NEVER TOO OLD!

Angele Stott is 95 years old and still cutting hair!  Fran Rosanna confidently agreed to let Angel cut his hair and it sure boosted her spirits.  She snipped and sprayed and carefully examined his hair while she worked. The quality of her work and entertainment value was an enthusiastic thumbs up!  Angele owned her own beauty salon called Stott's on main street in Brockway and she worked there well into her eighties.  

ARTS FESTIVAL

Millie Sebring and Agnes Keibler were recently entered in a Creative Arts Festival held by the Pennsylvania Activity Professional Association.  The judging will be held in early September and announcements will be made at the 2013 PAPA conference on September 9.  We wish them luck!

FRINGE BENEFITS

You never know what you will find when you walk in the therapy room but you can be sure everyone in there is having fun while they work...residents and staff!  Tom Levenduski is pictured enjoying a back massage from Bernie Haag. 

OT IS FUN!

 Occupational Therapist Trish Hopkins and Joanne Clontz are all smiles after successful training on Joanne’s new electric scooter.  Trish is expertly skilled at recognizing our residents’ highest potential  for maximum independence.  Her patient and calming disposition is key in encouraging them to meet their goals.  

 

JEWELRY AUCTION

We receive a lot of donations at CKM and enjoy having monthly yard sales as a fun way for our residents to  "get the goods!"  In June we started a new way of giving our residents the fabulous jewelry that is donated.  We had our first "Jewelry Auction" where our residents could earn tickets to trade in for a piece of jewelry.  It was so fun and so successful we have another one scheduled for July.  

Joan, Robin, and Tonia help Gloria Pounds pick out a ring. 

 Joan helps Doris Frantz try rings on for size.

LOCAL GIRL SCOUT TROOP HELPS PLANT FLOWERS

Kelly Pontius, a three year employee in the nursing department, brought her Girl Scout troop to CKM to assist the residents planting flowers. They earned a badge while doing so and the flower boxes they planted in were built years ago as an Eagle Scout project. So this truly illustrates the personal and community benefits of scouting.  The residents had a great time watching the young girls hard at work. 

401 NORTH 4TH STREET BAND

We welcomed new entertainment at Christ The King on June 11.  Frances Lingenfelter and the 401 North Fourth Street Band played and sang country music.  Great entertainment from some great folks!  We will look forward to their next visit.
