Our Residents Color the World with Love & Exceptional Talent!
Pablo Picasso once said, “Every child is an art-ist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” The residents at Brookestone Village have shown us how it’s done!
Life Enrichment has been incorporating art into many activities. One of the ways is with Music on Canvas. Residents listen to music and paint where the music takes them. It is a very relax-ing and positive experience.
Residents have also been trying to duplicate the works of Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. The results have been both inspiring and beau-tiful.
Artwork is hanging on display in the window of the Life Enrichment office. Please come down and check it out next time you are here!

We Accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! Brookestone Village got in on the recent social media craze to benefit ALS. Here are some snapshots!!
And the Beat Goes On
Drum therapy is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression, so we decided to make our own BSV Drum Circle. We don’t know if we made a lot of beautiful mu-sic, but we sure did have a good time trying. Chanting (and a few impromptu songs) could even be heard to the timing of the beat!
Pictured Above are Mary Rossbach and Marge Schram. Middle picture is Don Erlbacher and Ed “Ted” Phelps in deep concentration! Bottom right is Jean Herbi-son and Evelyn Fink.
Pictured top from left to right are Mary Rossbach, Marge Schram, and Doddie McCallum beating the drums!

Red Hat Radiance
The ladies are starting a tradition...meeting monthly for a luncheon prepared for them by our Chef, Craig Pospisil. They are encouraged to show up in their “finery” of feather boas, scarves, beaded necklaces, and of course a RED HAT!! The lunch is a time for food, fun, and fellowship. The emphasis must be on the fun, when the most common sound you hear during the meal is laughter! From left is Ida Constantino, Anne Zimmerman, Miriam Roza,
Doddie McCallum, Marge Schram, & Rita Giordano posing for the camera!

Clarkson CNA students came to join in the Bend & Stretch fun! The weather was so nice that we decided to move the exercising outdoors!

Everything Is Awesome...at Brookestone Village!
Brookestone Village participated in this year’s Millard Days Parade on August 23rd. The weather was sunny and hot which was perfect for the Ice Pops that we handed out! Our float theme was from the recent Lego Movie, “Everything is Awesome!” We had a Lego nurse and resident jamming to the lively music and waving to the crowd. We came away with FIRST place in the float division of the parade to make it a truly AWE-SOME day!
