What's New?
Last week we celebrated Earth Day with an activity packet and a gardening activity. Each resident was able to choose the seeds they wanted to plant. We are excited to see all the flowers bloom - check out the progress above!
We will be celebrating our wonderful nurses starting Thursday, May 6th and ending May 12th for Nurse Appreciation Week. We would love to share notes of appreciation and thanks to our nursing staff and nurse manager. If you would like to share a special note to our nursing team, please send an email to me (dnotaro@weinbergcampus.org) and copy in Jeanne Harmor (jharmor@redpursemarketing.com). We will be asking residents for positive comments as well and will share with nurses on the 12th. We plan on having some special activities each day and will be sharing photos in our family letters.
Last week we celebrated Deb, our Office Coordinator, on Administrative Professional’s Day and thanked her for all she does for our team and our residents. Thank you, Deb!

We will be spending much more time outside when the weather is nice. We recommend sending in hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen for your loved ones.
In the last few weeks we sent out a letter about Family Choice. We hope you are considering this program, which officially starts May 1st. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
