Last Friday, Ernest Hemingway, portrayed by John Dennis Anderson of Greenville Chautauqua: History Comes Alive, visited campus. Residents explored how the author transformed American writing with his direct, no-nonsense style, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature. His life of bullfighting, womanizing, drinking and hunting was as rebellious as his prose. Thanks for sharing, Ernest!

Today we received a beautiful dusting of snow — and had no power putages with this bout of winter weather!

Our dedicated and hardworking team kept things running beautifully during today’s winter weather. And between caring for residents some were even able to get outside to enjoy the snowfall — like these members of Heather Glen’s team who took turns sledding. We love when nature shows off, and even those who stayed inside enjoyed watching the snow.
