This December we will spread the holiday cheer here at The Gardens. Tis the season to be jolly! Although this year will feel very different than years past, we will make the best of it! Please reach out to the activity department to do virtual visits or to phone a loved one if needed, until our indoor visits resume. My email address is agerlach@thegardenscr.com. Closed window visits are always welcome with no scheduling needed. At this time group activities in Long Term Care are not allowed, to lessen the spread of Covid. The activity department is doing their best to provide all residents with one on one and independent activities.
This month is full of holiday crafts! We will start off the month making paper snowflakes and mittens to decorate the windows. We will upcycle tin cans to make some holiday décor. We’re making holiday themed wreaths to hang on our doors. We will be making a few items for gift giving this holiday season as well.
Some of our monthly discussions will be over The Nutcracker, A Taste of English Winter, Passionate about Poinsettias, Finish the Holiday Song Lyrics, Remembering Gift Giving, Short Story: Into the Spotlight, and New Year’s Resolutions
