Summer and Fall Fun at JGS Lifecare!

The end of summer at JGS Lifecare was filled with activities that kept our residents smiling and engaged, despite the soaring temperatures in the high 80s and 90s. Our Life Enrichment team made sure there was plenty of fun to go around, both indoors and out. And the fall weather has been beautiful!
Here’s an overview of highlights from the last few months:
Corn Shucking and Baking Cookies
Our annual corn shucking activity was a hit! There’s something so satisfying about peeling off the husk to reveal those golden kernels Since it was shucked by our residents, we think it even tasted sweeter! Homemade cookies were also in demand. Baking cookies from scratch brought back so many wonderful memories for everyone. The sweet aroma of freshly made cookies in the oven was simply irresistible!
Ladies Group Enjoys Healthy Refreshments
It’s great to see our Ladies Group continue to thrive, enjoying healthy fruits, vegetables and great conversation. There’s always a lot of shared joy and laughter.
Monthly Veteran’s Gatherings Continue
The camaraderie of our monthly Veteran’s gathering is heartwarming. Our residents cherish these moments to deepen friendships and share new stories each month.
Annual Hawaiian Night Luau a Festive Celebration
The Hawaiian Luau BBQ, an annual event, transported us to a Hawaiian oasis. Residents donned festive attire, enjoyed Hawaiian-themed decorations and foods. For music, everyone sang along to the lively tunes of Irving Lewis. A great time was had by all!
Rosh Hashanah Brings Families Together to Celebrate the New Year
Our Rosh Hashanah dinner was a beautiful celebration of the New Year. Families came together to celebrate and look forward to the year ahead.
STCC Students Learn and Give Back
Nursing students from Springfield Technical Community College paid us a visit. The group joined together with our residents to make a variety of artistic craft projects. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to gain hands-on experience, and for our residents to make new friends and express their creativity.
As fall unfolds, we eagerly anticipate the thanksgiving season and look forward to creating new and enriching experiences for our residents!
