There is no better feeling than being able to be there when families see their loved ones for the first time in six months! The first week of family outdoor visits was an emotional and happy success! β€οΈ
What do you give the associates who have been essential workers for the past six months? Socks fit for heroes of course!
Today we had our very first Outdoor Family Visit! The happiness on Kathy's face when she saw that she got to visit with her daughter Cindy and grandson Mitchell for the first time in 6 months melted hearts!
Some of the girls wanted to get creative and do some painting!πΌπ¨
Help us give a huge welcome to Joan, she joined us today. She loves birds, Elvis, chocolate, and helping out. We look forward to fun times with her.
Conni and Veronica decided they needed to paint rocks to hide outside for others to find and smile!
We want to say thank you to all the veterans today, especially those that we get the pleasure of seeing every day. We thank you for your service, sacrifices, and for being our heroes, we appreciate all of you.
Chuck had a huge day yesterday for his 98th Birthday!! He got to have an outside visit with his son & daughter-in-law and his daughter on facetime. Chuck made a wish and blew out the candles, although we think he liked the cake the most! Happy 98th Birthday Chuck!!!
Please help us wish Lily a very Happy 95th Birthday today! According to her, she is 1000 years old today and only feels 22yrs old! π π
This year has been a very challenging one, to say the least, but we are happy to say that our first Covid Vaccine Clinic went well. Monica was happy to be the first employee at the building to get her vaccine! Thank you to our Nurse Iretta, CVS, the residents, families, and all the staff for making today go so smoothly. #BrookdaleHope
Merry Christmas 2020 version! The staff and residents had decided that when we were younger we would spend the entire day in our cozy Christmas pajamas while we open our gifts, so we did just that! The families all sent us new Christmas pajamas for their loved ones and the staff ordered some online, we all had a great time sharing our different patterns and prints of jammies. We hope next year we will all be home together for Christmas! π π
The building is getting into the spirit of Christmas !π
Itβs starting to look like Christmas! Lily was a huge help letting Veronica know she was doing a good job! After the long night, she decided it was time to enjoy a Christmas concert!π
