On Tuesday morning, Pastor Arlen Hughes offered Bible study to five residents.

On Tuesday afternoon, eight residents attended Resident Council with the state surveyors, discussing concerns about living at the facility. The state surveyors concluded their three day survey on Thursday morning, giving us a good survey with no deficiencies in quality of care or quality of life.

On Wednesday morning, six residents had their hair done, and seven residents had their finger nails done by Merlynn Hopes, Kathy McMorrow, Georgia Schroer and Janice Kerpan.

Thursday afternoon, 11 residents watched Christi Wallace, Kathy McMorrow’s daughter from Maui in Hawaii, make various shapes with balloons. It was fascinating to watch her making them. She is quite talented. Kathy McMorrow served cupcakes too.

On Saturday afternoon, residents enjoyed the Ice Cream Social.

We greatly appreciate the continued support of our volunteers throughout the week. Anyone wishing to become a volunteer, please contact Tom Mansfield, Activity Director, at the facility.
