October 2016
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Assisted Living Week activities in September.  Our residents enjoyed Keeping Connected to: nature, their past, their hometowns, their family, animals, old traditions and memories as the annual theme of "Keep Connected" guided us through a fun week. To see pictures from this busy week visit our Facebook page  Madison Heights Memory Care Community.  

This month we are scheduled to have a Halloween Extravaganza sponsored by a local church and a Pre-K class that will be trick or treating at Madison Heights on Halloween morning.  We are also gearing up for the Walk to End Alzheimer's in November-more information about the walk is found later in this email.   

We hope that you will join us for upcoming events as we strive to fill our residents' days with meaning and purpose.
