May is a time of craziness when students are graduating, vacations are beginning, family is going and coming and coming and going. The flowers start blooming; some need planting and weeding still feels like a treat; not a chore. It’s a temperature segue between too hot and too cold And here at Decatur House, it […]

Here Comes the Sun! The lyrics from this popular song seem appropriate after a record-breaking winter and so far, a very soggy spring. Cloudless days brought out bright smiles and even some singing: Here-Comes-the-Sun.. Regardless, we don’t let the weather stop us here. We started April with an indoor Easter egg hunt. Staff had as much fun hiding the eggs as residents did finding them. See photo of Marilyn with her Easter eggs above. […]

The headlines scream, “Punxsutawney Phil on the lamb. It’s Ground Hog Day again!” Memes calling for the firing, arresting and shunning of Punxsutawney Phil have been popping up and keep our residents looking for the funny side of the whole winter weather situation.

January Round Up

Christmas decorations are tucked away, and the whirlwind of parties, travel, and shopping has passed. January should be a time to relax, recharge, and catch up on whatever December pushed aside. But this January brought phrases like “monster snowstorm,” “bombogenesis,” and “record-breaking, subzero temperatures!” January’s cold kept everyone busy. Systems were checked, supplies stocked, and […]

November Roundup

Thankfulness is traditionally the theme for November, and we began the month by reflecting on our veterans, their sacrifices, and the freedoms we enjoy because of them. Some of our veterans shared meaningful memories. One resident told us about a moment when a passerby recognized Manny J., thanked him for his service, and explained that […]

We had so much fun this month! We kicked things off with a lunch outing to Canalside Dining. Later, we were warmly hosted at Sandwich Montessori Elementary School, where our resident volunteers and the students played games, crafted, practiced social etiquette, and simply enjoyed getting to know one another. Back at home, movies like Edward […]

This August, the Sandwich Fire Department helped conduct a simulated fire drill, and both residents and staff quickly and confidently responded to the alarms, while meeting or exceeding all safety perimeters. See photo of Executive Director, Sarah and owner, Linda with Fire Chief above. Residents were granted a reprieve from the rigors of the stinging […]
