Grandfriends! Grandfriends! KristenMeyer / Monday, January 13, 2025 0 3599 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.

The True Meaning of Christmas The True Meaning of Christmas KristenMeyer / Friday, January 3, 2025 0 7822 Since the beginning of December, so much has happened at Clark Meadows. It was hard to keep up with our activity’s coordinator and her team. They planned so many wonderful activities and events. The magic of the holidays was brought to Clark Meadows in a special way this year with this new team of creative energy. We have our fun traditions at Clark Meadows, but every year there are moments created that make each year memorable. It is a time where we do miss those who aren’t with us anymore, but with the help of our activities team we created a lot of busyness, but most importantly joy. Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve. On December 24th some of us gathered for a candlelight service. Residents from Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills participated with readings and musical performances. We turned on our battery-operated candles as we sang the closing hymn, Silent Night. It reminded me of candlelight services I attended as a child, but this one was different. This community touches me as I’m sure it does many of our staff. The kindness, beauty, and truth that we experience from our elderly give us courage to face life cheerfully. It is a privilege to work here and participate in the daily lives of our residents. I took that candle with me that night and it lighted my way home. Read more

The passion that comes out in their playing draws everyone in and you can't help but tap your foot and sing along. We could listen to them play all day, everyday.
