We had an amazing outing to Ferguson’s Orchard in Galesville! The morning’s weather was not being cooperative, but the sun came out as we were leaving from Caretta!! 🍎🍎☀️
Not only do they have delicious apples and apple cider, they have animals! They have baby ducklings, goats and chickens! 🐓🐐🐥🦆
Our host also shared a little history on the orchard and the families who owned it throughout the years. She was an amazing host!
The residents enjoyed listening about the past history and also shared stories of their own.

We had a Library presentation with Ashley. 📚
We learned about the great resources and programs the Library has to offer.
One of the resources Ashley talked about was an ap called Libby. It allows the residents to be able to listen to audiobooks or read books on their personal devices.
Most of the residents are also getting Library cards and can’t wait for our next outing to the Library!! 💳
Thank you Ashley for doing the presentation!

Cheeseball fun at Caretta.
Staff and residents were having fun trying to get as many cheeseballs to stick on the shaving cream cap.
Some of the residents decided to eat their cup of cheese balls instead of play the game.

Playing bingo with my residents at Caretta Senior Living in Holmen is such a joyful experience. It’s amazing to see their faces light up with excitement as they mark their cards and cheer each other on.
The laughter, friendly competition, and shared stories create a warm, connected atmosphere that makes every game special.
Moments like these remind me how meaningful it is to bring fun and companionship into their day.
