Holiday Greetings

Christmas Party 2018
The Holidays generally are a time of celebration and joy, as well as one of reflection as we ponder our resolutions for the New Year. Columbia Cottage has had a great year and many reasons to celebrate! The thing that most of us are thankful for is the privilege that each resident and family provides us in caring for our residents. The residents and families bring us great joy and we appreciate your trust in us and thank you for the continued opportunity to care for our residents. As for our residents and families, we continue to be most thankful for your support, and confidence in our care, for truly the Cottage does not exist without the residents and families who continue to believe in our philosophy and continue to sing our praises in the community. We thank you and feel blessed to have you as part of the cottage family. Additionally, we would like to thank all of our staff for their dedication and hard work. We sincerely appreciate the love and care you provide to our residents and understand what a great job each of you do to make Columbia Cottage a Home and not just “another facility.” We would also like to thank the Home Health Agencies, Hospice Organizations, Reading Labs, Mobile X-ray, and Eucabeth Ouma, CRNP, who bring their services to the cottage, as well as the many physicians and their staff in the local community whom work together with us to provide great care to our residents. We certainly appreciate your collaborative efforts in bringing the residents of Columbia Cottage absolutely fine care. We also wish to thank the many visitors and volunteers who add a ray of sunshine to the residents lives each time they are here visiting. We sincerely believe we have been blessed with a great place to work, and with excellent co-workers. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and A Happy New Year that is filled with an abundance of blessings.

TRICK OR TREAT!

Our beloved Cottage community embraced the spirit of Halloween with a delightful Trick-or-Treat event that brought joy and laughter to all!  On October 19th, our staff members’ children and family members donned their spookiest, silliest, and most creative costumes, transforming our cottage into a whimsical wonderland of treats and smiles. The event kicked off at 2 PM, with excited little ghouls and goblins eagerly making their way to the cottage. The decorations were a sight to behold! The atmosphere was truly festive, with the sweet scent of autumn in the air. Residents lined the hallways, eager to greet the little trick-or-treaters. From witches and superheroes to fluffy animals and classic movie characters, the creativity of the costumes was astounding! Laughter filled the air as residents exchanged jokes and stories with the children while handing out an array of delicious candies and treats. A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated staff who help organize the event and ensured everything ran smoothly. Special thanks to the residents who participated, making this event a memorable one for everyone involved. It was heartwarming to see the joy on both the children’s and residents’ faces—a reminder of the bonds we share in our community. We look forward to more events that bring us together and celebrate the joy of the season. Until next time, keep those spirits high and your costumes ready!

Farmers Market

Trip to the Fairgrounds Farmer’s Market

Last month, a lively group of residents set off for a delightful outing to the local Fairgrounds farmer’s market. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as they explored the vibrant stalls filled with fresh produce, homemade goods, and delicious premade meals. With baskets in hand, our residents wandered through the market, chatting with local vendors and sampling delicious treats. Many enjoyed the opportunity to pick up seasonal fruits and vegetables, while others were thrilled to discover unique handcrafted items, from candy to artwork. The outing not only provided a chance to support local businesses but also fostered connections among neighbors. Laughter and conversation filled the air as everyone shared recommendations and swapped stories about their favorite finds. As the afternoon came to a close, the group returned to the cottage with not just bags full of goodies but also a renewed sense of community spirit. It was a wonderful reminder of the joy that local events can bring, and plans are already in the works for the next community outing!

Bird’s Nest

Recently, at our cottage's front porch, we were greeted by an unexpected sight—a finely crafted bird's nest, meticulously constructed with twigs, moss, and bits of fluff, hidden between the flowers and leaves in a hanging basket.  As we continue to cherish these small encounters with nature, let us strive to create spaces where wildlife can thrive alongside us. May we always find joy and inspiration in the simple wonders that surround us each day.
