NATIONAL NURSING HOME WEEK - AWARDS CEREMONY

Friday morning we held our annual Awards Ceremony and presented personalized awards to our residents…more than two hundred! A lot of care and thought was given to each one – some brought laughter and some brought tears. A few family members also received awards for special accomplishments. Below are pictured a few of the recipients.
Also on Friday we made ice cream sundaes for any staff or resident who came to get one! The ice cream was refreshing and the toppings were yummy as each person created their own sundae.

Donna Beck and Janet Noker have fun while waiting for their awards.

Keep looking for current updates!

They keep growing!

LAKESIDE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH BELL CHOIR

Every year, on the first Monday of May, the Bell Choir from the Lakeside United Methodist Church in DuBois perform at CKM. Through the careful direction of Andrew Hipwell, choir director and conductor, these musicians perform interesting harmonies that are both elegant and soothing. The coordination of the bell ringers is precise, as the ensemble unites, as one instrument with their individual notes. These combined notes result in a unique and beautiful sound.

CALVARY BOYS

On Friday night we had the pleasure of listening to the Calvary Boys of Clearfield. A gospel quartet spirited with fun, these gentlemen are true entertainers who touched the hearts of everyone present. Some of our residents wept as they recalled special memories and days gone by while listening to old time gospel hymns. We also laughed as they taught us a tongue-twisting-tune that must be experienced to appreciate! It was truly a fun and spiritually uplifting evening for the residents as well as staff. We thank them and look forward to a future visit.

COUNTRY PRIDE BAND ENTERTAINS AT CKM

Music, dancing, socializing and fun was the name of the game last night at Christ the King Manor. Country Pride band came to perform after dinner and our residents couldn’t wait for them to get there. Regardless of when we call, these guys are always willing to haul their equipment here and put on a fantastic show. We so much appreciate their devotion to our residents’ happiness.

PIZZA PARTY !

Every other month or so the activities department makes homemade pizza for our residents. There is always room for a good slice of pizza or two after lunch! We are complemented as making the “best pizza ever!” by many of our residents…it’s a secret recipe that is affectionately guarded…but we’ll share it with anyone!

WINE AND CHEESE PARTY !

The activities department held it’s first “real” wine and cheese party today. It was a much-anticipated event and turned out to be a great success. We served wine from the Laurel Mountain Winery and beer, as well as Sparkling Juice Cocktail and NA beer. We also served cheese, crackers, strawberries and grapes. All of this coupled with great classical music and wonderful conversation resulted in a fantastic afternoon! We will be doing this again soon!
