These were taken on Friday, September 16, 2016, the last activity for National Assisted Living Week. We reunited 5 residents with someone from their past. Some had not seen each other for 2 years and others 30 or more years. We reconnected a granddaughter and grandmother, high school classmates, an aunt and nephew, and co-workers. We would give residents clues about how they should know each other and ask if they thought this might be their loved one, before revealing the guest. If you remember "This Is Your Life", a tv show, that is similar to how we did it. Then, surprised residents and their reconnected guest ate pizza and reminised for hours. This was a very exciting day.

Another simply beautiful day!!! We have been so blessed this week to have such lovely weather and such fun and exciting activities. The horse and wagon ride was a blast. We had ice cream cones as we waited for our turn to ride and were seranaded by Don Simmones and his ukulele

We had a resident here at the Summit, turn 100 years young on Thursday, September 8th. Her name is Erma Fox. We threw her a surprise Hollywood Blvd Party. I told her that the eye doctor called and said she had an appointment. I told her that her phone must not be working properly because her family had been trying to call her to let her know to be ready. I told her that I immediately had to take her downstairs to leave on time for her appointment. All of this was not true, obviously. Took her down to the 2nd floor, to a room packed with people, including her nephew Roger Norman and his wife Patty. We took her down the red carpet to a special chair for the birthday girl. Dressed her appropriately for a Hollywood style party, especially when you’re the star. (sun glasses, beautiful red hat with a matching red boa) We told a few interesting facts about Erma, such as: she was born and raised in southern Ohio, her hometown is known for still making old-fashioned washboards, her first job was a telephone operator, she retired from Sears credit department and she made ALL of her own clothes until the last few years, she helped raise her nephew, Roger, due to his father going to war and his mother working, but Erma never married or had children of her own. After the interesting facts, we opened the floor to comments from anyone in the room. Erma was deeply touched to hear all the loving words spoken. We then popped a couple champagne bottles, with a cork hitting the ceiling, and had a wonderful toast to a precious woman that has blessed this earth for 100 years and told her we all love her. We then enjoyed some tasty hors d’oeuvres. We ended this special afternoon with her making her gold Hollywood handprint by her gold star, later putting it in a gold frame and placing on the fireplace mantle, just as any real star would do on Hollywood blvd.

This week is National Assisted Living Week, the theme is "Keep Connected". Monday we kept connected to our management team. The managers had personal visits with the residents. Tuesday we kept connected to technology with a computer demonstration by Maleah Corin Latting. (Thanks Maleah!) Today, we kept connected to the great outdoors with a picnic in the park with jazz music by Joe Digorgio. We had fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and homemade ice cream. Thursday will be Keep Connected to Old Time Fun with a Horse and Wagon ride. We will end the week with Keep Connected to someone from Your Past! We will be surprising 5 residents with someone from their past that they have not seen in many years. I'm very excited about this whole week and hoping each and every one of our residents enjoy it as much as I am anticipating!!!!

Maleah Corin Latting painted this tree for us, here at the Summit. She also did 2 others in our memory care. The residents and staff have truly enjoyed them, along with all the pictures of our residents hanging on them.
Maleah is a graduate of Muskingham College. She has a degree in Digital Media Design. She does free lance work on the side. She also is the daughter of Terra Latting-Osbourne, our Director of Well-Being. Maleah worked here as a Resident Assistant for 5 years. She was always reliable, but more importantly she was kind, loving and gentle with the residents.
Thanks Maleah for such an artistic job of the trees and for all you do for us here at the Summit!!
