Tuesday was a busy day here at Liberty Nursing Center of Mansfield.  We started the day with cardio drumming.  The residents worked hard to stay on beat and managed to keep their smiles while working up a sweat!  After some gentle stretching, we put away our drumsticks and grabbed our gardening gear as several residents enjoyed planting flowers for Earth Day.  Each resident planted a flower or two to keep in their rooms.  We had enough flowers left over to plant in a window box.  Fortunately, we have a couple gentlemen who are very knowledgeable about anything relating to gardening who advised and helped us with this project.  We sure were thankful for the help!  Later that day, Tamara and YAHanna came to visit.  They visited some residents in their rooms and then stopped in to see our ladder ball group in action and say hello.  They’re joyfulness is contagious and they were a perfect way to end a wonderful, fun filled day!  We are thankful for these special moments creating lasting memories.

Our residents on the memory care unit had a fun-filled Friday.  We spent some time taking care of the babies.  The ladies showered the dolls with love and chose cute outfits for them to wear.  Our administrator, Angel, stopped in to say hi to everyone and spread some cheer.  She and Bonnie made quite a duo with their color coordinated outfits! We all thought they looked pretty spiffy! One of our favorite things to do on the memory care unit is play balloon volley, it’s always a good day when we have time to squeeze in a game! We managed to do so before lunch today and we all had a good time.  Shayla from OT came in and walked a couple ladies to the dining room and took the time to sit and chat with some of the ladies.  They appreciated her socializing with them before their meals arrived.  It’s always good to end the week on a high note and I think we did just that!
