Happy New Year! 🎉

Residents counted down and rang in the new year with party blowers and confetti poppers. They enjoyed sparkling grape juice with kringle and ice cream. Our New Year's resolution is to continue to have more fun, laugh more, and spend as much time together as possible.

Thank you to all of the staff and community members that participated in our Adopt a Resident and Angel Tree this year. Santa's sleigh was certainly full, and the residents were overjoyed with all the amazing heartfelt gifts they received. Thank you Santa! 🎄🎁🎅

We have had a couple of busy days at Lancaster Health Services!

Last Thursday, Lancaster High School students spread holiday cheer to our residents. Residents and staff tasted several kinds of cookies at our Third Annual Holiday Cookie Tasting. We "wrapped" up the day with our first annual Christmas Market. Residents were able to pick a few Christmas items and have them wrapped as gifts for family and friends.

The following day, residents enjoyed traditional ham and stuffing with their loved ones at our Family Holiday Meal. Residents were excited to give their family members the gifts they picked out for them the day before and spend time together.

Last Friday was National Gingerbread House Day! These ladies had a blast decorating their little festive houses. We had hot chocolate brewing in the crockpot and reminisced about traditions we had growing up.

If you would like to try our delicious hot chocolate recipe, here it is:

6 cups of whole milk (OR 3 cups whole milk and 3 cups ½ & ½)
2 cans of evaporated milk (12 oz. Cans)
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
2 tsp of vanilla extract
3 cups of chocolate chips (we use semi-sweet)
And a dash of mint extract for an extra festive twist!

You can dump this all in your crock pot on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until melted and enjoy with some whipped cream on top.
