The Red Hat Ladies at ML Wichita enjoyed a pizza party in the courtyard today. The Red Hat Society is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but is now open to women of all ages. Its main purpose is to provide women with opportunities for pleasant social interaction, both for reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. Pizza and friends - that makes for a great day!
We love to celebrate exciting milestones and victories! At ML Leavenworth staff and friends joined this special lady for a Free At Last luncheon to congratulate her on fighting the battle and completing her treatments like a champ!

One of the cool things that resident artists at Leavenworth do is display their works of art in the dining room after each Paint and Sip Activity. We have some really talented folks who help decorate the facility. A big thank you to staff nurse, Ashley Plummer, who shares her teaching skills each month during the activity.

Julia “Hurricane” Hawkins took up running at age 100. “As I get older, I feel like I only have so many 100-yard dashes left, and I don’t want to waste them in practice,” she said.Today is the summer solstice - the day when the sun has reached its highest position in the sky and the day with the longest period of daylight. Each June on this day the Alzheimer's Association hosts - The Longest Day Event - where thousands of people fight the darkness of Alzheimer's by Shining a Light on Alzheimer's Awareness.

Today is National Martini Day! The exact origin of the martini is unknown,but it is credited to a New York City bartender named Martini di Arma di Taggia who began serving a cocktail made with gin, vermouth, orange bitters and and olive garnish.
At Medicalodges Nevada residents celebrated Martini Day with Chocotinis.... shaken, not stirred.
It just wouldn't be a celebration without cake! Father's Day cupcakes at Nevada made for a great afternoon!

Medicalodges Independence has been celebrating CNA week with some great activities! Massage anyone?! Thank you to Lesley Stringer, massage therapist, for pampering our aides with mini massages! Management "popped" by to thank our aides with a popcorn bar and everyone knows that CNAs are the superheroes in our facilities! Thank you to each of our CNAs for the great work you do to help us achieve our mission - serving and enhancing the lives of others with your caring hands!
#cnasaresuper, #cnasrock
You all are the heart and soul of our facility. Thank you for all you do.
That's awesome!
CNAs work so hard are need to be praised and appreciated. I know my husband appreciated everything they did to help him although he didn't remember very often to say thank you. Thank you for all you for the residents and their loved ones. It takes a special person to be a good CNA

The beauty of community is that when hard times hit, friends come together. Cherry McCabria moved to Medicalodges Eudora after the devastating loss of her longtime farm home during the historical tornado that destroyed her home as well as the homes of many of her neighbors in Linwood, Kansas. The Ladies of Linwood sponsored a fundraiser for the tornado victims. Our sweet Cherry purchased 18 pies to share with her Medicalodges friends to enjoy. THANK YOU CHERRY!
