🎉 Monday marked the final day of National Nurses Week, and we’ve had a blast celebrating our incredible nursing team all week long! 💙
From delicious meals and sweet treats to a fun pickle bar (yes, really! 🥒), we’ve loved showing our appreciation in every way we can.
Check out the pickle bar and the special meal we served on Saturday for our amazing Baylor (weekender) nurses. Their dedication ensures our residents receive compassionate, high-quality care 24/7—and we couldn’t be more grateful. 💐
Thank you, nurses, for all that you do! 💪

The Pen Pal Program at Abernethy Laurels came back for the 2024–2025 school year!
This heartwarming partnership paired 33 fifth graders from Taylorsville Elementary with residents at Abernethy Laurels, exchanging handwritten letters each month. Seniors shared stories of their lives, and students practiced cursive while learning from a different generation.
The program wrapped up in May with an in-person visit—when pen pals finally met face to face!
It’s a beautiful reminder that connection doesn’t need Wi-Fi—just a pen, paper, and a willing heart. 💌
