Love is in the Air: Crafting Connections at St. Monica’s
There is a special kind of energy that fills the halls of St. Monica’s Senior Living when a holiday is on the horizon. This week, our community has been buzzing with creativity and excitement as we prepare for Valentine’s Day!
Hand-Crafted with Love
Our community members recently spent a wonderful afternoon diving into "Valentine’s Day Prep" with a series of festive craft projects. From whimsical wreaths to adorable holiday gnomes, the talent on display was truly heartwarming.
As you can see from our latest photos, the smiles were as bright as the red and pink decorations! Whether it was meticulously wrapping yarn for a heart-themed wreath or putting the finishing touches on a bearded gnome, our residents proved that you are never too old to get your hands a little "crafty."
More Than Just a Craft
At St. Monica’s, we believe these activities are about much more than just making decorations. Crafting provides a wonderful opportunity for:
-
Social Connection: Sitting around the table sharing stories and laughs while working on a project.
-
Fine Motor Skills: Keeping hands active and nimble through cutting, gluing, and decorating.
-
Personal Expression: Each resident brings their own unique style to their creations, making their living spaces feel even more like home.
Getting "Valentine's Day Ready"
These beautiful handmade pieces are now finding their way onto doors and tabletops, bringing a festive glow to our community. We are "crushin'" on these crafts just as much as our residents are!
We want to give a special thank you to our dedicated life enrichment team and staff members who help facilitate these moments of joy. Seeing the pride on our residents' faces as they show off their handiwork is exactly why we love what we do here at St. Monica’s.
Stay Tuned! The Valentine's celebrations are just beginning. Keep an eye on our
