COMMUNITY NEWS
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.
Gracewood of North Branch-Mother's Day
/April showers bring May flowers AND Mother’s Day! Our whole North Branch Gracewood family got together for a beautiful celebration of Mother’s and Daughters. It was a fun night with music by Vinnie Rose. Vinnie had everyone singing and tapping toes. We had snacks and a delicious dessert to top off all the fun. Everyone had so much fun, we can’t wait for Father’s Day in June! Happy spring everyone!
Gracewood of Hugo-Mother's Day/Father's Day
/Gracewood of Hugo honored mothers with a Mother’s Day celebration on May 5th. The fun started with the band Reminisce playing some old time country music for us. After the toe tapping music, they enjoyed cake, ice cream, punch, and visiting with family members.
Please join us for a Father’s Day picnic, Thursday, June 16th. Dinner starts at 5:00 followed by sing-a-long music with Steve Rosa on guitar. RSVP to Chris or Kat in the kitchen so we can plan accordingly for dinner.
Gracewood of Hugo-Therapy Horse
/Gracewood of Hugo had a visit from a therapy horse Dr. Pepper, in April. The owner of the horse talked about the training of the horse and the many awards the horse has received. Dr. Pepper has even appeared on television. Every resident had the opportunity to pet the horse and even brush the horse if they so desired.
Gracewood of Hugo-Cloggers
/The Yes-U-Can Cloggers performed at Gracewood of Hugo again this spring. The Cloggers change their music each year so the performance is always new. The residents enjoy the variety of toe-tapping music and watching the Cloggers move quickly to the music.
Comforts of Home-Cook Book (Recipes)
/I would like to extend the invitation to you all to submit a recipe for our Comforts of Home cook book. If you have not been made aware of this exciting project I attached the flyer for your viewing! We hope to have them in print by mid-summer and to be able to sell them to raise funds to support Alzheimer’s awareness.
Our residents, families and staff have all been invited to take part in this and I would love for you too as well!

White Pine of Fridley-Spring Has Sprung
/Spring Has Sprung at White Pine Fridley!
Here at White Pine Fridley April has flown by much too fast. This month we got a head start on our planting on Earth day, April 22nd residents potted small grass plants for their room, and they are already sprouting! Men with Hope visited us this month as well, singing a great variety of music from country gospel to the good oldies! Resident’s couldn’t help but get up and dance when they played some polka favorites! The resident’s also enjoyed sampling some great beers and cheeses this month in honor of National Beer & Cheese fondue days!
Gracewood of North Branch-Happy Spring
/Happy Spring from our Gracewood family in North Branch! Everyone is so excited for warmer weather. Easter is a wonderful sign of spring, and we had such a great time doing assorted Easter crafts, and of course remembering the resurrection of our Savior. We had a lot of eggs to decorate and everyone was all smiles when they took their eggs out of the color. We were giggling at Delores as she was coloring eggs and Darrel was eating them! We look forward to seeing all the flowers start to poke through the ground and getting some warmth on the patio.
