Different abilities. Unique talents. Endless possibilities! 💚

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)! At The Baddour Center, we believe meaningful work is about more than a paycheck. It’s about building confidence, discovering talents, and taking pride in a job well done! 💪🌟

This month, we celebrate the incredible abilities of Baddour residents and the importance of giving everyone the opportunity to shine!

During a recent Saturday outing, Baddour residents enjoyed a visit to the Brooks Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the American South! 🖼️✨

With an impressive collection of artwork spanning from ancient times to the present day, there was no shortage of fascinating things to see and discover!

A little art, a little history, and a whole lot of fun! 🎨🤓 A Saturday well spent exploring and discovering something new! 🤗

🐴🍂 We are so thrilled that the fall season of horse therapy has begun again!

There’s something truly special about the connection our residents form with the horses. The trust, confidence, and bond that grow with each visit make this experience so meaningful—and it’s hands down one of their favorite activities! ❤️

We’re looking forward to another wonderful season filled with happy hearts, gentle hooves, and plenty of special moments in the saddle! 🐴🤎🍁

✨ Chicago was definitely a STAR-studded adventure! ⭐️🏙️

Thirty-three Baddour residents and staff members packed their bags and headed to Chicago, Illinois, September 17–20 for an unforgettable McRae STAR Trip!

The annual STAR Trip is a special reward for residents who work hard throughout the year to meet and exceed personalized goals in both their work and personal lives. It’s a fun—and meaningful—way to celebrate their accomplishments while encouraging them to keep reaching for new goals! 💚

And Chicago certainly gave us plenty to celebrate!

🍝 Dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy
🏙️ A visit to “The Bean” and Millennium Park
🛍️ Shopping and dining at Woodfield Mall
🥩 Dinner at Chandler’s Chophouse
🐠 An adventure at the Shedd Aquarium
🚢 And the perfect finale—a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan complete with dinner, dancing, a DJ, and incredible views of the Chicago skyline!

By Sunday, everyone headed home with full hearts, full camera rolls, and plenty of stories to tell. 📸❤️

We are incredibly grateful to the McRae Foundation for making this special experience possible year after year and for helping us celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our residents.

Way to go, STARs! ⭐️ Chicago looks good on you! 🏙️💚

💚 Homecoming Saturday was all about family, fellowship, and celebrating the heart of Baddour!

The day was packed with special moments, including wonderful performances by The Miracles 🎶 and two of our talented puppetry groups 🎭, along with an inspiring message from our Chaplain.

Our program teams also took the stage to share some of the exciting things happening across Baddour, giving families a glimpse into all the growth, opportunities, and FUN taking place throughout our community! Our CEO and Chairman of the Board also shared an exciting look at Baddour’s Master Plan and what’s ahead for our campus.

But the best part? Simply being together. 💚
