On the Longest Day, June 20th, we celebrated our friends and family who have suffered from Memory Loss and touched us so deeply.  We miss them.  Our celebration included a butterfly release.  We look forward to the time when we can usher them into the next hallway and continue to love and care for them in our Memory Care Community.

"The Marathon Man"

For the past 20 years or more, our Marathon Man, has been walking for exercise.  Participating in the National Veterans Golden Age Games, he took home the gold in power walking!  After moving to Clark Meadows, he continued to exercise at the VAMC in Canandaigua, using the pool and also walking the track.  With the onset of Covid-19, his trips to the VA have been curtailed.  Not one to sit down for long, this gentleman started walking the halls and the nature path around the community, weather permitting. 

Residents and staff alike wanted to know how many miles he was walking.  With a pedometer attached, and a starting day of Friday, April 24th through Friday, May 1st, our Marathon Man, 88 years of age, completed 29 miles!  From our gold medal winner.....he states, " The whole idea is to encourage others to keep moving if they see me walking.  It's about keeping healthy in our community."
