Thanksgiving Craft Ideas for Seniors | South Port Square
Our resident Charles Brox, was born in 1935 and by the time he was six years old he became aware that his grandfather had a barn of 100 cows, a milk processing plant and a garage to store and repair the trucks. This farm was located in Methuen, Massachusetts.
Charles put together a jigsaw puzzle and framed it in a wooden frame he created. He has put together a Brox farmhouse and hung it outside his apartment door. It takes him down memory lane.
Way to go Charlie!

Why We Were Awarded Best Nursing Home | South Port Square
Our resident Rodney, who is an avid woodcrafter, created several wooden artifacts for his family members keeping up with the family tradition. His wife Nancy always had an ornament for the tree for each family member at the thanksgiving table. So Rodney mailed all the wooden ornaments to his daughter Janine, to set at her thanksgiving table. Several ornaments represented the family members and their names were painted on them.
What a beautiful gesture and a pleasant surprise.
Rodney, you continue to amaze us!
