Latest News from San Carlos Elms and Grove

We all had fun pretending we were Mexican folkloric dancers yesterday. After the show we saw the previous day, we know how hard it is to dance. So, it was that much fun taking the pictures recalling the dancing we had seen. Boris and his wife Irene. Bill and his wife Carol. Tom and friend Margo. Tom and friend Nellie. George and friend Kathleen. Jamie and friend Alyce. Even the driver August and the Activity Director, Kathleen posed for a photo. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Cinco De Mayo!

We are so lucky to have one of our receptionists, Cindy Munoz and her family, come in and show off their Mexican heritage. The Residents loved seeing a traditional Mexican Folkloric Dance. The dancers all have been dancing for at least ten years and were wearing traditional outfits all made in Mexico. The Residents clapped along to all the dances and enjoyed learning the history of the costumes and dance. Cindy's cousin and brother Efrain. The Residents really enjoyed themselves. The Residents loved it when they could join in on the music. The dancers were great! Thank you Cindy for bringing them into our community. Hope to see you dancing next time.

Today was our first experience at Fortune House restaurant since it opened last month in San Carlos.  Wow, we were pleasantly surprised. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was delightful and the food was delicious.     Every Resident enjoyed their meal and said we are coming back to this restaurant again. Thank you Fortune House for a lovely outing!

Rabbi Hugh from Vistas Healthcare  came to San Carlos Elms this week to educate the Residents on the Holocaust. He also lead them in a memorial. Rabbi Hugh visits The Elms every month discussing various topics. We welcome Rabbi Hugh and thank him for sharing his heritage with our Residents.  

The Kiwanis Club did a fabulous job during this years theater production of Bright Lights of Broadway at Central Middle School . We saw music from Singing in the Rain, Phantom of the Opera, Westside Story, and even Seussical the Musical. We enjoyed every minute of the show, costumes, music, and singing were top rate! Congratulations Kiwanis Club!!!  

We had a wonderful visit yesterday from our favorite petting zoo . They brought their chickens, rabbits, turtle, goats, and even an alpaca. The resident, their family, the staff and their family had a great time. We enjoyed the animals and in the perfect weather too. Dorothy is enjoying the rabbit. Nellie is enjoying it too. Regina likes rabbits. Anne does too. It was nice seeing so many family members come out for this visit. Bobbe enjoyed watching the kids as much as the animals. Caroline loved asking questions on all the different animals. Bill was surprised that they all came in one van. Renate was in heaven. So was her husband Edmund. Margo never wants to let go of the rabbit. Carol loved seeing all the different kinds of animals. We had a lot of people and animals. Luckily we had shade for the animals on this hot day.  Thank you Little Explores Petting Zoo for making it a memorable day!
