Life has changed significantly for all of us as a result of the Coronavirus. At Ardenwoods, we have risen to the challenge to engage our residents in activities that keep them safe, healthy, and in community, even from a social distance!
Hear from Residents
Keeping our residents safe is our top priority. Hear from residents Ron and Carol, who sat down with us to share their thoughts on how Ardenwoods has responded to the Coronavirus.
Heart Hunters Tour
Recently, staff decorated windows around campus with heart decorations—a phenomenon, called Heart Hunters, that’s been happening all over the US since quarantine began. People display hearts made out of paper, wrapping paper, cereal boxes, etc. on their windows, doors, or anywhere outside their home to lift the spirits of passersby.
At Ardenwoods, residents were given a map of the campus, marking where each of the heart displays were showing. Everyone could then vote for their favorite display. The winner? The waves and sun shining in the dining room windows!
Gardeners Enjoy Their Spring Blooms
Even with social distancing guidelines, resident gardeners are still able to work in their plots! Here are some incredible blossoms from our garden:
Happy Birthday!
Birthdays are still celebrated these days. One of our residents, Hedi recently turned 100!
According to Hedi, we have to accept the things we can’t change. Sometimes it helps us get creative! Hedi’s family was able to visit her at a distance on her back porch. Check out the video on WLOS.
Bubble Time!
Steve Henry “Bubble Master” did a bubble show for the residents of Ardenwoods and Heather Glen last week before the stay-at-home order. Steve’s parents lived at the community and he has been performing bubble shows here since.
He does bubbles of all different sizes. The very large ones are definitely a favorite among the residents!
At Heather Glen, he did his show outside of the windows of the community, so residents could watch from the safety of their rooms. At Ardenwoods, residents kept a six foot distance from each other while watching the show from our front patio.
