Covid-19 has certainly thrown the world off track and we are all trying to adapt to a new (temporary) normal.  Ferris Hills is no different.  There is a different pace of life, but that does not mean it has all stopped.

Our community in-house channel has kept staff in communication with residents on a daily basis.  Residents are joining in with trivia, puzzles and competitions via paper submission with prizes being won.   Some have established new pen-pals with local children and students, others have worked on old hobbies.  Staff have helped set up Zoom, Skype and FaceTime calls with family and friends which has been a great education along with raising spirits. 

The Fitness Center is open for individual use, residents are taking advantage of the community trail, and a daily exercise program and stretch class are broadcasted to resident's apartments.  There is no excuse to stay still!

Although the dining room is closed the kitchen is open with the full menu and specials being offered for lunch and dinner with room service delivery.  Instacart is being utilized for grocery needs and our own driver is running errands along with family members to keep our residents out of the danger zone. 

We are looking forward to being together with family and friends, but know at the moment we are safer apart.  Remember we are one day closer to being back to normal.  Stay safe!
