Elvis Presley is a fan favorite over here at ! 🎸🕺

In light of that, our Sweet Memories were determined to recreate his iconic peanut butter and banana sandwiches. 🍌🥪

It allowed us to reminisce on making sandwiches for our own families or children in years past.

There was plenty of spreading, slicing, reminiscing, and—most importantly—taste testing! 😋

Bonjour from Paris... no passport needed! 🗼💌

We're still thinking about our July adventure to the city of love. We were thrilled to welcome Girl Scout Troop 309 for a fun-filled afternoon with our residents.

Together, we created beautiful postcards from Paris, enjoyed delicious French-inspired treats, and shared plenty of smiles along the way.

While the crafts and snacks were wonderful, the true highlight was watching different generations come together to laugh and connect. 👧🏻👵🏻

Au revoir, Paris! Until our next adventure! 🔜

A very special thank you to Blue Ridge Home Health Care for joining us to make our Shark Week celebration extra special! 🌊

Last week, a few of our Sweet Memories residents hit the stores for some shopping! 🛍️

During the adventure, we found ourselves discussing how the prices of some items have changed over the years, and of course couldn’t resist trying on some fun sunglasses! 😎

Working at the Car Wash 🫧🚗

Except this time it's a wheelchair and walker wash! Our wonderful friends at EmpowerMe Wellness joined us for our annual wheelchair wash last week.
