Have you ever seen the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern?

Andrew is a chef and culinary expert who travels the world in search

of exotic dishes that most people would be utterly appalled by. This

semester, we are going to join Andrew's quest in trying exotic, yet

edible treats from around the world as we learn a brief history of

each snack. Last month, we sampled chocolate covered crickets,

and believe it or not, more than half of the group were brave

enough to try them! This month, we are going to sample a southern

favorite, fried pickles with a tangy remoulade sauce. Join us on

Monday, December 16th, as we northerners sample a southern

classic in the Activity Studio at 11:00 am.

ASSISTED LIVING · MEMORY CARE

DECEMBER 2019

The Inn

No matter how chaotic the

holiday season can be,

families all across America

still find the time to

celebrate their families

cherished traditions. Baking

cookies, trips to the mall,

holiday parties, trimming the

tree, gingerbread houses, hot

cocoa etc. These are all classic holiday traditions that could get

anyone into the holiday spirit. For many families, another

timeless tradition is driving around the old neighborhood

and admiring the gorgeous light displays. One evening this month,

we plan to recreate that childhood memory and take a ride around

our neighborhood in search of the best holiday display on the

block. But here's the kicker- in order to truly make it a nostalgic

experience, we're all going to wear our cozy winter pajamas. While

on the road, we will enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and sing along to

some iconic holiday carols. Talk about a blast from the past!

HolidayTraditions Just like neighborhood light

displays, the advent calendar is another

holiday tradition that has been around

since the early 1900’s. It is a great way

to get the whole family excited for their

upcoming holiday festivities. This

holiday season, we have decided to take

part in this timeless tradition, and make

our own advent calendar. The calendar

will have twenty-five doors, each with a

sweet treat and a holiday themed

question behind it. Every morning, a

different resident will open one door, eat

the treat, and read the question out loud.

Next, we will encourage everyone to

share their answer or a special holiday

memory. Chandra will open the first

door at 11:00 am on Sunday, December

1st in the Activity Studio. The final door

will open on Christmas Day- Wednesday,

December 25th.

Path to Well-Being

Every October, the Fountains hosts two separate Halloween Costume

Contests- one in the Gardens and another in the Inn. This year, we decided

to switch things up a bit and combine the two. Well, what was meant to be

an ordinary costume contest, turned into a huge Halloween parade, and

our residents from the Gardens took center stage. Thanks to our new

Memory Care Director, Shaheen O'Connell, every single resident from the

Gardens had a costume. Shaheen worked day and night to make sure all of

her residents looked like rock stars for this spooktacular event. We thank

everyone for their hard work, support and enthusiasm. It was a Halloween

that our residents, their families, and our staff will never forget.
