Arbor Springs is a community devoted entirely to the care of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. We are different – we provide a holistic program in a uniquely designed home-like setting. We offer care for early to end stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias all under one roof. Our philosophy and model of care is different from mainstream programs. Arbor Springs believes the PERSON precedes the dementia..

Photos below 👇 are from activities on Tuesday, 8/25/26…we want to thank Ryan from St Croix Hospice for providing the donuts 🍩 and conversation at the Men’s Club in Maple today.

We also want to thank 🙏Deb from Compassus Hospice for leading our Bible Study 📖 & Hymn Sing 🎶 this afternoon.

In between those times, we held Book Club, Communion visits, and the Courtyard Chats in Aspen/Birch.

It was a Monday filled with morning BINGO games, popcorn 🍿, and then afternoon Courtyard Chats (once the rain stopped)!

Happy State Fair Day #10 from everyone at Arbor Springs! This morning Michelle made snow cones 🍧 for interested staff and residents and we then combined the yummy social with Arbor Cinema. Thank you 🙏 to Barb P’s Family for letting us borrow and view the “State Fair” movie.

We held our Courtyard Chats in Aspen/Birch after lunch and then gathered again in The Cafe to share State Fair Stories (and eat 😋 something)!

A few resident one to one visits done by our Life Enrichment Assistants Natalie & Lindsey got sprinkled in during the day, along with sharing some smiles 😃 & holding some hands 🤗!

😍Happy Friday & Happy State Fair Day #9!

We want to give BIG thanks to Mini Dreams Ranch for bringing Alfred the miniature donkey 🫏 and Aphrodite the miniature horse 🐴 to visit with residents, family members, staff and all our friends this morning in our Cottonwood Courtyard!

Owner Lacey and her “crew” had some lively conversations and saw lots of smiles 😃! Bella (the youngest representative of Mini Dreams Ranch) was also greeted very warmly by many of our residents 🥰!

This afternoon, we held our Book Club and read the “I is for Iowa” book 📖 together before getting the residents’ responses to why they love ❤️ the Iowa State Fair!
