Halloween Day at Twin Town Villa!

November 5, 2018 By Community Life Coordinator

We all had a great time Halloween Day! Both staff and residents participated in dressing up. It was great to see the fun costumes and the time that was put into them!

In the afternoon residents did a variety of Halloween word games, along with their go-to favorite board game Rumikub!

Late afternoon came and you could see and feel the excitement from the residents waiting.

  

Here come the pretty princesses, unicorns, scary wolves, monsters and more!


Each month we do something to give back to our community. This month we decided to make a donation to the Richland/Wilkin Food Pantry! With everyone’s help we were able to donate 64.5 pounds of items!

 

 

 

We want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who brought their kids or grand kids to see us! Also to everyone who donated candy, to all the staff that helped make the night go smooth and keep the candy buckets full!

Twin Town Villa Skills Fair!

October 8, 2018 By Community Life Coordinator

Each year our care providers get together to participate in an annual skills fair. At this skills fair the care providers get the opportunity to refresh their minds on skills they do not get to regularly perform, and ask questions on the skills they perform on a regular basis. This is a great time for the care providers to get together and to ensure we are all using the proper techniques.

Some of the skills we brush up on include hygiene assist, dressing assist, TED hose/ACE wraps, medication administration, hoyer lift training, vital signs, polices/procedures, catheter care, communication skills, transfer training, and wound care.

In the world of healthcare things are always changing which makes this skills fair a perfect time to discuss any new polices and procedures to provide the best quality care for our residents.

Lake Days!

August 29, 2018 By Community Life Coordinator

 

For over four years the residents at Twin Town Villa have had the opportunity to spend a few afternoons each summer on the waters of Wall Lake. They have the option of fishing or just riding along on the pontoon.

They are able to do this through a non-profit organization called Let’s Go Fishing. Their goal is to strengthen communities, build relationships and create memories. This organization was created  senior citizens, veterans, disabled adults and youth.

 

Being able to get back out on the water is something some of the residents didn’t think they would ever be able to do again. Having this opportunity has been a great way for the residents to make lasting memories along with sharing old fishing stories!

 

 

 

The residents and staff of Twin Town Villa would like to say a special thanks to everyone at Let’s Go Fishing for making these memories happen! The residents are already talking about fishing next summer!

Celebrating Independence Day!

July 3, 2018 By Community Life Coordinator

 

We celebrated Independence Day here at Twin Town Villa with s’mores and a fire!

Thank you to the Wahpeton scout troop #346 for showing us your fire building skills, singing patriotic/campfire songs, scout skits and sharing tasty s’mores with us!

 

 

 

 

Meaning behind the “Fourth of July!”

Blogging is still very new to me so when I sat down to write this blog I didn’t know where to start. I found many articles and facts about the day, but how do I write about this without boring you? Then I thought, how would I explain this to my children without losing their interest? Now I’m not saying you have the knowledge of children but a summary of the day in layman’s terms would be more interesting than a long boring article, at least for me.

So I asked my children (5yrs & 8yrs.), “What does the 4th of July represented, what does it mean”?

Their answers, “We celebrate the USA. We get to go to the lake with our cousins and watch fireworks.” “We go to grandma & grandpas for fireworks and swimming.” I think they got a pretty good idea, celebrating the USA with family and friends.

Here is a summary of the great American holiday that is celebrated each July 4th, Independence Day!

The Fourth of July celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence. United States citizens have been celebrating this day for over 240 years. In 1775 a fight began between with New England .vs. Great Britain. The New England 13 colonies were connected by land to North America however was controlled by Great Britain. New England declared independence and decided to join North America. Together they became the United States of America on July 4, 1776.

No holiday brings together more people than the Fourth of July. From large cities to small towns you can see patriotic banners, and flags. This is times when family and friends get together to celebrate our freedom.  Whether it’s being on the lake, at the beach, parades, barbecues, trips to historical locations or right in your own backyard. Come dusk we are all looking up waiting for the sky to erupt with beautiful fireworks in celebration of our independence!

Happy Independence Day from all of us here at Twin Town Villa!

May Monthly Hightlight

June 18, 2018 By Community Life Coordinator

Well, Mother Nature was a little slow to give us such beautiful weather this spring. May was a very busy month here at Twin Town Villa; we had many great musical groups, piano recitals, a church group, high school students, young children and more through our doors.

To start our month residents and staff came together to make May Day baskets for each resident in our facility. This was a lot of work but everyone loved working together, keeping not only their hands but their mouths busy visiting for hours.

We had margaritas, daiquiris for spinach artichoke dip, salsa, chips and more for Cinco de Mayo.

HERE TO LEARN! High school students from the Wahpeton health careers class came to learn about older adults and the variety of careers/departments in our building. They enjoyed playing many different board games, doing manicures and most importantly learning about one another.

Mothers Day!

Memory care resident, staff and volunteer students enjoyed planting individual flowers for the women living in our Twin Town Villa Community. We had many residents out of the building for this holiday. It was great to hear how they spent mother’s day.

Lipstick, Nail polish & LOVE was a hit in memory care. The residents loved this special gift right in time for mother’s day.

Our monthly trip to Dakota Magic Casino was a hit as always with a few of our residents winning BIG!

Tiny Tykes Daycare!    It’s amazing how much joy such someone so small can make! The residents really enjoyed coloring and doing crafts with the children in both memory care and assisted living.

Monthly Out to Supper Trip!

This month we went out to eat at Hills 210 in Wahpeton where they enjoyed great food and conversation. They have already asked when we will be going back!

Celebrating those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom!

Our Memorial Day service was a hit thanks to our very own resident Darlene who organized the event. She gave a beautiful service. Another resident Lura even played the piano.

Throughout the month of May our residents experienced wonderful music by Rick & Loretta, Loran & the 3C’s, Craig Blackstad, DC & Hawk, Bill & Janet Bosch and Steve Worner.

 

Religious Services

Our resident truly appreciate the luxury of having religious services in the facility. We have weekly protestant worship, multiple different bible study groups along with monthly communion. We have weekly Catholic services/rosary along with monthly communion as well. These are offered in both memory care and assisted living by a many volunteers.

 

Twin Town Villa really appreciates all of the individuals who have came into our facility to help give our residents a great and meaningful quality of life here with us.
