🌞 Looking back into August – A Spanish Celebration of Culture, Connection, and Community 🇪🇸
August was all about honoring the vibrant beauty and spirit of Spain—and what a month it was! From delicious cuisine to passionate performances, we fully immersed ourselves in Spanish culture, leaving lasting memories and stronger bonds within our community.
💃 Flamenco Comes to Life
One of the most unforgettable highlights was our Flamenco Show. Our talented Program Director serenaded us with live Spanish guitar and vocals, creating the perfect ambiance. Veronica, our professional Flamenco dancer and lead caregiver, gave a breathtaking performance that truly captured the fire and emotion of Flamenco.
Joining her was Program Assistant Blanca, who quickly learned a few moves and helped form what we lovingly called the WellQuest Flamenco Gang. The performance reached new heights when one of our resident’s daughters flew in from Spain just to participate in the show—bringing an authentic and deeply personal touch to the celebration.
🍤 Tastes of Spain
We enjoyed a delicious variety of Spanish-inspired meals, including a beautifully prepared authentic Paella and a vibrant Tapas Tea Party. Our chef pulled out all the stops, especially at the end-of-month tea party, transforming the event into a flavorful grand finale that had everyone buzzing with excitement for what next year may bring.
🧠 Mind & Body Wellness
In the midst of our cultural experiences, we welcomed a behavior therapist who provided an insightful lecture on dementia—how it presents, what triggers it, and why the body responds the way it does. The session sparked meaningful conversations and inspired many residents to become more engaged in our daily exercise classes and pool workouts, showing a renewed focus on physical and cognitive health.
🍻 Cheers to the Brother Beer Club
August also saw the exciting launch of our Brother Beer Club, where residents brewed their very own beer! The results were both delicious and surprising—some residents even called it one of the best beers they’ve ever had. The pride, teamwork, and joy from this activity made it a clear favorite.
🤝 A Month to Remember
August reminded us how powerful cultural connection can be. We didn’t just learn about Spain—we experienced it. We danced, we cooked, we laughed, and we came together in a way that made our community feel even more like family.
Here’s to many more months of learning, bonding, and celebrating together. ¡Olé!
