Volunteer Luncheon Celebrates Appreciation for Medina County Home Volunteers

The Medina County Home recently hosted a special Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon to recognize and celebrate the dedicated individuals who generously give their time and compassion to our residents and community. Volunteers play an important role in bringing kindness, companionship, and support to the residents each and every day, and this luncheon was a heartfelt way to thank them for all they do.

During the luncheon, our wonderful volunteers were treated to a delicious meal from Cool Beans, along with cookies, chips, and dip for everyone to enjoy. The event provided a warm and relaxing atmosphere where volunteers could gather together, share conversations, and feel appreciated for their hard work and dedication.

As a special token of gratitude, each volunteer received a beautiful geranium flower. The flowers symbolized the growth, care, and brightness that our volunteers bring to the Medina County Home through their generosity and commitment.
We are incredibly thankful for our volunteers and the positive impact they make in the lives of our residents.

Their compassion and willingness to help create a welcoming and caring environment that means so much to everyone at the Medina County Home.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for your time, dedication, and the many smiles you bring to our community each day.

Music, Rhythm, and Connection Through Access the Arts

Residents recently enjoyed a wonderful and engaging musical experience thanks to a retired orchestra teacher named Kathy Liticker who now volunteers with the organization Access the Arts. Through her passion for music and education, she brought joy, creativity, and meaningful interaction to residents during a special rhythm-focused activity session.

Using simple rhythmic patterns and musical exercises, residents were encouraged to participate by clapping, tapping, and following along with different beats. Activities like these can also help reduce stress, encourage social interaction, and stimulate cognitive function, making music a powerful tool for engagement and wellness.

The session created smiles, laughter, and a sense of connection as residents worked together through the rhythms and enjoyed the uplifting atmosphere music can bring.

To make the afternoon even more special, Janet generously baked a delicious lemon pound cake for the residents to enjoy after the activity. The homemade treat was a wonderful addition to the event and gave everyone a chance to relax, socialize, and continue enjoying the sense of community created throughout the program.

We are grateful for volunteers and community partners like those from Access the Arts who continue to bring meaningful experiences, creativity, and joy to our residents.

Access the Arts brought Jo Oklessen instruct the resident on how to create Zentangle Art. Zentangle art is a mindful, meditative drawing method that uses structured, repetitive patterns (called "tangles") to create intricate, abstract images. Developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, it promotes relaxation and focus, making it accessible to any skill level without requiring prior art experience.

The Kiwanis of Medina recently held their annual Easter ham sale. As in years past, members generously purchased hams and donated them to the Medina County Home. This year, five hams were delivered just in time to be enjoyed as part of the residents’ Easter lunch.

Thank you, Kiwanis of Medina members, for your continued kindness and support—your generosity helps make the holiday extra special for our residents!

Through a generous grant from the Medina County Senior Services Network, the residents got to see Outback Ray and his menagerie of critters. The grant also covered decorations and pizza for the event. Amy and Amber applied for the grant and came up with all the details for the event. Everyone was given a pair of animal ears to wear for the event. Amy and Amber happily wore the ears. Animals in attendance were
Dobby, the Harlequin Velveteen Rabbit, Franklin, the Red-Footed Tortoise, Wilbur, the Hairless Guinea Pig, Snowball, the Mosaic Chinchilla, Bluey, the Northern Blue-Tongue Skink, and SpongeBob, the Albino Burmese Python, made an appearance, but everyone was too mesmerized to take a picture. This picture of SpongeBob came from his website, outbackray.com. Outback Ray’s Amazing Animal show was very hands-on. All of Ray's animals are captive-born and raised by him and his family to ensure the safety of both the animal and the audience. It was an incredible show that the residents thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks, Outback Ray, for a show filled with humor, knowledge, and relatability.

Access the Arts graciously brought 18 dozen hard-boiled eggs for the residents to color for Easter.
The colored eggs were handed over to the Aramark staff after the event.
Joi from Aramark got very creative with using the eggs. Some were deviled and served with the Easter luncheon. Others were pickled for later use.
Thanks, Access the Arts and Aramark, for so much enjoyment from hard-boiled eggs.

In an attempt to reduce County Home expenses and utilize inter-department cooperation, we contacted County Engineer Andy Conrad for assistance with our storm debris cleanup. Within hours, a team descended upon our property and quickly removed all debris. Pictured, are 3 members of the team that made it happen.
Thank you to the County Highway Department!

The sports room has been rebranded. Can you guess what we’re calling it? Correct, the Peacock Room.

It has also been repurposed from a community room into the primary sitting room for the 1A wing residents.

Amy Perrine was the sole interior decorator for this room. She did a phenomenal job with a minimal budget.

She ran out funds before she could complete her vision, but I think it looks amazing.
