Nothing Bundt Cakes joined us for a delicious Sample and Seminar event yesterday! Did you know that a mini bundt cake is called a bundtlette?
We learned about the origins of the company, got some decorating tips, and got to taste test four of their most popular flavors. Can you guess our favorite part? 🧁 Thanks for the delectable experience!

Residents were ‘whisked’ away to tour the kitchen during this month’s Food Committee Meeting! 🍽️
Tom, our kitchen manager, and Dani, our night cook, were able to walk residents through the space to explain what they use each part for and how the logistics of each meal work. 🧑🏽🍳
Seeing the behind the scenes of all the hard work that goes into prepping and plating each meal helped everyone appreciate our wonderful kitchen staff even more! We even got to see some desserts being prepared 🍪🍰 what a special treat!

We’ve got love on the mind this week! Residents created heart wreaths to decorate their apartment doors with love and warmth.
Our favorite part? Each wreath was so different highlighting how different we all are! Look for these special pieces around our building 🤍

I love seeing the residents engage in the activities. One of my favorite parts of working at Caretta!
It’s National Food Service Week! 👨🏼🍳🍽️
We wish we could shout ‘thank you’ from the rooftops to our amazing kitchen staff, but these goodie bags will have to be enough for now.
Thank you for working so hard to accommodate our needs and listening to our concerns. All of your hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed by our residents and families.
Comment to send a shoutout to our kitchen crew! It will make their day, we promise!

Tom & Food Staff: Thanks for implementing the suggestions residents and families have made for Memory Care side of facility. The staff are so kind to the residents. Remembering their names is so helpful to their well-being and care. The new meal ordering at the table and regular plates brought to the table really give individualized service and better presentation. 😘🌷🩷
Beautiful Ladies!

Caretta resident, Romie K, was recognized in a very special way last week!
In 1945, the Lena High School boys basketball team played their way to the state championship. Romie, pictured kneeling on the right, was a bit part in the team's success!
Fast forward to this year, and you'll find the team is back at the state championship! The biggest difference? This year's team had to play much more difficult teams to advance to this prestigious ranking. Romie was honored at the Jan. 30th game as one of the two remaining living players from the 1945 team. Way to go, Romie!

To the loyal & committed caregiving and dining staff, a job well done.
Look at those beautiful people! I'm so fortunate to be able to see them almost daily ❤️
My mom loved Fridays because of the entertainment and social time.
Staying active in the cold weather is so important for our mental and physical health. Residents have been loving our drumming classes! 🥁 Don’t let their faces fool you- we are just concentrating extra hard.

Same level of service AND choices for assisted living and memory care would be appreciated. Thanks for your efforts!
Changes that come with aging often make it harder for older adults to recognize their body temperature becoming too cold. This can lead to dangerous health concerns.
Use the information and tips below to help lower these risks during the colder months.

Our residents got 'all shook up' to celebrate Elvis Presley's 90th birthday! We made his favorite treat- peanut butter and banana sandwiches- while reminiscing on some of our favorite memories. Some of our favorite Elvis songs are Jailhouse Rock, In The Ghetto, and Burning Love.
Share your favorite Elvis song with us in the comments!

How did they do it?! 🎩✨🪄
We’re all still trying to figure out the secrets to the Mischief and Magic show that joined us for happy hour on Friday! Some of our favorite tricks include ‘sword swallowing’, balloon animals, fitting inside a balloon, and even a sword through the neck!
