We had the opportunity of a lifetime during Assisted Living Week to hold a baby kangaroo! Thank you to Rehab 1 for sponsoring this fun event and Aldinger Farms for bringing two baby kangaroos to visit our residents. Isla was the oldest kangaroo at 9 months old and the 2nd kangaroo was 6 months old and still waiting to be named. Our residents and staff recommended naming the baby kangaroo “CC” short for Columbia Cottage.
As we approach the holidays, Columbia Cottage would like to remind our residents that while we appreciate your kindness and generosity, staff are not permitted to accept gifts from residents or their families. If you would like to share some holiday spirit you can donate to the employee fund which benefits all staff. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Fall has arrived and with-it seasonal snacks. We enjoyed making a caramel sauce for our apple slices.
We celebrated the change of seasons with treats of cotton candy, popcorn, carnival games, snow cones and our annual water balloon battle! Staff, Residents, Families, and Friends of the Cottage came prepared to get wet on a Friday afternoon. Water balloons and water guns were filled and refilled with water as we splashed around and popped the water balloons on each other. The best part was ending the afternoon with dumping buckets of water on Lawrence and John!
