Thanksgiving like no other!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with a bang! Staff, reidents, family and friends were here. We ad so muh food -- turkey, ham, fried chicken, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, mustard greends, macaroni and cheese, yams, and cranberry sauce, along with a variety of desserts. Some people were bold enough to sing Karoake, while others enjoyed the football game on the TV. Ron read PS 100 to everyone and asked several staff and family membes what they were thankful for. He then led us into a Thanksgiing prayer. It was absolutelywonderful-- the one big, happy family.

We are an assisted living facility on the Olympic Peninsula close to the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area. Our intention is to serve the community of the aged and aging and those who care for them. As an assisted living facility, we know the questions and concerns that attend an aging loved one. Regardless of your choice of care, we would like to make ourselves, our facility, and our network of shared interest available to all who participate in the world of assisting the elderly.

After all, we all will one day face aging.

At Haven in Allyn we believe the spirit doesn't change just because we lose the capability of our physical body. We choose to honor the spirit as the true state of the person and service the physical needs accordingly. We celebrate each life...aging is only a natural culmination to, hopefully, a life well lived.

So, our hope with this blog is to share experiences and the wisdom gained through working with our residents, caregivers, and families and to encourage you, the readers, to participate with your own experiences, too.
