We're Going Fishing!

Spring and summer are here, and so is fishing season!

Every year, our chef, Elden, takes residents out fishing on Boyd Lake in his boat about once a week, weather permitting. This is a wonderful time for our residents to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather and Boyd Lake, as well as enjoy a great, popular activity.

This year, the fishing expeditions will take place on Thursdays, from 9:00am to 11:00am (getting our fishers back in time for some delicious lunch).

Please visit our front desk or call our receptionist to sign up.

It is required that everyone who will be fishing have a fishing license. If you do not have one and would like to fish, please let our receptionist know so we can get you a license.

Happy summer, and happy fishing!

The Importance of Guarding Against Infections

We want to remind everyone that you have a responsibility to know when you are infectious and capable of spreading whatever infection you have. That includes colds, flu, and virus infections. You can spread colds and/or flu through breathing, coughing, and sneezing. Viruses are spread mostly through contact by touching surfaces. If you are throwing up and have diarrhea, you have a virus and everything you touch can transmit that virus to someone else.

The incubation period of a virus is up to two days before you show symptoms and you are contagious up to two days after your symptoms have ceased. While you are contagious with any infection, you have an obligation to isolate yourself from others, especially the senior population, who often have weakened immune systems and for who contracting a virus can be much more serious. With colds, you could wear a face mask to protect others.

If you visit and are healthy, we ask that you sanitize your hands before and after visiting, to protect yourself and others.
