Weekly Updates

Dear Grand Oaks Residents and Families,

Greetings and a happy Friday to all! As we approach the holiday season, I wish those celebrating a merry Christmas and extend warm holiday wishes to everyone. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and treasuring moments with loved ones. This Monday, Grand Oaks will come together to celebrate Christmas with our residents at our annual Christmas Day luncheon, set from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. For those of you joining us, we anticipate the joy of celebrating with you. May your holiday season be filled with joy and peace.

New Staffing Update

Yesterday marked a bittersweet farewell to two valued members of the Grand Oaks family. Denver Richards, our Maintenance Assistant, retired after more than 20 years of dedicated service at Grand Oaks. The departure that hits closest to home for me is that of my amazing Activities Assistant, Marco Lopez. He has been an integral part of Grand Oaks since 2018 and joined the Activities Department in 2021. Marco has decided to resign from his full-time position and change his status to PRN (as-needed). His last day in his full-time role will be Monday, December 25th, 2023.

I want to take a moment to convey the genuine appreciation that residents and staff feel for Denver and Marco. Their unwavering commitment and hard work have made a lasting impact on our community. The overwhelming turnout of residents and staff to bid them farewell speaks volumes about the meaningful connections they forged during their time with us.

As we bid farewell to these valued members, we recognize and honor the significant roles they played in making Grand Oaks the warm and caring community it is. Their impact resonates not only in the memories and stories shared but also in the daily life of our community. While their absence will be felt, we are grateful for the lasting legacy they leave behind. We wish both Marco and Denver the very best in their future endeavors.

Activities Update:

On the Activities Department front, I'd like to update you that the search for a new Activities Assistant is underway. I am working with Sibley HR and the Recruitment team to identify the ideal candidate for the position. In the interim, Adela and I will continue to provide our regular programs in assisted living. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at yasrat1@jhmi.edu. If you know of someone suitable for the Activities Assistant role, please connect us via email.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a festive holiday season!

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we step into this weekend, I extend warm wishes for joy and relaxation to each one of you. This weekend holds profound significance as we join together to honor and express our deepest gratitude to the heroes in our midst—the cherished veterans among our residents and every veteran who has served our nation with unparalleled dedication.

Today, we observed Veterans Day at Grand Oaks by hosting a Veterans Day pinning ceremony. This event brought our community together to honor the incredible contributions and dedication of our respected veterans. Your dedication is a true inspiration, and the sacrifices you've made leave a lasting impact. Today, it's an honor to celebrate each one of you. Thank you for your service and the profound influence you've had on all our lives.

As we approach Veterans Day, my gratitude extends not only to our veterans here at Grand Oaks but to every past and present veteran nationwide. Your dedication is a guiding light of inspiration, and the sacrifices you've made have become an integral part of the story of our nation. It's a sincere privilege to stand alongside each one of you, recognizing the extraordinary individuals you are.

Dear Residents and Families,

Good Friday to you all! As we approach the start of a new month, I wanted to provide a friendly reminder that this Sunday, November 5, marks the end of daylight saving time. You'll have the chance to "fall back" and gain an extra hour, which we hope you'll use wisely. It's an excellent opportunity to take stock of your routines, relish in the simple joys, and refresh your spirits for the weeks ahead. Your well-being and comfort are at the heart of what we do, and we're here to support you on this journey as we welcome November with a sense of care and positivity.

Upcoming Update:

Activities & Invitation

In our Activities Department, we have an enticing week ahead. This Monday, it's National Nachos Day, and we're having a Nacho bar in the library to celebrate. Residents can create their unique nachos with various toppings. Then, on Wednesday, November 8, residents are all in for the monthly Trivia Tournament, ready to put their knowledge and quick thinking to the test. Wrapping up the week, on Friday, November 10, we pay tribute to our Veterans with a pinning ceremony, live music, and a PowerPoint presentation showcasing our veterans.

