Weird Food Pairings?!

Wine, fruit, juice, ice cream! YUM!

KristenMeyer 0 7820

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!

Senior community staff acknowledged on National Assisted Living Week

It was Thursday afternoon about 2:45 pm and the staff in the entire community were called to Clark Meadows for another presentation.  Standing socially distanced along with many residents, the following was presented by Jody Wilbur, Lifestyle Coordinator.

"During these trying times over the past 6 months, the team....our staff, has been outstanding.  Keeping all of us out of harms way with safety precautions, sanitizers, masks, locked doors, etc.  They have shown us kindness, patience, humor and love.  This is National Assisted Living Week and there is no greater staff or group of friends than what we have here at Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills.  Today is heart day and as poet Maya Angelou once said, " I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."  The real heroes are all around us here today.  You all deserve a heart award today.  You are our heroes and we thank you for all you do for us."

Each staff person then received a heart award for 2020 from Margaret or Al; two of our residents at Clark Meadows.  A special afternoon for all!
