On Friday, Nurse Mackenzie made our afternoon even better by bringing in her recently adopted puppy, Maisie, for a visit. 🐶 Residents were able to hug and pet Maisie which assisted Maisie with her ability to connect with people. Residents also enjoyed socializing with each other while reminiscing about their beloved pets. 🐈

Residents had snow much fun with Ms. Sarah from Cedar County Conservation

🌨️😅❄️ 😱

First, residents worked in teams to play tissue box hockey. Pool noodles were used as posts to keep the lid on the table. Then residents recalled having their own snowball contests while using cotton rounds. By completing these exercises, residents used their arms shoulders as well as their facial muscles from smiling and laughing so much!

Stay tuned for Ms. Sarah's visit in February were we learn about groundhogs!

Let us know in the comments below what month we should begin our planting projects!

Care Initiatives is committed to helping residents maintain as much independence as possible. We respect personal routines, preferences, choices, and provide the right level of support for daily needs while encouraging residents to stay active, make decisions, and enjoy the things they love. Independence and quality of life go hand in hand here!
