At Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center, we believe in celebrating life’s sweet moments—and this past month was overflowing with them.
Our therapy wing transformed into a culinary classroom as our talented residents showcased their Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skills by baking up several batches of mouthwatering peach cobbler. The aroma alone was enough to make everyone smile, and the taste? Absolutely divine!
But the creativity didn’t stop there. Residents put their problem-solving hats on and dove into a fun-filled session of cookie decorating, turning simple treats into edible masterpieces. It was a delightful way to blend cognitive engagement with a sprinkle of sugary joy.
A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Tropical Smoothie in Bryant. Our elders were treated like royalty during a special outing, enjoying refreshing smoothies and warm hospitality. And for those who stayed behind, the kindness continued—smoothies were delivered back to the facility so no one missed out on the tropical treat.
Then, we took a magical detour down the yellow brick road and spent a whimsical week in the Land of Oz. With the generous support of Pro Care and Mt. Carmel, our journey was filled with refreshments, desserts, and plenty of smiles.
And what’s a celebration without a cookout? Our very own grilling wizards, John Montgomery and Brad Hartley, fired up the grill and served up juicy hamburgers that had everyone coming back for seconds.
To top it all off, Tribute Health Plans gifted our residents with a serene and soul-soothing session led by Sarah-Kate Ross, a board-certified Music Therapist. Her music brought peace, joy, and a few happy tears to our community.
At Southern Trace, every week is a new adventure, and we’re so grateful for the partnerships and people who help us make each day meaningful. Here’s to more joy, more creativity, and more community.
