Last month, we threw a welcome party for our new nurse, Amber. Everyone had a great time meeting and welcoming her to our amazing community. She makes an incredible addition to our staff and we are so lucky to have her. Please join us in welcoming Amber to Southview Senior Living! 👩⚕️⚕️
A friendly game of balloon ball never disappoints here at Southview. We have so much fun and it always gives EVERYONE the giggles! 😂
We had plenty of “hoppy” times at Southview Senior Living while celebrating Easter! 🐰🥚💐
To prepare for the holiday, some of our community members spent time coloring Easter eggs. We even tried a fun experiment where we left five of the eggs to dry in the refrigerator overnight – the colors came out so bright and beautiful! The Easter bunny also hopped by for a surprise visit, which put a smile on everyone’s face. And congratulations to Judy, the winner of our “golden Easter egg hunt.” We hope you enjoy your gift card and sweets! 🎉🍫
In celebration of Oktoberfest last month, residents enjoyed a wonderful lunch and dessert along with a little accordion music, dancing, and, of course, beer! ?

We watched a Christmas movie, Christmas in Connecticut, with hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream, & snickerdoodle cookies YUM!!!!!! Amy & Adams came in so we could sing some Christmas songs & ring some bells with a roaring fire.

Our tenants had a lot of fun at our Winter Fun Days! They played a snowball bucket toss where it was the Blue team against the Red team, both trying to throw snowballs in the buckets that were marked with different points. The team that won got hostess pink snowballs, they had so much fun they didn’t want to stop playing.
We also had a winter movie with popcorn and lemonade and later had a winter sundae day, with facts and trivia about Minnesota winters. Our tenants also had the opportunity to go on a medallion hunt.