Clinical Update:

As we continue to recruit for the Director of Nursing position, if you have clinical concerns, please contact the Wellness Office at 202-349-3424 or reach out to Jill Youens, Oasis RN Coordinator. Jill continues to spend more time helping in the Assisted Living Wellness Office, so for any Assisted Living and Oasis clinical questions or concerns, please feel free to contact her.

We're delighted to share that our community has remained COVID-free for several months. Nonetheless, we're keeping a close eye on the recent increase in COVID cases in our city. It's essential that you remain vigilant for any symptoms and reach out to our Wellness Office without delay so we can closely monitor any potential changes.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! We had a gorgeous week of warm weather. Our courtyard was busy this week with our residents and staff enjoying the warmer temperatures. Reality will hit us all next week when the temperature begins to dip into the 20s. I encourage everyone to get outside sometime tomorrow before the cool front comes in. 

This week we had one of our most successful flu clinics since my arrival. This year, as we did last year, we combined the flu vaccination with the COVID vaccination. Our plan was to vaccinate both Assisted Living and Oasis by 4:00pm. The team was extremely organized, the Giant pharmacists were wonderful, and I believe all of our residents received their vaccinations by 2:00pm on Monday. Thank you to all of our residents and families for submitting your consent forms timely and to the entire wellness team for such a great event.

I wanted to provide an update on the dining services at Grand Oaks. As we previously communicated, the national staffing shortage has hit our kitchen; we have a couple open positions in the kitchen. We are currently partnering with agency providers to supplement staffing, however they have also been challenged in finding candidates to fill the needs. This week Andrew met with another local staffing agency that we will partner with in hopes of filling current positions. After a long year of working in this changing environment, Andrew is now taking time away on a long planned vacation. The entire dining team is working hard to ensure that all of our residents are taken care of in his absence. We communicated to our residents this week during our Resident Forum meeting that we continue to partner with a local catering company to provide meals in the community. Please reach out to Laurie Henley if you have any specific requests or questions related to dining services.

I also wanted to share that Jessie Charles, our Director of Nursing, is no longer working at Grand Oaks. We have posted this position and are recruiting for her replacement. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns that Jessie was following up on. If you have clinical concerns, please contact the Wellness Office at 202-349-3424 or reach out to either Michelle Hill, Director of Resident Services or Jill Youens, Oasis RN Coordinator.

We continue to be COVID free at this time with no cases in the community for several months. There is currently an uptick of COVID cases in the city, please continue to be mindful of any symptoms and communicate with the wellness office so we can monitor any changes. We also ask that any families experiencing symptoms delay your visits until symptoms have subsided.

We appreciate you allowing us to serve you and your loved ones. Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we approach the end of another week, I want to take a moment to reflect on the strength and unity that defines our community here at Grand Oaks. Your voices remain crucial in the coming days as we encounter more opportunities to make our voices heard, whether it's advocating for improvements within our community or the support and care we provide for one another. Our shared journey unites us as advocates for the positive change we wish to see.

In line with this unity and the power of your voices, the past two weeks have been a testament to how residents have come together to voice their preferences and needs through various committees. The Theater and Show Committee allowed residents to share their preferences for theater shows, and the Museum and Lunch Committee enabled residents to plan upcoming museum visits and restaurant outings for the next five months. Similarly, the Movie Outing and Showing Committee provided a platform for residents to suggest movies to watch at the theater and a list of preferred movies and documentaries to enjoy at Grand Oaks.

For instance, during the Theater and Show Committee meetings, residents took an active role in selecting preferred shows and performances that they'd like to see at their chosen theaters. During the Museums and Restaurant Luncheon Committee, residents shared their preferences, providing insight into which museums they wish to visit and their restaurant choices for lunch over the next several months. Similarly, during the Movie Theater Outing and In-House Movie Committee meetings, our residents made change occur by actively sharing their preferences in selecting the movies they want to watch at the movie theater and compiled a list of preferred movies and documentaries for me to show in-house at Grand Oaks.

