Happy Cheese Lover's Day! Another amazing day here, regardless of the frigid cold! 🌬❄️

A little Morning Chit-chat, followed by Twisting Tuesday exercise, with very good participants!
🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️🧀❤️
We worked up our appetite for Cheese-tasting for "National Cheese Lovers Day"!
Gouda was the winner of hard cheeses and Swiss Almond won for cheese spreads! The residents had fun trying cheeses, and some definitely had some they did not like.

David filled in for Pastor Jesse today, since Jesse was at a conference. He will be back next week. We had a fairly good attendance for Worship. ❤️✝️

Men's Club was held on Riverwalk Wing, and they watched the movie📽 "Home Team" (a couple ladies joined them), and the Women's Social was on Mayflower. The ladies did the "Quilting B" game, watched "Family Feud Favorites", and the latest weather update. We are bracing ourselves for Thursday and Friday!🌬❄️

Before you know it we were being called for supper!
See you all tomorrow for massages by me--upper back, shoulders, neck, & upper arms.
The residents are already looking forward to it!
Bundle up my friends!
❤️~Kelly

P.S. I picked winners for my coffee-themed prizes. Congrats to all! 👏 Just a little personal thank you from me. ❤️☕️

Happy Tuesday at Silverstone. Started the morning with Twisting Tuesday exercises and stroll. Then, for "National Cheese Lovers Day", we did some cheese tasting. Had some hits and misses with people liking or disliking them. The creamy style cheeses were a hit, while the harder, grating styles were less popular. Next, we had a visit from Hagar Comfort Dog. Everyone enjoyed seeing her again. After lunch, we had Music with Ken, and he gave another great show. Thanks Ken. Next, we had church time, and we had a guest fill in for Pastor Jesse. Thanks to David for doing a great job. We finished the day with some pong action. Had some great battles, great games by all. That's all for now, we'll see you tomorrow.

Families/staff please read and refresh your mind on these important thoughts. I have posted before but it is always a good refresher for new staff and families...Jen

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

It was a Marvelous Monday at Packard--a jam-packed day of Activities! 😄👍🏻

We started out by singing Happy Birthday to Margie, our only January Birthday. She recently joined the Silverstone Family. 🎈🎉🎂
We had a little "Morning Chit-chat" at breakfast and then we followed with "Movin' to Music" 70's Disco style! 🪩🕺 It was so much fun watching these ladies' dance moves--they still got it! We did a disco train, and then it turned into Disco Balloon Bop! 🪩🎶🎈We were pretty wore out, because we were at it for an hour.

Bingo was well-attended and kept me hopping. We had several winners, but none that ran the table this time!

Lunchtime was followed with Birthday Cake and Ice Cream!! Decadent chocolate cake w/whipped peanut butter frosting and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on top. Margie loved it, and so did the residents! 🎉🎂👍🏻

I had the Activity Points Store open for those to spend their points they earned attending Exercise, Bingo, and Craft Creations. They receive 1 point each time they attend, and I add them up Monday at noon. The Activity Points Store is open every Monday afternoon for them to pick out what they like--from snacks to jewelry to trinkets to necessities. 👍🏻

Leah, our pianist, performed a variety of melodies for us, and did trivia about the songs she played. We really enjoyed listening to some familiar favorites. ❤️🎹🎶👍🏻

Following Leah's performance, we had MLKJ's "I Have a Dream" speech on for "MLKJ Day".❤️

After supper it's socializing with our friends, watching movies, and relaxing in the living room. The residents love to be cozy in their home here.

Another great day in the books, see you all tomorrow! Bundle up and stay warm, it's a cold week.🌬❄️

Happy Monday at Silverstone. Started the morning with Moving to music exercises and a stroll around the building. Next, we had refreshments and watched Martin Luther King Jr give his "I have a dream" speech, for his day. Afterwards, we talked about that day, if we remembered back then, how things have changed, etc. After lunch, we had Monday Bingo, with several winners, and two blackout winners... congrats to Dorothy and Marilyn. Next, we had popcorn and a movie for National Popcorn Day. Sweet movie called "Snowdogs". That's all for now, we'll see you tomorrow.

It was a quiet, relaxing, soul-filled Sunday. Residents have been sleeping in and napping due to colds and the lack of sun. I use times like these to connect with smaller groups.

After morning chit-chat, I did some 1:1 visits with residents and some family members, too.
We had Worship services playing on the TVs on the wings, people looking at books and doing puzzles...it was a quiet morning.
☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️⛄️❄️
It's World Snowman Day, so after lunch we played "Roll the Snowman" Dice Game (Carol completed her snowman first), a "Small Talk" game--which helped to know more about the residents, and we did a cute little Snowman Craft. Residents started a movie on Riverwalk Wing and is finishing it after supper.

See you all again tomorrow!

Happy Soothing Sunday at Silverstone. We had our Sunday stretch exercises and jumped right into our "snowball fights" for “World Snow Day”. Everyone had a blast. (I've posted separate videos on that). Next, we had our hymn sing-a-long, followed by another episode of The Chosen. After lunch, we had our Sunday Matinee, and today's movie was "Jack", with Robin Williams. A really great movie. We finished the day with miscellaneous activities and refreshments. That's all for now, we'll see you tomorrow.
