Staff Helping with Resident Moral

One of our Personal Care Attendants (P.C.A), Dora has done a great job helping the Residents feel better during this difficult time of quarantine.

Dora made sure both her and the Residents were wearing masks while she cut & styled their hair. 

The Residents wanted to take the photos without the masks.

We want to make sure Amparo knows that we miss her and can't wait to have her back here in the Salon. 

 Velma was grateful for the hair style from Dora.

 Ruth was happy to have her hair cut.

 Pat felt a boost of energy when she had her hair done.

Bessie felt that she was now camera ready for her video chat with her family.

Thank you Dora for all your hard work and dedication during this time.

Carlmont High School Letters

Students from Carlmont High School came together to send our Residents letters, via email of what they have been doing and are doing during the quarantine.

The letters were a reminder to our Residents that they are not alone during this time.
Thanks to the students at Carlmont High School our Residents know that people are thinking about them.

Enjoy the some of the moments caught on camera when the staff delivered the students letters.

 

Thank you Carlmont High School Students for putting smiles on our Residents faces during this time.

National Poppy Day

Today our Residents enjoyed receiving a poppy from the American Legion Auxiliary along with facts about the poppy and poetry. Thank you to the Auxiliary for making our Residents so happy this National Poppy Day.

The Residents who served in the military enjoyed a special treat from Kindred Hospice. 

They brought each of our Residents who served a letter from Sgt. Arce and a poem for Americans who served.

Please enjoy some of the moments caught on camera.

 This is a sample of what our Residents received today. 

This Memorial Day, thank you to artist Jerry Nunes for creating such a powerful reminder of the men and woman who did not return home to their families.

4-H Car Parade

Our local 4-H group, 4 H 4 Service put on a parade this past weekend.

 The purpose of the parade was to acknowledge and celebrate the work of essential workers in the community.

 They also stopped by the homes to celebrate 4 H community leaders who play a key role in their club.

San Carlos Elms was happy to be on their parade route.

 The staff enjoyed seeing all of the messages of love and support from the 4H.

Some of the staff were able to step outside and enjoy the parade that was for them and all of their hard work and dedication

Thank you 4-H for putting together a fun parade for all the essential workers in our community.

Staying Busy Here

Thank you to Spirit Care, Rev. Sue Ann Yarbrough for sending our Residents weekly prayers. It is helping to keep their spirits up. The Elms added a coloring passage with each weekly prayer.

We look forward to seeing all of our spiritual leaders again.

Joyce is one of many Residents who enjoy the weekly prayers. Thank you!

We are so lucky to live in a time where we can utilize technology to stay in touch with family and friends.

 Alyce had a great time talking withe her family.

Helen was so happy to see her daughter.

 Sue and Bob became friends years ago when Bob moved into The Elms.
