pumpkin painting with us. It was a great opportunity for everyone to show their creativity. Some pumpkin art was spooky and some were all smiles, but nevertheless, it was a great reason to have some fun and get a little messy.

It's hard to believe that it's almost Halloween all ready, so the little ones at Waverly Day Care decided to stop by. They're so excited to come dressed in their costumes and our residents truly get a kick out of visiting with them. It doesn't get much cuter than this!

Each time Lucy comes for a pet therapy visit she's a hit with our residents and the benefits are two-sided. Residents enjoy the unconditional love and comfort she brings and Lucy thrives on all the attention and petting she receives. Her tail-wagging visits create lots of happiness and broad smiles. Thank you so much Lucy and Maria!

Now that the leaves are starting to slightly turn and the weather is getting a bit crisper, we're ready to usher in Fall. There's no better way to celebrate than with our most loved entertainer, Rich Monroe. Residents and guests enjoyed seasonal treats and some of their favorite tunes for our 2017 Fall Bash.

Leaves are turning and we're starting to get some crisp weather so everyone is excited to usher in our Fall activities. Rich Monroe, our loved entertainer, started the season off for us with a bang. We enjoyed seasonal treats and favorite tunes.

The first Friday in October every year is World Smile Day and Liberty Colerain happily joined the celebration. Apparently, the creator of the famous smiley face was worried about the symbol being over commercialized and out of that concern came the idea for World Smile Day. We love that the icon knows no politics, geography or religion and try to devote everyday to smiles and kind acts, but we're especially pleased to put our joy in overdrive on this special day. Delicious cheeseburgers followed by smiley faced cookies brought out everyone's smile of course.

We hated to see summer go by so quickly, but ended it on a high note with a colorful, festive Luau Party in late August. Our favorite entertainer, Rich Monroe, was on hand to set the mood with music from the islands. Residents enjoyed a dance contest and sipped refreshing pineapple drinks and tropical smoothies. Although we hate to lose summer, we're getting ready to fully embrace autumn with a fall party celebration in mid September. Rich Monroe will be providing 50's – 60's musical entertainment for this event as well, so watch our activities calendar for more details and our blog for highlights.
