The residents at Brookdale Rockefeller enjoyed our poetry writing class today. We learned about various types of poetry, then we split up into groups and wrote poems about Winter. The poems were wonderful!

Great turnout today for our bi-weekly yoga class at Stone Gardens Assisted Living. The senior residents learned some yoga moves to keep their bodies healthy, and some breathing and meditation practices to keep their minds and spirits at ease.

The senior residents at Schnurmann Place Apartments had lots of fun today. Lori led the group in laughter exercises that help to relieve stress, increase breathing, and put you in a great mood!

 We had a great discussion group today at Brookdale Rockefeller. We talked about the potential for stress in interpersonal relationships, and ways that we can reduce that stress. We reviewed ways that we can change our own thinking and behavior, as well as ways that we can communicate our needs to others. Each participant left with a personalized “action plan” for improving a particular personal relationship in their lives.

 The senior residents at the Warrensville Community Apartments learned tips for healthy cooking – recommended food servings and portions, as well as healthy snack suggestions. They learned how to cook in small portions, and how to use one ingredient several ways. We served healthy snacks as a great way to start the new year!
