Wellness in Action: It's Picnic Time

It’s picnic time at Montefiore in Ohio.  The residents look forward to the annual summer cook-outs every year and are disappointed when the weather puts a damper on the plans.  So this year our staff decided to make sure that the picnic happened even in bad weather.  When the day turned too cold to go outside, they arranged to have the cook-out brought indoors.  Serving hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans, watermelon and hand-squeezed lemonade are staff made it happen and the residents were able to enjoy “Summer time.”   Enriching the lives of seniors every day!
