🧦 446 PAIRS OF SOCKS! 🧦

That’s a whole lot of warmth and kindness! ❤️

Our Socktober event was a huge success, and thanks to the generosity of our Woodland Village family, we collected an incredible 446 pairs of socks to donate to United Way! 🎉

Something as simple as a pair of socks can make a big difference for someone in need, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped us spread a little extra warmth this season.

A HUGE thank you to our residents, families, staff, and everyone who contributed! Together, we’re making a difference, one pair at a time! 🧦💕

During this, Spiritual Care Week, Trinity Health Senior Communities Mission Leader Michael Prince shares a prayer in gratitude for all of the chaplains across the country who enrich our residents' and colleagues' experience in so many diverse ways:
"Gracious and Holy God, You created us as whole persons -- body, mind, and spirit -- and Your spirit sustains and renews us every day. We give you thanks for our chaplains, for their faithful service within our communities, providing pastoral presence and care. Thank you for all our colleagues who are also called to provide spiritual care, as we together serve our Mission in the spirit of the Gospel and demonstrate Reverence for the whole person. May Your spirit enliven and strengthen each of us. In Your Holy Name we pray. Amen.

We are thrilled to share that eight Trinity Health Senior Communities have received "Gold Trophy" icons on their Nursing Home Compare profiles. The graphic indicates the Centers' for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) designation for high performers among nursing homes that qualify for CMS' Risk-Based Survey program. A Gold Trophy icon appears alongside each of these skilled nursing communities' Care Compare star rating.
The Gold Trophy is shown on roughly 12% of U.S. nursing homes' profiles, and while it is not the only indicator of quality, it's certainly a point of pride! Congratulations Bellbrook, Glacier Hills' Care and Rehabilitation Center, The Neighborhoods of White Lake, Fraser Villa, St. Joseph of the Pines Health Center, Mercy Circle, Mary's Meadow, and MercyOne Dyersville Care Center!

Staying active is about more than exercise—it’s about continuing to do the things we love! 💪💙

At Woodland Village, we offer lots of exercise classes to help residents keep moving and stay connected. Many also enjoy exercising on their own, whether that’s taking a walk, stretching, or following their own fitness routine. There are many ways to stay active!

As we age, exercise and therapy can help support independence, confidence, and everyday activities. Physical therapy focuses on strength, balance, and mobility. Occupational therapy helps with daily tasks and favorite hobbies, while speech therapy supports communication, thinking skills, and swallowing needs.

Everyone’s goals and abilities are different, and every bit of progress is worth celebrating. Enjoy these photos of our residents in action! Here’s to keeping moving and cheering each other on! 👏
