This Friday is Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚
Juneteenth serves to honor the day—June 19, 1865—that the last group of enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas were notified of their freedom—over 2 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Let us use this day to reflect on history while celebrating the resilience, culture, and freedom of the Black community.
Our offices will be closed Friday, 6/19, and resume normal business hours on Monday, 6/22.
🌈☀️💐 June Birthday Celebration 💐☀️🌈
Each month, our incredible staff and Family Social Network get together to celebrate the amazing residents with upcoming birthdays – making for a night of great food, great fun, and even greater friendship.
We just celebrated 7 residents’ birthdays, one of whom is new to life at IL! 🥳 It was so heartwarming to see them building connections, community, and confidence in real time. We’re so grateful to everyone who steps up to make nights like these so special. 💚

We had the chance to revisit history with @twamflorida at the Time Travel to Florida 1776 festival, celebrating 250 years of America’s story.
Our residents experienced what life looked like for those who came before them, spending the afternoon immersed in the past with reenactments, interactive crafts, dancing, music, and more! As much as we enjoyed our blast to the past, we were happy to end the day with lunch from the modern marvel known to many as Whataburger.
Special thank you to @goodwoodmuseumandgardens for hosting this unforgettable event! 💚
What came first... 🤔🐣
Our Life Skills Coach, Coriann, is constantly using the world around us to teach residents essential skills like patience, responsibility, and compassion.
This afternoon was spent setting up our incubator, where we labeled and placed 6 chicken eggs. Over the next three weeks, we`ll watch the incubator turn and the eggshells soften -- preparing us for the miracle of life.
Stay tuned for updates on these babies! 🥚

Our staff enjoyed an afternoon together at Brush and Palette (@brushandpalettetally) where we put our artistic skills to the test. 🖌️ It was such a satisfying experience to watch everyone’s paintings come together, and reminded us all to slow down and trust the process in our own lives.
To make the day even better, we were treated to a delicious lunch from Jeri’s (@jerisloveonaplate)! The stuffed mushrooms and mini crab cakes were all the rage. 😋
This afternoon would not have been possible without our incredible Executive Director, Barby, who put this outing together for us. She adds color into each of our lives and we are so grateful to work alongside her. 🫶
Swipe to see the expectation vs. reality. 🤣
