The Easter Bunny came by Eagan Pointe earlier this month and hid eggs all around our community, including one golden egg that awarded an Easter basket full of goodies to the lucky person who found it. Everyone had so much fun during the hunt, and congrats to our friend, Joan D., for finding the lucky golden egg! ??
We held our second vaccine clinic here at Eagan Pointe recently! We are so thankful, happy, and excited to have taken another big step in protecting our loved ones and getting life back to normal!
The Saint Paul Winter Carnival made it’s way to Eagan Pointe Senior Living again this year! We celebrated by hosting many fun community events, as well as challenges with prizes for the winners: The Snow King winter trivia challenge, Snow Queen’s tea bingo, a medallion hunt, a “snow and ice” sculpture challenge, a “fire and ice” happy hour, and a coronation meet-and-greet with treats honoring our Snow King and Queen. Check out photos of all the fun!
Santa had his hands full last month, but we were lucky to have Mrs. Claus stop by to visit and share gifts! In fact, she was kind enough to come by twice to ensure her Christmas cheer reached everyone at Eagan Pointe Senior Living. She visited with and delivered goodies to our Independent and Assisted Living residents one day and then came back to do the same with those members of our Garden Cove units. Thank you, Mrs. Claus! ?
While we couldn’t have a big gathering like previous years, we still had some fun to welcome in 2021 here at Eagan Pointe! We brought a New Year’s Eve happy hour cart around to each unit and served olives, cheese, crackers, and, of course, champagne. Members from our Garden Cove apartments also made New Year’s Eve party hats to show off during their sparkling cider toast that evening. We hope you all had a safe and very happy New Year! ??
Touching Hearts at Home brought their snack truck to Eagan Pointe recently, handing out treats and beverages to our hardworking staff members. The free snacks were a very kind and uplifting gesture. We enjoyed taking some goofy photos, too. Thank you, Touching Hearts!
We recently said goodbye to our Alternate Chef, Vince, who will now be the Head Chef at Lilydale Senior Living. While we will miss Vince, we congratulate and wish him the best of luck in his new role!
Eagan Pointe tenants enjoyed some nice summer weather while sipping cocktails on the patio.
The tenants of Eagan Pointe enjoyed a delightful meal together at Doolittles Woodfire Grill in Eagan. It’s usually an all-female outing, but this time we were lucky enough to have Burt with us. He came with his “cape” on, so we all called him “The King”! Everyone had an amazing time and came back with our bellies full.
Eagan Pointe hosted their semi-annual TaylorMarie’s fashion show. The models of the show are pictured here, left to right: Resident Director Renee, MaryAnn, Mary, Lois, Activity Director Taylor, and Evelyn. The models had so much fun showing off the new spring and summer styles while audience members got to enjoy their peers’ modeling abilities.
The tenants of Eagan Pointe enjoyed reading books with the children from KinderMusik during their weekly visit.
Eagan Pointe hosted an event called Mother’s Day Mimosas and Muffins to honor all mothers, aunts, grandmothers, daughters, dog moms, and more! Eagan Pointe staff and volunteers served them for the hour and socialized with all the moms around. We hope that everyone felt as special and appreciated as they deserve!
Eagan Pointe hosted “Parrot Help,” a group who rescues parrots across the Twin Cities area and cares for them until they’re adopted by their forever family. This is the fourth year they’ve come to show us their exotic birds. They even let Activity Director Taylor and Coordinator Nichole hold some of their birds!
This Memorial Day weekend, we at Eagan Pointe Senior Living remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for country.
Eagan Pointe was visited by a group of May Day Dancers for the third year in a row. The group was led by Eagan Pointe tenant Bill Hodapp’s son, Ted. It is such a fun tradition and way to ring in May and the spring season!
Over the past few weeks, residents saw exotic birds, made piñatas, and hosted a fashion show! May has been very colorful so far, especially with the flowers in bloom.
The residents of Eagan Pointe Senior Living loved viewing and learning about exotic birds that family member Brad Ruth brought in. The residents greatly enjoyed the live animals.
Residents made piñatas for Cinco De Mayo. They used decoupage to make the shell of the piñata and then used crepe paper to decorate them. On Cinco De Mayo, the residents whacked the piñatas open to find some goodies.
Eagan Pointe Senior Living hosted their Spring Fashion Show, featuring models MaryAnne, Evelyn, Joy, Bev, and Julie. We had special appearances by guest models Nurse Sarah and Home Health Aid Evita. It was so fun seeing all the spring fashions!
