  • The residents and staff of Cedar Living Center spent the past week celebrating National Nursing Home Week and Hospital Week.  The nursing and activity departments started the week off with an ice cream social.  Residents and staff from all of the over facility enjoyed ice cream sundaes.  Toppings included bananas, hot fudge, strawberry syrup, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherries.  The sundaes were a big hit with everyone.
  • Alvina Gamblin won the first bingo on Tuesday afternoon and Darlene Fisher won the blackout game.  Residents and staff were invited to a birthday celebration following bingo in honor of James Plotts.  Jim and Carolyn Plotts served cake and ice cream.

  • The crafter group met on Wednesday afternoon to start working on decorations for Memorial Day. 
  • Stuart Euhus gave the Bible study lesson before supper on Wednesday.  Stuart donated several vegetable plants for our patio garden boxes. 
  • The dietary department hosted a facility wide potluck dinner at noon on Thursday.  Lynn Doeden and Amanda Fortin grilled up hot dogs for everyone, while staff members provided the salads and desserts.  There was a big variety of food available and no one left hungry. 
  • Thursday evening we had two hours of toe tapping good fun and special music provided by the Wagoner family. 
  • Friday was the last day of our week long celebration so we went all out.  John Juenemann gave us a special concert.  After the music ended we enlisted John’s help and put him to work as an auctioneer.  Staff members donated a variety of items for residents to bid on, including jewelry, snack foods, stuffed animals, wall decorations, and socks.  Residents earned points over the past two weeks by attending activities and by participating in special events, such as wear a hat day.  These points were traded for scrip money which could be used at the auction.  Marsha Morford volunteered as our auction clerk.  There were bidding wars on a few of the popular items, but everyone went home with something.  The dietary department provided fruit smoothies for a special treat. 
  • Dietary employee Erin Jeffrey was one of the students who stopped by before prom on Saturday night.  It is always a special treat to see everyone dressed up for prom.

  • Everyone enjoys having the occasional snack and the residents at Cedar Living Center are no exception.  The dietary staff members do a good job of making sure that our pantry area is stocked with juice, crackers, cheese, bread, milk, and other essestials so we are always prepared when someone gets hungry.  They also send out a snack cart several times during the week.  The cart is loaded with fresh fruit, jello, pudding, cookies, potato chips, soda pop, a variety of crackers, and much more.  Needless to say, the cart is a big hit with the residents and they look forward to seeing it parked in the hall.  The cart is often used to serve refreshments after a game or other activity.
