Beyond the Ordinary. You can say that again!
This year's National Activity Professionals Week's theme is Beyond the Ordinary. And, that makes perfect sense because our activity professionals, (aka our amazing Recreation Team) is EXTRAORDINARY! They bring JOY, PURPOSE, and MEANING to our friends here at St. Camillus. They create enriching experiences for our residents, while having so much FUN! We think our team is the BEST - that's why we want to take moment to recap some of the highlights of the past year. Thank you for the tremendous work you do.

During this 🥶FRIGID🥶 weather, we need something to look forward to. Let's take some advice from the Snowdrop - the official flower🎋 of January, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. And, like us Central New Yorkers, they are RESILIENT. They are cherished for their ability to endure the bitterness of winter and embrace the promise of Spring.
*** We gave a Snowdrop "bouquet" to our friend Becky, who is leaving us today from our Short-term Rehab program. During her time here, she blessed us with so much s***k, kindness and an incredible amount of musical knowledge. It is bittersweet, we will miss her, but we know she is well prepared and ready to go home. Like the Snowdrop Flower, she is looking forward to brighter days and new beginnings, thanks to our Incredible Rehab Team!

Attention all Bibliophiles: (That's Bookworm to me and you!🐛) Did you know that it is BOOK BLITZ JANUARY!?!? That's right, during the month of January you are supposed to hunker down and finish your unfinished books, check off your TBR (To Be Read) list or pick up a fresh new novel. At St. Camillus, we make it easy with our BOOK BLITZ ON THE GO Library Cart. We take books on the move, from room to room. This way anyone who is interested can grab a good read. We understand that not all residents/patients want to participate in large group activities. And, we offer books, magazines, newspapers, cookbooks and activity books. This is just one way we can personalize our resident and patient experience here. PS - Check out our Short-term Rehab lounge. Isn't it cozy? Our Rec. Team sure thinks so! Happy Reading Everyone 👓📔📰📚.

No, We haven't gone NUTTY... 🌰🥜Today we are celebrating Squirrel Appreciation DAY! These adorable woodland creatures like to visit us in our beautiful courtyards. Our courtyards are a favorite spot for our residents and one of the many benefits of our home-like environment. Our residents, patients, staff and visitors love to watch the squirrels' antics and laugh at their silliness. We are so happy to provide a bit of nature to our community at St. Camillus. (Note: Full disclosure photo below might be a SLIGHT bit of an exaggeration 🤭 but we really do love our little friends....)

Say CHEEEEESE! We celebrated National Cheese Day with a sampling of delicious cheeses for our friends. Some of them have never tried goat cheese, or other varieties of cheese before, so it was an experience. And the verdict? It was very gouda. 🧀

Q. What did one HAT say to another?
A. You stop here, I'll go on a HEAD. 🤣
Celebrating National Hat Day at St. Camillus - Hats off to our friends who looked fabulous sporting these fun "LIDS".
National Hat Day is celebrated to invite people of all ages to wear and appreciate HATS! Hats have been donned for thousands of years and serve all kinds of purposes from uniform, warmth, protection and fashion. We sure had fun talking to our friends at St. Camillus about all of the "different hats" they've worn in their lifetime - police, military, cowboy, baseball caps, and high-fashion hats to church. Something as common as a hat can spark memories and social activities for our residents at St. Camillus.
