SR BECKYS BLOG A word from the Administrator
February is upon us...
and the shortest month of the year is chock full for all of us at St. Paul Hermitage! There is quite a diversity of fun events planned on the activity calendar with such doings as Groundhog Day parties, Super Bowl parties, Valentine parties and Mardi Gras parties to get us ready for Ash Wednesday. Whew! That just supplements the daily routines around here. It should be fun and you are certainly welcome to join your loved one for any or all of the festivities. Check the activity calendars.
Thanks to those of you who braved the bad weather to attend the presentation by Ron Flickenger, our ombudsman. His talk was very informative and gave a picture of the services provided by this little known office. If you would like information on the ombudsman and his services, please see our Social Service Designee, Sr. Heather. An additional highlight came at the end when Margie and her crew provided all with fresh chocolate chip cookies and punch!
For those of you with loved ones in the health care unit, we will be starting an expanded breakfast service on Valentine Day. We hope to begin with a continental service for the very early risers followed by a first (or second) course of hot offerings beginning at the regular time. This will allow our residents the opportunity to sleep later each morning if they wish, or to rise early and have some coffee and early breakfast. Our staff is excited about the change and dietary, nursing and housekeeping departments have worked well together to make the changes a reality.
Although it was said that the Groundhog saw his shadow, the promise of six more weeks of weather such as we have had will not be a hard pill to swallow! Enjoy!
Know that as we head into the season of Lent, you and your loved ones will be held in special prayer as always.
Peace to you and yours,
Sr. Rebecca Marie, OSB
