Ju n e 2 0 1 5 N ew s l e t t e r Dear Residents, Families, and Staff: Warmer weather has arrived (a couple of times since winter) and the patio furniture is in now place – so, go out and enjoy our two (2) beautiful courtyards. The Master Gardeners have been busy making our courtyard gardens and flower beds beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Our Activity and Dietary staff are planning some outdoor activities, treats, and meals for summer. Watch the calendar for special summertime events in the coming months. I would like to wish all fathers a very Happy Father’s Day on June 21st! Have a wonderful summer! Mark Eubank Administrator Summer is here and we are all looking forward to the warm sunny weather! We hope everyone takes the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful courtyards this year. Please remember to stay well hydrated and protect yourselves from sunburn by wearing sun screen and don’t forget the sun glasses!!! This month we will be celebrating National Certified Nursing Assistant Week. This week long celebration will take place June 11th thru the 18th. Please help us thank them for all the wonderful care they provide. We have some of the best caregivers and are truly blessed to have Them!!!!!! A reminder to our residents: Please don’t give any personal information over the phone to someone you do not know. There are a lot of scammers out there who make a living out of taking innocent persons money and can sound very convincing. If you receive a phone call and someone is asking for personal information such as checking account/banking information or personal identification questions simply hang up. If the phone calls continue please let your family or KDH staff know. Happy Summer!
