At Deseret Health and Rehab, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental and psychological well-being of each resident.
Reverend Young offered a memorial service on Tuesday afternoon for long-time resident, Jeanette Baker. It was attended by family members, residents, visitors, and staff. Reverend Young emphasized how Jeanette was so much a part of this facility, and she will be missed by all. Her concern for all residents and staff, as well as her welcoming smile, made us all feel like a family.
