Senior community staff acknowledged on National Assisted Living Week

Senior community staff acknowledged on National Assisted Living Week

It was Thursday afternoon about 2:45 pm and the staff in the entire community were called to Clark Meadows for another presentation.  Standing socially distanced along with many residents, the following was presented by Jody Wilbur, Lifestyle Coordinator.

"During these trying times over the past 6 months, the team....our staff, has been outstanding.  Keeping all of us out of harms way with safety precautions, sanitizers, masks, locked doors, etc.  They have shown us kindness, patience, humor and love.  This is National Assisted Living Week and there is no greater staff or group of friends than what we have here at Clark Meadows and Ferris Hills.  Today is heart day and as poet Maya Angelou once said, " I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."  The real heroes are all around us here today.  You all deserve a heart award today.  You are our heroes and we thank you for all you do for us."

Each staff person then received a heart award for 2020 from Margaret or Al; two of our residents at Clark Meadows.  A special afternoon for all!

The History of Roseland Park

September marks the 40th anniversary of Roseland Park closing.  Today, Ben Falter, from the Ontary County Historical Society, put together a presentation on the History of Roseland.  These posters will be on display in our Garden Cafe for the month of September.  We try to have a new exhibit every month.

Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows Men's Group enjoys presentation by Tom Mees on Sonnenberg History

Ferris Hills resident Tom Mees recently gave a fascinating presentation on the history of Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park to our men's group.  With a deep appreciation for local history and a true gift for storytelling, Tom had the audience captivated by his knowledge of this local gem.

In addition to sharing historical insights, Tom enocuraged anyone interested in volunteering at Sonnenberg to get involved - help is always welcome!

One interesting question came up during the discussion: How did Sonnenberg get its name? Tom explained that "Sonnenberg," meaning Sunny Hill in German, was the postal name of the property when it was purchased.  Fittingly, the estate sits at the crest of Fort Hill Avenue.

Tom also shared the story of how Fred and Mary Thompson met: at Mary's father's farewell banquet ball in Albany, NY.  At the time, her father was serving as Governor of New York State.  It was love at first sight.  Just six months later, Fred and Mary were married in the Clark family home, located behind the United Church on Gibson Street.
