LOVE IS IN

THE AIR!

Dearest Friends,

It’s February! Love is in the air - Amore!

This is an excellent excuse for extra hugs & kisses! I

hope everyone enjoyed a beautiful holiday season and

Happy New Year to all! So much has happened since

our last Newsletter, so let’s catch up!

Most of you know me as the “Lady at the front

desk.” Over the last two years, I came to know you &

your families. Now, I am honored to work directly with

my amazing Residents (a.k.a., your loved ones), in the

Recreation Department.

We begin each day with a tribute to wellness,

where we try to nourish our Mind, Body, & Souls with

stimulating exercises and explore what makes us “Feel

Good,” while swapping life stories.

Our activities include frequent visits to

“Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Hooray for Holly-

wood, and the Wonderful World of Disney.” The re-

markable memories we make transport us to a special

place in time where magical moments keep us happy,

peppy, and bursting with love!

In addition, there are many exciting trips and

activities being planned; Our Valentine’s Day Celebra-

tion, Numerous Musical performances, as well as, The

Resorts World Casino excursion! I hope you can join

us to make unforgettable

memories of your own!

News From

The Big Desk Recreation

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely summer

weather! The sun is shining, the grass is green, and recrea-

tion activates are headed outdoors! Obviously I’m kidding,

but at least thinking about warm days makes me just a little

warmer inside.

While this seems to be the coldest winter I can remem-

ber, things are heating up here at Birchwood. We are plan-

ning numerous new activities and exciting events that we will

unveil to everyone shortly.

Being that Valentines day is coming, I’d like to wish a

happy and healthy to all our lovely ladies (residents, families,

and staff included) here at Birchwood! We could not do what

we do without all of you.

Remember to stay warm, and

keep on smiling, because summer is

right around the corner. At least I

think so!
