If a resident is going to be absent for a meal, however, the staff must be again notified. A monthly activity schedule is available to inform residents and families of activities which have been planned. Birthdays, anniversaries, and special outings are planned, weather permitting. Monthly happenings include Friendship Night and Resident Council meetings. Volunteer groups, such as the Old Time Fiddlers, also come to the Care Home to entertain the residents.
All residents are welcome to attend.
The Handi-Van, owned by the Care Home, is available to the residents and their families, and this van has the convenience of being equipped with a wheelchair lift. The front and rear entrances to the Care Home are wheelchair accessible. As a part of the Activity Program, the Special Care Home provides transportation to and from outings planned by the staff. However, transportation for outings and appointments arranged by family members is the responsibility of the family. Smoking is permitted by residents only in a designated area of the Special Care Home, but no smoking is permitted in residents' rooms.
