🦌🌿 A Wildly Educational Visit! 🌿🦌

Yesterday we had a wonderful visit from Ashleigh with Wayne County Conservation! She brought along deer and elk antlers and shared fascinating information about the differences between them.

Our residents enjoyed learning how antlers grow, how they shed each year, and how to tell the difference between deer and elk antlers by size and structure. It was such a hands-on and engaging experience!

Thank you, Ashleigh, for bringing nature right to our door and for helping us learn something new! 🌾✨

🌺✈️ Armchair Travel: Aloha from Hawaii! 🌴🌊

Today our residents packed their “passports” and took an armchair trip to beautiful Hawaii! 🌺

We enjoyed:

🍕 Hawaiian pizza
📘 Passport stamps
🌸 Colorful leis
🏝️ Tropical decorations

Along the way, we learned about Hawaii’s rich culture, traditions, history, and island life. From hula dancing to volcanoes and the meaning of “Aloha,” it was a wonderful mix of fun and learning!

Mahalo to everyone who helped make our tropical getaway so special! 🌞🌺

🧱🎉 Tower Stack Challenge! 🎉🧱

Today we played Tower Stack — and let’s just say it was harder than it looks! 😄

Our residents worked carefully (and sometimes nervously!) to keep the tower from toppling over. It took steady hands, patience, teamwork, and plenty of laughter. Every wobble had us holding our breath!

Even when the tower came crashing down, the smiles and giggles made it all worth it. 💛

Great job to everyone who gave it a try today!

💕 Valentine’s Day Social Celebration! 💕

Love was in the air as we gathered for a wonderful Valentine’s Day Social! Residents enjoyed delicious cookies, BBQ lil’ smokies, and refreshing punch while tapping their toes to great music and testing their knowledge with Valentine’s trivia. ❤️🎶

We also took time to learn about the history of St. Valentine, adding a meaningful touch to the celebration.

Welcome to Corydon Specialty Care

We here at Corydon Specialty Care are committed to the concept that each patient deserves the best quality of life possible. We approach this concept as a team who works closely with the patients’ physician to develop a customized care plan that meets all the patients’ needs – physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Our friendly staff, nurses, therapists and aides ensure a safe, homelike environment.

Located on the edge of Corydon, we provide private and semi-private rooms. Thirteen rooms are served for individuals suffering from Chronic Confusion or Dementing Illness (CCDI) such as Alzheimer’s disease. In this wing, we have increased safety and security measures and created a low-stimulus environment. In conjunction with individualized care plans, this dedicated area assists our residents to optimize their remaining functions, assists them in their losses, and provides an environment to minimize stress and barriers.

Physical, occupational and speech therapists are on hand daily to work one-on-one with each patient. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows each patient to maximize mobility, gain strength, increase flexibility and balance as well as speed healing from any injury that may have occurred.
