As we all learn to adjust to the changing lifestyle we are living, here at Bartlett Woods our #1 priority is to keep our residents, your loved ones, healthy and happy.<\/p>\n

This means, we have closed our facility to visitors.\u00a0 All staff members are screened daily to make certain we are symptom free and we are washing our hands many, many times per day.
\nI\u2019m sure you are wondering what the Activities Department does when the residents are all confined to their apartments. \u00a0 Rest assured, we are here every day and interacting with your loved ones each day. Daily we go to each apartment with some sort of goody.\u00a0 On St. Patrick\u2019s Day we brought them each an Irish coffee and Shamrock cookies! On other days we have brought them each a little bag of hard candy and chocolate, we have also made popcorn.\u00a0 Along with the treats we are offering jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, word search, Sudoku, cryptograms and word scrambles. We are also checking books out of the library for them, offering DVD\u2019s to watch and in some cases just visiting so they aren\u2019t lonely.<\/p>\n

We have lined up some music entertainment that will take place outside that they can enjoy on their balconies.\u00a0 When the weather warms up, we will offer more outside entertainment.<\/p>\n

We have played \u201cHallway Bingo\u201d and have other \u201cHallway Activities\u201d planned.\u00a0 These events allow them to sit in their doorways and safely socialize with their neighbors.<\/p>\n

We have also set up schedules for residents to go outside for short walks.<\/p>\n

With our spring snow, we made a couple of snowmen for them to enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Building\"Maine<\/p>\n

Life is certainly different then what we are all used to, but we are doing our part to slow the curve.<\/p>\n

There will be no April Activities calendar on the website, please accept our apologies. We are planning activities day by day at this point, but rest assured we are all practicing social distancing.\u00a0 The Activities Team personally sees each resident daily and makes certain they are content.<\/p>\n

While we have our departments we work within, we are all one big team. \u00a0 This means everyone pitches in where needed. This week Activities has been on trash duty as well as helped deliver snacks from the kitchen, but I promise we washed our hands in between. \u263a<\/p>\n

While we work hard to keep our residents safe and healthy, we wish the same for all of you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank You<\/p>\n
