As I look out and realize where we are in the time of year, it makes me realize there is definitely an element of truth in the old saying” time goes faster the older we get’. Now this is coming from a person who can often be heard saying” age is just a number in your head”. But somehow it does creep up on us, doesn’t it?

This month, I wanted to include a couple photos of our newly opened Memory Care Unit where we welcomed new residents in July. The 18 private spaces offer 24/7 care and assistance for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other mental impairments which affect their daily living and engagement with friends and family. This safe and secure environment offers families peace of mind and affords a bright and compassionate home for your loved ones. Our hearts and doors are open to welcome those in need and we are so pleased “ the big yellow house” is serving another need in our community. Staff can easily provide the contact numbers and direct families in how to initiate the process for an assessment to be done through Social Development. The process is not usually a lengthy one barring any unusual circumstances.

A shout of thanks to the Maintenance and Housekeeping staff in particular as we experienced 9 move ins on the private side of our home over and above the movement in both our Level 2 and Memory Care and we have 3 coming up that I know of in October. These moves cause extra work for those departments, in particular,  getting everything ready and cleaned. I appreciate every one of them.

I will keep my article shorter so I can include the photos but do want to wish each and everyone a perfect “fall experience”. Until next time…..
