Since we couldn’t gather for big group activities during the holiday season, we made the rounds with our festive treat cart on several occasions. Santa even came by to help out one time! 🎅
We have a few talented pianists in our Memory Care at Arbor Lakes Senior Living, and we love hearing them play! 🎹🎼
Here’s a quick clip of one of our Memory Care residents showing of her talent on the piano!
Happy crafters bringing holiday spirit to Arbor Lakes Senior Living with some Christmas door decorations! ??
You could feel the love, joy, and Christmas spirit fill our building at the holiday anniversary celebration last week!
We were visited by Santa and Mrs. Claus, and had LOTS of music to help us celebrate: the piano stylings of Mavis and David, the beautiful “Sounds of Christmas” performance by the Armstrong Chamber Singers, and a joyous Christmas concert performed by our very own Arbor Lakes Choir! We are so proud of our choir and the happy sounds of Christmas that they share with all of us. The event wouldn’t be complete without all the delicious food made by our Chef Jean, including homemade Christmas cookies.
From all of us at Arbor Lakes Senior Living, we wish you and your family a very happy holiday season!
Our Arbor Lakes Choir performed in both Memory Care units this week, happily spreading lots of joy and holiday cheer!
It was such a treat to hear everyone join together and sing Christmas music.
We were so lucky to have the Hanson family perform here at Arbor Lakes. Their talented family played piano and violin for us, and shared a lot of Christmas joy and kindness with the entire room!
On September 28, Arbor Lakes Senior Living and the Southview Senior Communities team will be joining the Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota for the 2019 Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Target Field. There are 5.8 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s today, and that number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million by 2050. We’d love your help as we work to raise awareness, reduce risk, and eliminate Alzheimer’s through research and care. Learn more about donating and/or registering to walk. Together, we can fight to end Alzheimer’s!
Here are some photos from last year’s walk.
Nashville singer-songwriter, Claudia Nygaard, performed for us here at Arbor Lakes Senior Living! Claudia is the niece of one of our tenants, Eloise Farmer. She has won numerous songwriting awards, including being named a winner at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival songwriting competition. We were so lucky to have her share her beautiful voice and musical talents with us while she was in town. Thank you, Claudia!
We were so lucky to have the Hanson Family perform for us at Arbor Lakes. Both parents are classically trained pianists, and all five of their children play piano. A couple of the kids play violin, too! What a talented and incredibly kind family that volunteered and gifted us with this concert. We can’t wait to have them back again to perform!
Everyone had SO much fun at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater’s amazing production of “Mamma Mia!”
Our Activities Assistant, Vicki Higgins, hosted a “vintage prom fashions show” for our residents in Memory Care. It was so much fun seeing all the fashions and how they’ve changed over the years. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and sharing fond memories of their proms and wedding days.
Arbor Lakes hosted the 2019 Walk to End Alzheimer’s fundraiser with a Country Barbecue, Piano Stylings by David Geske, and raffle prizes. It was so nice to see everyone come together for a great cause that is dear to all of our hearts. We’d like to thank everyone for their donations, generosity, and all the help that made the fundraiser a success!
