On This Day In History 07/04/1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, marking the birth of the United States. This historic document, primarily crafted by Thomas Jefferson, boldly declared the American colonies' separation from British rule. 🎆🇺🇸

The Declaration, a response to years of oppressive British policies, articulated the colonies' right to self-governance. It set forth the timeless principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Its adoption played a pivotal role in shaping modern democracy.

July 4th remains a day of celebration, commemorating the courage and vision of the Founding Fathers. Today we remember the monumental step towards independence and the enduring values it enshrined. 📜✨

To celebrate the first day of summer HHCP has a Fabulous Family Fun pack drawing for Employees. This is the third annual contest and I'm happy to say Heather Tate was the lucky employee who won all these prizes to help her kick things off in style. As a temperatures heat up she'll be the coolest family on her block with; two bubble wands, a Zoomo plastic disc launcher and Lilo and Stitch swim tube for the kids, a 30 quart portable insulated cooler with two built in cupholds on the lid, Smirnoff Ice premium malt beverage 12-pack summer sampler, 2 packs of :umbrella_on_ground: fun themed napkins and one pack of paper plates and finally, beautiful handcrafted wooden HOME sign that is perfect to display for your deck, patio or front door. The sign comes with two Velcro attachments which are seasonal themed: flip-flops for summer and a Grinch cut out for winter. (Nearly 35 other designs exist which you may purchase at Creative Sisters in Olyphant on the Burke bypass). Again congratulations to Heather!!

On our final stop for National Nursing Home week 2025 We went to Julia Ribaudo Extended Care Center. The theme for National Nursing Home Week this year, was the "The Tapestry of Life". I was joined by MSW Tim Lauffenburger and Reverend Marcelle Dotson our Chaplain. Residents watched a video called Tapestry by Carole King while samples of tapestries were passed around the room. Finally, punch and cupcakes were had by all those in attendance. What a great way to end National Nursing Home week. Thanks to the staff of Julia for having us at their facility for the activity All of us look forward to seeing all of you again next year.

Celebrating National Nursing Home week 2025 with the theme of Tapestry of Life.... Joe Liberatore and MSW Tim Lauffenburger partnered with Dunmore Health Care Center and presented to the residents and staff the meaning behind behind this year's theme. Tim explained how each of us is a part of a tapestry and just as individual threads come together to weave a whole image, so do patients, direct care staff, maintenance, housekeeping, dietary, vendors, administration, families and volunteers all come together to create an interconnected woven tapestry of human life. We played a video called Tapestry by Carole King, a tapestry poem was read and finally refreshments were served to all. Thanks to all the staff from Dunmore that helpful this together and make it such a great event for all.
