Boy did we have a blast celebrating the wonderful ladies here at Liberty Nursing Center of Mansfield! We celebrated those of us who are mothers and all the other women here who have loved, nurtured, and led by example throughout their lives. The ladies on the memory care unit started the fun by making floral wreaths. We enjoyed coming up with beautiful color combinations and reminiscing about flowers we have planted in the past, as well as all the Mother’s Day bouquets we have received over the years. We talked about how our mothers “pieced” us together and made us whole (just as one would when doing a puzzle one piece at a time) with their loving and nurturing hearts and made a craft to display as we chatted. Later in the day, we enjoyed a “Ladies, You’re a Gem” themed Mother’s Day social for all the women. After enjoying a meal together, all the ladies in attendance received a compact mirror to decorate with rhinestones. Some of the bling ended up on other things as well! These ladies truly are gems! All of us here at Liberty feel privileged to be a part of their daily lives and appreciate the shining, gem-like uniqueness and beauty they bring to our facility.

He demonstrated generalized weakness and decreased functional task capacity prior to starting therapy. After initiating therapy, James demonstrated increased strength, thought organization, and balance. He completed Home Safety Evaluation with Modified Ind using FWW for support when navigating home. James successfully reached his therapy goals and was able to return home in a safe and prepared manner to continue Independent Living. Way to go, James!

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.
