Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

Soup's On!

All Delicious and All Homemade by Our Staff!

The Clark Meadows/Ferris Hills Kitchen staff set a high bar in the culnary department.  They provide an excellent menu offering healthy delicious meals every day.   In an effort to change things up a bit, the staff who do not work in the kitchen wanted to share some of their soup recipes with our residents.  The residents were eager to taste and we were honored to have our head chef, Tony Cafarelli, sous chef, Dan Cobb, and long-time dining associate, Brittni Hewitt, come in at the end to critique our soups.  They gave us all gold stars!  The Soup Bar Lunch included Melissa's Tomato, Basil & Orzo soup, Beth's Butternut Squash, Kristen's Black Bean, Claire's Steak & Potato, Dave's Pasta Fagioli, Rebecca's Meatball Stew w/Orzo & White Beans, and Jenn's Stuffed Pepper Soup.  Thank you all for helping with this Soup Bar lunch special. It was a success!

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.!
