πŸ·πŸŒ½πŸŽ‰ Anniversary Month Fun Continues at FVB! πŸŽ‰πŸŒ½πŸ·

On June 10, our residents gathered for one of Friendship Village's favorite traditionsβ€”our Anniversary Hog Roast! πŸ₯³

The day was filled with delicious food, great conversation, and plenty of laughter as neighbors came together to celebrate 47 amazing years of community. From the mouthwatering hog roast to the sweet summer corn, it was a meal to remember! 🍽️✨

But the fun actually started the day before! 🌽πŸ’ͺ Residents rolled up their sleeves and helped shuck corn, turning meal prep into a social event of its own. There was plenty of teamwork, storytelling, and smiles as everyone pitched in to help make the celebration a success.

Events like these are a wonderful reminder that Friendship Village is more than just a place to liveβ€”it's a community where neighbors become friends and every celebration is made even better when shared together. ❀️

Thank you to everyone who helped prepare, participate, and make this year's Hog Roast such a memorable part of our Anniversary Month festivities!

🎈 Here's to great food, great friends, and 47 years of making memories together!

πŸ¦†πŸ’› Duck Rescue at FVB! πŸ’›πŸ¦†

On June 17, our very own Jenny Barlow became an unexpected local hero when she spotted a family of ducks in distress here at FVB. Several ducklings had fallen through the sewer grates and were unable to get back to their worried mother.

As fate would have it, Jenny was wearing a perfectly timed shirt that read, "Distracted by Ducks"β€”and she certainly lived up to it! Without hesitation, Jenny climbed down into the sewer to rescue the stranded ducklings. One by one, she carefully caught each little adventurer and brought them safely back to the surface, where they were reunited with their grateful mom.

Thanks to Jenny's quick thinking, compassion, and willingness to get a little dirty, this feathered family was safely back together again. We're proud to have such caring team members at FVB!

Please join us in giving Jenny a round of applause for her quack-tastic rescue mission! πŸ‘πŸ¦†β€οΈ

🌟 Team Member of the Month – May 2026 🌟

Congratulations to Summer Poague, our May Team Member of the Month!

Summer’s positive attitude, strong work ethic, and dedication to resident satisfaction make her an invaluable part of our team. From stepping up to run the cafΓ© to bringing new ideas and exceptional service to the dining experience, she consistently goes above and beyond.

Outside of work, Summer is a talented artist, avid hiker, home cook, and proud cat mom to Piper. What motivates her most, however, is the residents she serves each day. Their stories, conversations, and connections make even the busiest days rewarding.

Summer’s kindness, creativity, flexibility, and willingness to help others truly embody the spirit of Friendship Village. We are grateful for all she does and proud to recognize her hard work and commitment.

Please join us in congratulating Summer on this well-deserved honor! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰

What an amazing Wellness Week we had at Friendship Village of Bloomington!

We concluded our week-long focus on health and wellness on May 1 with "Nourishing the Body: A Healthy Snack." Residents enjoyed an informative and engaging presentation from Betsy Nelson, local cookbook author of Tasting Minnesota. Betsy shared valuable insights on the importance of proper nutrition as we age and how healthy food choices can support overall well-being.

As part of the presentation, residents were treated to a delicious healthy snack sample inspired by one of her recipes, giving everyone a chance to taste firsthand how nutritious food can also be flavorful and enjoyable.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Betsy Nelson, our staff, volunteers, presenters, and all the residents who participated throughout the week. From equine therapy and brain health education to mindfulness, aromatherapy, and nutrition, Wellness Week provided countless opportunities to learn, grow, and invest in our health and well-being.

Here's to continuing our journey toward healthy aging and lifelong wellness!

Our Wellness Week at Friendship Village of Bloomington continued on April 30 with a relaxing and educational Aromatherapy Class.

Residents enjoyed learning about the benefits of essential oils and how they can be incorporated into everyday self-care routines. During the class, participants had the opportunity to create their own custom blends while discovering different ways to use essential oils for relaxation, comfort, and personal wellness.

The class was a wonderful opportunity to explore the senses, learn new skills, and find simple ways to add a little extra pampering and self-care into daily life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this fragrant and fun wellness experience!

Wellness Week at Friendship Village of Bloomington continued on April 29 with a peaceful and reflective labyrinth experience.

Residents had the opportunity to walk a miniature labyrinth, an activity designed to help quiet the mind, encourage mindfulness, and focus on following a simple path. The experience provided a calming moment to slow down, reflect, and be present.

For residents who preferred not to walk the labyrinth, handheld finger labyrinths were available, allowing everyone to participate and enjoy the benefits of this meditative practice in a way that was comfortable for them.

It was a wonderful opportunity to explore another aspect of wellness and discover simple ways to reduce stress and promote inner calm.
