Winter has been long and cold up in the northeast,
residents are getting restless and so is staff. In an attempt to break up the
monotony of winter we threw a Caribbean night on Monday February 16th.
We took some time to decorate the dining room with warm colored flowers, mini
palm trees and even got a the servers in on wearing flower necklaces.
For dinner, residents enjoyed Cuban Black Bean Soup, Jerk
Chicken with sauteed plantains and rainbow Dominican rice followed with grilled
pineapple for desert. We even played some tropical music to bring that warm
Caribbean feeling into the building. For an evening the residents could forget
the frigid temps outside and think warm happy thoughts.
