The Rockwood Residents helped celebrate our August baby birthdays! Our very own Sales/Marketing and Activity Director Eric was honored along with Delores and Margie. Always fun times!!

  

What an amazing experience for the Residents and Staff of The Rockwood. We were fortunate enough to be in the path of eclipse totality. For a brief moment, everyone witnessed an event that none of us had witnessed before, total solar eclipse. We all gathered outside on our two patios to enjoy this amazing event. The photos do not do the event justice, thank goodness enough professionals were able to take great photos of this event.

The Residents truly enjoy Michaels’ weekly Body Alignment class. It is a low energy, chair exercises that concentrate on breathing, stretching and mobility. Everyone should be here!! This day more than half of our Residents were in class today! Good times had by all!

Lynne from The Medicine Shoppe came by with her fellow pharmacists to discuss “Staying Hydrated” in the summer months. Good presentation and good one on one counseling. Thanks for teaching!

Our Residents had the pleasure to take a trip to the famous Bissinger’s Chocolate Factory in St. Louis. What an interesting place and interesting history. And the chocolate? YUM! Betty and Mildred (pictured together below) were ready to play Lucy and Ethel in the candy conveyor skit! Haha!!

We all went to lunch at Caleco’s downtown afterward. Biggest menu in downtown StL. Great fun, great food and great friends!

What a wonderful, beautiful day we had to view the new park at the St. Louis Arch. The Residents who went had such a great time. We also enjoyed a tasty lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory. YUM! Next time, we get to see the new museum! Who’s with us?

Happy Birthday to our Residents Olga G., Carmen and Giles (who was out celebrating with family). Here’s to many more years!!

Exercise is a big part of the weekly activities at The Rockwood. With that, our Residents were excited to start a new exercise, Tai Chi. Taught by a master, Lin. They are learning how their bodies can work in different ways than what they are used to. Such a calming, flowing exercise that will make them stronger and more flexible. We look for longevity, and being fit in body and mind is a great gateway for a healthy life.

 

 

 

Happy Birthday to Olga (who partied with family), Jo and our concierge Julie (who sadly retired from the Rockwood). We all celebrated and had a lot of laughs that day. Did you see that cake? Wow was it good!!
