Celebrating The Hearts Of Our Community:
Country Manor Valentine's Day
Our hearts are full after such an incredible Valentine's Day celebration! Residents were pampered by our amazing Salon team before stepping in front of the camera for portraits, and each guest received a beautiful rose courtesy of AARP and Sartell Public Safety. K9 Kimber was an undeniable crowd favorite, of course!
We loved welcoming Kids Country and watching generations connect — laughing, playing, and making memories together. The Eyeclick interactive projector, made possible by the Country Manor Foundation, kept the fun moving all afternoon.
The turnout was immense. The smiles were contagious. The joy was real.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, volunteered, donated, and made this event so meaningful. What a gift it is to celebrate together.

![Music has filled the halls of Country Manor for decades thanks to Lisa Weber — bringing comfort, joy, and sometimes even a moment of magic.
Lisa first joined our team in June of 1999, after answering a simple newspaper ad. What followed was 26 years of sharing her gift with residents, from birthday celebrations and weekly performances to quiet, meaningful moments at residents’ bedsides at the end of their lives.
“My specialty is playing for people who are transitioning...” Lisa shared. “I try to play THEIR songs.”
One moment that has always stayed with her happened while playing for a resident who hadn’t moved or spoken in nearly a full day.
“I started playing polkas - because that’s what she loved. Her hands shot straight up in the air, and she started clapping.”
During the height of COVID, when residents were isolated in their rooms, Lisa performed personalized virtual concerts, singing residents’ favorite songs over video calls so they could still feel connection and comfort.
Through it all, Lisa says one belief has always guided her:
“Through music, you can reach almost anyone.”
Residents, families, and staff have all felt the impact of Lisa’s kindness and music over the years.
While she may be officially retiring, we’re grateful she’ll still return as a regular guest musician to continue sharing her gift with residents.
❤️ Please join us in congratulating Lisa and celebrating her incredible 26 years at Country Manor!
If Lisa’s music has ever brightened your day or touched your family’s life, we’d love to hear your memories in the comments.]()

![Our hearts are full after such an incredible Valentine's Day celebration!
Residents were pampered by our amazing Salon team before stepping in front of the camera for portraits, and each guest received a beautiful rose courtesy of AARP and Sartell Public Safety. K9 Kimber was an undeniable crowd favorite, of course!
We loved welcoming Kids Country and watching generations connect — laughing, playing, and making memories together. The Eyeclick interactive projector, made possible by the Country Manor Foundation, kept the fun moving all afternoon.
The turnout was immense. The smiles were contagious. The joy was real.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, volunteered, donated, and made this event so meaningful. What a gift it is to celebrate together. ❤️ @aarp @wishofalifetime @spd.kimber @kidscountrymn]()
