Thank you…

Winter Wonderland Week

We would like to thank
everyone who helped make this
past Christmas season a special
and memorable one for all of our
residents. A special thanks to all
the staff, families, churches and
voluntary organizations who have
donated presents and time to our
residents and facility.
We are very fortunate to have
such giving and caring people in
our community. We are grateful
for everything you have done. The
residents and staff of Colonial
Springs Healthcare Center really
appreciate your support. Thank
you all very much!
—Patrice, Kelly and Lori

Let the snow fly! We don’t care because we will be
having a Winter Wonderland Week Jan. 27—31. All
week long our activities will revolve around winter
and snow. We will be visiting the North Pole, creating
a wintry dish, have a winter tea party, make a snowman light and toss a few snowballs. You never know
what kind of trouble we can find on those cold, wintry
days.
Come on out and join the fun. Watch the daily
Chatter Box for an updated schedule of events during
our Winter Wonderland Week.

month, by traveling back in
time to the 1950s.
We will reminisce about the
movies, cars, life styles, sports
and popular television shows
of the 1950s. We will even
play our version of television
game shows like What’s My
Line? and The Price is Right.
Do you remember how to do
the hula hoop? To celebrate
the year of the hula hoop, we
are going to try and see if we
can still keep the hoop going.
That should be a sight!

Skype is an instant
video on the Internet
where family members can
actually see and talk to our
residents. Colonial Springs
is now set up for this computer service.
This program is beneficial for families who live
out of state and cannot
come visit with their loved
one.
“We are very excited to
have Skype at our facility.
It will help bring families
together even if they are
1,000 miles away,” says
Chelsey Henderson, social
service director.
If you would like to learn
more about this new
program, contact Chelsey
