The team at AlmaVia of San Rafael pulled out all the stops for this year's Block Party! The theme? Carnival! 🎪🤡🌭🍬

The setup was loaded with all the typical carnival goodies and festivities. There was cotton candy, funnel cakes, corn dogs, snow cones, your typical carnival games, a balloon artist, and so much more! The community was buzzing, and quite a few visitors came by to tour the building.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's Block Party one for the books!

Bridgehaven memory care neighborhood residents were excited to get the new birdfeeder set up for their feathered friends. It's now filled to the brim, and the birds are loving it! 🐦🪶🐦

☀️🌳 Another gorgeous day in Marin County! Residents laced up their walking shoes and headed to a local park to soak it all in. With blue skies, fresh air, and stunning scenery, it was the perfect day for a stroll! 🌿

Nature walks are so beneficial for older adults. Gentle movement supports physical health, while being surrounded by natural beauty calms the mind and boosts mood. There's nothing like breathing in fresh air and chatting with friends along the way—it's exercise that doesn't feel like exercise.

💃✨ Before dinner, Bridgehaven memory care neighborhood residents got moving with a spontaneous dance party moment! All it takes is one person to get the music going, and resident Diana had everyone feeling the groove—as she usually does.🕺

Dancing is such a wonderful activity for older adults. It gets the heart pumping, improves balance and coordination, and releases all those feel-good endorphins. It was a great way to work up the appetite. Shoutout to Diana for always getting the party started!
