Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and we look forward to all that 2023 has in store for us! The start of the year has been a little rocky with our pipe burst in Memory Care, but we are looking forward to the completion of repairs and getting our unit put back together.

We have a lot of exciting new additions to our activities this year. As always, if you have a friend or family member you feel would benefit from Traditions, we encourage you to invite them in for activities or a meal. We would love for them to see all Traditions has to offer.

We will also be campaigning for Volunteers over the next month. We have had residents express interest in things such as yoga and various arts and crafts. If you, or someone you know, has a trade that they would like to showcase, we would love to have them reach out to our Activities Director, Georgie Robertson to see if we can add them to our volunteer listing.

We are proud to have had another successful year of serving Seniors in our community and we look forward to serving you in 2023!

Executive Director

We are excited to add a Monthly Pizza & Game Night to our event calendar! This will be a fun way to gather and enjoy each other’s company and also invite new members into our community to see what Traditions is all about!

Do you have friends, family, neighbors who might be interested in being involved in a social community like ours? Please invite them! 

This will take place the last Friday of every month. 

If you have questions, please stop in or give me a call at (812) 447.7740.

Community Relations Director

We have started a few new things in 2023 for activities! One program is called Fit Minds, where we exercise our brains; see article below for more information.

Fit Minds provides mental stimulation, in group and individualized programs for seniors and senior living communities.

For the past eight years, our three unique offerings have effectively supported a wide range of cognitive abilities, from independent seniors to those challenged with Alzheimer’s and other types of mild, moderate and advanced dementia.

Wellness Director

Just a bad weather reminder… If we are planning on getting inclement weather, please note that it will be very helpful if cars are NOT parked in the driveways. It is very difficult to have to plow crews remove snow or salt driveways if vehicles are in the way. During this weather, if you can park in the guest parking spaces that would be very helpful.

Maintenance Director

Traditions of Columbus Culinary Director, Chef Jamie Rutherford is excited to share our scratch-made crab cake recipe with you! "I cooked with my mother from the time I was young and knew I wanted to pursue a career in culinary. Cooking is an act of service and love in itself. But I also like to serve it with conversation. Relationships form over a good meal, and enjoying food together makes us feel at ease and at home. It's a good feeling to see our residents smile in the dining room."

We are also happy to share a crowd favorite from our "Taste of Traditions!"
