a sneak peek at our social life!
Faith continues to flourish here each week. ✝️
We’re so thankful for the many volunteers at Prince of Peace that bring Catholic Mass and Communion to our community each Wednesday. It’s a time for prayer, peace, and connection that many look forward to each week. 🙏🏼
We love making worship so accessible for our residents and families!

We’re spending today reliving yesterday’s moving Veterans Day celebration. 🇺🇸
Together with our friends at Heartland Hospice, we honored the men who bravely served in our Nation’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard with a special pinning ceremony. Each veteran was individually honored for their service with a flag pin and special certificate. ❤️🤍💙
The joy and pride radiating from the veterans and their families was a true testament to the unbreakable bonds created through military service as spouses, children, and grandchildren gathered to celebrate their heroes. 🥰
We are grateful for our veterans today and every day!

The Girl Scouts joined us today for some fun science experiments where we learned about weather! 🌧️⛄️🌈
These types of multi-generational activities help both seniors and children with improved mental health, creating a sense of purpose, and learning new skills.

The holidays are full of good food and even better company—but healthy habits can fit in too! 🌟 Thanks to our Hy-Vee dietitian for sharing smart, simple swaps! A few of our favorite takeaways?
🍷 try mocktails with Crystal Light instead of cocktails for a healthier option that tastes just as good
🍽️ swap cottage cheese or Greek yogurt into your favorite cream cheese recipes
💦 hold water or veggies in your hand while talking to avoid mindless and unhealthy eating
We’re learning together and growing together here at Caretta! 💚

We were in a real pickle... trying to choose our favorite flavor! 🥒 Residents crunched their way through dill, bread & butter, sweet & spicy, pickle chips, and even pickle balls for National Pickle Day! What a “dill-ightful” day for all! 😋

Cheers to local flavor and friendly faces! 🥂🍻
We’re always up for a good time, so we recently made our way to Duck Creek Winery-Distillery-Brewery for the afternoon! Since the family owned and operated business makes their own wine, beer, and spirits, everyone was able to find something they liked!
A heartfelt thank-you to the owner, Jim, for his wonderful hospitality. Jim went above and beyond to make our residents’ visit so memorable. 🍷🤍

Balloon volleyball is one of our favorite ways to pass time! It always brings out the smiles and boosts our mood. 🎈
This lighthearted game keeps everyone moving, improves coordination, and offers socialization. Who says exercise isn’t fun?

‘Leaf’ it to us to find the best fall views! 🍂🍁🍃
We hit the road to soak up the beauty of the season before it’s gone for good! 🚗 Lots of smiles as we sang ‘Autumn Leaves’ by Frank Sinatra.

Many hands (many not even shown!) make like work! 💪🏼
This tasty candy corn trail mix was as fun to make as it was to eat! Yumm! We liked the white chocolate chips and candy corn best. 🍫🎃

Proof that the joy of a new book never gets old! 📖
Our residents enjoyed a lovely outing to Barnes & Noble where they got to browse the bookshelves and sip on some yummy Starbucks drinks. We picked books ranging from WWII to short stories to murder mysteries. 📚 ☕️ Such a great opportunity to relax and recharge!

Things got a little spooky (and a lot of fun!) as residents used their senses to explore mystery boxes to figure out what eerie ‘body part’ they were feeling.
peeled grapes were eyeballs 🍇👀
cooked spaghetti noodles were guts 🍝
dried apple pieces were ears 👂🏼🍏
peeled tomato was a heart 🫀🍅
popcorn kernels were teeth 🦷🍿
steamed cauliflower was brains 🧠
A playful way to celebrate Halloween and exercise those sensory skills!” 👻✨

So many memories came rushing back as we explored the Packers Hall of Fame — from unforgettable games to legendary players. 🏈
Everyone learned something new about the team’s rich history and traditions. We couldn’t leave without a stop at the Pro Shop for some green and gold gear! 💚💛
