From the Administrator’s Desk:

Hello Everyone!! I wanted to take a moment and share some updates and reminders

with you.

1. As we all know, winter weather will soon be approaching. Dan and Corey will work hard

at keeping our parking lots, sidewalks and entrances clear of ice and snow. Remember to

use caution and be safe when driving and walking in wintry conditions.

2. Tis the season for holiday directions. Remember that we can no longer hang anything on

the resident doors. The fire marshal has also decided that decorations must be fire retard-

ant treated. Please feel free to visit the Business Office, Social Services, and Life and Well-

ness about holiday decorations. We also can not use electric blankets, extension cords, or

space heaters in rooms.

3. The dish room is getting a makeover. New tile will be installed in December 2019.

Please bear with us as we go through this transition. There will be days when we will be us-

ing plastic and paper products.

4. We have a new pet policy. Please visit the Business Office or Life and Wellness to get a

copy of the new policy.

5. As the holidays approach, many of our loved ones will go on outings with family and

friends, please remember to sign our residents out before leaving the building.

Thank you!!
