The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

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.!
