The sound of hooves crunching in the snow, the jingle of harnesses, the bugling of the elk, and the laughter of residents created a symphony of joy that echoed through the refuge.

Residents were delighted as they rode through the middle of the massive elk herd. The experience provided an opportunity for residents to connect with nature, fostering a sense of tranquility and awe.

The Homestead Senior Living has long recognized the importance of providing not just care but also enriching experiences for its residents. The wagon ride through the elk refuge is part of a broader initiative to create a vibrant and engaging living environment that enhances the quality of life for all residents.

A resident at The Homestead Senior Living, expressed her gratitude for the outing, saying, “It was like a dream. I’ve visited Jackson Hole for many years, but seeing the elk up close in such a serene setting was truly special. I can’t thank the staff enough for making this happen.”
