Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

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!

Recognizing our Shining Star!

Recognizing our Shining Star!

Each year, Thompson Health has a "Shining Star" ceremony for those associates who have been nominated by their peers for exceptional work and abiding by the CARES values.  Winners are chosen by a secret committee.  A number of staff were on hand Tuesday, May 10th for this ceremony.  One of our Nutrition associates, Laura Hillson was surprised and pleased to be honored with her shining star this year! 

"As the lead server and host in the Clark Meadows dining room, Laura is often the first person residents see in the morning, and she never fails to bring sunshine to their day.  She takes the time to ask how they're doing, commits their likes and dislikes to memory, listens intently to their needs and promptly follows up if one has a special order or concern.  She takes pride in training new associates and is a role model to all with her energy, her patience and her take-charge, effervescent personality.  As one associate said, "CARES values?  She has them all."  Congratulations Laura and thank you!
