105-year-old Dorothea was the first HCMCF resident to receive her COVID-19 vaccine!  Naturally due to COVID-19 19, Christmas 2020 was different. But, that did not stop us from having a very special Christmas season! We enjoyed decorating early in December, caroling (by over 40 staff members), countless goodies & lots of chocolate, Christmas games, a visit from Santa and Rudolph, and many classic Christmas movies. Our elders enjoyed having a Christmas photo taken to send to their families. Staff and residents dressed up for Christmas shirt & hat, and pajama days and it was common to hear Christmas singing daily. On Christmas day we dined on prime rib and received gifts from our families and stockings filled with an assortment of old fashioned gifts and candy, an orange and even coal! We ended the month by holding a clinic for our residents and staff to receive their COVID-19 19 vaccine. Now, we are looking forward to a new year, with new hope and the same strong sense of family. From our home to yours, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Bringing the Fair to us! Since we couldn’t go to the Hillsdale County Fair this year, We brought the fair to us! The week included a parade, fair bingo, cotton candy, caramel corn, corn dogs, footlong dogs and ice cream!
It is important (maybe now through the corona virus, more than ever) that we provide some spontaneous lighthearted activities in an attempt to promote normalcy.  A favorite is room to room deliveries. Using a decorated cart, we deliver frozen treats while playing ice cream truck music, happy hour beverages with a 1960’s sing along, cotton candy, chocolate, popcorn and coming soon are snow cones and Wendy’s Frosties.  Remote control car racing was a big hit also! Our residents continue to enjoy and are finding comfort through video calls and window chats with their loved ones.

Before Christmas several of our Cottage employees made a video of singing and dancing to the song Rocking Around The Christmas Tree.
Ellen DeGeneres (Ellen Show) had requested that viewers send in such a video and the best would be featured in a mash video. Our residents got a good laugh during their filming performance. Then came the news that our Ladies were one of the BEST! In recognition of their talents Ellen sent them a gift card for $250.00 which they promptly donated to the Southern Michigan Food Bank! Way to go Ladies on your great video and donation to serve others! To watch the video follow this link https://www.ellentube.com/madebyyou/jingle-bell-ringrock.html |
