πŸŽ„ Christmas is in the air at Park Merced! This afternoon our residents created custom ornaments by filling clear bulbs with paint colors of their choice, swirling them inside, and letting the excess paint drain. The result? Beautiful, marble-effect ornaments perfect for the holiday season! ✨

We had a truly wonderful Thanksgiving lunch celebrating with our residents, their families, and friends. The room was filled with connection, joy, and the comfort that only a shared holiday meal can bring. ⭐️

Our dining team prepared an incredible homemade feast from scratch, including sausage stuffing, red mashed potatoes, rich gravy, roasted turkey, baked ham, cheesy green bean casserole, warm dinner rolls, and sweet potato casserole. Every dish was made with care and it absolutely showed!

A huge thank you to our amazing dining staff for all their hard work in preparing such a heartfelt and delicious meal for our community. We are so grateful for everything you do. ❀️

Wishing everyone a warm and happy start to the holiday season! πŸ¦ƒ

Yesterday our Parkinson's Support Group welcomed guest speaker Katie Roberts, Senior Services Program Worker, who presented HICAP Overview: Introduction and Understanding Medicare. The information she shared was incredibly valuable, especially with Medicare Open Enrollment ending on December 7.

We want to remind everyone that the group does not meet in December. Our next Parkinson's Support Group meeting will be in the new year on Thursday, January 15th, 2026. 🩡

November is National Alzheimers Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of early detection and supportive care. We are sharing this helpful infographic from UAB Medicine that outlines prevention tips as well as common signs and symptoms to watch for. Raising awareness is the first step in supporting individuals and families living with cognitive changes. 🧠

Together, we can promote understanding, encourage early conversations, and help ensure that seniors receive the care and support they need. πŸ’œ

Today is National Vichyssoise Day, and our residents enjoyed a homemade batch of this classic soup. 🍽️

Vichyssoise (pronounced vee shee SWAHZ) is a creamy potato and leek soup created by Chef Louis Diat at the Ritz Carlton in the early 1900s. Inspired by a chilled soup from his childhood in France, he introduced the version we know today. Although it is traditionally served cold, we prepared both hot and cold varieties so residents could choose their favorite.

Here is a simple recipe for anyone who would like to try it at home, served hot or chilled:

Simple Vichyssoise Soup
Ingredients:
β€’ Four large leeks, white parts only, cleaned and sliced
β€’ Four medium potatoes, peeled and diced
β€’ Four cups chicken or vegetable broth
β€’ One cup heavy cream
β€’ Two tablespoons butter
β€’ Salt and pepper to taste
β€’ Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions:

In a large pot, melt the butter and cook the leeks on low heat until soft.

Add the potatoes and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender.

Blend the soup until smooth, then stir in the cream.

Season with salt and pepper.

To serve hot, warm the soup gently. To serve cold, chill for several hours before serving.

Garnish with fresh chives.

A lovely taste of tradition that can be enjoyed in any season. πŸ™‚
