NATIONAL SCRABBLE DAY Today we are playing "SCRABBLE" with a few words that make our facility a special home to place your loved one. CARE (6 points): When you are choosing a facility for your loved one, care is the number one thing you are concerned about; right? Look no further. The care of your loved one is our number one priority.... HOME (9 points): After being settled into one place for many years, it can be difficult for a loved one to come to the realization that long-term care is necessary. Our facility strives to create a home like experience for your loved one from the cooked meals, new friends, ongoing activities, and more. THERAPY (15 points): Our facility offers Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. These therapies are available for our short-term and long-term residents as needed. HOSPICE (14 points): Hospice care is a specialized service designed to help families cope with life-limiting illnesses. The intent of hospice care is to provide comfort and support to the resident and family members. Our facility works with many local hospices to create the most comforting experience. REHABILITATION (19 POINTS): When coming to our facility for a Short-Term Rehabilitation stay it is our goal to restore an individual to health or normal life through training and therapy after illness, injury, etc. NURSING (8 POINTS): Nursing is the heart of our facility. We employ Nurses' Aides, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Registered Nurses. Each nurse has an important role in your loved one's care. RESPITE (9 POINTS): Respite care is a short-term stay at a skilled nursing facility. A respite stay is often suggested for seniors who are recovering from a hospital visit or another health circumstance. It’s also available when a caregiver takes an extended vacation or for a nursing facility trial period. ACTIVITIES (15 POINTS): A lot of people do not realize the importance of activities in nursing facilities. The purpose of our activity staff is to improve the quality of life for our residents. Activities help a resident realize that they are not alone, and that there are others in their same situation. Activities benefit our residents psychologically, socially, spiritually, and physically. #scrabble #nationalscrabbleday #longtermcare #shortermcare #skillednursingfacility

And even if we have to be apart, know that you are in our heart! . . . May your holidays be filled with Happiness, Health, Good Cheer, and Family!

We are feeling thankful for a community who has stood by us, residents’ family members who continue to stay connected, staff who has given their all day in and out, and our residents who through out this year still manage to put a smile on their faces. . . . We are wishing you all a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Over the past few months, our activities department has been trying to find fun, creative, new, and uplifting activities for our residents to engage in, all while we remain compliant with COVID-19 guidelines and precautions. The residents safety and health has been our #1 priority, secondary to lifting their spirits during such an unprecedented time. With that being said, we thought that this would be the perfect time to attempt a social distancing theatrical play. We propo...sed the idea to our team as well as the residents and the idea took off! We developed a small cast, prop designers, brain stormers, song writers, costume designers, and stage designers. The residents thoroughly enjoyed this project and showed great dedication throughout the four month process. The play was recorded so that friends and family could watch the show as well. We hope you enjoy our rendition of Mary Poppins!
