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!

A visit with Bruce Smoller, MD, certified educator for both the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust and the Wine Scholar Guild

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!

Life Continues at Ferris Hills

Covid-19 has certainly thrown the world off track and we are all trying to adapt to a new (temporary) normal.  Ferris Hills is no different.  There is a different pace of life, but that does not mean it has all stopped.

Our community in-house channel has kept staff in communication with residents on a daily basis.  Residents are joining in with trivia, puzzles and competitions via paper submission with prizes being won.   Some have established new pen-pals with local children and students, others have worked on old hobbies.  Staff have helped set up Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls with family and friends which has been a great education along with raising spirits. 

The Fitness Center is open for individual use, residents are taking advantage of the community trail, and a daily exercise program and stretch class are broadcasted to resident's apartments.  There is no excuse to stay still!

Although the dining room is closed the kitchen is open with the full menu and specials being offered for lunch and dinner with room service delivery.  Instacart is being utilized for grocery needs and our own driver is running errands along with family members to keep our residents out of the danger zone. 

We are looking forward to being together with family and friends, but know at the moment we are safer apart.  Remember we are one day closer to being back to normal.  Stay safe!
