Mt. Assisi Place

There are certain days throughout the year that truly stand out here at Mt. Assisi Place. Easter Egg Day is surely one of them, as the tradition of coloring eggs brings out the child still very much alive in each of our Residents. This year, that special day was April 2, when Residents in both Antonia and Marian Halls dyed eggs and enjoyed each other’s company, against a backdrop of spring sunshine streaming in through the surrounding windows. “I just love this day,” says Karen Vevers, activities director. “They always have so much fun.” The bright colors and brilliant smiles show how a timeless holiday tradition — one that our Residents once shared with their own children — still evokes fond memories and youthful enthusiasm.

Happy St. Paddy's Day from all of us here at Mt. Assisi Place to Leprechauns everywhere -- even if you're Irish for only one day a year. 🍀

Our friends from Heartland Hospice stopped by earlier this week to guide our Residents in a special Valentine's Day crafts workshop. Using varied materials, Residents constructed impressive, layered decorations to display on their doors in this season of sweethearts.
