Skating, Smiles, and City Lights
On December 6, 2025, the boys from Legacy Residential Homes enjoyed a memorable winter outing to the UC Health Ice Rink at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati.
Staff and residents shared in the excitement, celebrating effort over perfection and cheering one another on.
The outing provided a positive opportunity for physical activity, confidence-building, and connection—all in the heart of the city.
It was an uplifting experience and a great reminder of the joy that comes from shared moments and new experiences.
Honoring Hearts & Hard Work
Legacy Residential Homes gathered at The Enchanted Rose for a special Appreciation Luncheon honoring both staff and residents.
The event was a meaningful opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate the dedication, growth, and positive contributions that make our community strong.
Awards were presented to recognize hard work, perseverance, and everyday acts of kindness.
The luncheon served as a heartfelt reminder that at LRH, every individual’s efforts matter and are deeply valued.
