This week is Australia Themed Week, the residents learned fun facts about Australia, watched a video about Australia and tried Tim Tam’s (an Australian snack). The residents painted beautiful sunsets with kangaroos. Men’s group played games, had root beer floats, and watched a video on tourist attractions in Nebraska.

For women’s group this week the ladies colored beautiful 3 D butterfly pictures. One of our residents played the piano for her friend, it was wonderful. We want to give a special thank you to Aurora Police Officer Cody Barry for coming and talking with the residents, they loved his visit.

Residents had many fun activities for Independence Day week. They made American flags from egg flats, these turned out amazing and are hanging on the residents’ doors. The residents watched a movie about how fireworks are made and had a popcorn party. Congratulations to Ariel Miller, Activities Coordinator, she is Westfield’s employee of the month for July.

Have a happy and safe Independence Day weekend.

I always want to give a big thank you to the generous people that donate to our activities department, the gifts are used and very much appreciated. We had a resident lead Bible study today. The residents made thank you cards for the Aurora Adopt a pet, they take such good care of all the animals. If you are looking for a companion, please let them help you find the perfect match.

Men’s group played a new game today about car logos. They had to guess what brand of car goes with which logo. Thank you to a staff member for bringing in her chickens to visit the residents today. To top of chicken themed week the residents played the chicken run game.

The resident played name that animal and took a virtual tour of the Henry Doorly Zoo. The activity department wants to give a huge thank you to one of our staff members for donating a bunch of different items to the activities department. Congratulations to our June employee of the month Sharon Hiebner, CNA. Thank you, Sharon, for all you do for our residents.

Hello from Westfield Quality Care of Aurora.
We had a good turnout for craft time this week. A different spin on bowling is cow tipping, residents had a great time.

Westfield Quality Care of Aurora would like to wish everyone a safe Memorial Weekend. We are all blessed in so many ways and we take this time each year to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for us to enjoy many of those blessings.

The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity (duration: one minute).

Residents played a new game in activities, it is called Left, Center, Right. Looks like some of them had big winnings. I can never thank everyone for all the amazing donations to our activities department. The generosity helps to give the residents a special treat or helps them with adding to the activities that we are able to provide.

Happy Mother’s Day to all, please come visit. This is the perfect opportunity to make our residents’ day with a visit from family or friends.

We want to thank Dolores Kimminau for performing for the residents, they love to hear polka music. We also want to thank Angie Wall for donating a large box of flowers to the activities department, the residents love to do crafts and they will find something amazing to do with these flowers. Many thank you’s for this week, we had May Day baskets dropped off for the residents, thank you for this, they loved the treats. Congratulations to Ariel Hock, dietary aide, she is our May employee of the month. You do amazing work.
