Riverside Invites Families to Trick or Treat with Residents

October 27, 2025

Riverside Health Care is once again welcoming local trick-or-treaters into our long-term care homes this Halloween!

On Friday, October 31, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., children and families are invited to stop by Rainycrest Long Term Care Home, Rainy River Health Centre, and Emo Health Centre to share in the fun and bring a little Halloween magic to our residents.

For many residents, this annual event is one of the highlights of the year. A joyful opportunity to see the smiles, excitement, and creativity of the community’s youngest members dressed in their Halloween best. The laughter and energy that fill our halls create a festive atmosphere, reminding everyone how meaningful these moments can be.

Families are encouraged to include our residents in their trick-or-treating plans this year. Candy and goodies will be available at each location, and visitors are invited to bring their Halloween spirit, colourful costumes, and plenty of smiles to share.

This cherished tradition reflects Riverside’s ongoing commitment to connection, community, and belonging within our Homes across the district. Each year, it brings joy to residents and families alike - a reminder that even the smallest gestures, like a visit, a costume, or a handful of candy, can create moments that last well beyond Halloween night.
