We love playing the always-popular chair volleyball with multiple balloons. Thanks to Get Healthy, Live Well’s Phyllis Head, and a UWG nursing student volunteer. There’s even a cheering section, complete with pom-poms!

We were blessed when four student-athletes and the assistant coach from the UWG men’s basketball team joined us for a fun day of games. We started outside, axe-throwing on our patio, enjoying the sunshine. When the heat became a bit much, we moved indoors to play co****le, where the friendly competition was lively and exciting. And guess what? The winning team was none other than the wonderful partnership between The Birches on Maple and the University of West Georgia!

We had a great time attending the Nourish & Flourish: Cooking With Gail activity in our Clubhouse. Gail demonstrated how to make salmon patties, tuna salad with extra vegetables, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt mayo, uses for hummus (we tasted two types), and protein-packed snacks. We helped peel, chop, stir, add ingredients, form patties, and more.

We had a wonderful time recently attending a performance by the Georgia State Defense Force Band at the City of Carrollton’s Center for the Arts. The concert, filled with lively marches and patriotic melodies, was hosted by the Abraham Baldwin local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was a free event open to everyone, directed by Terry Lowry. The program also included the presentation of the flag, the pledge of allegiance, and the national anthem.

We gathered in our Clubhouse for community African drumming! Tony Hall, a therapist at Willowbrooke at Tanner - Villa Rica, facilitated the activity. He is also a musician who has used East African drums in music therapy and mindfulness exercises. We followed Tony’s lead, beating out different rhythms on the drums. Tony also played his guitar and guided us through an impromptu jam session with drums, rain sticks, chimes, maracas, xylophones, and other small, handheld percussion instruments.

Tony specializes in community music events and has been a professional musician since age 17.

We enjoyed making music together and can’t wait for Tony to return.

On Wednesday, August 19th, our community came together for a truly distinguished and memorable occasion: the formal installation and raising of our new American flag.

Surrounded by residents, families, and honored guests, we witnessed the flag rise proudly above our community in a moment filled with dignity, patriotism, and profound pride. As the flag ascended, the faces of our residents and their families reflected the significance of the moment, a shared appreciation for what our flag represents and for the freedoms it symbolizes.

The ceremony was conducted with exceptional grace and reverence, enhanced by the presence of the American Legion Post 338, which graciously facilitated the installation of our American flag. Their participation brought a solemn and distinguished presence to the occasion and served as a beautiful reminder of the traditions and values our flag represents.

The ceremony opened with a certificate presentation honoring the resident whose efforts made this meaningful occasion possible. The ceremony also included a moving presentation explaining the significance of the 13 folds of the American flag, the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, the American Creed, and a Chaplain’s prayer over our flag.

As part of this memorable occasion, we were especially honored to recognize and express our gratitude to our 30 resident veterans. Their presence gave the ceremony an even deeper meaning. These men and women have each contributed to the story of our nation through their service, sacrifice, and commitment, and it was a privilege to honor them on this important day.

The installation of our American flag was more than a ceremony. It was a moment that brought our community together under one flag and reminded us of the enduring ideals of freedom, unity, courage, service, and patriotism.

As our flag now proudly flies over our community, may it stand as a lasting symbol of the values we hold dear and as a daily tribute to all who have served our great nation.

Our Sweet Summer Sendoff for residents, families, and friends was a fantastic carnival-themed event! Despite the heat, we welcomed over 200 attendees.

We featured a food truck, a dunk tank, a DJ, a pie-in-the-face booth, along with a decorated vehicle from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office and a fire truck from the Carroll County Fire Department. Tickled Pink Petting Zoo from Graham, Alabama, also joined us.

Our partners helped by hosting booths with activities or games, and of course, prizes! Thanks to Heaven Sent Helpers, Willowbrooke Psychiatric Center - Carrollton, Tanner Home Health and Hospice, Tanner Rehabilitation Services, and the University of West Georgia.

A special shout-out to our staff members who volunteered for the dunk tank: Jonathan, Collin, and Christian. We also thank our residents who participated as Dusty the Clown. Thanks to all our staff members who managed games and activities and helped with setup and cleanup.
