This One’s for the Birds!” 🐦💛
Our residents rolled up their sleeves and got creative making bird feeders today — and let’s just say, the conversations and laughter flowed just as freely as the birdseed!
This wasn’t just a fun craft; it was an act of kindness. A way to give back to nature, to show love for even the smallest of God’s creatures. It’s beautiful to see their servant hearts in action — always thinking of others, always caring, always giving.
At Freedom Senior Living, it’s not just about activities, it’s about purpose — and today, that purpose had wings.

Brain health affects every single one of us—from memory and mental well-being to movement and daily function. Yet, so many neurological disorders, from Alzheimer’s to migraines, still have no cure.
This week, our Freedom Family wore blue to support Brain Awareness Week and to shine a light on the importance of brain research.
Every conversation we start, every bit of awareness we raise, helps push research forward. Together we can make a difference!💙
