To honor our Veterans this year, we celebrated with a Red White and Blue themed luncheon, followed by an amazing performance by Chris Darin! Thank you to all our brave Veterans!
Halloween Happenings!
Our talented staff competed to win the prize for the best pumpkin! The residents had a challenging time voting for just one! In the end, everyone was a winner, and we are all looking forward to next year’s challenge! Everyone had a blast giving candy out to the Trick or Treaters that stopped by. The residents had so much fun seeing the kids decked out in their Halloween costumes. We had Elmo, Bumble Bees, Super Mario and a Princess stop by, just to name a few!
Craft Corner!
A big shout out to our crafty volunteer Deb McCoy. Deb has done some amazing crafts with our residents every week! Residents enjoyed painting pumpkins, stuffing the Cottage scarecrow and dabbling in some sand art. Everyone looks forward to Deb’s weekly craft corner activity!
Craft Corner
Our crafty cottage volunteer gathered the ladies for an afternoon of stamp art. Everyone’s pictures came out beautifully!
Kona Ice Truck
Summer came to an end with a sweet treat for our staff and residents. . . courtesy of Caring Hospice, everyone was able to end the summer and cool off with their favorite flavor of shaved ice.
Crazy for Cocoa!
The Cottage celebrated Milton Hershey’s birthday by eating chocolate of course! The residents tasted different types of chocolates from milk chocolate, to raspberry, caramel and white chocolate. I think everyone agreed. . there wasn’t one bad bite!
Oktoberfest
The best way to kick off the fall season is with our very own OKTOBERFEST! Residents enjoyed a German feast for lunch and then joined us in the beer garden for beer and soft pretzels. Prost!!
Painting with Plants
Our amazing volunteer Deb has been spending time creating crafts with the residents. Everyone painted their own terracotta pot and then the following week, planted ivy seeds. . . now we will watch them grow!
Music and Memories
The residents had a wonderful time listening to the 50’s and 60’s songs from the past with the talented singer Chris Darin! The residents were moving and grooving while singing along to their favorite tunes.
Just Peachy!
There is nothing better then ending the end of summer with some cold cocktails, especially the new favorite drink – Peach Moscato. We are ending the summer on a fruity note and looking forward to see what new delicious cocktails fall will bring!
Thriving with Therapy
Meet our amazing therapists Amy and Gabby. They are our physical and occupational therapists from REHAB 1. Both these lovely ladies, work with our residents to increase their muscle strength, improve mobility and stamina, improve balance, and prevent falls as well as improve cognition and coordination thus allowing our residents to do more for themselves each day.
