Happy New Year!

Singer, Mike Burrell, entertained residents and staff at our New Year's Eve party as we celebrated the start of 2019.  After the residents finished their dinner of lobster and filet mignon there was barely room for the banana flambé and chocolate truffles, but a few found space.  Resident Services Manager, Claire Watson said,  "Another great party with amazing people, I am blessed to be a part of this family."

Residents and staff love getting together over the holidays to celebrate the season and all that it brings.  Staff enjoy being off-duty and able to socialize with the residents at the annual party.  Great food and drinks whilst sharing a few laughs are what the holidays are all about!

Halloween is always a fun time at the community.  Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills residents certainly get into the party spirit and are not afraid to dress up! 

Prizes for the best costumes were awarded, cocktails were mixed and the food was spook-tacular.

Green Thumbs In Their Glory at Ferris Hills

When considering a move to an independent living apartment, some green thumbs wonder if they will have to give up gardening.  At Ferris Hills at West Lake, that couldn’t be further from the truth, and they couldn’t be happier.

In addition using to the senior community’s raised flower and herb beds, many residents fill their patios and balconies with an array of verdant plans, moving them in the winter to an on-site greenhouse.

Mary Bausch is among Ferris Hills’ green thumbs.  While her husband Bob maintains a vegetable garden and a strawberry patch, Mary winters geraniums in the greenhouse and in the past has used the raised beds that Bob and another resident built in Ferris Hills’ woodworking shop. She has also tried growing dahlias, with a little help from a fellow resident.

“I’ve never grown them before, but they’re beautiful, and they’re so abundant,” she says.

Sharing the bounty from his gardens is something Bill McGeary enjoys doing, too. McGeary, a retired Rochester Telephone accountant, moved to Ferris Hills from Honeoye.

A longtime gardener, he decided to try something a little different and planted Yukon Gold potatoes, along with tomatoes and gladiolus.

Sharing his fondness for gardening with other green thumbs is just one reason McGeary is enjoying living at Ferris Hills, where he has found new friends to play golf, poker and euchre with, not to mention the freedom to live life on his terms. “I love it,” he says.
