week continued on Thursday with a day centered around learning. We had a wonderful brunch & learn with Jenn H from Touching Hearts at Home. Jenn enlightened us all on where we can look for support during our aging journey. Thursday also brought us a Travel PechaKucha where we learned about many different travel ✈️ destinations from our fellow residents. Take a look at the pictures of the globe 🌎 and see all the travel spots our residents have visited. The only continent not on the list is 🥶 Antarctica. Are you traveling anytime soon?

We continued our week on Wednesday with a day centered around overall wellness. We started the day with a group discussion on 😴sleep. Studies continue to show just how important good sleep is for our health so together, we came up with some strategies to optimize our sleeping hours. We then moved in to our wellness program with special masks and hand treatments provided by Kelly P. We event treated everyone to a massage courtesy of Licensed Massage Therapist, Ashley Paul! Ashley helped get the kinks out and left everyone in a wonderfully relaxed state.

week 2026 continued with our Tuesday adventures! Tuesday centered around the environment and our theme of, “growing.” We enjoyed a wonderful activity of make your own bouquets using fresh flowers 🌻 of all different colors. During the afternoon, we made our very own terrariums with the help and guidance of Denise M from Cornell Co-Op. We used small succulents 🌵 and decorated our jars with stones of all colors along with small accessories fit for a fairy 🧚garden! Take a look through the pictures and I think you’ll agree, everyone did a beautiful job during our GROW day.

The Spinney at Pond View is proud to participate in Active Aging Week which is sponsored by International Council on Active Aging. We started our Monday with a group of residents enjoying the morning with friends while painting ceramics. We took a break from painting and enjoyed all kinds of coffee and tea drinks provided by our friends at Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee. It was a comfy, cozy morning spent socializing with friends, old and new.

Monday starts with a ceramics class and then we’ll move into a coffee ☕️ social along with Il Rapporto. Not familiar with what Il Rapporto means? Simply said, it’s the Italian 🇮🇹 way to say “connection or relationship.” Our Monday will continue with connections 🤝 being made in our craft 🧶 club as well as our Mah Jongg players! The night ends with everyone’s favorite game, Bingo! Join us in The Clubhouse and experience your own connections.