This collaborative effort demonstrates that by expressing your preferences, we can create a community that genuinely reflects your desires and wishes. Thank you to our residents for actively contributing their voices, enabling us to develop a program that truly mirrors your aspirations. I look forward to residents continuing to share their voices during the Internal Events & Holidays Planning Committee next week. Your active participation not only reflects the strength of your voices but also underscores how unity is fostered when everyone's preferences are considered.

Upcoming Update:

COVID Update:

While Grand Oaks has not experienced any active COVID-19 cases in months, we want to remind you to remain vigilant and take care of yourself. It's important to be aware that the surrounding community has seen an uptick in cases. Please continue to follow COVID-19 protocols to ensure your safety and well-being. Your health and safety are our top priorities.

Clinical Reminder: Flu Shots/COVID Vaccine Clinic: Monday, October 23, 2023

This is a reminder that our Residents' Flu and COVID-19 clinic is scheduled for the upcoming Monday, October 23, 2023. The clinic will take place in the Commons, running from 10 am to 3 pm for Assisted Living residents, followed by the administration of vaccinations for Oasis residents and door-to-door service for Assisted Living residents. In collaboration with our Wellness Nurses, Giant Pharmacy will provide the Influenza Vaccine and the Covid-19 Monovalent Vaccine. Vaccines will be administered by floors. For specific details about the clinic's logistics, please refer to the attached flyer. We extend our gratitude to all those who have already submitted their vaccine consent forms to the wellness team. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding the vaccines, please don't hesitate to reach out to the wellness office at (202) 349-3424 or contact Jessie Charles, Director of Nursing, at jcharl12@jh.edu.

As we approach the weekend, let's keep in mind the transformative power of voicing our thoughts and working together for positive change. Wishing you all a safe and rejuvenating weekend ahead!

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! As we approach the weekend, I wanted to extend my warm wishes to you all. I trust your week has been filled with meaningful experiences, and you're looking forward to a wonderful weekend ahead. As we transition into this weekend, allow me to share some exciting news and provide a few important reminders.

Upcoming Events:

National Assisted Living Week Celebration:

I'm thrilled to invite you to our upcoming National Assisted Living Week Celebration from September 10th to September 16th, 2023, themed "Season of Reflection." This year's celebration is extra special because it reflects the heart and soul of our Grand Oaks community, with resident-driven planning at its core.

Please find the attached flyer for a detailed schedule and all the exciting information about this resident-organized celebration. This week promises to be a memorable journey, filled with opportunities to connect, reflect, and create lasting memories.

Clinical Update:

As we enter the changing seasons and approach the flu season, I want to remind everyone to continue with the simple health practices that keep us all safe and well. Washing your hands regularly, avoiding touching your face, and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze are small yet effective steps that make a big difference.

Our clinic team is finalizing the details of the annual flu and COVID clinic, scheduled to take place beginning to mid-October. Once everything is finalized, you will soon receive a flyer notifying you of the exact date and time of the clinic. Your health is our concern, and we want to make sure you have access to important healthcare services.

Activities Outings and Transportation:

As the weather gets cooler, we're excited to announce that we will be scheduling more outings for our residents. These outings include visits to museums, shopping trips, movie excursions, and enjoyable lunches. For Assisted Living residents, these outings will be on Tuesdays, while Oasis residents can look forward to outings on Thursdays. Please keep this in mind as you plan your personal and medical appointments using the transportation. We want to ensure that you have the opportunity to participate in these wonderful outings.

We can't wait to share these incredible moments with all of you and make National Assisted Living Week a truly unforgettable "Season of Reflection." Thank you for being a valued part of the Grand Oaks family, and we look forward to celebrating together. I wish you a safe and pleasant Friday and a restful weekend.

Dear Residents and Family,

Happy Friday!

