Latest News from San Carlos Elms and Grove

I want to give out resident a "hand" at a job well done at Arts & Crafts yesterday afternoon. We had so much fun, talking about our families and the Giants. Let's do it again next week, but with a different craft.

Here is a closer view of the room, the cabinets, refrigerator, freezer and counter tops. Looking good. New granite tops to all the counters in the new lounge. So excited, can't wait to open for activities. The far wall you can see the new granite top and off to the left you can see two of the chairs we were debating on. One did win can you guess?

The first group of residents getting to see and feel just how easy it will be to chat with their families who do not live close by, thanks to a group of volunteers through Spirit Care. Sally is getting her first feel just how light an IPad really are. George and Estelle look intrigued by this new way of communication

It has been fun watching the room unfold right before our very eyes. New floors, new cabinets and new paint. now we can't wait for the new furniture!

Want to see you Grandkids who live far away? FamCam will bring video chat equipment to yo so that you ca video chat (see & hear) your family members who live far away. And it won't cost you a dime! Tell your family to look for "FamCam" on Facebook for information. They will be visiting San Carlos Elms this Thursday, July 21 at 7pm to demonstrate what video chat is like. If your family signs up on Facebook, they might be able to participate in the demo. (you'd be able to see them!)

Hope you enjoy the following pictures of our new Lounge in the making. It is coming together very nice. The cabinet on the back wall is new for our entertainment system.

Each resident made their own banner to either bring with them to the Giants game on August 3rd against the Arizona Diamondbacks or to cheer the Giants on from home every night for the rest of the season.
