ASSISTED LIVING · TWO LEVELS OF MEMORY CARE

December 2021

Assisted Living

The Holiday season is one of

joy and wonder. It's a time to

do for others and to spread

cheer and love throughout

the greater community, but

we can't forget the furry little

friends that fill our lives with

so much, the whole year

through. This Holiday Season our Community will be participating

in Operation Santa Paws. We are asking you all to help us in

collecting new and gently used pet supplies, toys, and food items

that will be donated to the local Animal Shelter. So many animals

are in need, this is a way we can help out. Collections will begin

December 9th and continue through January 10th. Donation boxes

will be found just inside our lobby. Let's spread the love to pets in

need and wish all of our future four legged friends a Happy

Holiday!

Our Community has been blessed with

the creativity of a great number of

Bay Path Occupational Therapy Students.

The students use the knowledge and

skills, they have learned through their

schooling, to bring new programs to our

community. The students have

developed great crafting activities that

help us to practice both our fine and

gross motor skills. They also help us with

keeping our mind and body fit. From

exercise, including yoga, to lessons on

stress relieving techniques and

meditation, it feels good to keep our

bodies active and our minds free of

stress.

We are looking forward to seeing our Bay

Path students on Friday, December 3rd

at 3:00 pm and Tuesday, December 7th

at 10:30 am.

Path to Well-Being

Our Halloween celebration was filled with fun, laughter, and of course

candy! Both associates and residents dressed to impress and made their

way through the community in our annual Halloween Parade. We had the

whole Wizard of Oz entourage, Snow White, a reindeer and a cowboy to

name a few. Everyone had a great time as the paraders "backwards trick-

or-treated" handing out candy to all of the smiling spectators.

Our annual pumpkin decorating contest was a hit. Residents, visitors, and

associates voted for their favorites on display in the lobby. There were

ghosts, witches and many other very creative entries. The three winners

were Mike Shaw with his pumpkin who blew its top off, Sherry Mayer and

her hatching dinosaur, and Judy Gagnon for her movie night of buttery

popcorn.
