San Carlos Elms Activities for August 2013

San Carlos Elms Lunch Outing for July

Each month we enjoy an afternoon out on the town. Today we enjoyed the little things in life. Each others' company and how to have a GREAT time while waiting for your food. 

 

With the help of Jim below, Carolyn was able to enjoy her word search. 

Jim at work again retrieving another menu for Alyce. 

Alyce & Kathleen enjoyed a game of Tic, Tac, Toe before Alyce started to color. 

We all enjoyed our lunch out and are looking forward to our next lunch outing.

San Carlos Elms Enjoyed an Ice Cream Social

Yesterday we celebrated a warm afternoon in the whole building of San Carlos Elms by enjoying a bowl or a glass of ice-cream. We had all the fixing's, each resident enjoyed creating their own sundae with their friends around. It was a great afternoon of fun.

 

 

But, the fun didn't stop in the assistant side of San Carlos Elms they also had a great ice-cream social in our Memory program too.

Dinner Outing last night for San Carlos Elms

Each month during the Hot Harvest Nights in San Carlos we take the time to enjoy a nice walk down to Laurel St. enjoy the Famers Market. We enjoy the fresh air, the fresh fruit, the music, as we end our evening we enjoy a nice dinner at one of the local restaurants.  

 

 We surprised Carol with a birthday cake just a few days prior to her birthday.

 Happy Birthday Carol!

 

We had a great evening and we look forward to doing it again next month.

Nina loves hugs from the staff, our Activity Leader Ismary.

Her family came too! 

So did the Staff! 

Happy Birthday Alyce!!! And Many More!!!
