Today is the closing day of National Nursing Assistants Week and we wanted to go out with a bang! So we had a big Luau to celebrate. We also threw in some balloon racing just for fun. I hope every Nursing Assistant out there knows how much our staff and residents appreciate them every day.

Some of our CNAs decided to cut loose for National Nursing Assistant Week. So we had a Hula Hoop competition. Oprah was the big winner.

Today is the first day of National Nursing Assistants week. We would like to recognize two of our nursing assistant, Linda and Candy. Linda and Candy have been with us 17 and 9 years respectively providing excellence in care for our residents. We asked them if they had any advice for new CNAs looking to get in the field. Linda told us to "care for others as you would want to be cared for" and Candy said "love them like they were your own grandparent." Some great advice from 2 caring individuals. Thank you both for being a part of our team and thank you to all the CNAs out there caring for our loved ones.

It isn't the best day outside, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a little golf today.

Happy National Banana Split Day from all of the staff and residents at The Estates at Twin Rivers.

Happy National Lemonade Day from all the staff and residents at The Estates at Twin Rivers. No better way to celebrate a successful planting day in our garden. Thank you to our volunteers that helped us out on this gorgeous day.

May is better hearing and speech month. Annette fills a huge role with our therapy team as a Speech-Language Pathologist, helping our residents work on their speech, swallowing, and cognition. Thank you to all the SLPs helping our community.

The overall theme for National Nursing Home Week is the Spirit of America. With that theme in mind we all celebrated with Red, White, and Blue day!

Today we celebrated with our friends and family over a delicious BBQ, Thank you to everyone that was able to attend and a special thank you to Laura our dietary manager for grilling us up some delicious food.

Today we honored our veterans at The Estates at Twin Rivers with the unveiling of our Veterans Wall. Thank you all that have served.

The theme for this year's National Nursing Home Week is The Spirit of America. Is there anything more fitting then a Baseball theme day for staff and residents?
