Today at Corning ...Center we had an outing for a couple of our book 📚 lovers. There is something about going to Barnes & Nobles and having the opportunity to search through the variety of books 📖 when your favorite hobby is reading.
I am glad we could make this happen for these two ladies and that they really enjoyed themselves. ☺️
Ladies found our ...New “Ladies Enlightenment Club” was something that they needed. A safe area where ladies can open up and get to know each other on a deeper level.
This Club gives them time to express how their life has changed from being in the community to needing therapy or long term care in a Skilled Nursing Facility.
As employees we empathize with residents but we return to our home life at the end of our shift while residents depend on the staff to assist them when they are used to being independent. They don’t have their pets, friend/family has resorted to occasional visits due to distance, and the desire for companionship seem to have came to a halt and many times they are left feeling alone and thinking 💭 no one understands.
This Club has opened the door to expression and boy we all have a lot to share 🫂 including a lot of laughter 🤭 while having Hot Tea 🫖 and pastries 🥮. The Best part is they asked when the next meeting 📆 was because they felt it was a positive experience and just what they needed. 🥰
We are going to need more hats!!👒 😂

Soon we will be ...saying goodbye to April and National Stress Awareness Month. We hope that your month has been a little less stressful and as warmer weather approaches the days will only get better. ☀️ 🏕️ 🏝️ Summer Fun Days🤩 Ahead!!!
Yesterday, April 23... was a fun 🤩 filled day. We started off with celebrating 🙌🏽 Shirley Temple with chocolate 🍫 chip cookies (sense we could not get her favorite chocolate cake baked by her mother) and virgin Shirley Temples. 💕
Followed by our afternoon event National Cherry 🍒 Cheesecake Day… now that event really brought a crowd. ❤️ I have realized there sweet spots, fruited 🍒🍓🫐 cheesecake and ice cream 🍦. 🥰
As a Recreation Director it’s exciting when you have large crowds of residents attending programs/special events. It means that you’re on the right track. 😅
Big Thank You 🙏🏼 to Cindy Backer and Racheal Fitzwater (Recreation Staff) for their hard work Wednesdays as it was a busy day. And a Big Thank You 🙏🏼 to all the staff that assisted with getting residents down to the Cherry 🍒 Cheesecake event. It very much appreciated by all in Recreation.
