A Season of Belonging at Brightly Senior Living
At the heart of Brightly Senior Living, we prioritize dignity, compassion, and connection. During the holidays, these values shine brighter than ever. Whether through shared meals, festive activities, or simply being present, the people who work and live at Brightly make sure no one celebrates alone.
The holiday season is often described as a time for family, warmth, and togetherness. Yet for many older adults, especially those who have transitioned into assisted living, the season can also bring feelings of nostalgia, change, or even loneliness. That’s why the role of Brightly Senior Living becomes especially meaningful this time of year.
Far beyond providing care and daily support, Brightly steps into the role of family,creating connection, celebration, and a true sense of belonging.
Brightly Senior Living works intentionally to keep traditions alive, whether residents arrive with decades of holiday rituals or they are experiencing a new chapter in life. Sta members decorate hallways with festive touches, host tree-lighting ceremonies, arrange cookie-baking sessions, and bring in live music and carolers. These activities aren’t just entertainment; they’re a way of honoring residents’ memories and making the environment feel familiar and comforting.
Do you ask yourself what’s behind the bricks and mortar and the beautiful facade? What makes a senior living community stand out? The real questions are, will your mom be given the extra care she needs to assist her with brushing her hair, special attention for loss of vision while eating in the dining room, or the chance to share her favorite family recipe with the community? Can your dad take part in special medical treatments or on-site therapies? Is there a compassionate, expertly trained sta , cooperative management, and meaningful, engaging activities? Would you enjoy visiting your loved one in a comfortable home-like environment, joining them for a delicious, freshly prepared meal that is served restaurant style? These are the features that make a GREAT community – these special touches and much more make BRIGHTLY SENIOR LIVING.
Brightly Senior Living o ers a ordable Independent, Assisted, and Memory Care living options, and recently introduced a new Crossover Care program. All options provide exceptional services and individualized care that people need. They’ve created a family of extraordinary people, both residents and sta . They are a team! A genuine smile while assisting with morning medication reminders, a warm, inviting hug from the housekeeper, the sounds of belly laughs and loud cheers after celebrating someone’s birthday, all give sta a reason to come to work each day. Even the residents play an important role in caring for one another. Camaraderie and friendly competition during a good game of Bunko, sharing stories and life experiences while having a hot cup of co ee, and gentle words of encouragement during morning sit-and-be- t classes. These are the moments in everyday life at Brightly Senior Living that make a di erence.
The Brightly community has knowledgeable nurses and healthcare sta to assist in all activities of daily living and provide a fully secured, homelike environment. It is locally owned and operated, and the tenured management team has been working together for over ten years. Honesty and compassion radiate in every person you meet because they are doing something they love. Brightly is passionate about you and your loved ones’ care and wellbeing and strives to become a second family—one that laughs, reminisces, sings, and celebrates together. And in a season de ned by love and togetherness, that sense of belonging is the greatest gift of all.
Come Worship Wi th Us
The New Year’s Eve countdown is on, with people eagerly awaiting the opportunity to say goodbye to this year and welcome the possibilities of the year ahead. The month of January’s name was derived from the Roman god Janus, who was the god of beginnings, endings, doorways, and transitions. Symbolized by his two faces looking in opposite directions, Janus presided over many transitions.
Billions enjoy celebrating the arrival of a new year. While New Year’s Eve may be known for its raucous nature, complete with over owing cocktails and packed dance oors, parents looking to celebrate with their young children have plenty of options to turn NYE into a more family-friendly a air. Explore these ideas for family-friendly NYE fun.
• Noon Year’s Eve: Staying up until midnight might be a stretch for young children, who tend to get wired and cranky the later into the evening they go beyond typical bedtime. Instead of waiting until 12 a.m. for the countdown, move it back (or ahead) 12 hours to 12 noon. Young children won’t mind if it’s the sun out instead of the moon, as long as they get to make noise and throw confetti.
• Homemade noisemakers: Making noise is part of the fun of welcoming the new year. Kids can get in on the act of crafting their own noisemakers from items that already may be around the house. Collect empty toilet paper or paper towel cardboard tubes for this purpose. Cover one end of the tube with masking tape or a round piece of plastic. Fill the tube with beads, small seashells,
rice, or dried beans, leaving enough room for the materials to move around inside the tube. Seal the other end and allow the kids to decorate their noisemakers. Then it’s only a matter of shaking them when it’s time to welcome 2026.
• Dress-up photo booth: Many people love to dress up for a special occasion. At a family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration, set aside a corner of a room with dress up props like funny glasses, feather boas, top hats, and NYE-speci c items. Explore digital disposable camera apps like POV, Lense or Pixel Party. Guests simply scan a QR code for the event that the party host has established for a low price, and can snap moments at this “photo booth” that are shared e ortlessly to one digital place.
• Kids beverage bar: Ensure that younger guests can be age-appropriate mixologists with sodas, fruit juices, citrus slices, and maraschino cherries. Or set up a hot cocoa bar with miniature marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and peanut butter chips.
• Family-friendly dance club: Put together a playlist of popular songs and choose the “clean” versions so children will not hear questionable lyrics. Clear an area of the party to serve as the dance oor, and utilize strobe lights or a disco ball to enhance the atmosphere.
Families can celebrate New Year’s Eve with kids in entertaining ways that are appropriate for everyone in the home.
