After several residents came to me today asking about a particular menu item, I felt compelled to check it out.  Coconut Zoodle Soup sounds nice, right?  Dan Cobb was very busy preparing for the evening meal, but took the time to let me have a taste.  Refreshing coconut, chicken broth, lemon, cilantro, zucchini noodles, and a hint of curry paste are some of the flavors all working together making a delicious soup that is so appropriate for this breezy summer day!  I could go on and on about the amazing talent in the Ferris Hills/Clark Meadows kitchen, but today it's all about Dan Cobb and his Coconut Zoodle Soup!

Today we celebrated those who serve our residents with the greatest of care.  Our team of PCA's are the very best!  Several of our residents volunteered to serve ice cream to those who serve us.  This time, the PCA's were served and we served them first!  We honored them with special testimonials written by the residents along with artwork, and poetry.  Beth presented them each with certificates and they even paused to help a resident down the stairs making the moment even more special.  How fortunate we are to have this amazing team of care givers!

A visit with Bruce Smoller, MD, certified educator for both the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust and the Wine Scholar Guild

Dr. Smoller shared his passon for teaching about wine with Clark Meadows.  Our residents were enthusiastic participants as Bruce regaled us with his knowledge on wines from France and the various regions that produce the grapes that make the different varietals. It was a real treat for our residents and the staff were quite jealous.  The picture of Terry and myself was posed.  We did not imbibe!

Green Thumbs In Their Glory at Ferris Hills

When considering a move to an independent living apartment, some green thumbs wonder if they will have to give up gardening.  At Ferris Hills at West Lake, that couldn’t be further from the truth, and they couldn’t be happier.

In addition using to the senior community’s raised flower and herb beds, many residents fill their patios and balconies with an array of verdant plans, moving them in the winter to an on-site greenhouse.

Mary Bausch is among Ferris Hills’ green thumbs.  While her husband Bob maintains a vegetable garden and a strawberry patch, Mary winters geraniums in the greenhouse and in the past has used the raised beds that Bob and another resident built in Ferris Hills’ woodworking shop. She has also tried growing dahlias, with a little help from a fellow resident.

“I’ve never grown them before, but they’re beautiful, and they’re so abundant,” she says.

Sharing the bounty from his gardens is something Bill McGeary enjoys doing, too. McGeary, a retired Rochester Telephone accountant, moved to Ferris Hills from Honeoye.

A longtime gardener, he decided to try something a little different and planted Yukon Gold potatoes, along with tomatoes and gladiolus.

Sharing his fondness for gardening with other green thumbs is just one reason McGeary is enjoying living at Ferris Hills, where he has found new friends to play golf, poker and euchre with, not to mention the freedom to live life on his terms. “I love it,” he says.
