Glenhaven Happenings – 12-20-2017
Glenhaven News Dec. 10th-16th
To start off the busy week at Glenhaven, the Forest Timberwolves came to visit. They started out at Havenwood and Grand Oaks where they frosted Christmas cookies with them which they enjoyed! Then the busy group made their way upstairs where they played bingo and sang some Christmas carols to the residents, they said they sounded great. After all that excitement took place Christ the King came for church service. If that didn’t seem busy enough for a Sunday afternoon the Mennonites came after supper and sang some beautiful hymns. Everyone here at Glenhaven looks forward to them coming. They will be back again next month.
Monday was a little more relaxed around here. The ladies started off their morning getting manicures done by the activity department. Then later in the afternoon we had baking club, the residents decided to make date pinwheels and peanut butter blossoms. From now until December 20th we will be baking all sorts of Christmas goodies for the resident and their families Christmas party.
There was a church service with Holy Cross lead by Pastor Jonathan on Tuesday morning. Following the church service Live to be Healthy came, and the residents had a great session with Steve. Later in the afternoon Carol Schmidt and her cute Papillons came to visit us. The puppies were dressed up in their Christmas outfits looking very festive for the holidays. Some residents had their pictures taken with them and then after they put on a show for them. Thank you for coming Carol and the pups, the residents and staff always enjoy having you.
On Wednesday we got together and played the weekly game of bingo, which is everyone’s favorite.
Thursday morning started our day off right by exercising with Live to be Healthy. In the afternoon the resident decided they would like to play a few rounds of Mexican train dominoes. This particular game seems to be a few of the residents’ favorite so we try to play it at least once a month if not more.
We wound down our week with the activity department making popcorn for everyone here at Glenhaven. Later on in the day the residents relaxed and watched a Christmas movie of their choice. On Saturday afternoon Rudy Rudesill came to perform. Everyone thought he did a great job, thank you for coming!
