Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

KristenMeyer 0 6669

So, I'm telling tails out of school.  Our residents often get chatting in the living room about ideas for our socials.  One of our residents thought it might be fun to do unusual food pairings.  They didn't expect us to actually follow through.  When our Program Manager came into the living room with a bag of Baby Ruth Bars and a squeeze bottle of mustard they were astounded!  I came on the scene late wondering what they were all laughing about.  Everyone was giving it a go and enjoying the strange combination of sweet and spicy.  That was just the beginning.  Our Nurse Coordinator said, "game on" and she proposed the following week that we try pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!  The next week our Case Manager suggested doritos and ice cream!  Today, before our happy hour Melissa served up ice cream with wine and fruit!  Rave reviews all around the room!

Going above and beyond during National Assisted Living Week!

The final presentation during the National Assisted Living week was a "heartfelt" one on our heart day here at Clark Meadows.  We had recognized staff, and our program manager, and now it was time to recognize eight of our residents for the help that they offer to us and other residents.  Presented by Jody Wilbur....

" We have four men and 4 women who have gone above and  beyond to help make our assisted living experience the best it can be.  They've shown kindness, patience, and consideration for their neighbors and for the staff.  These folks have helped with managing the book cart, creating some of our programming, acting as ambassadors, helped with happy hours by singing, smiling and encouraging.  They help other residents by engaging them with fun conversation with jokes, laughter and singing.  The list goes on and on.  Your positivity and participation fulfill our lives and we thank you."

Thank you Mary, Bev, Margaret, Jane, Sam, Al G., Joe and Al J.!
