CelebratewithussignWith St. Patrick’s Day just days away, Living in Chico we want to make sure that you are staying safe with your plans to celebrate the holiday. The majority of people who live in Chico know the party mentality that is found in our cute little town. Here are a few tips to help you stay safe this St. Patty’s Day.

Unfortunately, with the high amounts of alcohol that is consumed there is also a higher risk of being in a drunk driving accident. One of the best ways to avoid not only the downtown drinking scene, but to avoid the road all together is to celebrate in your home. Here are a couple options for you to stay at home but still have fun!

Caring Community Events

For our Living in Chico residents, you have different events happening at the various properties that have Care Teams. Whether it be enjoying a potato bar or cheeseburger, find out when your event is to join in on the fun.

If you don’t live at one of our properties that have Care Teams, this is something that you would love if you lived at one. We have Care Teams at 6 of our properties that coordinate events for residents to help build community by focusing on nurturing the relationships of the residents. These events vary from fondue, potato bar, to bingo night. If this is something that interests you, then check out our properties!
