🍂 A Look Back at November at Olney 🍂
This past month was filled with meaningful engagement, and plenty of smiles. From Thrive Through Therapy with RSI, to the excitement and friendly competition of Bingo, to our heartwarming Kindness Parade that brought joy to every corner of our neighborhood — November was a month full of fun.
And in between the big events were the everyday moments that matter just as much!
There’s so much happening each day that it’s impossible to capture it all, but here are just a few of the moments that made November shine.

🟢 Olney and the Oobleck 🟢
Today at Olney Memory Care by Artis, we brought a classic Dr. Seuss tale to life! Our residents enjoyed a hands-on science activity as we made our very own oobleck — the magical, mysterious substance from “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.”
We started by reading the story together, then rolled up our sleeves to mix, stir, squish, and explore this silly, slimy, and surprisingly therapeutic creation. The room was filled with laughter, curiosity, and lots of green hands!
What a fun, imaginative day at Olney! ✨
