Week in Review

We have been busy little beavers around CCV!  We kicked off October with BANG!   As we gather at the Cookie Monster Table to reflect over the week, we couldn't think of any better time to let the WORLD WIDE WEB know what we've been up to all week!

 

 

Monday's highlight was the kickoff of the new Tai Chi class that is being led by Kathy and Janet at the Oaklawn Center on Aging.  The class will continue each Monday at 11am.  We are focusing on Tai Chi for arthritis and the class can be completed from either a standing or a seated position.  Be sure to join us next Monday-you will be amazed by how well you feel afterwards!

 

Tuesday...oh, Tuesday...you were something special, weren't you?

 

We welcomed home Mr. Jeff Love.  Jeff was the Activity Director at CCV some 20-odd years ago.  He left CCV to become a professional Comedian.  He has worked on across the country on cruise ships, in comedy clubs and in casinos.  We were delighted to welcome him home!

 

Jeff was a riot!

He had us in stitches!

Who wouldn't want somebody to serenade them?  Well..you probably don't want a man in bright red lipstick and a pink feather boa singing to you if you WERE a man...but a serenade is a serenade!

Oh, my.

Mr. Art would have some explaining to do if Mrs. Irene had not been sitting right there!!

 

I wish that we had more pictures from Wednesday.  It was a GREAT day!  The Handbell Choir tried out two BRAND NEW songs-they were fabulous!  We are already plotting our Christmas Concert. 

 

After lunch we played our first round of LCR (Left, Center, Right).  Everyone brought a handful of nickels and we got to it!  We had 18 people playing!  JC was thrilled to walk away with a pot of over $3 in nickels! 

 

After LCR, the actors got together to practice the Resident's Play that will be hit the state on November 7th.  If you do not have plans, you should make it over the CCV!  That play will be an absolute riot! 

 

Then, we moved across the building to the Card Room to play a good ol' fashioned game of Pictionary!

Check out Lo's Dolly!

 

 

Thursday was our Senior Health Symposium. We spent the day focusing on our Health and Well Being.  

Chef Lee never fails to impress!  This was just a snack he made for us!   You should have seen the muffins!

Kim and Stacy had a smoothie bar running all morning.  We had all manner of Berries and Fruit-they were delicious!

Cheers!

Upstairs, Life Line Screening scanned over 76 Seniors with an ultrasound machine to check for any risk of blood clots or stroke.

 

We had health-focused vendors here, as well!  Mercy Hospital was even on hand to check blood pressure!

John from Gentiva was here!  We adore John!   Gentiva is a company that can assist with any in-home medical needs, everything from medication to therapy-IN YOUR HOME!  They are wonderful!

 

Friday just topped off the week!   We had exercise this morning, then played a good round of Bingo, headed downstairs for an amazing Catfish lunch, then went back upstairs to play The Price is Right!  Check out our big winners!

 

This week has just been wonderful.   We have all had so much fun!   And the best part is that it's not over yet!  Tomorrow, Mrs. Selma's grandson will be in town.  He hand carves wooden flutes and will be putting a concert right after lunch.  

 

Have a great weekend-we sure will!
