We had the perfect blend of fitness and fun today in building 3. ​Our residents enjoyed a beautiful morning of outdoor exercise, followed by a cozy afternoon "campsite" experience indoors. With a crackling campfire on the TV, campfire sing a longs, and delicious s'mores, it was a day filled with smiles and sweet treats.

Dirt on our hands and joy in our hearts. We have just completed planting fresh flowers in the raised beds surrounding the pond! The view was already picturesque but has become even more vibrant.

This evening our camping theme week adventures took us to Paul Bunyan Family Campground in Spruce, Michigan—and wow, what a fantastic evening!

​We got to hang out with the lovely owners, Avery and Natalie, who filled us in on all the exciting renovations and remodeling they’re doing to the campground. It is going to look absolutely amazing once finished. Our residents shared a little bit about themselves, roasted hotdogs and smores over the fire, listened to some oldies and even danced a little.

Big thanks to Avery and Natalie for the hospitality and our DCW Amanda for coming along to help with the outing. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you definitely need to. Our residents are already talking about possibility taking another trip out there.

Today, we welcomed Lisa Mavhowski from the Alpena County George N. Fletcher Public Library as our guest speaker. ​Lisa shared all the exciting things happening at the library right now, including the upcoming Summer Reading Program our residents can participate in! She also highlighted our fantastic partnership with the library, which helps us bring a steady stream of fresh books directly into the hands of our residents who want to participate.

We kicked off our camping theme week today, and we started the adventure by crafting our very own personalized canteen water bottles! Everyone got creative decorating their gear. Then ​with our canteens ready, we took advantage of this absolutely beautiful day and headed outside for a nature walk around the pond. There’s nothing quite like fresh air, sunshine, and great company to get lift up our moods. We also checked in on our DIY Chia Pets. Safe to say, our little green creations are growing like crazy!
​Stay tuned for more camping fun as the week continues! 🪵🔥

Our residents had the best time hitting the road for our latest Travel Adventures with Kim outing, and this time, we explored the beautiful Hubbard Lake area! ​It wasn't just a scenic bus ride, it was a beautiful trip down memory lane. The adventure sparked so many wonderful stories and endless reminiscing. ​Along the way, we got to see two beautiful cottages that were owned by two of our residents. We also passed by a special church where one of our lovely ladies was baptized years ago. There is nothing quite like hearing the stories of summer fun at the lake. Upon arriving back to Alpena we saw a cruise shipped anchored out in the bay. We love seeing all the tourists enjoying our beautiful city.

​Where should Travel Adventures with Kim take us next?

As we observe Memorial Day, we take a moment to recognize the extraordinary sacrifices of the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our nation. Their unwavering courage, commitment, and generosity of spirit are the bedrock of our freedom. Today, we stand in solidarity with the families of our fallen heroes, honoring their memories and expressing our deepest gratitude. We wish everyone a safe, peaceful, and meaningful Memorial Day. May we never forget. ❤️🤍💙

We welcomed Cam Cavitt - State Representative to our community this afternoon. ​Representative Cavitt took the time to talk with our residents, share a bit about his background, explain his day-to-day work representing us at the Capitol, and dive into a variety of important topics. ​Our residents loved learning more about him, hearing his insights, and the opportunity to ask some great questions. It’s not every day you get to chat one on one with your state representative, and we are so grateful for his time, his connection, and his dedication to our community.

​Thank you, Representative Cavitt, for such an engaging and memorable visit!
