After several residents came to me today asking about a particular menu item, I felt compelled to check it out.  Coconut Zoodle Soup sounds nice, right?  Dan Cobb was very busy preparing for the evening meal, but took the time to let me have a taste.  Refreshing coconut, chicken broth, lemon, cilantro, zucchini noodles, and a hint of curry paste are some of the flavors all working together making a delicious soup that is so appropriate for this breezy summer day!  I could go on and on about the amazing talent in the Ferris Hills/Clark Meadows kitchen, but today it's all about Dan Cobb and his Coconut Zoodle Soup!

Today we celebrated those who serve our residents with the greatest of care.  Our team of PCA's are the very best!  Several of our residents volunteered to serve ice cream to those who serve us.  This time, the PCA's were served and we served them first!  We honored them with special testimonials written by the residents along with artwork, and poetry.  Beth presented them each with certificates and they even paused to help a resident down the stairs making the moment even more special.  How fortunate we are to have this amazing team of care givers!

Dr. Smoller shared his passon for teaching about wine with Clark Meadows.  Our residents were enthusiastic participants as Bruce regaled us with his knowledge on wines from France and the various regions that produce the grapes that make the different varietals. It was a real treat for our residents and the staff were quite jealous.  The picture of Terry and myself was posed.  We did not imbibe!

Music History class with Katherine!

Katherine McGrath, MT-BC, is our music therapist at the community and she has recently begun a six part course on music history. From the Medieval period to the present day, Katherine recently held a class on the Baroque period. The music of Bach and Vivaldi were highlighted.  During these classes, residents are learning about the historical and political climate of the day, as well as how the art of the period all relate to music.  Future classes will touch on the Classical period with the music of Mozart and Beethoven.  According to Katherine, a "fan favorite" is the Romantic period which is remembered as the Waltz period with music from Chopin and Brahms.  As she moves towards the present day, the Impressionist period,or Jazz will be discussed, the Counter Culture period (60's) and finally the music of today will wrap up this course.

In addition to teaching music history classes, Katherine can be seen hosting musical trivia, facilitating drum circles, leading singalongs,employing music for mindfulness exercises, and also utilizing music to help process grief and/or spiritual needs in both group and individual settings.  Katherine's motto is empowerment through creativity!
