Veteran’s Day
“We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remembered the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” – Ronald Reagan
This past Sunday, our team in Independent Living hosted a beautiful Veterans Day event to honor all of our incredible Veterans that call Summit Hills home. As we gathered to remember, to honor those who are with us, those who no longer are and those who currently serve we prayed for the Veterans. What an honor it was for us to salute these men! 🇺🇸It means the world to our team to be able to work with these incredible men and women every day.
In Care Services, we honored our Members who served in our Armed Forces for Veterans Day. Retired Chaplain and Colonel Roy Mathis led us in prayer and shared a beautiful reflection called “I am a soldier”. Each of our Members received a pin, a certificate from the local Veterans’ association and an American flag made from our other Members in Assisted Living and Reflections. We also presented them with a plaque that will be hung up in their honor for years to come. We are grateful for all those who have served and serve our great nation! 🇺🇸
Bridal Photoshoot
Our team is SO incredible! One of our CNAs in our Memory Care neighborhood, Sam assisted one of our Members in re-creating a beautiful moment in her life, her wedding day. They did a photoshoot and the pictures were so beautiful that we wanted to share! 👰🏼💍
C.L.I.M.B.
This Wednesday our Members enjoyed an outdoor session of our C.L.I.M.B. class! It is a nationally-awarded ‘Best of the Best’ class and it’s one of our favorites to teach! Did you know that our Social Director, Libby used to be our Wellness Director? We love that she still enjoys teaching wellness and was the instructor for this session, switching it up a little bit for our Members! 💪🏼 It was the perfect crisp Fall day to enjoy a workout outdoors! 🍁
November Food Drive
We are SO excited and proud of our team for going above and beyond to gather canned/dry goods for those in need as we move into the holiday season! This is one of our favorite events of the year because we all come together for this worthy cause! Last year, we collected 1,580 canned goods. This year we truly came together and blew last year out of the water 💥 with 4,424 items collected!! WOW!! We are so proud of our team and know that these items will truly make this time of year special for those in need! 💓 Give our team a round of applause! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
