Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

Soup's On!

All Delicious and All Homemade by Our Staff!

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!

Spirits are still high!

Spirits are still high!

Spirits are still flying high at Ferris Hills and our residents are making this the place to be during Covid-19! 

When Claire Watson, Resident Services Manager, sent out a message to residents about doing 'Spirit Week' we were not too sure how it would go...but we were very happy to see so many people join in on the fun and have a giggle.  Monday started with crazy hat/hair (very easy to do these days), Tuesday was anything animal, Wednesday people wore their favorite color, Halloween made an appearance on Thursday and Friday was fancy/formal. 

Social distancing is becoming the new norm with people staying 6-ft from one another and wearing the latest trendy mask when needed.  

Our gazebo area is ready for the nice weather with the patio furniture spaced out and the flower boxes ready for planting.  We just need Mother Nature to jump on board and give us a break.
