It was another fun day for the residents today as the Board of Directors treated them to a Christmas Party which started off with entertainment by Layton Ferster. It was a pleasant surprise for his grandmother Rose Dumais who did not know he was to sing. Thank you Layton for providing us with some tunes and a few Xmas Carols🎶🎵🎼🎄.
Following the entertainment, Santa (Jessica Kaye) surprised the residents with her presence and handed out gifts provided by the Adopt a Resident program put together by the Manor. The board members also distributed gifts bought for the residents. As you can see by the photos, many smiles were evident!! A table full of snacks and goodies were served to all in attendance. Thank you supporters and families for sharing this afternoon with your loved ones. Merry Christmas to all🎄

Our residents were invited by the Friends of the Manor yesterday to take in a supper outing at Arnie’s Grill in Shellbrook. Christmas carols were sung on the bus and following supper, we idled around Shellbrook, Canwood and Debden for a Christmas light tour. Wow, thank you for those who go above and beyond to decorate for the holiday season🎄🎅🏻
Thank you Nola for volunteering to drive us around in the WPP bus, you did a great job! Thank you to our FOMs for organizing and of course a huge thank you to the residents who enjoyed the outing very much and for being so thankful for the outing!
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all🎄🎉

The Manor has had the privilege of caring for our resident, Sten, for the last couple of years. Today, we bid farewell to our friend as he moves to long-term care. It has been an absolute joy having him at the home, and he will be greatly missed by staff and residents alike. Thank you, Sten, for showing that kindness and sweetness has no age limit ❤️ We wish him the best in Prince Albert, and encourage friends of Sten’s to visit him at Herb Bassett if they are ever in the area!

I am a little behind but I believe in better late than never😉!!!
I cannot thank this group enough as they never fall short of ideas to entertain our residents! Sunday’s happy hour was very much enjoyed by all and the meal put together filled them right up to the top😉!!
As we all know, our dear Celine Beaulac and Denise Sirois would have been involved in the planning and participation of this event so a toast was shared for both of them as we raised our glasses. We miss them both dearly💕.
Tickets continue to be sold for the 50/50 draw which is to take place on Xmas Eve. In the coming days following this draw, I will post the proceeds amount which the Friends of the Manor are donating to our Kitchen Reno fund.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎄

Today we pay our last respects to this beautiful soul whom is sadly missed at the Manor as a resident. We will celebrate her life as this is what she did, she was a lady who celebrated many occasions and special things dear to her heart. She planned and organized many parties, she hosted, oh she loved hosting, and cooking even while battling her illness!!! She was a fighter, she had a strong will to live and she leaves behind a family that was taught the same lifestyle so her legend will live on. Right to the end, she decorated. Christmas was very important to her and she passed away in a beautifully decorated room. She had a love for Nutcrackers, they were everywhere in her room and her daughter touched our hearts when at her mom’s passing, she gifted the entire staff with a Nutcracker💕. A memory I will cherish forever that will remind me, especially at Xmas time of Denise! On behalf of the Debden Heritage Manor staff and residents, I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Denise. May you rest in peace, pain free. 🙏 Dianne

The Staff and Residents of Debden Heritage Manor have been excitedly preparing for tomorrow’s craft & bake sale!

A huge thank you to our Kitchen Supervisor, Janine Jensen, for the glorious meat pies the Residents helped with. The smell in the kitchen was amazing, and we’ve got them up for grabs tomorrow. It was a labour of love that does not go unnoticed.

Another big thank you to Steven Ruel, who assembled some beautiful wall hangers which Residents George and Alma were happy to prime for the rest of our Residents to finish. A limited number of these hand-made, locally senior-crafted Christmas decorations will also be available.

Additionally, generously donated Glenn Scrimshaw prints will be up for sale, in addition to baked goods and self-care items from local vendors.

The Debden Heritage Manor Craft sale runs from 1 PM to 4 PM tomorrow, and we look forward to seeing you there! Please spread the word, as all proceeds go towards our kitchen renovations!
