Upcoming Events at Grace Cypress and in Our Community

The month of May brings many special events to celebrate. A copy of our activity calendar is available in the activity room and at the receptionist desk. Please encourage your loved one to look over the calendar and participate in activities that they enjoy.

The Family Council of Grace Care Center will meet Saturday,

May 5^th in the Activity Room at 10:00 am. The Family Council will assist family members and promote the health and happiness of the residents.

If you have a sweet tooth you may want to join your loved one on Monday afternoons at 3:00, in our Silver Spoon Café, for our weekly ice cream social. On Monday, May 14th at 2:30 we will celebrate all the May birthdays at 2:30 in the Main Lobby, instead of the weekly ice cream social.

We will celebrate National Nurses Week May 6^th – May 12^th. The theme this year is, “Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring”. This week we will focus attention on the diverse ways our nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of our residents and patients. We will recognize our dedicated and kindhearted nurses and show our sincere appreciation for their work!

Please join us for a special Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday, May 12^th in our front lobby from 2:00 – 3:00. Spend this special time together and enjoy flavored hot or cold tea and an assortment of appetizers and desserts. This will be a great opportunity to take family portrait photographs with your loved one. Photographer Barbara Edmondson will be available again this year for special family photos. You may have a sitting with up to 5 people. Each sitting is only $40.00 (cash or check). You can choose from two packages, either one 8x10 and three 5x7’s or a package of five 5x7’s. Prints purchased at the Mother’s Day Tea will be delivered to Grace for pick up. 

Our County Bus trip in May will be to Walmart on Wednesday, May 16^th from 10:30 – 2:00, for shopping and lunch. Please contact Ann Marie Ryan in the Activity Department if you would like to join us on this outing.

“Celebrating the Journey” is the theme for National Nursing Home Week this year. Throughout the week of May 13^th – 19^th we have planned events to honor the lives and milestones of our residents, patients and our staff. Celebrating the Journey reminds us that every life should be honored, every life’s story needs to be told and every day we have the chance to begin writing a new chapter.  Please see our May Activity Calendar for a complete list of activities during this very special week. Everyone is invited.
