A Virtual Christmas
This year , we will be experiencing Christmas a little differently . Due to COVID-19 , we are unable to have a family party like we have in the past . But we are not taking Christmas away from our ladies and gentlemen or our families .
We have decided to have a “ Virtual Christmas .” We ask that our families send their loved one a gift either in the mail or drop it off at our front office and we will set up a time for you and your loved one to open the gift up together , whether it be through Skype , Google Duo , Face Time , or Facebook Messenger . Please leave your name and phone number attached to the gift so we can call you to set up a time .
We are so sorry that we cannot have our annual party , but due to the CMS guidelines that we are mandated to follow , we are unable to at this time .

Countdown to Noon Party
Since hardly any of us stay up until the stroke of midnight on New Year ’ s Eve , our residents will be having a “ Countdown to 12 noon ” party on Dec . 31 . We will have our party in the dining room area , or if need be in our rooms .
Horns , hats and noisemakers will be provided . We may even have some non-alcohol sparkling grape juice .
Let ’ s Ring In 2021 in style !!!
