\nWith so many moms residing with us or visiting their mothers, we always look forward to this annual celebration honoring motherhood.<\/p>\n
\nBirthday parties often mark major milestones for residents in skilled nursing centers. To spread this festive atmosphere, residents and staff will assemble boxes filled with cake mix and candles, party hats, balloons and other celebratory supplies to donate to local family shelters.<\/p>\n
\nThere\u2019s nothing better than seeing the smiles of both the young and the old light up a room together. We will invite students from local schools to visit for fun activities, sports games or musical performances.<\/p>\n
\nOur local police and fire departments are always ready to respond to help our residents. We will honor their service and show our appreciation by giving them a barbecue feast with our care team.<\/p>\n
\nTo recognize and celebrate the heritage and cultures of our residents and staff, we will hold a fashion show with traditional garb, music and a potluck meal fit for the multicultural occasion.<\/p>\n
\nGo Sox, Go Celtics \u2013 and Go North End! We will hold a tailgate-style pep rally celebrating all the teamwork it takes on a daily basis to deliver high-quality care to our residents and rehab patients.<\/p>\n
