Life for the residents at the Community
Restorium is active and busy.
The fall and holiday season has been a time of
celebration and recognition. The residents had a
fun time making up bags of candy for trick or
treaters and greeting the children at Halloween
time.
Birthdays are always recognized and celebrated.
Three people, Gladys Burton, Dotty Larson, and
Don Dozier enjoyed the birthday celebration for
them.
A special recognition of our veterans occurred
on November 11 with a free spaghetti luncheon
for all veterans and their spouses in Boundary
County. This was special for the seven residents
who are veterans and were honored for their
service. Pictures were taken of all of them in
their uniforms.
With November being Thanksgiving month and
residents being thankful for their care, a big
Thanksgiving dinner of the traditional turkey
and trimmings was prepared for sixty people
including residents, their families and staff.
The November birthdays were celebrated for H.C.
Studer, Laveeda Linnemeyer, and Cleo Mae Hicks.
In December the halls and dining room were
beautifully decorated for the holiday season.
The annual Christmas party included a delicious
buffet for over a hundred people and a visit
from Santa Claus who distributed candy canes and
gifts provided by the Friends of the Restorium.
On Christmas day a special lunch was made for
residents and the families who came.
To finish out the holiday season and welcome the
New Year the Kootenai Klogger Square Dance Club,
who have been helping with the celebration for
many years, entertained by dancing in the dining
room. Snacks trays of meat, cheese, veggies and
fruit and drinks to toast the New Year completed
the celebration. A December birthday celebration
honored the birthdays of Lorraine Liverance,
Florence Cavendar, Evelyn Albano and Maxine
Holifield.
Our Community Restorium is home to twenty eight
residents, and it is everything a home should
be. This warm, comfortable, clean facility with
caring employees and private rooms is also a day
care for those who cannot be left alone in the
day while family members work. Daily activities
of games, exercise and performances to entertain
by volunteers from the community all help
provide a healthy environment for those
residents. Visitors are always welcome and
volunteers who can entertain, play games, and
visit are all appreciated by staff and
residents.
