Today we celebrated our resident Barbara’s 102nd birthday! She is a truly special lady. Barbara dedicated her life to nursing and even served as a nurse during World War II.

Her life advice to all of us is simple: “Have fun.”

Barbara is hilarious, kind, and truly wonderful in every way. We are so grateful to celebrate this incredible milestone with her. Happy 102nd Birthday, Barbara! 🎉

Nothing says fall like the sweet smell of fresh, fried pies—especially when they’re made with love by Alice from Trinity Hospice! 🍂🥧
We had such a fun (and delightfully messy!) time enjoying these homemade treats today. Thank you, Alice, for bringing the flavors of fall and so many smiles to our community! 💛

🔥🍫⛺ Camping Week is off to a sweet (and sticky!) start!

We kicked things off with indoor s’mores and classic campfire songs — and let’s just say the marshmallows were messy, melty, and totally nostalgic! 🪵🎶 There's nothing like the taste of a s’more to bring back summertime memories and spark new ones with friends.
Stay tuned for more fun at Camp Tealridge— the adventure is just getting started! 🌲💛

🎉 Did you know today is National Vanilla Pudding Day? We celebrated in the sweetest way possible—with a Pudding & Putting Party! ⛳🍨

Our residents showed off their putting skills on the green and then indulged in delicious vanilla pudding topped with crunchy Oreos—because what’s a celebration without a little extra treat?

Smiles, laughter, and a sprinkle of sweetness made for a perfect afternoon! 💛

🍪 Cooking Club with Patty: Monster Cookie Energy Bites! 💪

Today in our Cooking Club, residents rolled up their sleeves and got creative with Patty! Together, we made Monster Cookie Energy Bites — a fun, no-bake treat packed with oats, peanut butter, a little chocolate, and a lot of heart. ❤️

Not only were they delicious, but they also brought smiles, laughter, and a great sense of accomplishment. Cooking Club is always a hit, and today was no exception!

This week’s essential spotlight employee is Ebbie Nelson.
Ebbie currently works as a CMA for the assisted living community and has been at Tealridge for a year. She is also working towards her nursing degree.
Ebbie stated “the relationships she builds with the residents” is what makes her job worthwhile. “I view the residents as family and never look at them as just patients.”
The thing that has kept her sane during COVID is her beautiful family, son and husband and awaiting the arrival of her baby girl joining them soon.
The advice she would like to give to others is “to stop focusing on what you can’t do and start focusing on what you can and also implement social distancing at all costs.”
The person she looks up to is singer/actress Demi Lovato because she never fails to come back stronger than before.
The one word that describes Ebbie is “ornery.” She is that at times, but she does what she can to help the residents.
Ebbie’s favorite hobby is bingo, watching medical drama on television and playing with her son.
Thank You Ebbie for all you do and we appreciate you!

This weeks essential worker is Jennifer Lovelady.
Jennifer currently works Monday-Friday as our nursing supervisor and infection preventionist here at Tealridge.
Jennifer has currently worked for Tealridge for almost 3 years and has been a nurse for 3 years and continues to pursue her career to become an RN.
Jennifer states “Developing relationships with the residents, educating families and improving the environment for staff and residents so everyone can have more good days than bad” is why she does what she does.
Jennifer states “serving God and his children in the work he has called her to do has kept her sane through the COVID pandemic. The advice that she would like to share with others is “make sure to take time for your own mental and physical health through COVID 19.”
Jennifer identifies her children as her heroes. She states “even through the challenging times they are the ones who find things to enjoy and find wonder and joy daily.”
The word that identifies Jennifer is “Organizer.” She is a nerd for writing policies and procedures and loves organizing things. She says “everything has a place” and she loves when her environment is neat and tidy.
Jennifer’s current hobbies are doing nails and reading. She has even learned how to master the art of applying nails during COVID. She states “ doing my nails is relaxing and I loved to read quit a bit.”
THANK YOU JENNIFER for all you do!
