The weather was a scorcher, but that didn’t stop us from heading outside and soaking up some summer fun! Our amazing therapy and activity departments teamed up to double the fun—and double the water! What better way to beat the heat than with flying water balloons, squirting water guns, and the sound of laughter echoing through the air? Even residents who chose to stay dry had a great time watching all the splashing excitement. Later in the day, we continued cooling off by enjoying some ice cream cake as we celebrated all of our wonderful residents with June birthdays. It was truly a day to remember, full of smiles, sunshine, and a whole lot of fun. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again in the near future!

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her, we’d love to introduce a very special lady—Judy! She has been part of our Liberty Nursing Center of Mansfield family for the past couple of years. Judy is present at every activity—we can always count on her to show up ready to have a good time and lens a hand to her fellow residents. Her talents are many, from being a cornhole enthusiast to helping keep our bulletin boards neat and welcoming.
One of our very special residents was able to go home this week after being with us for over two years. When CC first came to Liberty Nursing Center, she needed assistance with all her activities of daily living. She required help with bathing, feeding, transferring from bed to chair and back, making and receiving calls, and many other daily tasks. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, the incredible support from our therapy department, and—most importantly—CC’s own grit and determination, she overcame obstacle after obstacle on her journey toward independence. That hard work paid off, and she is now able to return home to live with a loved one.
Upon admission to Liberty Nursing Center of Mansfield, Carolyn was unable to complete ADLs and functional tasks independently. Carolyn completed multiple therapeutic goals within first week of arrival, demonstrating safety and independent during stair navigation, dressing and toileting tasks with FWW for support. She was able to complete Home Safety Evaluation with efficiency and safety awareness. After completing therapy, Caryolyn was able to return home with no restrictions and able to confidently care for herself independently. Way to go, Carolyn!
