Holidays at Aravilla
We had a busy holiday season at Aravilla Sarasota. The month started off by going out to see the Christmas lights displayed around town. On the Tour of Lights, we admired the incredibly decorated neighborhoods complete with fake snow and a Candyland-themed house as we sang Christmas Carols on the bus. This month we also gathered with hot chocolate and marshmallows to watch holiday movies. The Resident Holiday Party gave our residents a chance to mingle while enjoying live music with Joey. We served many tasty desserts such as brownies and cheesecake. As
always, Santa came to our party along with the beautiful Mrs. Clause. On Christmas day, all the residents received gifts. Some got cozy, fuzzy holiday socks, others got bracelets, great smelling cologne and yummy chocolates. To kick off our fabulous new year, the residents were feted with champagne and a Noon Year’s Eve countdown to 2025! We are looking forward to a healthy, wonderful 2025 at our memory care community Aravilla Sarasota!

Forget Me Not Ministries
Every Tuesday at 11am, our residents welcome the church service provided by Forget Me Not Ministries, a long-standing partner in our Memory Care community. Forget Me Not Ministries is dedicated to making God’s love accessible and inclusive for all individuals regardless of their station in life. Forget Me Not Ministries brings the word of God to those who are unable to attend a regular church service. They offer up onsite church service here at Aravilla every week. They also come prepared with lots of hugs and smiles for our residents. Our Candlelight Christmas Service was beautiful. The residents enjoyed the service and sang a few songs along with the members of the Ministry. We are so thankful for your dedication and for the love and guidance that you share with all of us here at Aravilla.
