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.
Our dining room has been repainted and looks decidedly better with new light fixtures and various pictures hanging on the walls. Nearly completed, these renovations were done by staff and Brenda Eaton’s family. Our Sirius radio is working again for residents to enjoy at mealtimes.
It looks great, and we want to thank everyone who worked on it.
