I Scream, You Scream,
We All Scream for Ice Cream!
Thanks to generous donors, ice cream is back at Holy Spirit! Since it’s return
in the beginning of February, the new ice cream machine has been a big hit.
Ice cream is served Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30-3:30. There
is a choice of vanilla, chocolate, or twist. The following toppings are also
available: chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, peanuts, sprinkles, and crushed
cookies.
We would like to introduce our new,
feathery friend, Rico, and welcome
him to the Holy Spirit family. Rico can
be found in the first floor lounge. Since
joining us in mid-February, Rico has
loved all of the music, activity, visitors,
and has even joined in on praying the
Rosary. Please remember that Rico is
on a special diet, so please do not of-
fer him food when you come and say
‘Hi’.

Reminders: Foot Pedals: Before pushing a resident in a
wheelchair, you must make sure their feet are on
the foot pedals. It’s the law. Don’t move residents without them. You can find pedals on the back of the residents’ wheelchair or in their room.
Handicap/Ambulance Parking: At our front entry, there is a spot to be left open for ambulance parking, in case of emergencies, as well as a Handicapped Parking spot. Please keep these spots open if you do not fall in either category.
Guest Meals: Meals are $5.00. Please notify the front office one day before.
Labeling Resident Clothing: When bringing
in resident’s clothing, if possible, place in a bag that can be marked with the resident’s name so that staff can label the clothes for you. Your cooperation is very much appreciated in this matter!
Food for Residents: All food that is brought/kept in resident’s rooms must be completely
sealed and labeled with it’s opening date. Unfortunately, any food items that are not sealed or are outdated will be disposed of. If you need sealed baggies, please contact or visit our dietary department.
Door Codes: In order to keep all of our residents safe, please do not let someone go in or out of a set of coded doors if you do not know them.
Transportation: We are happy to provide transportation for our residents but ask that any family or friends that want to join their loved one at an appointment please provide their own transportation.
Fans: Reminder that we only allow tall, or tower, fans in resident rooms. This is to help in maintaining the safety of our residents.
E-Mails: We need your help in adding email addresses to our contact information. If you currently use/check your email please send the information to [email protected]
