Oyen Lodge: Baking cookies was this weeks’ one-on-one activity

By Dianne Spath

Hello Everyone. It’s hard to believe June has gone so fast, and we haven’t even had a hot summer yet, but July is here, so the weather may be unpredictable.

Monday started with exercises. Then, I did a “one-on-one” activity with a resident, and the resident decided we should bake some cookies. One-on-one activities are when the Activity Coordinator takes the time to spend with the residents and do a specific activity of their choice. Monday afternoon, there was card bingo.

Tuesday morning was our regular bus run downtown, followed by cards. Tuesday afternoon was supposed to be coffee time in the courtyard, but the weather did not cooperate, so we had coffee and visited indoors.

Wednesday morning started with exercises and crosswords. Wednesday afternoon was shuffleboard games. Wednesday afternoon, a resident joined the biking program, which is called Orion Tandem Cycling Therapy, and Alberta Health Services Recreation Therapy Staff implements it. This is such a wonderful program, and the residents love it.

June 26 was Beauticians Day, so I hope all the hairdressers had a wonderful day.

Thursday morning was Horseshoe games in the courtyard, which was a lot of fun, as many of us haven’t played them in a while. Friday started out with exercises followed by Horse races.

On Friday afternoon there was bingo and in the evening music by the Jorgenson’s.

Happy Birthday to Dianne Spath on June 24 and Happy Birthday to Wanda Sweet on June 25. Hope everyone enjoyed their Canada Day long Weekend. Have a great week everyone.
