March 2019 Activities

Winding up February Activities

Mayor Visit

 The Residents were excited to see Mayor Mark Olbert and hear all the new things happening in San Carlos.

We are so grateful for Mayor Olbert to take time out of his busy schedule to come see our Residents.

 Mayor Olbert does a wonderful job at keeping our Residents informed about what is going on in San Carlos.

Music & Motion

 Thanks to our Friends from the San Carlos A.C.C our Residents enjoy some exercise accompanied by music and dance.

 The Residents love all the songs from their generation to exercise too.

Laughter Yoga

 Thanks to our friends from Care Indeed we are laughing happily with our Laughter Yoga Instructor Annie.

Laughter Yoga combines unconditional laughter with Yogic Breathing.

Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific face that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.

 Annie is wonderful at getting all of our Residents in touch with their fun side.

Annie had so much fun with our youngest at heart, 102 years young Bob.

 Caroline is a faithful Laughter Yoga attendant and said she always encourages other Residents to attend.

Xylophone Performance

 Dan put on a fantastic performance for our Residents. What talent!

Blackjack

 Activity Assistant, Ashley always has a lot of laughs and great stories with the Residents during blackjack.

San Carlos Library Visit

 The San Carlos Library asked our Residents to join in on a community conversation to gather Residents input on how we can better serve The Elms.

San Carlos Library is always helpful and supportive to our Residents.

 Thank you to Branch Manager, Alexandria and Librarian, Rhea for taking the time out of the busy schedule to talk with our Residents and get their feed back.
