Our Sweethearts

What’s a Valentines party without conversation hearts and games and treats and music and a little bit of dancing! We even crowned a King and Queen from resident and staff votes! Lots of fun for all of us.

Just Her Is Enough


As so many women do, she was more than willing to pass on getting her picture taken this day. But not him! Married for nearly 51 years, Thomas insisted on a picture with his bride, Maria. They were both stumped when asked if they remembered any gifts they gave each other through the years. But, just like that, Thomas beamed as he came back with the best answer a guy could ever give: Her life! Just her is enough!

Love is alive and well at Community Village! A Happy Valentines Day indeed.

Balancing Exercise: Single Limb Stance

Balance is so important!

We want a well-balanced meal and a balanced perspective on life. Keeping our balance while on our feet is just as important for preventing dangerous falls that result in injuries with long, painful recoveries. Start your balancing exercises slowly and work up to more challenging ones.
