There was spooky fun and trick or treating at the Spring Hills Senior Communities locations for Halloween! Here’s a taste of what some of the communities did to celebrate.
Spring Hills Middletown:
On October 25th, dogs and cats in Halloween costumes joined the seniors and their families at Spring Hills Middletown Assisted Living during their annual Halloween and PawFest celebration. Everyone enjoyed carnival-like activities, a “magical” pumpkin patch with pumpkins for the kids to take home, a new Spooky Courtyard Trail designed to be kid-friendly yet Halloween-esque with ghosts, graveyard signs and more. Mr. Cowpies Petting Zoo joined in on the fun with 15 different animals including birds who love to sing along to his goofy songs! The kids and their families had fun trick or treating with the senior residents during the carnival activities. In addition to all of this fun, there was a spider and bat-themed photo booth, face painting and balloon artistry by Looney Balloony. The event benefits the Animal Friends Humane Society and guests were encouraged to bring a donation of pet food.
Spring Hills Singing Woods:
Magic and Trick or Treating go together like family and seniors at Spring Hills Singing Woods Assisted Living’s Fall Harvest Night on October 26. Children came in costume for a spellbinding magic show by Matthew David Stanley. Immediately after the interactive show, trick or treating began! The senior residents left their doors open so all the children knew where to get the best candy. The fun-filled night concluded with Halloween themed refreshments.
Spring Hills Cherry Hill:

The kids paraded through the community’s lobby, Town Center and the dining room. After the parade, they gathered in the recreation room for a game of “Pin the Smile on the Skeleton” and “Wrap the Mummy”, a pumpkin craft and snacks with the residents. First, they went to the Spring Cottage Memory Care Community for trick or treating and a story.
