a sneak peek at our social life!
Our residents had a front-row seat to all the Halloween fun as trick-or-treaters made their way to Caretta! 🧙♀️🕷️ We loved seeing kids of all ages dressed up, handing out candy, and getting to visit with everyone who stopped by. Having our staff bring their families made it even more special. Thank you to everyone who came through our doors and spent a little of Halloween with us! 🎃
Wishing everyone a very safe and happy Halloween from all of us here at Caretta! Go get that candy! 👻🍬🍭🍫

Our Halloween happy hour came with a little extra spooky flair! 🎶🍻 We enjoyed treats that many of us helped put together over some good music. What a relaxing afternoon together. We skipped the costumes but still found plenty of ways to get into the Halloween spirit! 🎃👻

The candy bags have been packed by the residents with care in hopes that trick or treaters soon would be there. 🍭🍫
Wait.. that’s the wrong holiday! 😉
But in all seriousness, we’re excited to welcome trick-or-treaters to our lobby from 3:30-5:00 for some Halloween fun! We have LOTS of candy and goodies! 🎃Hope to see you there!

Margaritas was the pick for this month’s Lunch with the Ladies! 🌮 Our ladies enjoyed getting out for a meal together and spending some time away from home.
We even made sure to give two of our October birthday girls a little extra attention. They loved being celebrated, and it made our lunch outing even more special! ❤️

We’re wrapping up Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a little more pink! 💗
Our pink collages brought together four shades, each representing an inspirational word to remind us of the strength, hope, bravery, and courage found in the fight against cancer. Every collage turned out a little different, just like every person’s cancer journey. No two stories are the same, but each deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. 💕

You can’t go wrong with a delicious apple this time of year! 🍎
Our crew recently got to make their own caramel apples with all kinds of toppings, including chocolate chips, sprinkles, pretzels, cookie pieces, and Heath bits. Everyone had their own combination, making for a fun little fall treat. We think our residents are pretty great, and this group is definitely the sweetest! ❤️

Eyes on the prize.. or, in this case, the balloon! 🎈
Balloon volleyball gives our residents a chance to work on upper-body strength, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time without it feeling like exercise. 💪🏼 Since everyone can play from a seated position, it’s an easy way to get residents moving while meeting them where they are!

Another happy hour, another excuse to hit the dance floor! 💃🏼🎶
Whether we’re tapping our toes from our seats, or up on the dance floor, our residents know how to have a good time! There’s just something about good friends and good music that make for a good time! 🤍

Movement looks different for everyone, and that’s exactly why we love our monthly Empowered by Movement classes guided by Lisa! 🤍
With rhythm guiding us, everyone had the chance to move in their own way. As the saying goes, “Every move matters!” These classes remind us that movement isn’t about doing everything the same way. It’s about finding ways to move, create, and thrive, no matter your ability!

It was time to put our taste buds to the test with a spooky potion taste test! 🧙♀️🎃 We sampled mystery drinks and tried to figure out “witch” two ingredients were hiding in each potion.
It sounded easy enough, but those mystery flavors were trickier to figure out than they seemed! We sipped and sniffed our way to correctly guessing 3/5 potions. 👻✨
Witches Whisper came out on top as the favorite! Looks like we found a brew worth keeping! 🧪🔮

A little trick-or-treat fun with our game of Punch a Prize! 👻🎃 Some spots held treats, while others had tricks, so it was fun seeing what everyone ended up with.
No matter what was behind the punch, we all enjoyed a little Halloween fun (and some yummy candy, too)! 🍬

We opened our doors to the community for an educational seminar with the knowledgable Sheri Fairman, a nationally recognized dementia care educator and advocate. 🧠
This session focused on communicating with those living with dementia- even when words are lacking. It provided ways to make conversations a little easier and more meaningful. ❤️
Couldn't make it this time? Join us in November as Sheri returns to cover another important dementia-related topic. We hope to see you there! 📅

The fall leaves certainly showed off for our scenic drive around town! 🍁🍂
As a few of our residents put it, how lucky are we to live in a world where we get to see such great things? Hard to argue with them with views like this!

Making a new place feel like home can take time, and sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. 🍂
Recently, members of our community used stencils to make their own fall doormats, adding a personal touch to their apartment doorways. We know moving into senior living can come with changes in independence, so we want our residents to continue making choices, expressing their personalities, and creating a space that feels like theirs. 🧡

An 80 degree day in October?! Yes please! 👏🏼 So many of our residents soaked in the unseasonably warm weather by spending the afternoon outside. We all know winter is right around the corner and seems to last forever here in Wisconsin, so we took advantage of the beautiful day while we could! ☀️

🎃 Pumpkin painting looked a little different for everyone lately! Some residents painted real pumpkins to decorate the outside of our building (take a look next time you visit!), while others rolled balls through paint to create marbled designs on paper pumpkins to be displayed in their rooms.
At Caretta, we love finding different ways for everyone to take part, no matter their ability level. Offering the same seasonal fun in different ways gives everyone a chance to get creative, work on hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, and enjoy making something of their own. 🍂 Plus, it’s always fun to see how differently everyone’s pumpkins turn out!

Join us this THURSDAY, October 15th for the first session in our three-part series about caring for those with dementia titled Beyond Behaviors: Identifying and Meeting Unmet Needs 🧠
Sheri Fairman, a nationally recognized dementia educator and advocate, will share the "ABC Approach- All Behavior is Communication". When demenita is in the picture, behaviors are great indicators of what a person might want or need. This presentation will help attendees better understand what may be behind those behaviors and how to respond with compassion.
📆 Date: Thursday, October 15th
⏰ Time: 2:00pm
📍 Location: 1780 Servant Way, Green Bay 54311
Planning to attend? Please RSVP at 920-504-3443! Looking forward to seeing you!

Another successful shopping outing is in the books! 🛒
This time, we made stops at both Target and Pick ’n Save, which gives our residents a chance to pick out their own groceries and household items. From everyday essentials to a few things they wanted for themselves, it’s always nice to get out, shop at their own pace, and choose exactly what they need! 🛍️

October 4th - 10th is National Fire Prevention Week so naturally we spent some time making thank-you cards for a few local fire stations to show our appreciation for the fighter fighters who do so much for our community! 🔥 We’re always trying to spread a little kindness and gratitude.
Fun fact: In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country!

A small crew for Breakfast with the Boys, but still plenty of smiles across the table! ☕️🥚
We started our day off on the right note with a classic breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. 🥓 These monthly meals are definitely something we look forward to!
