Reflections after My First Year

When one moves into a new residence the trauma of change comes from all angles. A new bed, new roommates, new meal table-mates…everything is new, new, new.

Well, my move to Dodge Park Rest Home and Day Club was first made easy by a caring staff-starting with the owner, to nursing, to activities leader.

One seems to gage a place foremost by its meals and at Dodge Park I found five stars. So much was homemade from soup to desserts and variety came so naturally.

One can’t help but be impressed with the physical plant and how diligent housekeeping is. Holiday decorations abound right down to the dining room table decorations.

However, ones growth and care are foremost at Dodge Park. The Day Club promotes physical care and mental growth with all their variety of activities. Stimulating programs and entertainment hold ones interest and keep each passing week a joy to be a resident at Dodge Park.

My first year at Dodge Park has seen me grow in every aspect and made me a truly happier person.
