SPRING VALLEY, WI – We had a delightful Halloween event at Spring Valley Health and Rehab Center (SVHRC) this year. Staff and residents decorated the inside of our building in preparation for trick-or-treaters on a blustery Friday 31, 2024. We had approximately 150 kids come through for a grand Halloween “Creepy Crawl!”
The staff members picked doors to decorate, and we had a door decorating contest. Our guests had 13 doors to judge! This is our 2nd year hosting this event indoors, which has proven to be very successful for the children and the nursing home residents. Our residents and kiddos can stay warm and comfortable in a safe environment.
The SVHRC staff and residents handed out candy and fresh popcorn. We also provided chili, hotdogs and hot apple cider to our guests. This year we partnered with the Valley Villas Assisted Living Trunk-or-Treat event which provided even more games and activities for the kids.
Thank you also to Adoray Home Health and Hospice for joining us for our event!
