Happy Birthday to Pam!

It has been a fun filled Halloween week here at Journey!

The girls made homemade pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread.

Swan Lake Conservation Center came out and did a presentation on Fox and Wolves with their pelts.

Our favorite Hymn Singers entertained our residents with their talents. Thank you!

Our residents were able to hand out some treats for our trick or treaters. That is always a very fun time for both young and old 🎃

Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday to Darlene! We celebrate you this week!

We enjoy our visitors that come out to share their talents and time with us. The Carroll County Historical Society had another great presentation on the history of Mt, Carmel, Iowa. Wendy from the Carroll Library came out for story time.

The Animal Rescue League of Carroll brought out a kitten for pet therapy. The residents totally enjoyed snuggling with him.

It is the Halloween season! That means some scary and fun crafts! We painted pumpkins, decorated with stickers and made ghosts out of cotton balls. RSVP came out to help make mummies and more pumpkins!

Thank you to Calvin and Nancy Stammer for donating National Geographic Magazines from the 1950s. Our residents will totally enjoy looking at those.

Several high school girls from Kuemper have been coming out on Wednesdays to volunteer and spend time with the residents!

Thank you to everyone for spending time with us!

Journey has several apple trees on their property. So, this time of year, it is all about the apples!

Our residents were busy whipping up apple crisp, apple cookies and of course....apple pie!

Thank you to Brian from Gentiva Hospice who comes out on a regular basis to do a prayer and singing services with our residents.

The Swan Lake Conservation Center never disappoints with their presentations. This week they highlighted birds!

There are always fun crafts going on here at Journey. Bingo is always a favorite. We tried out some new bingo cards and they were a hit!

Have a great weekend and Happy Fall!

We found ourselves super busy going into Fall here at Journey. It is football season, so we had to have a little fun for the Iowa/ ISU football game. Unfortunately, for the author of Journey's page, the author's team didn't win ☹️🙂 But, we did have some fun snacks, watched a football game on television and had a little pre-game poll.

We have been enjoying fall crafts and thank you to the RSVP group for coming out to help us with our crafts, snacks and fellowship.

The Hymn Singers and the Knobbe singers entertained our residents. Music is the best therapy! Thank you to both groups for taking the time to sing to and with our residents!

Speaking of therapy, we had the Animal Rescue Shelter come out with a fun loving dog for our pet therapy.

Bingo, making cookies and working on our seasonal posters are always a highlight here at Journey!

Happy Fall!

We are finishing off summer at Journey with many fun activities and visitors!

Swan Lake came out with Bears! They had a wonderful presentation for our residents. The Carroll County Historical Society did a very informative overview on the history of C**n Rapids, Iowa. As always, the Hymn singers performed many favorite songs. They are a "fan favorite".

RSV had a group come out to do a craft with our residents. Availa Bank came with a lovely bouquet of flowers acknowledging National Senior Citizen Day!

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VISITORS WHO MAKE THE EFFORT TO SPEND TIME WITH OUR RESIDENTS! YOU ARE SO APPRECIATED!

Happy Labor Day!

Here a few quick photos highlighting our week here at Journey!

It was time to harvest the potatoes and tomatoes. They enjoyed digging them out of the dirt and we all had fun watching our gardens grow this summer!

We had more cats for pet therapy and we fired up some games of Bingo! A resident favorite!

Have a great weekend!

Our sweetcorn is ready! Our residents had a great time picking, husking and preparing it for lunch!

The activity room has been busy with the summer theme board and a lot of fun crafts!

Swan Lake came to visit again this month and their focus was "animals with antlers" There were some fun hunting stories told by our residents. Swan Lake does a great job keeping them engaged. Thank you so much!

We always enjoy the hymn singers who come to share their talent and stories with our residents.

When it is super hot and humid out, it is always fun to put on a movie and snack on some popcorn. One of our more popular movies was the "Apple Dumpling Gang"

We wish everyone a wonderful weekend and enjoy the cooler weather!
