Celebrating Our PCAs with Sundaes and Gratitude Celebrating Our PCAs with Sundaes and Gratitude KristenMeyer / Wednesday, June 11, 2025 0 4335 Today, we had the joy of celebrating the incredible Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) who care for us with such compassion, patience, and grace. These quiet heroes show up every day with helping hands and open hearts - and today, we had the chance to return the favor in a small but sweet way. Residents turned the tables and rolled up their sleeves to scoop ice cream and add toppings for our beloved aides. With laughter, strawberries, and plenty of whipped cream, we served up sundaes as a heartfelt thank-you to those who so faithfully serve us. it was more than just a treat - it was a moment of connection, appreciation, and community.Thank you, PCAs, for the care you give and the kindness you show. You make all the difference! Read more

A Journey to New Zealand through the memories shared by Jane Kinyoun! A Journey to New Zealand through the memories shared by Jane Kinyoun! KristenMeyer / Monday, May 26, 2025 0 1314 At Clark Meadows we have been doing a travel series hightlighting a different country each month. This May, we are exploring Australia and New Zealand. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to hear from one of our own, Jane Kinyoun. Jane had a second career that spanned 15 years working as a tour guide throughout Australia and New Zealand. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable adventures. It took some coaxing, but she agreed to allow us to shine a spotlight on her. She shared her stories and told us all kinds of interesting tales about life as a tour guide and the wonders of New Zealand. We tasted kiwi fruit and Marmite on crackers! The New Zealand wine made the marmite go down a little easier. It just so happened to be a Constellation wine made in New Zealand (always fun to have a local connection). It was interesting to hear from one of our residents about all the unique aspects of a country far away. Her pictures were fun, seeing her in her younger years taking care of all the tourists. She had interesting tidbits in her presentation about the kiwi bird, the kea bird, the NZ possum, winding roads with beautiful vistas, helicopter rides over the the glaciers, and bungie jumping! When a resident shares their experiences we all are enriched! Thank you Jane! Read more
KristenMeyer / Wednesday, December 28, 2022 / Categories: Ferris Hills Events, Senior Living Community Events, Ferris Hills Blog Holiday Dinners at Ferris Hills Elbow Dinners Every year we gather small sections of the community (we call them 'Elbows') and host a special holiday dinner. Each elbow has their private night of celebration in Rayburn Hall. Our Chefs go all out designing their menu and the halls are decked for the occasion. It is a special gathering of neighbors and friends. We cherish these moments. These pictures invoke for me a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson....."Behold our family here assembled. We thank you for this place in which we dwell, for the love accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth we give thanks."
