Happy Halloween from all of us at RPH🎃

Halloween is almost here! 🎃👻

Frankie moved into our Homestead when “mom” needed memory care🏡 Ever since, he’s been one of the most popular guys around RPH! He loves visiting his neighbors, cuddles with mom, and long walks outside☀️ In Eden philosophy, pets are cherished as beloved family members, bringing warmth, joy, and unconditional love to elders, especially through life’s transitions💚

Live music is another “fan favorite” among elders at RPH! Especially singing & dancing to songs played on the guitar, banjo & ukulele by Mike🎶 #ActivitiesAllAround

Our elders make this house a HOME🏡❤️

Couples who journey through life together deserve to stay together❤️ John recently moved into our Homestead community to live side by side with his wife, Trudy. Every day they share meals, spend quality time together, and continue to create more moments filled with love and happiness. RPH offers both assisted living AND memory care — providing the opportunity for their love story to continue effortlessly, just as it always has🌹

We are continuing to highlight staff shoutouts from RPH families! Today we are featuring Shera — one of our dedicated Medication Technicians💜 “Shera: You are such a special person that moves with grace and kindness. You are always available to family members to speak with when needed and to lend a helping hand to staff and elders. Your ability to multi-task is amazing and you do it well. Thanks for being so thoughtful, kind and helping me and my family navigate this new transition in Mom’s life. Your hard work and dedication to your profession does not go unnoticed.” “Shera does her job seemingly effortlessly. She has such a kind and easy demeanor and is always helpful. She has put my mind at ease more than once.” Thank you Shera for all that you do!

A collection of sweet smiles😊💕

Our screened-in porch is a great place where elders go to relax. And recently, John’s been playing gentle tunes for fellow residents while they enjoy the sun and fresh air 🎶 Moments like these are a great reminder of the rich lives our elders have lived, reminding us of the talents and experiences each of them carry. Thank you John for sharing your gifts with us💙

When it comes to activities — there are a handful of “fan favorites” that are popular among ALL residents. One fan favorite is “Zumba with Denise”🪩 Denise brings an amazing energy to each class, and really knows how to get each elder jamming to the music in their own way🎵 She also has a big heart for our mission ❤️ Thank you, Denise!

There is joy in the small things🫧

A sweet reminder how Eden philosophy means bringing life into every corner of our homes — and nothing does that quite like our animal friends ❤️

As part of Assisted Living Week, we asked RPH families to give shoutouts to staff that go above and beyond! Today we are featuring Heather — our Well-Being Engagement Leader💜 “Heather: Thanks for doing everything you do with activities at Cottage Grove. You keep everything fun and go above and beyond your job to keep the elders happy. You are a superstar and very good at your job. You are the best!” “I would like to give a shout out to Heather who always brings a cheerful demeanor with her” “Kudos to Heather, who is very adept at planning fun adventures for the residents.” Thank you Heather for all you do!

Advice for younger generations🔮

Our homes open to shared courtyards—creating spaces where elders can connect with each other and enjoy the outdoors🌼 Some enjoy taking walks every morning, others will sit and read a book, and our staff do their best to have spontaneous and stimulating activities sprinkled in throughout the week. #EdenAlternative🌿

#EdenAlternative🌿 Principle 1: Loneliness, helplessness, and boredom are painful and destructive to our health and well-being. At RPH, we prioritize meaningful connections and foster a sense of belonging, warmth and companionship.

🏡 Explore our unique residences, each designed with the comfort and well-being of our elders in mind! 1. Cottage Grove - A haven offering memory care, respite services, and enhanced memory care. Elders are embraced by the warmth of four beautiful homes, where shared living spaces foster a sense of community. With private bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, and a secure courtyard with raised gardens, it's a place where every Elder finds a home. 2. The Homestead - Located in Rochester's 19th Ward is a historic dwelling that celebrates diversity, practices prayer, and welcomes everyone as family. Uniquely tailored care spans every stage of progressive dementia, providing a supportive environment from early cognitive impairment to advanced dementia. A place where care is a reflection of compassion and community. 3. Creekstone - Memory Care Residences that offer a comforting and sustaining household setting for those living with memory loss. Elders share cozy living spaces, private bedrooms, and enjoy the serenity of a secure courtyard with raised gardens. The screened front porch in each house provides a tranquil gathering spot for elders to connect.
