This past week, a handful of our Sprenger Health Care facilities hosted a community wide Trick-or-Treat. While no tricks were found, there were plenty of treats and even some animals!
Rose Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation had a special visit from Outback Ray, who brought a hoard of friends with him – SpongeBob the albino python, Mater the tortoise, Snowball the mosaic chinchilla, Ruby the albino milksnake, Ziggy the blue-tongued skink, and Zombie the hairless guinea pig. Many of which seemed to find the top of people’s heads the most comfortable spot to rest.
Village of the Falls hosted their annual Trunk-or-Treat, which was open to the public. The community of Olmsted Falls showed up to enjoy an apple making station and took time to peruse the spookily-decorated trunks! That was, until a scary T-Rex (also known as Snowball, the dog) showed up Jurassic Park-style!
Amherst Manor also joined in on the Trunk-or-Treat fun, where the community of Amherst showed up with over 150 attendees – that’s a lot of candy! The line for the decorated Trunks wrapped around the front of the main building, making it one of the facility’s biggest events! Superman even made sure to stop by for some treats.
Autumn Aegis’ halls were filled with candy, laughter, and lots of Trick-or-Treaters! The residents had the times of their lives as their families joined them to pass out candy to the little ones.
Sprenger Health Care Bluffton hosted a spooky trick-or-treat for residents, families, and their whole community! They had a wide array of events, including a coloring contest, slime-making, a scavenger hunt, and they played the movie ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ as candy was being collected. They also had some delicious Halloween cupcakes and candied apples!
Candy and costumes are often the center focus of celebrating Halloween, but these Sprenger Health Care facilities made it their goal to ensure each, and every resident had the opportunity to mingle with their beloved community — by passing out or receiving candy, dressing up, painting pumpkins, decorating and perusing trunks, and visiting with staff, friends, and families. That is the true spirit of Halloween!
