GAgives Day is final

GAgives Day is finally here! We are so excited to raise funds this year for one of our residents' favorite programs, Horticultural Therapy and Seeds for Seniors!

Horticultural Therapy isn’t just gardening – it’s an evidence-based therapy that improves quality of life, nurtures growth, and brings healing and happiness to our nursing home residents.

We are incredibly fortunate to have one of the largest and most comprehensive Horticultural Therapy programs in long-term care in the state - and, in our opinion, the best Horticultural Therapist in Kirk Hines!

Kirk uses nature-based activities that support physical rehabilitation and improve mood, memory, and cognitive function. Activities such as planting, digging, and weeding are both therapeutic and fun.

For residents living with dementia or limited mobility, Horticultural Therapy provides purpose, reduces anxiety, and sparks joy.

The Heart of Music Therapy

The joy on our residents’ faces says everything words cannot. Music has a way of reaching the heart and sparking memories that never fade. Our talented music therapist and JP bring warmth and connection through every performance, reminding us that compassionate elder care means nurturing the mind and soul as much as the body. At A.G. Rhodes, the gift of music helps our community thrive together.

We had such a fun time at Pebble Pals Storytime last month, we are doing it again in October!

Sharing stories and crafts with elders sparked cherished memories of their own children and grandchildren, opening the door to beautiful conversations, smiles, and connections. These simple yet powerful moments remind us how storytelling can bridge generations, nurture empathy, and create joy for all ages.

We hope you can join us for our next Pebble Pals Storytime at our Wesley Woods home on October 15. Register here: https://www.pebbletossers.org/pebble-pals/
