Our residents had a blooming good time at our Paint & Plant activity! 🌸🎨

Everyone got their own small terracotta pot to decorate using colorful acrylic markers, creating unique designs full of personality and creativity. Once the pots were complete, residents planted beautiful begonias to brighten up their homes!

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with creativity, laughter and a little gardening fun! 🌿💐

What an amazing day for a bison adventure! 🦬🌾

We took a bus trip out to Minneopa State Park to visit the bison range. At first, we were worried we might not spot any, but as we turned the corner, we were greeted by a large herd waiting out in the prairie!

We parked along the roadside and enjoyed a relaxing lunch right on the bus while watching the bison roam and graze nearby. It was such a peaceful and exciting experience getting to see these incredible animals up close in their natural habitat. A day full of beautiful views, good company and unforgettable memories! 🚌☀️

Our blog shares their family's journey to finding memory care at Autumn Glen Senior Living, a community managed by The Goodman Group. Through their daughter Tammy's perspective, we see how choosing the right community allowed Connie to be Ron's wife again rather than his sole caregiver, and how Ron found a place that truly feels like home.

Ron and Connie had been married 58 years when memory loss changed everything. Their family's decision to choose memory care helped everyone find home.
