🎦What a pleasure to host a presentation by local historian and author Christopher Roy: "Mr. Moser's Neighborhood, the History of Theatre in Cleveland."
🎭
We learned that vaudeville which roughly translates to "voice of the city" took place from 1885 to1930 in cities all across the U.S. and in roughly 70 theatres in the Cleveland area. Each 90- to120-minute live show had 8-10 acts, everything from acrobats and comedy/slapstick to juggling, puppetry, sword swallowers and ventriloquism. Most of the entertainers dined at Otto Moser's pub and left behind signed photographs which papered the restaurant's walls. Many would become Hollywood's early stars, such as: Abbott & Costello, Fred & Adele Astaire, Jack Benny, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, and many more. It was a delightful glimpse into Cleveland's entertainment history! 🌟

What an incredible group of Cleveland State University nursing students! 💚🤍 They were excellent presenters at the Wellness Fair they coordinated for residents at our Garfield Heights campus.

The students provided useful education about important topics like fall prevention, urinary tract infections, good dental hygiene and access to physicians. These future nurses made meaningful connections with residents.

Events like this highlight the power of partnerships and the compassionate leadership our students bring to healthcare. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event focused on wellness, education, and empowerment!

Thank you Cleveland State University School of Nursing!

Catholics around the world mark the start of Lent this week beginning with Ash Wednesday. This time of reflection and preparation over the next 40 days leads to Easter. In Pope Leo's message, he says, "Lent is a time in which the Church, guided by a sense of maternal care, invites us to place the mystery of God back in the center of our lives, in order to find renewal in our faith and keep our hearts from being consumed by the anxieties and distractions of daily life."

🎶✨Lively music, colorful beads and glittering masks bring an electric energy to Jennings on Mardi Gras!🎭✨ We turned it all the way up with one of our local favorites - the incredible Mike Petrone Band playing live in our auditorium. From the first note to the last encore, the piano was on fire, saxophone was blazing, the drums were thumping, and the guitar was held rhythm for our New Orleans style melodies.

The music was magic to the audience. For some, the music brought them to their feet to dance alone or with partners, and others were clapping and dancing in their seats.💜💛💚

Nothing warms the heart quite like celebrating Mardi Gras surrounded by an amazing community—especially when our senior adults are leading the fun! 🎭💜💛💚 Seeing the joy, laughter, and energy in the room is a great reminder that you’re never too old to celebrate, sing along, and let the good times roll.

Good times, great friends, and a soundtrack we’ll never forget. Let the good times roll! 🎶🎉

💞 True love lasts a lifetime. This Valentine’s Day, some beautiful couples reminded us what it truly means to say, “I will love and honor you all the days of my life.” In sickness and in health, these couples are examples of the enduring strength of their promises.

Inside Holy Spirit Chapel, vows were renewed, hands were held a little tighter, and promises were spoken with the same devotion as the very first “I do.” 💍✨Father Len blessed these marriages, which represented hundreds of years of marriage.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued with a delicious meal, and our pianist filled the room with favorite love songs — because love like this deserves to be celebrated. 🎶❤️

Here’s to enduring love, cherished memories, and many more years of “always.”

❤️Cupid Connections❤️ Jennings at Brecksville residents celebrated Valentine’s Day with floral teas, sweet treats, and beautifully festive table settings. Chocolate hearts, colorful candies, and cupcakes topped with pink frosting filled the tables as residents enjoyed lively conversation and answered Valentine’s trivia. In Roman mythology, who is the god of love? Cupid, of course.💘

Winners happily cherished their prizes, and everyone delighted in an afternoon filled with laughter, camaraderie, and heartfelt connection.

🏎️🚙Rev them up! We spent a chilly day transforming building blocks into themed cars. Our young brought plenty of parts to choose from. Take a look at how each colorful car has its own fun design and character drivers! Some of them even have a souped up name to edge out the others. We can’t wait to see these vehicles in action. 🏁
