Here is a personal thank you and a video of the Field of Future during Harvest. So much to be thankful for!!! 

The sound of music

We are very fortunate to have so much entertainment. There is always people from the community coming to share their talents with us! Its always amazing to me the power that music has, no matter the disability or the level of dementia music can unlock memories and bring so much happiness! 

While dancing from a wheel chair a resident said "my dad would be laughing his head off, he was such a good dancer! And ohhhh you should have seen my mom dance!" 

She always talks of the day's her mom and dad would move the furniture in the dining room and they would salt the floor and have the neighbours come over to dance the night away.

"I love Lucy"

Our dog Lucy is the sweetest ever! She loves all of her grama and gramapas so much I think the feeling is mutual! 

   

They are back!!!!

We are so thrilled to welcome Mrs. Jones's kindergarten class from king George! It is the start of our 2nd year of our inter generational class called the "infinity program" every Tuesday these little ones will be in our house      

 

Soup for the soul

Our fall weather has been horrible so we got a group together to make 2 different kinds of soup! Our house smelt amazing!! The bacon potatoe corn chowder won first place 

 

   

Smart board

Using our smart board is so exciting the possibilities are endless!!
 

 

 

Bowling

It was a great morning with so many residents in the lounge bowling. It is always the best to see how something so simple as getting a strike can bring such happiness!!

 

     

Fall art gala

Our 2016 art gala was a success!!! The art was amazing this year!!! It is always an event that makes me so emotional I love when people from the community see the beauty in our residents that we see all the time. Every year people leave with treasured art work and treasured memories!! 

 

 

   

Ladies Club
