Community news from our beautiful assisted living and memory care communities.
We offer a wide variety of activities at our communities. Below are just a few examples of the fun we are having at White Pine, Comforts of Home and Gracewood Senior Living.
November was all about those who are around us each day. We celebrated Veteran’s Day with a tribute to them and thanking them for their service. We also celebrated the birth of yet another centurion, who had her 100th birthday on Thanksgiving Day (we now have 3!). and a wonderful Thanksgiving with many families and friends in our building !
The residents & staff of White Pine Fridley had a great time making sandwiches for The Sandwich Project. Everyone feeling grateful to have the opportunity to give back during the Holiday Season!
We are excited to announce that we have finished our new commercial. This is a wonderful video that describes some of the things our residents, families and staff experience when living and working at our beautiful assisted living and memory care communities.
Thank you to all the residents, family, staff and puppy that participated in this project!

Our Fall Festival at Gracewood in North Branch had a great turnout. Residents, families and friends enjoyed a lunch of pulled pork, baked potato soup, caesar salad and a delicious pumpkin crisp dessert. Toe tapping music was provided by The Reminisce Band. There were games, door prizes, and lots of candy for the kids.
Halloween Day the local daycare brought 18 little people dressed up in customs to visit with the residents. There were lots of smiles when the children sang and walked around and greeted all the residents.
The employees at White Pine Senior Living volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Coon Rapids.
Halloween Fun at White Pine! Everyone had a Spooky Time!
The residents love it when animals come to visit.
Halloween was a fun and busy day for the residents of Hugo. In the morning, a group of preschool children from a local childcare center came trick or treating. The residents enjoyed seeing the children dressed up in their costumes as the preschoolers were handed their treats. A few of the residents were also dressed in costumes.
During the afternoon, the residents bowled using a pumpkin, listened to silly Halloween riddles and frosted pumpkin cookies for their snack. Fun was had for all ages.
A local troop of girl scouts spent an evening with the residents of Gracewood of Hugo. The girls came dressed up in costumes and sang to the residents and brought a craft for them all to do together.
Gracewood of Hugo has been fortunate to have the librarian from the Forest Lake library read stories to the residents once a month. During her first visit, she read stories from a Minnesota author. The residents recognized the familiar places in Minnesota. In October, she read the story of Ichabod Crane. We all gathered around the fireplace together as she read the spooky legend of sleepy hollow.
