"Freemasonry is the world’s oldest secular fraternal organization, bringing men together to focus on moral improvement, charity, and fellowship. The group focuses on building character, fostering friendship, and practicing charity, with members often pledging to help others and their communities."

One of our residents Charlie Walker is part of this group, the impact it has made on his life and the impact it has allowed him to make on his community is profound.

It was our honor to help Charlie host the group here for a meeting. Being able to reconnect our community and residents together is so important to us.

Thank you to all the staff and departments that went above and beyond to help make this memorable evening for Charlie and the Freemasons Group.

Giving back to the community is a core value to this group, and they have done it again. Last evening they took up a collection, with more members who were unable to attend continuing to donate. The collection will be given to The Mahone Bay Nursing Home in the Resident Funding, to be able to provide more support and entertainment to our resident's.

Thank you Charlie & Thank you Freemasons

This week, the folks on 3B had a special guest for the evening. Steve from the Health Association of Nova Scotia was doing some work in the building and asked if we thought the residents would enjoy a visit. We quickly said yes, and they absolutely loved his time with them. the longer he played the more joined the group. Steve, you're welcome back anytime! Thanks a bunch!

Tuesdays are for painting! These ladies have been working hard on some amazing pieces. Some have been painting for years, some have just started with us, each growing and learning new techniques each week. We're so proud of their work. As we complete a few more pieces we'll be able to host our Art show, inviting all of you to come view their masterpieces.

Last Friday, the residents of Floor 3 had the opportunity to be pampered.

We once again endeavored to create a relaxing and inviting environment, complete with decorations, non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks.

The services provided included hand massages, head massages, the application of heat packs, gentle range of motion exercises, nail care, facials, eyeglass cleaning, and more.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this day so special for our residents on the third floor. Most importantly, we extend our thanks to the residents of the third floor for allowing us the privilege of pampering you.
