Our holiday wouldn't have been complete without all the usual traditions to get us in the spirit, and Colerain High School delivered. The school's talented carolers brought so much joy through our hallways as they treated residents and staff to seasonal favorites. The musical procession ended in our main dining room with a energetic performance of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", and we all enjoyed cookies and refreshments. Thank you Colerain High School!

We always enjoy a good party, so it's no surprise that everyone was looking forward to our 2018 Christmas party. And president of Liberty Health Care, Linda Black, certainly made sure we weren't disappointed. There was lots of fun, love and plenty of laughter. A delicious lunch was provided by Olive Garden and we had door prizes and raffles.Thank you Linda, it was a wonderful day and we appreciate all that you do!

One of our fun-time activities is bowling! It's always great for a group and a little healthy competition doesn't hurt. Regardless of the weather, we enjoy the benefits of physical activity, and plenty of laughs and smiles. How many other sports can you think of where you get to eat and drink while playing?

While the Fall weather is nice, we're trying to get out to breathe the fresh air and absorb the sunshine! This month residents chose to combine some shopping with a lunch outing. We enjoyed browsing at the Dollar Store and finished the day up with a delicious lunch at Burger King. Fries, juicy grilled burgers and milkshakes really hit the spot!

Participation in social and leisure activities plays an enormous role in resident quality of life and well-being. We encourage residents to engage in self-directed activities and hobbies, along with our diverse organized activities. But what makes our community feel like a family, are the meaningful relationships that develop between staff and residents. Who doesn't enjoy a friendly checkers challenge from time to time?

We had so much fun going to the last Reds game before fall sets in. We all sang "Take Me Out To The Ball Game". We all talked about how much fun we had. Some of us are real baseball lovers. We all can't wait until next season, at Opening Day. With so much excitement and enjoying the fresh air it was a great day. That what's it's all about.

We had fun when we sang Karaoke the other day, especially Don (shown in picture). The residents all have their favorite things to do and there are those who are a little hard to get to come out of their room. At Colerain, we try to do the unthinkable, so somebody said "Let's Sing" and off we go. We sang some oldies and goodies. Our favorite were songs by Elvis and Sammy Davis Jr.

Friendship goes a long way here at Liberty. As an example, we encouraged one another to come join the wine, cheese and music party. We listened to one of our favorite entertainers, Ray Heckman while enjoying some wine & cheese. We listened to some love songs, some Frank Sinatra and more. We all smiled and clapped to the music!

Meet Leesa Wittenstorm, Colerain's cheerful receptionist. She's the first person you see as you walk through our front door and always is ready with a friendly greeting and warm smile. You'll experience her sunny disposition whether you're visiting in person or calling on the phone. But Leesa is much more than a greeter for Liberty. She keeps us in order by also jugging

Each year, the Progressive Seniors Club hosts the Lucille Chenault Senior Ball. Cincinnati's version of the event was held at the Duke Energy Center. Lucille launched the first ball back in 1974 after an illness confined her to a nursing home and she personally experienced the challenges many seniors face. Her dream was to create an event where one day out of the year seniors could look forward to getting dressed up, socializing and interacting with each other. Our
