Soup's On! Soup's On! All Delicious and All Homemade by Our Staff! KristenMeyer / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 0 5160 The Clark Meadows/Ferris Hills Kitchen staff set a high bar in the culnary department. They provide an excellent menu offering healthy delicious meals every day. In an effort to change things up a bit, the staff who do not work in the kitchen wanted to share some of their soup recipes with our residents. The residents were eager to taste and we were honored to have our head chef, Tony Cafarelli, sous chef, Dan Cobb, and long-time dining associate, Brittni Hewitt, come in at the end to critique our soups. They gave us all gold stars! The Soup Bar Lunch included Melissa's Tomato, Basil & Orzo soup, Beth's Butternut Squash, Kristen's Black Bean, Claire's Steak & Potato, Dave's Pasta Fagioli, Rebecca's Meatball Stew w/Orzo & White Beans, and Jenn's Stuffed Pepper Soup. Thank you all for helping with this Soup Bar lunch special. It was a success! Read more
Grandfriends! Grandfriends! KristenMeyer / Monday, January 13, 2025 0 3586 Children’s voices in our community are a welcome sound. Today, Grandfriends were here. Melissa, on our activities team, was ready with a flat snow globe craft for the kids and the Grandfolks to work on together. This group of homeschooled children has been coming here since our 4-H farm and tractor show that was held in the summer. Megan Miller and Jessica Manning are two of the mothers working with our activities team to coordinate these monthly visits. Last month they helped us build gingerbread houses. Megan said, “what’s not to love about working with sprinkles and now glitter!” She said the kids look forward to coming here. She has a child who is on the shy side and this experience has helped her blossom and to become more confident as she interacts with our residents. The smiles on our resident’s faces speak volumes. It is a win-win for both generations. The children’s ages range from 4 years to 17 years old. This is a gem of an activity brought to Clark Meadwos by our team of caring recreation planners.

Claire Watson / Tuesday, June 16, 2020 / Categories: Ferris Hills Events, Senior Living Community Events, Ferris Hills Blog Smell the Flowers... People move to Ferris Hills for a number of reasons but a zero maintenance lifestyle if probably top of everyone's list. When you have to clear leaves in the fall, remove snow in the winter and mow in the spring and summer the general upkeep of a property becomes a full time job. Being able to spend your days doing what you want to do is a huge perk. Playing golf or spending the day on the lake beats having to weed and water a yard....well, you would think, but the truth is some people miss having those chores and like to keep busy. We have a number of residents who love to be out watering the grounds, they enjoy planting a garden and tending to flowers and keep the community beautiful. From the hanging baskets on balconies to the raised beds and garden boxes, all are well kept and flourish. The bird sanctuary was newly planted, by residents, last year and will take time to establish but the array of wildlife it already attracts is remarkable and is such a pleasure to sit by. Woodpeckers, chickadees, mockingbirds and swallows are just a few of the many birds our residents have spotted. There is no shortage of wildlife within our 54 acres. A perfect setting for any lover of the outdoors. Previous Article Car Cruise Next Article Feel the Music! Print 29482
