APRIL RECAP:

April was a great month for our Seneca Lake Terrace residents. We had a wonderful Easter celebration with children from the Church of Jesus Christ. The children performed a Chinese Fan dance which seemed to be the most talked about event. The resident’s thoroughly enjoyed participating in an Easter egg hunt and interacting with the children that they were paired with. The winners of the Easter egg hunt were awarded prizes. We would like to thank everyone that helped us in making this event a success.

The residents and staff enjoyed participating in the March Madness, NCAA Men’s Division 1 Basketball Championship. The residents and staff drew a team and followed the basketball scores which were posted in the main hallway. This activity was fun for both the staff and residents. The winner was announced during Happy Hour and a prize was awarded.

The residents attended the Glen Miller Orchestra at the Smith Opera House on April 18th and dined at Dana’s Time Out prior to the event. The big band sounds of the Glen Miller Orchestra drew toe-tapping and finger-snapping from all of our residents that attended this event.

January Recap:

The residents welcomed in the New Year with a variety of activities. “Take a Stand” exercises was a new activity that we introduced and was well received by the residents. These exercises gave residents more one on one time with the instructor than a conventional exercise program. The residents were able to gain more confidence with stability by holding on to a chair.

The treasure chest donated by the Pioneer Library gave our residents a new idea for an activity which will be offered in February. The treasure chest contains vintage items that the residents can look at and reminisce about. The residents suggested that they share their own “treasures” with other residents leading to the creation of a new activity called “Attic Treasures”. Elaine is always looking for new activity ideas and is always open to suggestions!
