The purpose of this blog is to help others keep in touch and feel a part of what is going on here with us at Greenwood Place Retirement Community.  I expect many of our readers to have friends or family residing here already, or who are considering it for the future.  Ours is a long term care home with a small family feel; as I write this I hear a conversation taking place in the living room as two of our residents anticipate our upcoming snack time and activity for  this afternoon. We try our hardest to keep up steady and varied activities; today the plan is to press flowers in books, step one in an ongoing art project we are working on.   I can also hear as one resident is trying to help another wind and set her watch; we enjoy watching and foster the forming of bonds between our residents as many can better understand what the other is going thru than those of us who have not yet attained such an advanced spot on the road of life.
