Since March the residents at RP Home, much like residents at our neighboring facilities, have not been able to see their loved ones in-person. Unfortunately, it is necessary to maintain a strict visitation protocol to maintain he safety of our residents and staff.
We know it is even more important during these tough times to ensure our residents are having fun. The activities department, therapy department and personal care staff has teamed up to provide engaging events!
McKee Place Big Top Circus
The residents at McKee Place enjoyed a day at the Circus in September. Residents played ring toss, milk bottle knockdown; balloon darts, goldfish toss and many other games. This was a great way to keep the residents physically active working their balance, gait and range of motion while still having fun! What is a circus without food? Residents and staff took in the aromas and tastes of homemade cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones. Prior to the photo-shoot, faces were painted as super heroes, cats and butterflies.
To continue with the circus fun, Phil Crosson, provided a magic show outside in the courtyard to residents in McKee Place and Nursing. Magic could be seen from the resident’s rooms, foyer and courtyard. The courtyard has been a blessing during COVID as it has allowed us to entertain while maintaining the social distancing precautions. In addition, the residents enjoyed beautiful days taking in the sun and breeze.
The Personal Care Aides who care for the McKee Place residents threw a Steeler Party for Monday Night Football. David Boxley, Alisha Hunt, Donneia Page and Tina Page planned an evening with decorations, Steeler gear and great food! These four staff members were recognized for going Above and Beyond.
We appreciate the continued commitment of the RP Home staff to provide exciting activities which support the residents in their physical, social and emotional well-being!
