Heading out to look at local Christmas lights

 

We love this sweet smile!

 

We were thrilled that some of our neighbors came by to volunteer

Our residents had a great time listening to the Garrett Elementary choir.

These two friends from different houses always love being reunited!
 

Cheers!

We loved our visit from the Cub Scouts!

 

We made festive ornaments when the Morris Museum of Art visited this month

January 2018

Happy New Year!  

A new year brings new opportunities.  We are excited about what 2018 will bring for Madison Heights and for our residents!  

It has been great looking back at 2017 and reminiscing on the growth of our community, the training opportunities our staff have received, the new friendships that have formed between residents as well as the relationship growth between staff and residents  and of course, the fun we have already had on our new 14 passenger bus!   


Mark Your Calendars
Support Group

You are invited to join us for Support Group.  We meet on the third Thursday of each month at 2:00 at The Alzheimer's Association, located at 106 SRP Drive Evans, GA.  

All family members or caregivers of someone with a dementia diagnosis are welcome to attend.  Don't forget to invite others who you think would benefit from additional support.  This is a great opportunity to have time to share your story and experiences with others to both offer help to others and receive support or advice from others who are going through a similar situation as yourself. 
Life History

We love hearing our residents' stories and learning more about their past through memory sharing and pictures.  Many of our residents still take great pride in their past accomplishments and relationships.  
We would like the opportunity to highlight these memories and make a recognizable piece to hang outside each resident's door.  We will provide a collage frame that will hold three 5x7 LANDSCAPE ORIENTED photos or cut outs. 
Please see Kelly or Marcus when you are ready to fill a frame for your loved one.
