Wrapping up 2022!
December 29, 2022
As 2022 comes to an end, we want to take a moment to look back at all the fun times we’ve had with our residents this year. We made sure to cherish the small and big moments, whether they were just with our residents or if they were with their families and friends too. Filling the year with activities, outings, entertainers and more that we know our residents will love is so important in maintaining a great quality of life. A big thank you to each of our departments for putting our residents' needs first and spreading our Culture of Care.
It’s very important to us to make sure our residents continue partaking in experiences and activities they have enjoyed throughout their lives. For some of our residents, that includes going shopping, to the zoo, to the movies, to a Reds game, or enjoying other sporting events. Who says you can’t do those things while residing in a nursing home? We were able to give these enjoyable experiences to our residents through our facility outings this year. While we weren’t able to make an outing to Los Angeles to see the Bengals play in the Super Bowl, we did have a special tailgating party and watched the game on the big screen at the facility. The excitement of the game brought back fond memories for some residents who were able to attend the game the last time they played in the Super Bowl.
Since our residents love live entertainment so much, we made sure to schedule a variety of performers throughout the year. Dancing, singing and laughter filled the halls of Florentine Gardens thanks to Tim Goldrainer (AKA Goldie), who shared his gift of music with us. He is a resident favorite!
Many other fun activities made this year fly by. Bingo is always a favorite at Florentine Gardens, the residents played religiously twice a week. We introduced many new games, such as bocci ball, croquet, putt-putt and frisbee golf. Our residents love being competitive as they playfully fight for a “win” in every game played. Stay tuned as more new games are in the works for 2023!
As we look back at what a memorable year 2022 was, we notice the one thing every activity or outing had in common. We were all able to be together. Both staff members and residents got to participate in these experiences together and in many ways, have given opportunities for our caregivers to bond with our residents. There is no way to measure the appreciation and love they share for each other. We look forward to making new memories in 2023!
