Joyful Moments: Tree of Dreams birthday and raising awareness to carnival fun

The Waterford on Highland Colony went all out to make resident Hazel’s Tree of Dreams come true with a Vegas-style birthday bonanza! Complete with a card table and slot machine, the team organized a lively celebration featuring food, drinks and a cake to honor her 97th birthday.

The event was filled with laughter, excitement, and a touch of glamour, as residents and team members joined in the fun, embracing the Vegas theme. The team did an outstanding job bringing Vegas to Hazel and celebrating her birthday in style. It was a day filled with joy and unforgettable moments, making Hazel’s special day even more memorable. Happy birthday, Hazel!

Wear Blue Day

The Waterford at Mansfield hosted a “Wear Blue Day” rally to raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month, featuring special guest speaker Miss Ohio 2024 and appearances by county officials. The event saw a great turnout from residents and team members, who wore blue and learned more about the cause. Great job to the Mansfield team for raising awareness!

The rally created a meaningful space for education, reflection and unity, highlighting the importance of community involvement in protecting children and supporting families. Residents and guests were inspired by the powerful messages shared and left the event feeling more connected to the mission. It was a day that not only raised awareness but also strengthened the spirit of advocacy within the community.

Carnival joy

A group of residents from The Addison of Oakleaf enjoyed a fun-filled day at their local county fair complete with everything from carnival games to funnel cake. Residents and team members had a wonderful time winning prizes, sharing smiles, visiting farm animals and making new friends. It was a joyful day full of connection, fun and community spirit. What a great bonding event!

The fair provided the perfect backdrop for residents to relax, reminisce and enjoy the simple pleasures of a sunny day out. From the cheerful sounds of the midway to the delicious fair treats, every moment added to the excitement. Events like this not only bring joy but also strengthen the sense of community and friendship among everyone involved.
