Come join us and learn all about the insects and spiders that inhabit

guys look like!

The Gardens

ThanksgivingA time for us to gather with

our friends and family as we

share a delicious meal with all

the fixings. It is also a time to

reflect and give thanks to the

many good things in our lives.

As a way to see and remember

all of those things we are

thankful for, we are going to

have a gratitude wall. This

wall will be set up in the

dining room all through out the month of November so that by

Thanksgiving Day, we can see all that we have to be thankful for!

Everyone from residents, staff and family can add to it! It is a simple

activity but can help us when we are having a rough day to see a

physical reminder of all the good around us! We will also be

celebrating Veteran's Day with a big ceremony at the Town Center

to say thank you to all of our service men and women. Thank you

from everyone at The Fountains for your dedication and service to

our country. We would not have as many things to be thankful for if

it was not for you and your comrades courage and strength.

Path to Well-BeingVocational Well-Being

Giving back is one of the most rewarding

gifts that someone can give. Each of us

have talents and passions that we can

share with not only within our

community but to the public as well!

Some ways that you can volunteer and

give back is by participating in our

Turkey Trot! We will be making sweet

treats to pass out to staff at all the

building here on campus. We also have

our new Buddy Bingo every second

Wednesday of the month. This is where

residents pair up and help each other

win prizes. It is also a great way to get to

know other residents from different parts

of our community! If you are interested

in any of these activities that focus on

our vocational well-being they will be

highlighted in gold in your calendar!

ThrivingWe have lots of talented artists living here! We try to provide lots of

opportunities for them to show case their talents with a variety of crafts.

One of our favorite things to do is to make these crafts into decorations to

display and be enjoyed by all. We painted pumpkins recently that turned

out amazing! Caregiver Valerie came up with the concept and help the

residents decorate their pumpkins to perfection! We also have our visual art

class with Nikki every Tuesday over at The Inn. We always make something

unique from necklaces made from paper beads to favors that we can pass

out at our parties and even purses. If you want a more laid back way to

express your creativity we also have our coloring therapy every Saturday.

There are always plenty of people to help you create your masterpiece so

don't be afraid to come and join in on all the artistic fun!
