SUMMARY:Bates College Collaboration: Music and Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:The Cedars is excited to announce a special music and life enrichment collaboration with Bates College that will begin in March.  \n\n  \nBates College students will start a music program for residents of The Cedars over the three-month spring semester. The students will develop and implement enriching and engaging musical programs each week that inspire our residents to explore their musical artistic capabilities and form social connectedness within their communities. Students will share their passion for music while providing residents the opportunity to actively participate\, make choices\, and express their musical artistic capabilities through educational classes\, presentations\, creative composition\, and interactive performances. The first goal of this program is to provide student musicians the opportunity to bring their musical artistry to older adults\, practice their music in a unique real-world setting and cultivate reciprocal and mutually beneficial partnerships with older adults. The second goal is to provide older adults an intergenerational experience by providing opportunities for older adults to share their artistic capabilities\, wisdom\, creative insight and life experiences. Each program will be tailored to each communities’ abilities. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Family Forum for Long-term\, Skilled Care Families
DESCRIPTION:The Cedars is committed to providing the highest quality care to our residents. We know that to continue to grow and improve we need to work with our families and residents to deliver the experience they expect. On our journey to a Household model of resident-centered care we see that two of our most valuable team members are our residents and their families and friends. \nOne of the ways we ask our community to participate in our journey is to attend our annual Family Forum. Each fall we host an evening input session where our long-term care community can share what is going well and help identify the future focus. This year\, due to COVID-19\, we will host our Forum virtually\, using Zoom. We are blessed with many dedicated families willing to partner with us. \nOnline Forum\, featuring: \nSusan Dionne-Jones\, Director of Nursing at The Cedars\nMelanie Desjardins\, Neighborhood Coordinator (Shapiro neighborhood)\nMelissa Jensen\, Nurse Manager (Shapiro)\nCathy Grey\, Care Coordinator (Black Wolf neighborhood)\nHannah Temple\, Nurse Manager (Black Wolf) \nInvitations have been sent to families.
