Provision Living At Hermitage Hosts 2012 Events and Activities
Posted by Radiance PVL on Wed, Jan 11, 2012 @ 06:19 PM
This week we're catching up with another of our new communities, the independent and assisted living development in Hermitage, Tennessee. A fresh remodel, which was finished in late 2011, added new furniture, a dining room update, and an activity room that's proving to be the center of attention.
New executive director, David Dowdy, is excited about the events coming up in 2012, and activities director, Marianne Harter, cited several things she has planned in the next few months.
"I try to think outside the box," explained Harter, in reference to the numerous activities she is putting together. The first thing Harter wanted to talk about was the bell choir she's organized (pictured below). The choir's average age is 90 years old, and the ten members perform 2-3 times per year, in special red satin vest uniforms.
The community is also looking at revitalizing a singing choir, which has a history of performing at other assisted living communities around the area.
Other events in 2012 include:
- A Valentine's Day dance, for sweethearts old and new (including a special musical performance)
- Casino Night, complete with tables decked out in green, hearts, clubs
- Pet Therapy day
- Poetry In Motion - a poetry class
- Chinese New Years party
- An Author's speaking engagement featuring an original novelist who wrote a book recently on the Titanic
The community also likes to put on puppet shows, and Harter advises these are out of the ordinary puppet shows that have gone over gangbusters in the past.
We are thrilled with Dowdy and Harter's out of the box thinking and looking forward to hearing about the fun events they have planned in 2012, as well as learning about what are sure to be exciting activities in the spring and summer seasons.
Welcome, Provision Living at Hermitage, and thank you for your enthusiasm!
