Movies, music, mirth and more

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.

Each night during the week, residents watched Turner Classic Movies in the evening. On Sunday morning, four residents watched the VCR movie, “The Virginian”. On Tuesday afternoon, five residents watched the VCR movie, “Cat Ballou”. On Saturday morning, residents watched the VCR movie, “The Pajama Game”.

Games throughout the week provided fun and laughter. On Sunday afternoon, five residents played Dominoes with Charlotte Gibbons winning. On Monday afternoon, three residents played Yahtzee with Frank Jereb winning. On Wednesday afternoon, 12 residents played Bingo, and on Friday afternoon, 11 residents played Bingo. Nadine Caleb and Charlotte Gibbons won Four Corners . Pat Rust, Dora Martin, Kenny Hoagland, and Charlotte Gibbons won Blackouts. Our Bingo helpers were Joy Hamilton, Lila Worden, Dawna Erickson, and Gloria Rakness. On Saturday afternoon, residents played Blackjack.

Every day, residents listened to music in the dining room before breakfast, and also on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before breakfast Tom Mansfield read from the Casper Star Tribune, the Saratoga Sun, and the Rawlins Daily Times, respectively.

On Sunday afternoon, Pastor Arlen Hughes of the Abundant Life Fellowship led our church service. Doris Davis assisted with traditional religious music on the keyboard.

We are in the need of small Bingo prizes, including small stuffed animals. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

We would like to thank Merlyn Hoopes for the donation to Bingo of soda pop.

We are urgently in need of assistance from anyone in the community who would like to do residents’ finger nails or comb and brush their hair. The Activity program relies on volunteers to enhance residents’ lives. If interested, please call 326-8212 and ask for the Activity Director, Tom Mansfield.
