Bible study, games and movies

At Deseret Health and Rehab, residents enjoyed many activities throughout the week. The Activity Department offers a wide variety of activities each week to meet the residents’ interests, as well as the physical, mental and psychological well-being of each resident.

Games throughout the week provided fun and laughter. On Sunday afternoon, five residents played Uno with Barbara Hooker winning. On Monday afternoon, three residents played Dominoes. On Wednesday afternoon, 10 residents played Bingo, and on Friday afternoon, nine residents played Bingo. Dora Martin, Kenny Hoagland, and Nadine Caleb won Four Corners.

Residents enjoyed watching movies during the week. Every evening several residents watched Turner Classic Movies.

On Tuesday afternoon, six residents watched the VCR movie, “The Bucket List”. On Saturday morning, residents watched the Lassie movie on TCM, “The Sun Comes Up”.

On Sunday afternoon, Reverend Helen Young led church for residents. Doris Davis assisted on the keyboard with traditional religious music.
