It’s 𝓕𝓡π“ͺ𝓼𝓱 𝓑π“ͺ𝓬𝓴 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓭π“ͺ𝔂!
Thank you to all that made this week special. Travis Dixon of Amedisys provided a well-attended topic on Parkinson’s and later, we enjoyed a visit with Magdalana Grace Siegel, presenting, Bizarre but True Laws. Everyone found it to be enjoyable and stirred up lots of conversations.

Crafts with Carolyn was another grand success with a mixed media epoxy project and earrings. Residents layered different craft materials and dried flowers to create sun catchers. They came out terrific. Man on Wire was this week’s Netflix documentary which focused on Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-walk boasting intriguing conversations amongst residents. Debra Brundage also visited for her monthly line dance class which always raises everyone’s spirits. We welcomed new musicians, Island Mike and Adam Duo. Such a great show. Rachel also brought in an art project for residents to enjoy, canvas button trees, along with an exercise blitz opportunity.

Brian facilitated our signature β€˜Helping Hands’ group of shucking corn for our Wardwell menu. Our dining crew also continues to utilize our Wardwell garden herbs for recipes. The cherry tomatoes are close to picking! In addition, residents had fun with group crosswords, Armchair Travel 'Christmas Around the World' for our Christmas in July Wear it Wednesday, Bingo, Trivia, Left-Center-Right, an afternoon matinee, Rummy, Cribbage and Prayer Group. Thank you to Beth in our kitchen for surprising everyone with delicious homemade gingerbread cookies for frosting to add a touch of magic to our theme day!

The highlight was a NEW outing, a visit to Lily Brook Farm. Residents LOVED spending time with the owner and her animals and seeing the barn. It brought back fond memories for all.

Hello to 𝓕𝓡π“ͺ𝓼𝓱 𝓑π“ͺ𝓬𝓴 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓭π“ͺ𝔂!
From a wonderful ball toss with little Nathan, to trivia with Tammie, exercise blitz, an exciting Co****le tournament, Left Center Right with Connie, Bingo, Cribbage, Prayer Group, Communion with Rejeanne, and Technology Class with Lauren, this week has been filled with opportunities for everybody.

We enjoyed three van outings, a trip to Dollar Tree Marden’s plaza, Walmart, and St. Demetrios 30th Greek Festival! The festival was outstanding. So well done. Each year we are amazed at the beauty and dedication of all involved. A Wardwell annual favorite. We also made sure to purchase baklava for residents and employees as a special noon dinner treat. Opa!

Mike Boisvert joined us for his bi-weekly travel the world posters presentation. Always so interesting. New residents were given a β€˜Wardwell Welcome’ social surrounded by their peers, watched their weekly Netflix series, Puff Wonders of the Reef, and took a few bicycle rides with the S**o Cycles.

Huge thanks as always to our musical guests, Paul and Ellen of Just Us, and the beautiful ladies of Lighthouse Jubilees. The highlight of our week was our first β€˜Family Night’ of the summer season with the Alumni Band and Altrusa serving ice cream for all. One of our most looked forward to events.

Have a fantastic weekend everybody!

Thank you Age Friendly S**o S**o Cycles Chat Rides for your 'brave the rain' efforts. After the showers, the sun came out for all to enjoy the sites of S**o and around the Wardwell neighborhood. We are looking forward to tonight's Family Night with Altrusa and the Alumni Band. Still on everybody!

Welcome 𝓕𝓡π“ͺ𝓼𝓱 𝓑π“ͺ𝓬𝓴 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓭π“ͺ𝔂!
We had lots of things to celebrate this week and several guests joining us at Wardwell. From entertainment with singer Jay Staples and a special holiday performance with guitarist Glenn Bryant, to Historian Phil Morse to talk all about the Seashore Trolley Museum, and gentle Yoga with Mindy Muse. Thank you all. Absolutely fantastic.

This week’s Netflix series featured, Living with Leopards, another beautifully done documentary. Helping Hands with Brian was a huge success and residents had a rolling good time with the marble art project and decorating Wardwell for July’s patriotic theme. You have to come in person to see it because the photos don’t do it justice. Well done ladies.

We got in plenty of exercise blitz, played Bingo, Left Center Right, trivia with Tammie, and a few of our other weekly favorites. We also did a poetry circle and made a poem of our own. Resident Peggy G. Even shared her personal collection of poetry.

The highlight of our week was the outstanding 4th of July BBQ that our kitchen prepared for residents and employees. We are incredibly fortunate. Thank you for your dedication and all the smiles you help make happen.

July at Wardwell is off to a great start. Our monthly theme tree and dining arrangements look fantastic. Residents rocked with Jay Staples for an outdoor concert, did therapeutic firework marble art designs with Leah and Lillia, and chopping slicing and dicing with Brian during our signature Helping Hands. We are enjoying the summertime with plenty of outdoor walks and adventures. Check out our monthly newsletter and calendar featuring the limelight story of resident, Elaine K. More on the way as the holiday approaches.

Happy 𝓕𝓡π“ͺ𝓼𝓱 𝓑π“ͺ𝓬𝓴 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓭π“ͺ𝔂!
The highlight of our week was our visit with the Girl Scouts and root beer floats. What a genuine time of sharing stories, goals and experiences ahead. We had a great restaurant trip to Sea Salt Lobster in S**o and two great entertainers, guitarist Rob Duquette and keyboard artist, Sharon Wright.

Residents hopped in the van for a shopping trip to Reny’s and yes, it was a Maine adventure. Huge thanks to Zack in our kitchen for creating a most intriguing Cape Malay dip for our Armchair Travel to South Africa and using the herbs from Wardwell garden beds. Residents said it was the best dip they ever had. Clove, mustard seed, curry, thyme and more. Different and delicious.

In addition to watching this week's documentary feature: Summit of Lhakpa Sherpa, playing Bingo, exercise blitz, lobby lightning trivia, left center right, paper rose making and penny poker, Mike Boisvert took us to all new destinations with his bi-weekly travel discussion. Lori from Affinity brought lots of smiles as well with a session of beach volley ball and even brought a nifty net! She is certainly the cat’s pajamas.

We ended the fun with our monthly homemade ice cream social made from the heart by Beth. We are so thankful for her. Not only did she whip up homemade vanilla, she also created the hot fudge. Yay Beth!

Have a fabulous weekend, rain or shine… make it a good time.

For National Patch Day, we invited our local Girl Scout troop in. They were very excited about this and spoke of their patches proudly. These young women are doing exceptional things in their communities and have goals that are inspiring. The stories they shared today provide hope for the future. We got the gist that being a Girl Scout is both a lot of fun but also a lot of commitment and hard work. Mia said, "The best thing about being a longtime Girl Scout is you bond with your group. We've been friends forever."

Thank you ladies for joining us today and making and handing out scrumptious root beer floats. Wardwell has a special signature patch for your uniforms in honor of today's Helping Seniors visit. Stay tuned and congratulations on your continued efforts to be of service. Thank you Olivia, Addison, Mia, Winter and Autumn. You are making a difference. Residents LOVED this.
