Fun was the goal at the dance party for the residents at The Lodge at MapleCreek, our skilled nursing and rehabilitation center at MapleCreek, on Wednesday evening, March 30. Starting with a wedding reception favorite “The Chicken Dance,” staff and volunteers for the dance party got people moving.
The gathering in the Great Room of the Lodge was hosted by the Kentwood Jaycees, who provided a DJ playing music from ’30s, ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. Kenyana “Kiki” Gary, Lodge activity director (dancing with Lodge resident Harold, right), explained how dancing works with nursing residents. “Some residents are able to stand and dance, and for the other residents who are in wheelchairs, we stand in front of them and dance with them.”
Judging from the smiles on all the faces (like Pauline's, left), the dance party was a big hit. Thanks to the Kentwood Jaycees for bringing the party to The Lodge. Come back soon!
