The 10th Annual Chef & Sip Challenge was held yesterday at the Hotel Canandaigua. It was presented by the Canandaigua Kiwanis Club.  

Our Chefs, Daniel Cobb and Julie Woloson offered up Yankee Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes garnished with puff pastry/carmalized onion & chive.  It was a feast for the senses and they came home with the prize of Most Creative!  Congratulations to these talented chefs!

Lots of familiar faces in the photos.  You will see some of our wait staff, Matt Pelton and Kaylee White, out enjoying the day along with retired Executive Director, Aimee Ward. The venue was beautiful, the competition was fierce, but there was great camaraderie among the many talented chefs.  There is so much talent in this region of the Finger Lakes and we are fortunate to have some of that talent right here at Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows.

In these pictures you can see a flurry of activity in Rayburn Hall as we prepared for our annual Holiday Dinner Extravaganza.  The centerpieces were made from foraging in the woods.  Residents got together and did all the arranging.  The invitations were sent out, our chefs were busy planning and preparing, and the staff helped arrange and set the tables.  The parties have begun.  Each floor has their own private dinner in the great hall.  It is an opportunity to give thanks and to spend time with neighbors and friends.

Life Continues at Ferris Hills

Life Continues at Ferris Hills

Covid-19 has certainly thrown the world off track and we are all trying to adapt to a new (temporary) normal.  Ferris Hills is no different.  There is a different pace of life, but that does not mean it has all stopped.

Our community in-house channel has kept staff in communication with residents on a daily basis.  Residents are joining in with trivia, puzzles and competitions via paper submission with prizes being won.   Some have established new pen-pals with local children and students, others have worked on old hobbies.  Staff have helped set up Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls with family and friends which has been a great education along with raising spirits. 

The Fitness Center is open for individual use, residents are taking advantage of the community trail, and a daily exercise program and stretch class are broadcasted to resident's apartments.  There is no excuse to stay still!

Although the dining room is closed the kitchen is open with the full menu and specials being offered for lunch and dinner with room service delivery.  Instacart is being utilized for grocery needs and our own driver is running errands along with family members to keep our residents out of the danger zone. 

We are looking forward to being together with family and friends, but know at the moment we are safer apart.  Remember we are one day closer to being back to normal.  Stay safe!
