                               February 2022

Well its February and as we inch closer to Spring our
residents have a fun filled month of activities to look
forward to! We are striving to get back to normal after
this outbreak and we thank families for being patient in
this process. Program wise we are slowly bringing
back our entertainers, larger programs but in the
meantime we have virtual music therapy, virtual music
visits, supper club and so much more!

 We would like to thank the
 Thornbury bakery for their
 generous donation of
 cookies for all our residents.
 It truly made their day! 

    Outer Footwear
   PLEASE remove your
        wet shoes before
    entering the building.
      We have provided a
       basket full of blue
    booties if your would
    like to put those on. It
    is very important that
   we do not wear our wet
     shoes throughout the
     home, because it is a
    major fall risk for our
     residents. Please also
     remember if you are
    taking your loved one
       out, to wipe their
    wheels upon entering
   the home again. Thank
      you for your help in
   protecting the residents
         in our home 
