What a great 2nd Presentation on “Haeger Pottery- The History & Legacy”. Special thanks to Philip Aleo, Chicago author who presented along with Joe Cordero, owner of J & S River Antique in Algonquin, for his beautiful array of Haeger pieces, and Alexandra Haeger-Estes, great granddaughter of the founder. So much history detailed in the presentation. Last but not least the wonderful desserts that were prepared by our Chef Carlos and his team. They were phenomenal!

It usually does not start with one big moment. It starts with the little things that are easy to explain away: a missed step, a forgotten medication or a room that feels harder to move through safely. A few changes in routine may not seem urgent on their own, but they can become more serious over time.

Paying attention early can make a meaningful difference. The sooner families notice patterns and start asking questions, the sooner they can explore support that helps protect comfort, confidence and quality of life.
