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!

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!
