Glenhaven News Dec. 31-Jan. 6
I don’t know about our readers, but we are tired of this cold weather! It sounds like some relief is in sight. I sure hope so.
We started the week off with Catholic communion on Sunday morning.
On New Year’s Day the residents had the meal they requested of ham, sweet potatoes, cheesy potatoes, and ice cream for dessert. They said it was delicious.
Tuesday morning the activities staff came in and made waffles for breakfast. Light and Lively exercises were also in the morning.
Ashley did hand massages and some manicures early Wednesday, which was followed by our monthly Resident Council meeting, which was very well attended. We discussed the plans for January, which looks pretty calm compared to December, but we have some events we’re going to celebrate, such as National Pizza Week, Peach Melba Day (don’t know what that is exactly, but we’re going to find out), Popeye’s Birthday, National Hat Day, National Clothes Clashing Day, National Peanut Butter Day, and National Corn Chip day. We also celebrate Activity Professionals Week this month. We encourage staff and visitors to participate in any and all our activities as well.
Wednesday afternoon was our ever popular Bingo, this week hosted by the activity department, with the help of Ava Prissel.
Live to be Healthy was well attended on Thursday morning, and a lively game of Uno was played in the afternoon. Ernie and Bev were the big winners.
The girls basketball C squad, along with their Coach, Amy, made beautiful fleece blankets for all the Veterans at the Glenhaven Campus. They came to distribute them and to visit after school on Thursday. The residents and tenants were very appreciative, and the girls seemed to be having some good visits with everyone. Thank You All for your thoughtfulness!
Friday was popcorn day, and Deacon Wes was here for Communion service. We played shuffleboard in the afternoon.
Rich Schroeder was here for music on Saturday.
