Dimension of Wellness: intellectual, spiritual, social,
Activity: Residents started the day off making homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch. While we all waited for the dough to rise. We reminisced about how recipes and how things were made back in the good ole days. Time came to pop them in the oven and while baking was going on. It was time for Bible Study. After Bible Study and the whole facility was smelling like a bakery and the frosting still dripping from top of the rolls! It was time to serve up! Staff and residents just couldn’t wait to tasted fresh cinnamon rolls right out of the oven.
Story: We have a resident Lois who stated she used to make cinnamon all the time when she was at home. And she really enjoyed jumping in today to help out with just the right about of sugar and butter and cinnamon to use.

Activity: Crafts engaging in creative activities can boost happiness and a sense of life satisfaction. Pet therapy by Rebel. Pet therapy can lead to improved moods, reduced feelings of loneliness and depression. It was such a nice afternoon, we headed outside with Rebel as he rolled around in the grass enjoying the weather and all the attention. While residents listened to music and worked on our up coming Christmas float décor.
Story: Our morning kicked off with crafts. Everyone was enjoying getting creative and making their own projects to show off to others. After lunch we had a visit from Rebel who comes in to visit residents. Got to hear about one resident telling her story of rescuing a puppy the same breed as Rebel and how she got her to ride on a motorcycle.
