Today is National Compliment Day! It’s a reminder to share encouragement and appreciation freely. Remember, it costs nothing to be kind, but the impact of a thoughtful word can last a lifetime!
Tell a friend they make you smile. Thank a caregiver for their dedication. Compliment a resident on their sense of humor or style. 😁
We’ve seen how positivity strengthens bonds and brightens spirits. Let’s make today—and every day—a little kinder.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a leader whose message of equality, compassion, and courage continues to inspire us all.
His dream reminds us that even small acts of kindness can ripple outward and create lasting change.
May we carry his vision forward by leading with empathy, listening with understanding, and building communities grounded in love and unity.
