Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween! Today, our community is filled with festive treats, fun costumes and plenty of smiles. We hope your day is filled with more sweet treats than tricks.

Staying strong isn’t just about exercise—it’s about staying involved in the life you love.

Take a walk with a friend. Join an activity. Garden, dance, play a game, or simply keep moving throughout your day. Regular activity can help you stay connected to the people, hobbies, and routines that bring you joy.

Your EmpowerMe therapy team is here to help you keep doing what matters most.

Sips, Smiles & Spooky Shenanigans!

Things got a little silly at The Laurel! Our residents celebrated Halloween with festive mocktails, funny face masks, and plenty of laughter!

Who knew a few silly disguises and delicious drinks could bring so many smiles?! No tricks here… just lots of treats and laughter!

Pumpkins, Paint & Plenty of Creativity!

Who says pumpkins have to be carved to be fabulous?!
Our residents traded carving tools for paintbrushes and let their creativity shine! From colorful designs to one-of-a-kind masterpieces, each pumpkin was as unique as the artist behind it!

A little paint, a lot of laughter, and a whole lot of fall fun at The Laurel!

YouNite is rolling out in Region 6!

What a FUN-filled couple of days bringing our teams together to kick off YouNite! Our Region 6 Regional Team spent time sharing ideas, getting creative, and exploring how to bring YouNite's five pillars to life in our communities!

💙 Resident Choice – Giving residents a voice in their daily lives.
🏡 Homelike Environment – Creating spaces that truly feel like home.
🍽️ Dining Experience – Making mealtimes meaningful and enjoyable.
👏 Team Appreciation – Celebrating the people who make it all happen.
🤝 Community Involvement – Building connections and a sense of belonging.

The excitement was in seeing our teams brainstorm ways to turn these pillars into meaningful programs, experiences, and traditions that reflect what makes each community special!

We even introduced Rally, our Region 6 Regional Team mascot, as a little reminder that we're stronger together! 🐘

We can't wait to see our teams take YouNite back to their communities and make it their own!
One Region. Five Pillars. Endless Possibilities! 💙

Good balance can make everyday movement feel easier and more confident. Try adding simple balance activities to your routine, such as standing from a chair without using your hands or practicing controlled heel-to-toe steps—with support nearby when needed.

Your Physical Therapist can recommend exercises to help improve balance, strength, and stability.

Imagine a life free from daily chores and household maintenance. Our dedicated team handles the details so you can spend more time enjoying what you love with the people who matter most.

Want to keep doing more on your own? Staying active can help you maintain the strength, balance, and mobility you need for everyday activities.

Whether it’s getting dressed, walking to meals, or enjoying an outing with friends, your therapy team can help you work toward the activities that matter most to you.

Annette enjoyed getting creative with a festive fall craft, using Q-tips to paint a colorful candy corn! Having been part of the community for over a year, Annette loves keeping busy with painting and other creative activities. It’s always a pleasure to see her creativity shine!

Strength isn’t just about lifting weights—it helps you stand from a chair, climb stairs, carry groceries, and keep doing the things you enjoy.

Simple exercises, resistance training, and regular movement can help support strength and endurance. Your EmpowerMe Physical Therapist can help you find exercises that are safe and right for you.
