Yesterday, Altercare Navarre celebrated National First Responders Day by showing appreciation for our local heroes! Some of our team members visited the Massillon Police Department, Navarre Police Department, and Erie Valley Fire & Rescue to deliver coffee and donuts as a small thank-you for all they do to keep our community safe. We couldn’t leave out one of our favorite four-legged first responders, Ember! She’s always welcome at Altercare Navarre and never misses a chance to stop by for some love and pup-peronni.

Thank you to all our local first responders for your dedication and service to our community. We appreciate you! 💙

Last week, we welcomed the cooler temperatures with a chili cook-off! Our staff brought their best chili recipes to the table, and everyone had the chance to customize their bowl with a variety of toppings. With so many delicious options, choosing a favorite was no easy task!

After tasting the entries, our staff cast their votes for their favorite chili. Congratulations to our winners! 🏆

1st Place – Tom, Environmental Services Coordinator
2nd Place – Kennedy, Staff Coordinator
3rd Place – Julie, Cook

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make our chili cook-off such a fun and delicious way to welcome the fall season!

Last week, the Massillon Senior Center Activity Club, healthcare providers, and Jack Moore of the Eagles hosted a tailgate party for our local seniors at the Massillon Eagles. Everyone came ready to show their Massillon pride in honor of the big Massillon vs. McKinley game. Altercare Navarre, Altercare Country Lawn, and Altercare Nobles Pond were proud to join in on the fun!

Admissions Coordinators, Jessica, Joan and Samantha, rolled up their sleeves and helped serve up a delicious spread of chili, hot dogs and baked mac and cheese. And, of course, we can’t forget the amazing apple dumplings for dessert.

The afternoon was filled with football trivia, Bingo, gift baskets from the generous sponsors and plenty of prizes. It was a wonderful day filled with good food, laughter, and memories we’ll cherish for years to come. We’re so glad we could share this special tailgate with our community! 🏈

Making Memories Through Music 🎵

During a recent music therapy visit from Absolute Home Health & Hospice, Brenda, Music Therapist, was asked by one of our residents, Steve, if she had a bass guitar. Steve spent decades playing in a band, and those memories remain a meaningful part of his life. He even keeps a poster from his days in the band hanging on his door.

Brenda knew she had to find a way to make it happen, so she reached out to Lindsey, a team member who collects musical instruments, to see if she had a bass guitar. Lindsey generously offered to bring hers to the facility so Steve could have the opportunity to play again. He played, reminisced, listened, and enjoyed reconnecting with a special part of his past.

We’re grateful to Brenda and Lindsey for helping make this meaningful moment possible for Steve. There’s something special about how music can bring us back to the people, places, and memories that matter most. 💙
