Moore-Few Care Center in Nevada ,
Missouri hosted a barbecue for all
residents, staff and families to kick off National Nursing Home Week on May 6, 2011. Volunteers brought a large cooker
to cook hamburgers and hot dogs. The usual potato salad and baked beans were also served. For dessert the residents
chose strawberry cobbler which was out of this world! The weather was perfect for the event and there were at least
200 in attendance.

On Friday, May 13th
2011, Christian Health Care Republic held a carnival. The facility had a little help from fifty-four Republic eighth-graders
in the Junior National Honor Society and Student Council. They lent a hand in helping usher the residents between activities,
games and food. Also many of the resident’s family members showed up to assist.

Among the activities for the day were several carnival games, food, professional
photos, a dunk tank and even a petting zoo. The petting zoo seemed to be the biggest attraction with its Boa snake,
camel, goat, calf, and many other animals. After each resident had been through the entire carnival they were directed
to the ticket booth where they were able to trade in the tickets they had won. At the ticket booth there was a variety
of prizes from candy to CHC t-shirts. By the end of the day our residents were exhausted, but stated that it was the
most fun they had in years.
