Silent Auction

Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center held a Chinese Auction for the residents on Friday, May 18th. Residents were given an envelope of tickets to go around and put them into items they wanted a chance at winning. Staff assisted those who needed it. At 2:30, staff started picking the winning numbers for each item. A lot of our residents came and lined the outer shell of the Grande Room to see if they were lucky to win an item. Everyone at least won one item that participated. Some won a couple of items.

Mix & Match Day

Special Event

Mahoning Valley Nursing & Rehabilitation Center “MVNRC” had a special event.  Tuesday was Mix n Matchday, the staff definitely hit this one good.  Never heard of Mix & Matchday?  Well, it’s a day that often celebrated a lot in elementary schools where children wear clothes and shoes that don’t match.  The key to this is to make it fun and try to be original.  So everyone at MVNRC took the idea and made it fun for all the residents to enjoy along with the staff.

The staff was walking around in “mix & match” clothing, residents enjoyed a Cake Walk with lots of goodies from The Dietary Department. We had a full circle plus waiting for their chance at a treat. Everyone won!

Come back to see what else we have in store for the rest of the week.

So who did it best??

 

First Porch Outing of the Season

Enjoying the Outdoors at Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Wednesday was our first porch outing of the season.  With warm weather finally, here after such a long winter spring has seemed to have sprung with a great day.  Our residents enjoyed the warm weather while sitting on our front porch.  Dietary provided everyone with a “cool treat” on this warm day.  While outside, residents enjoyed conversing with one another, listening to soft music, as well as ending our time with the singing of OUR theme song. “You are my Sunshine.”

While the weather cooperates, you may find us enjoying the weather on the front porch or in the Courtyard most afternoons.
