Spring is in the air!

April 10th, 2018

Easter fun, dancing, and flowers are sure signs of spring!

Easter

Pastor Shad Vork and his son visited residents to play music and share the Easter message. Everyone enjoyed the solos and the singalong songs.

Flower Show

Several residents from Oak Park Senior Living spent the afternoon at the Spring Flower Show at the Como Park Conservatory. Everyone enjoyed looking at the beautiful flowers. We also saw some exotic birds, a 13’ Anaconda snake, and a sloth resting among the tropical plant exhibit.

Kent Appeldoorn

Kent Appeldoorn stopped in to entertain the residents at Oak Park Senior Living. He kept everyone singing, clapping, and laughing as he sang music from the 50s and 60s. He even got our activity coordinator, Rockea Johnson, to play backup guitar during Rock Around the Clock!

Wells Fargo Museum Field Trip

January 25th, 2018

Oak Park Senior Living residents stepped back in time when they visited the Wells Fargo Museum in downtown Minneapolis. They saw an authentic stagecoach, a replica of an 1800s bank, and had their faces printed on a $5.00 bill. We also saw a replica of the old Northwestern Bank weather ball that used to sit on top of the bank. As a bonus, we saw some of the preparations in downtown Minneapolis for the Super Bowl.

New Years Party

January 2nd, 2018

On December 31st, the residents of Oak Park Senior Living came together to celebrate the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018. Entertainment was provided by Wayne and the Boys, who got everyone up and dancing! They were singing along with music from the 50s, 60s and today. Our chef provided yummy snacks and everyone enjoyed a glass or two of “champagne” or sparkling juice. At the end of the night, a toast was made by Sue, our activity director, and together we sang Auld Lang Syne.  Happy New Year!
