KID'S DAY 2016

This year's Kid's Day was another great success.  So many of our "Kids" look forward to it every year.  We love having t hem back and always look forward to meeting new friends each year. 

AUGUST CRAFT PROJECT - MONOGRAM LETTERS

Our residents were enthusiastic and worked diligently during August's "craft day."  They were given a purchased letter and picked out decorations from a variety of craft supplies to create their own special monogram.  Many residents look for craft day on the activities calendar each month and they can be sure that the activities staff will come up with something creative, manageable, and something they can be proud to take home.  Septembers craft will definitely have something to do with a pumpkin!

CKM RESIDENT COUNCIL IS A MODEL FOR OTHER FACILITIES

Dorrie Taylor from the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsmen was a special guest at our August resident council meeting.  Dorrie is working on a training video to assist other facilities on developing a  resident governed council.  Christ The King Manor was selected after Nina Davis, Community Services Supervisor for Clearfield County Area Agency on Aging, was invited to one of our monthly meetings and was impressed by how well our residents were engaged at the meeting.  The training video will be used throughout the state of Pennsylvania and we hope to be showing it at our next resident council meeting.

BEST FRIENDS

Mildred Bloom and Grace Milliron became roommates after the nursing staff noticed how much time they spent together living across the hall from one and other.  Never knowing each other prior to a hospital visit, they quickly became close, inseparable friends. They attend activities together, play cards together in their room, visit with family members together, enjoy the musical entertainment together.  They also share family events and are pictured below  celebrating Grace's 95th birthday.  What a blessing to find a best friend when you are in your eighties and nineties.

GREAT PUMPKIN!

Sue Gray, Nursing Assistant, planted pumpkins this year in our courtyard and is pictured with one of her monsters!  Activities will use it in their fall displays and then carve it for Halloween.  

Thanks Sue!
