"Wear it Pink" is an annual event that invites people to wear pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness and research.  Ferris Hills marked the day with a Ladies' Tea.

After several residents came to me today asking about a particular menu item, I felt compelled to check it out.  Coconut Zoodle Soup sounds nice, right?  Dan Cobb was very busy preparing for the evening meal, but took the time to let me have a taste.  Refreshing coconut, chicken broth, lemon, cilantro, zucchini noodles, and a hint of curry paste are some of the flavors all working together making a delicious soup that is so appropriate for this breezy summer day!  I could go on and on about the amazing talent in the Ferris Hills/Clark Meadows kitchen, but today it's all about Dan Cobb and his Coconut Zoodle Soup!

Jockey Claire was also Bartender Claire for this fun event!  Mint Juleps, wine, sodas, and beer were served with pulled pork sandwiches and deviled eggs.  As tradition would have it, we all sang "My Old Kentucky Home," and as I began to describe the events of our own version of this time honored horse race, a last minute entry was announced and in trotted Claire mounted on her trusty steed.  The crowd went wild and the party began with laughter and fun!

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!
