Garden

Here at Eden Heights we enjoy our warm weather and sunshine. Along with the sunshine comes our seasonal gardens and plants. We planted a wonderful vegetable garden in the spring filled with tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and more. The garden that the residents helped to plant is growing daily. We already made zucchini bread from what has grown in the garden. We hope to use the other vegetables in the near future. Also we had a sun flower pop up in the garden that has grown about 7 feet. We hope that your gardening season is as fun and plentiful as we are having here at Eden Heights. Happy Gardening! Please visit our website at http://www.edenheights.com/eden.html

Sensory Safari with the Buffalo Zoo

Lions, Tigers, and Bears. O my! This past Tuesday we had a special visit from some little critters. The Buffalo Zoo visited Eden Heights with their Zoomobile bringing many different types of animals ranging from an owl to a snake. They also brought animal shells and skins to touch. One of the favorites was the tiger skin, it was a beautiful sight to see. The residents enjoyed petting and seeing many different creatures.

Eden Heights Family Picnic

On Saturday we had our resident family picnic. This years theme was Patriotic. We enjoyed a cookout with hot dogs, pasta salad, baked beans, watermelon and home baked red, white and blue star cookies. Then residents, families and staff, sang and danced to music with Ramundo. The kids young and old alike had fun with balloon figures and face painting. We also raised money to benefit the Alzhiemers Association Memory Walk in September with an afghan raffle made by Rose Mariani one of our residents. It was a wonderful evening shared with our residents, family, friends & staff. Please visit our website @ http://www.edenheights.com/eden.html

Liberty Cloggers

On Thursday evening we had our toes and fingers tapping to the beat of the Liberty Cloggers. They are a wonderful group of dancers, who have high energy and great personalities. All our residents loved them especially Charles whose daughter Arlene, is one of the dancers. We hope to see them again and appreciate their time.

Water Balloon Toss

This past week at Eden Heights we had many fun events and games to play. One of the games that we played was Water Balloon Toss. Not only was it a fun way to exercise our arms, but also a great way to beat the heat. The game ended with a big splash with many of our residents soaked and laughing. We continued the fun with our Ice Cream Soda's and 50's Music on the porch. Everyone enjoyed reminiscing about the Soda's and Music.

A Day at the Zoo

On Wednesday we spent the day at the Buffalo Zoo. We started off watching the elephants romping around. Then we met the sea lions and otters. Next we had a picnic lunch, then off to see the lions, the new rainforest exhibit, giraffes, gorillas, lorikeet landing and of course a little shopping at the gift shop. It was a wonderful day!

T-Shirt Contest and Social

On Wednesday we at Eden Heights celebrated the warm weather by taking off our long sweaters and pulling out our T-Shirts. Not only did many of the residents take part in our contest, our staff did as well. It was hard to decide the winners with so many great T-Shirts out there. The categories included most colorful, most meaningful, and funniest. The residents and staff had a fun time looking at the shirts and hearing the stories of where the shirts came from.
