Blood Drive

The Blood Drive

 was a Great Success!

 

 

 

We had 2 of our very own

Villa Serena residents donate!

 

We were able to collect

7 units of blood!

The American Red Cross registered

8 new donors into their files!

 

All the blood collected potentially

Saves 21 Lives!

 

 

I want to give a huge thank you to all of the people who came in to donate and also a big thank you to the

nurses and volunteers at the

American Red Cross!

Garage Sale

 

 

We were up and ready for our garage sale at 7:00a.m. and so were our great resident-volunteers!

At times, traffic was a little slow, so Lauren found her second passion as a sign-spinner!

 

We surpassed our projected goal and we raised $307. This means that we also hit our goal for our dog park project. We will soon be able to start construction on the dog park project within the next coming months!

 

 

Thank you to all of our amazing residents who donated items and volunteered during our garage sale! We could not have done it without you!

 

 

Staff vs Resident Beanbag Baseball Match

 

Staff vs Resident Beanbag Baseball match was great! Our residents dressed up in their favorite team's gear and were ready to play ball!

 

There was some heckling but lots of cheering and even a few unsynchronized crowd waves.  

 

The staff ultimately took the competition and everyone had a great time.

The residents will be practicing every week on Wednesdays at 1:15 in the activity room and this time be ready for a rematch.

August is Wellness Month at Villa Serena!

Our objective for Wellness Month is to offer our residents the 'Sunshine Wellness Experience,' which involves the opportunity for continued education and exposure to new wellness professionals, practices and healthy food options. We have many upcoming exercise challenges, wellness workshops and activities for everyone to enjoy and benefit from. With this Wellness Month we want all of our residents to

Get Informed, Get Fit, Get Restored and Give Back.

 

Every resident will receive a Wellness Calendar of special events/challenges (see below) and a passport checklist to track their participation. When our residents attend or complete these Wellness activities/challenges they receive a stamp on their Wellness Passport.

On August 29^th at 12:00, we will be hosting a Wellness Awards Ceremony to honor all of the residents who have participated in the special events and in turn made an effort to live a happier and healthier life!

 

Also, the residents who participate in 100% of the activities will be entered in a drawing to win $50!

It plays to live well!

 

 

 

Stay updated for more special events coming soon!
