No Tricks, Just Treats!
November 2, 2022
Trueman Pointe was ecstatic to host our annual Trick-or-Treat for all of our friends, family and neighbors. We are always so joyous to bring our community together for a fun evening of boos, laughs and, most importantly, candy!
When this event came about, Carolyn Engert, our Administrator, thought it would be fun for our residents to invite the Hilliard community and spread our Culture of Care beyond our facility walls. It also gave us an opportunity to show off some of the renovations Trueman has been working on for the past few months. The entire Trueman Pointe Team was on-board and agreed that this would be a fun event for families and residents. Due to the pandemic, it has been hard in the past to hold social events, so it's important to host more activities in the building as regulations loosen up!
When the time came for Trick-or-Treating, our staff and residents got set up to pass out candy. Visitors were welcome to walk around the building to collect their candy. Along with candy, we had games, pumpkin painting, and lots of cookies and drinks for our guests.
One of our MDS Nurses, Sara Adkins, brought her mom, two kids, and her pup to the event. She shared,
"My kids love when they come to visit mom's work, so they were excited for weeks about trick-or-treating here. My youngest kid, JR., loved seeing all the dogs in costumes and getting all the candy. My daughter, Gabriella, had so much fun painting the pumpkins and saying hi to all the grandmas and grandpas."
It's was so heartwarming to see visitors in the facility without masks for the first time in two years. Seeing all the residents smile, laugh and interact with the little kids was the best part of the evening. Kelly P., one of our residents, expressed,
"All the kids were just so cute in their costumes! It's always nice to see kids in the facility. They just bring joy to so many of the residents here."
We are so thankful for our Management Team, who helped organize the event and stayed late that evening to make sure everything went okay. At Trueman Pointe, it's important to have community involvement so that members of the Hilliard community can see the care we provide our residents. It's also always nice for our residents to see new faces and interact with people outside of our staff members. We loved seeing everyone come together to put on such a great event for our residents and visitors!
