🎪✨ Step Right Up to the Hayes Residence Carnival! ✨🎪

What better way to spend a Friday than with a carnival inside Hayes Residence? 🎉

Our incredible Activities Director, Cecilia, brought the magic to life with sweet snacks, amazing prizes, and classic carnival games like tossing bean bags, knocking over cans, playing tic-tac-toe, and guessing the number of Tootsie Rolls in the jar! 🍭🎯🎟️

“Games were played,
Prizes were won,
Smiles were shared,
And oh, what fun!”

The joy on our residents’ faces said it all — laughter, cheering, and a few happy dance moves when those prizes were claimed! 🏆💖 Every resident went home with not only goodies but also memories worth cherishing. 🌟

👏 Huge thanks to Cecilia — our very own party rockstar — for pouring her heart into making this event unforgettable.

Dear Facebook Family,

Please join us in a big around the world round of applause as we CELEBRATE the LEGACY of Debbie Sawyer, who dedicated 35 incredible years of service as the Activities Director here at Hayes Residence!

Words alone can’t express the deep gratitude we feel for Debbie’s unwavering presence, boundless compassion, and the joy she has brought to both residents and staff throughout the years. She has been a constant source of encouragement, support, and a guiding light — always offering a kind word, warm heart, and a listening ear to others.

Debbie’s love for the outdoors and our Highland Park community was something she passed on to our residents through daily strolls, fresh air, taking walks to the park and chatting with the neighbors along the way.

Residents and staff had a time of fellowship and refreshments as we celebrated Debbie’s incredible legacy she will leave behind at Hayes Residence. As she embarks on her retirement journey. We truly had a wonderful time sending her off with the love, laughter, and such a classy celebration that she so richly deserves!

Debbie’s laughter, wisdom, and compassionate spirit will forever leave a lasting imprint on the heart of Hayes Residence and within our Highland Park Community. She will be missed but have left us with so many memories and the continued reminder to always smile and enjoy life to the fullest!

Warmly,

Hayes Residents & Staff!

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from our Hayes Residence Family to yours🌸

Today, we honor the love, strength, and grace of all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our lives — past and present. At Hayes Residence, we are blessed to share each day with women whose wisdom, resilience, and nurturing spirit continue to inspire us all.

To our residents, thank you for the stories you share, the families you’ve raised, and the lives you’ve touched. You remind us every day what it means to love unconditionally.

To our dedicated staff — many of whom are mothers or caregivers in your own homes — we are endlessly grateful for the compassion and care you give so generously. You truly embody the spirit of motherhood in every gesture, every word, and every moment you spend caring for others.

May this Mother’s Day bring warmth, reflection, and heartfelt gratitude to all who mother and to all who are cherished as mothers in our hearts.

Our message to our Hayes Residence Staff, established by AHCA in 1967, National Nursing Care Week starts each year on Mother's Day and encourages skilled nursing care centers around the country to shine a light on the individuals who reside, work, and volunteer in nursing.

This is a time when we participate in that celebration as a facility. National Skilled Nursing Care Week (ahcancal.org)
*This week will consist of provided snacks in the breakroom, impromptu activities, fun facts, music, and timeless TV shows playing at various times.

Participation from everyone during your work shift will make this a memorable week at Hayes. Share in the Spirit, Share in the FUN, and take our residents back in time as they remember their favorite music, TV shows, & golden era of their days. To celebrate with our fellow nursing homes, the theme this year is “Radiant Memories – A Tribute to the Golden Age of Radio.”

Radiant Memories invites us to step back into a time when the airwaves were filled with captivating stories and melodies, celebrating not just nostalgia but also the enduring legacy of nursing care centers, staff, and residents.

During the Golden Age of Radio, which spanned from the 1920s to the 1950s, radio was the primary source of news, music, drama, comedy, and other entertainment for millions worldwide. Families would gather around the radio to tune into beloved shows like "The War of the Worlds," "The Lone Ranger," "The Shadow," and "The Green Hornet," creating cherished memories together.

During The Golden Age of Radio Era, the rise of various programming genres, including soap operas, detective dramas, variety shows, comedy programs, and musical performances. Radio also played a significant role during World War II, providing essential news updates, entertainment, and morale-boosting programming for both civilians and troops.

The Golden Age of Radio holds a special place in American culture, with broadcasts ranging from presidential fireside chats to old-time radio dramas and chart-topping hits. This theme recognizes the cherished moments shared through music and stories over the radio waves, reflecting on the profound impact radio has had on our lives.

Throughout the week, we'll shine a spotlight on each department's contributions to the Residents of Hayes:

Monday: Housekeeping Team
Tuesday: Management Team
Wednesday: Nursing Team
Thursday: Residents of Hayes
Friday: Dietary Team

Let's use this week as an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate our fellow departments for their dedication and commitment to enhancing the lives of our residents at Hayes.

Sincerely,
The Hayes Management Team~
