February was a wonderful month in our Senior Solutions Management communities. Everyone was “feeling the love” and it was a joy to see all the fun photos from different celebrations. Of course, Valentine’s Day was a big hit, but some of our other communities kept up with a “heart” theme for the month. 

Parties and Banquets

River Oaks Place in Lenoir City, Tennessee had a great time with their Valentine’s Day party. In addition to a fancy dinner, themed treats and cutouts decorated the building. Residents enjoyed games, photogenic props, and music with their loved ones. One user commented on social media: “You throw the best parties!”

At Carriage House Inn in Shelbyville, Tennesse, the community had a special Valentine’s Day Luncheon. They had a spectacular menu of garden salad, cajun chicken pasta, garlic cheddar biscuits, and strawberry pretzel parfait. Residents also enjoyed a signature cocktail of Pink Moscato Strawberry Lemondade. Sounds delicious!

In honor of National Wear Red Day, a campaign meant to bring awareness to women’s heart health, staff at HOPE Memory Care (Dacula) planned ahead and wore red on February 5th. The collaboration between the staff members was a great conversation starter about heart health with residents and visitors to the community. 

Plantation South in Dunwoody, Georgia supported the “Have a Heart…Donate Blood during National Heart Month” campaign by the American Red Cross with a Blood Drive right in their parking lot! Other local groups, like Ability Rehab and Southern Grace Hospice and Palliative Care, showed their support by setting up information tables at the event. 

At Carriage House Inn, staff teamed up with Alive Hospice to present a health education seminar on heart health. Attendees learned more about what they could do to keep their hearts healthy.
