October 2014
October Newsletter, Autumn’s Promise Assisted Living. As September came to a close and the weather became cooler, we enjoyed working on different projects to bring in October and Fall!
In September, we began our cookbook club. We are planning a meal and starting our recipe book. We enjoyed homemade milk shakes on a sunny afternoon. Residents reminisced about hunting and fishing while looking at “opening” bow hunting weekend pictures. We shared our knowledge on the USA and talked about our past vacations. We ended September by making and enjoying homemade salsa and a cold beer!
Autumns Promise continues to welcome new Residents and Staff as our “family” here continues to grow! See you soon!
We wish you all a happy and safe Halloween!
What’s New?!
Happy Birthday!

Support Group
Autumn’s Promise is inviting family members and friends of their loved ones to have the opportunity to share feelings, problems, ideas, and information with others experiencing the same situations.
Autumn’s Promise Support Group will be confidential. This will be a place to share and learn from the others about the different experiences with their loved one and the aging process. This group is designed to be informational about disease and caregiving, remind us we are not alone, encourage us not to forget our own health, talk each other through difficult times and of course, share memories good times.
