Card-making


We set to work on decorating greeting cards for friends and family members last week! It was enjoyable to personalize cards and think of loved ones. The residents also enjoyed showing off their artistic skills. We used paints, markers, and crayons. 

Social, cognitive, and physical stimulation are all critical in later years. Each activity at Beehive Homes is crafted to benefit one or more of these aspects. Card-making enhances social skills as well as fine-motor physical skills. We had a great time!

Bingo!


We have been loving Bingo with Utah Home Health and Hospice every week! The residents gather on Thursday and Friday mornings and enjoy good conversation and, of course, plenty of prizes. Snickers is the crowd favorite. The volunteers are fantastic and always make the game exciting!
