Five Counties Nursing Home

Today we honored our Veterans with a special program featuring Veteran Greg Karels as our guest speaker. Patriotic music, a fitting poem and descriptive history given of three Veterans within our Five Counties home made for a nice program for our residents and guests.

The VFW Ladies Auxiliary honors our resident Veterans every month with special door decorations and treats, always letting them know they are thought of. Thank you for all you do and for putting this program together for those who have served our great country.

And thank you Veterans.

Happening this Wednesday November 12th and next week Wednesday November 19th. Families thinking of coming please call Beth in Activities so we can make sure we have enough supplies and room. 605-374-3871
We are so excited to have Ethan Thom come into our home and share his creative talent with us!

Residents and their family members will have the opportunity to Finger Paint Flowers Wednesday, Nov. 12th & 19th at 2 PM at Five Counties Nursing Home. Ethan Thom will demonstrate the technique for residents to create their own flower using their fingers. For families, it can become an intergenerational work of art as fingers combine to create!
(The picture sample used dark paint to provide contrast to illustrate how the object comes about.)
This fun activity is sponsored by the South Dakota Arts Council and Grand River Arts Council through the Art for Life program.

It’s Halloween week! Things started off special on Monster Monday!

We had a visit from Calvary Lutheran Preschool. They sang some Halloween songs, read some Halloween books, and did some Halloween dances for us. We all loved having them in first thing Monday morning, it was a great way to start our week!
