Bingo is Hot at MVNRC

Penny Bingo

Bingo is one of the HOT activities here at MVNRC…it is held weekly along with either Penny Bingo or Adapted Bingo every other week.  Penny Bingo is held the same way, just using pennies to bid and win. (Pennies provided) Adapted bingo is the same as regular bingo but geared to our residents that may need that extra help and goes at a slower speed, allowing each resident the opportunity to find and cover the number.

We can not thank our Bingo Volunteers enough for all that they do. Assist residents playing, transport, call the winners, and clean up.  We have a great volunteer team to help make our Bingos flow perfectly. 

If you are ever visiting during Bingo time, you may hear our residents “jokingly” scolding our caller for not picking the correct numbers, to “shake up the balls” and to get them out of the corners of a round basket, as well as hearing the many phrases she has come up with for some numbers. Our residents even have them memorized and will say them along with her. 

If you really want to see something, that’s wonderful. Then you need to see all the smiles and hear the excitement when someone yells “Bingo!”

Spring Fling-Easter Fun day

Spring Fling-Easter Fun Day

Celebrating Easter & Springs Arrival.

 

Easter 2019 09

Sunday, March 25th, the Mahoning Valley Nursing Home, and Rehab Center held a Spring Fling-Easter Fun day for friends and family of residents and staff.  The Easter Bunny made his appearance for pictures with young and old. We also had stations of painting birdhouses, dying Easter eggs, and coloring Easter/Spring coloring sheets.  We were grateful to have homemade chocolates for sale from The Candyman-“The Bailey’s”. A raffle was also held with a basket donated by The Baileys and won by resident I. Yaconbenas. The weather tried to put a damper on our egg hunt but we didn’t let it and found a new way to get the children their eggs.  2 prize Golden eggs were found and claimed for a prize. Dietary made cupcakes and a Bunny cake for all to enjoy. A wonderful time was had by all that attended. A big “Thank you” to all who helped make this a wonderful and fun event.
