Winter Newsletter 2024/2025

The Morrison Communities invites you to read the winter edition of our newsletter. Check out the many activities your favorite residents enjoyed, hear from our dedicated staff, and enjoy pictures from November, December, and January. It was an eventful winter at Summit, Sartwell, and Morrison!

As we progress through a snowy, cold winter we focus on maintaining a spirit of community and thankfulness even after the magic of the holidays fades. And though we naturally slow down for the season, our residents stayed busy. Honoring our loved ones, sharing stories with our friends, and recognizing the strengths and creativity of others are all essential ways The Morrison Communities are welcoming 2025. In these pages there are several collages highlighting the holiday festivities. There is also advice for keeping healthy during respiratory virus season, and how to nurture a grateful spirit.

As always, you can follow us on Facebook! We share regular updates there on all the resident activities. From socials to community outings, keep an eye peeled for your loved ones. While the newsletter brings it all together for a seasonal review, it’s always nice to see what’s happening in real time – especially in long winter’s like this one!

Interested in becoming part of the fun? Would you like to make a direct impact on the lives of our residents? The Morrison Communities would love to have YOU join our mission! You can make a monetary gift today, or you can contact us for information on becoming a part of our beloved volunteer team. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of our community to remain a leading provider of senior living and care!

Thank you for supporting The Morrison Communities, and we hope you all stay warm as we wait for an exciting Spring!
