We invited family to join us for a time to unwind and enjoy a taco and a margarita. We will plan to have more mix and mingles in the coming months.

Keisha, sales representative, reminded families about the U.S. News and World Report Survey that was either emailed or mailed to families and residents for their input about services at Brookdale Woodward Estates. We encourage all to take part in filling out the survey.

Here in the community, we have visited the residents, and they have been filling out the survey. We want them to express their views while living here at Brookdale Woodward Estates.

Mr. West's mom has been living in the community for three years. He comes to visit his mother once or twice a week. Mr. West mentioned he travels and likes to cook the foods he has eaten on his trips. We asked him if he would prepare a small sample for the residents to taste, and he said yes. He volunteers once a month and the residents look forward to seeing him and what he is going to prepare. This time he made Lumpia rolls, which are Filipino spring rolls. Yummy!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!

We had a yummy afternoon trying Hershey's ice cream. They brought four flavors for us to try and then vote on which flavor was the best.

The residents had fun sampling the ice cream before they made a decision on what flavor they liked.

The flavors were: cappuccino crunch, black cherry, mint chocolate tracks and moose tracks. It was a tie between cappuccino crunch and black cherry.

You can't live in Maryland without having some Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs. So, at our last Menu Chat with the residents we decided to have a crab boil. The residents were so excited and couldn't wait to crack open the crab and get that lump meat. We also had a few family members to join us that day. What a great time the residents had.

We had a fashion showcase presented by the residents. This evening the residents wanted to show off and show out. They came strolling down the red carpet with smiles on their faces, and a swag when they walked. It was a fun evening. They loved it so much, and are looking forward to another showcase during the holiday season.
