Our residents enjoyed a fun game of Cup Knockdown on Thursday! Just a fun-filled week all around, with lots of laughs and smiles!

New Games, New Memories! Our residents have had so much fun learning some new games this week! On Tuesday, we took on the Cup Challenge, and then on Thursday, we learned a new game called Goblet Reserve. For Goblet Reserve, a ball was tied to the end of a pool noodle with yarn, and residents had to swing the noodle back and forth, using the ball to knock cups off the table! There were lots of laughs, smiles, and friendly competition throughout the game. It was wonderful seeing everyone having fun, trying something new, and enjoying time together! We can’t wait to see what game we learn next!

Residents enjoyed a fun game of bowling. Congratulations Shirley on the win of Strike Champ this week.

Cup Challenge Fun! Yesterday, our tenants had a blast learning a new game called “Cup Challenge!” Think musical chairs—but with cups at the table! We started with 10 residents and 9 cups. The challenge was simple: I called out different movements like “touch your head,” “touch your shoulders,” “twirl your arms,” and more. But when I shouted “CUPS!” everyone had to quickly reach for a cup! The resident left without a cup stepped away from the table, and the competition continued. It all came down to our final two competitors, Betty and Harvie! When “CUPS!” was called, Harvie was the fastest and took the win! Congratulations, Harvie! It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, excitement, and lots of fun. We’re already looking forward to playing the Cup Challenge again!

Yesterday, our residents gathered their passports and set off on a wonderful tour of Italy—without ever leaving home! Along the way, we enjoyed the beautiful sights and scenery of Italy, taking in all the sights our journey had to offer. And of course, what is a trip to Italy without a little wine? Pair that with delicious cheese and meats, and we had all the makings of a perfect Italian adventure! It was a fun-filled day of exploring, tasting, laughing, and making wonderful memories together. We may not have traveled across the ocean, but our residents certainly got to experience a little taste of Italy! Arrivederci, Italy! Until our next adventure!

Residents were in full swing on Tuesday with a fun game of noodle ball. There were plenty of laughs, smiles, and lots of determination as everyone tried to be the first to hit the balloon. The friendly competition kept everyone moving, cheering, and having a great time! Laughter was definitely in full swing, and we loved every minute of it!

There’s just something special about having pets come into the facility that instantly brightens everyone’s day! MEC Mandy brought Dolly in to spread some joy and visit with everyone. Our residents absolutely loved seeing her zoom through the facility, bring smiles to faces, and even jump up into their laps for some extra cuddles. Thank you, Mandy, for sharing Dolly’s sweet spirit with us! She certainly brought a little extra sunshine to everyone’s day.

Today, the ladies enjoyed some well-deserved pampering with manicures and margaritas, all while spending time socializing and enjoying each other’s company! A little self-care, a lot of smiles, and plenty of fun! Cheers to a wonderful day together!

On Friday we got to celebrate this beautiful lady's birthday. We hope you had a wonderful 84th Birthday Elaine.
