The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much excitement?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

Reader’s Theater performed by The Players of Ontario County Arts Council put on a Spooktacular show last Sunday.

We were honored to welcome the group back for a second time and the audience was not disappointed! 

Our residents and members of the public enjoyed listening to the eerie tales and had a chance to win a selection of raffle prizes.

Funds raised support the OCAC scholarship and grant programs.  We look forward to hosting more great shows in the future.  

Gabe!

It was a beautiful evening, August 11th, for FunDay Friday as residents of Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows enjoyed a solo serenade by one of the Elderly Brothers, and Ferris Resident, Gabe Cinquegrana.  The music, all familiar to the 35+ people in attendance, lasted for 1 hour and brought back many memories.

Clark Meadows offers Short Stays

Imagine…a comfortable and friendly hotel-like setting where you enjoy chef-prepared meals in an elegant restaurant.

This is what is offered at Ferris Hills’ enriched living community of Clark Meadows through a “short stay” program. Individuals stay in a fully furnished apartment for as little as five days or as much as six weeks.

Linked to Ferris Hills by a common area featuring a café, convenience store, beauty salon and fitness center, Clark Meadows is for people who need assistance with daily tasks and perhaps medication monitoring. It’s an ideal option following recovery from surgery or illness, and was exactly what Ruth Murray of Naples needed during some rehabilitation a few years ago. She liked Clark Meadows so much, she’s making it her home.

“The food is good, the people are nice and they see to everything – do your laundry, clean your apartment and cook your meals. What more could you want?” she says, noting that she especially enjoys going on daytrips and taking walks with new friends. “I’m very happy here.”
