San Carlos Elms takes time to Remember a Resident

Grace Johnson lived in San Carlos Elms for the past 6 and half years. She passed away August 16th at the young age of 98. Grace didn't want a memorial service she wanted a celebration of her life, so that is exactly what her family, friends and staff gave her at San Carlos Elms.
The Johnson family provided all the fixings for a great celebration; cake, drinks and stories. The staff provided pictures to show on the television screen of Grace's 6 and half years here. The Residents couldn't stop talking about how well Grace was loved and will be missed.
Thank you Grace for being apart of our lives.

Happy National Dog Day from San Carlos Elms

We want to take this day to honor our house dog Curley. He brightens up every Residents day as shown below.
Marilyn is enjoying her one on one time with Curley.

Curley even enjoys taken part in our Friday salon days in our Memory Program.

When we have visitors Curley makes sure to introduce himself and let the other animals know that they are in a welcoming environment.

Curley is so loved he even had his portrait done by one of our visiting volunteers.
 
Thank you Curley for all that you do for our Residents and staff. We appreciate you!

San Carlos Elms salad bar, shown below, was being replaced by a new salad bar. However their was nothing wrong with this one. It was still in good shape. Their had to be someone out there that needed a salad bar for something, and their was. First Baptist Church San Carlos needed a salad bar for their summer program and we were there to give it to them. 
 
Happy to find a home, sad to see it go.

Sharon and her driver picked it up after we made sure it was clean as new.

Root Beer Float Day at San Carlos Elms

It was another hot day here in San Carlos. What better way to cool off than with a cup of root beer floats.
 
Mabel & Jim enjoyed their sugar free, diet root beer floats.

Looks like Alyce might had a little too much sugar in her float.

Norine sipping her float ever so elegantly.
