The week of July 10 had the dining room filled with the delicious aroma of cupcakes baking in the oven during Baking Buddies—Making Homemade Cupcakes. These will be used for the monthly birthday party in a couple days. In celebration of National Kitten Day, Activity Director Jenna Sizemore brought in her kitten, Zane, for all the residents to pet after lunch. While many were brave enough to hold the adventurous kitten, others enjoyed Zane from afar. Several thought it was funny to have a cat on a leash like a dog, but it actually worked quite well. The afternoon concluded with Candy BINGO, which the residents loved the large choice of individually wrapped candy prizes.

While visiting the Wall that Heals mobile display in Eureka, residents were educated on the war, how the wall came about, and some stories passed down with different relics of items that were left at the Wall. Thank you to all our great veterans who have served our country in all our armed forces throughout the years.
Resident John Crumrine enjoyed the replica of the Wall that Heals along with Director of Nursing Penny Maher and her children. This historical, patriot outing was extra special to one resident who found a family member’s name on the wall and penciled over the name for it to be imprinted onto a piece of paper. What a special memory!
It was very exciting when the new furniture was brought into the beautifully remodeled lobby. While there are a few more small construction details to finish up and additional décor to be added, the residents and their families are starting to enjoy the wonderful benefit of this huge remodeling project.