As September graces us with its presence and we prepare to embrace the extended Labor Day weekend, we find ourselves in a moment that resonates with the spirit of reflection and renewal. Labor Day, a celebration of the dedication and contributions of individuals nationwide, mirrors the very essence of introspection that accompanies the changing seasons. Just as nature allows us moments of reflection as the seasons transition, this Labor Day weekend offers a wonderful opportunity for us to pause, reminisce about our accomplishments, and savor the present.

Now, let's explore what lies ahead at Grand Oaks:

Upcoming Events

Resident Engagement Survey - Extended Deadline!

We have exciting news regarding the Holleran Resident Engagement Survey. Your feedback holds immense value for us, and we want to ensure everyone has ample time to contribute. Therefore, we're extending the survey submission deadline until the end of Monday, September 4th. This extension grants you a few extra days to share your thoughts, actively participating in shaping the future of Grand Oaks.

If you've already completed the survey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your involvement. For those who haven't had the chance yet, we kindly request that you take a few moments to participate. The survey link was sent via email, and this extended deadline is a wonderful opportunity to provide us with your valuable insights.

National Assisted Living Week: Seasons of Reflection

Join us in celebrating National Assisted Living Week: Seasons of Reflection at Grand Oaks from September 10-16, 2023! During this special week, we're hosting a series of engaging activities that honor the resilience and vibrancy of our residents, staff, and the assisted living community as a whole. It's an opportunity to reflect on our past achievements, savor the present moments, and embrace the future with renewed optimism. Just as the changing seasons offer moments of contemplation, this week allows us to pause and celebrate the diverse and compassionate community we've built at Grand Oaks.

Each day of this week will be dedicated to a different theme, symbolizing the essence of each season. From "Springing into Reflective Memories" to "Giving Back: Harvesting Compassion," these activities are designed to create cherished experiences, foster friendships, and celebrate the cultural diversity that unites our community. We invite you and your loved ones to join us on this remarkable journey of reflection and growth at Grand Oaks Assisted Living.

As we embark on this meaningful journey and the long Labor Day weekend, we extend our warmest wishes for a weekend filled with relaxation, reflection, and happiness. Your well-being and comfort are of utmost importance to us, and we want to assure you that we are here for you. If there's anything you need or any questions you may have, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Dear Residents and Family,

Happy Friday!

As we stand on the threshold of another weekend, I invite you to join me in embracing the spirit of happiness that August brings. Did you know that August is officially designated as 'Happiness Happens Month,' a celebration dedicated to the things that bring us joy? It's a wonderful reminder to celebrate the little and big things that bring joy to our lives. As we dive into the weekend, I encourage you to think about a special way you can bring happiness to yourself and spread it to your loved ones and those around you. Whether it's sharing a heartfelt conversation, trying out a new hobby, or simply spending quality time together, your actions have the power to create a ripple effect of positivity.

In our pursuit of fostering happiness, I am pleased to share the activity schedule for the upcoming week, accompanied by flyers detailing exciting events like our first outing to the Kennedy Center since the pandemic, as well as an invitation to the much-anticipated "TIMELESS ELEGANCE" all-white summer party in Oasis, and the Cooking Club's sharing their happiness by baking zucchini bread in Assisted Living.

Your active participation and valuable input are truly instrumental in shaping our lively community. As we continue our mission to ensure that each day at Grand Oaks is filled with happiness, we kindly remind you about the approaching deadline for the electronic version of the Holleran Resident Engagement survey, which is set for August 28th. If you haven't had the chance yet, please take a moment to complete and submit the survey. Your thoughts and opinions are of utmost importance in keeping Grand Oaks a place where joy thrives for everyone.

As we move through August, let's always remember that it's your presence that fills the halls of Grand Oaks with a special kind of magic. Your smiles, stories, and companionship create a tapestry of memories that enrich our lives in countless ways. Thank you for being an essential part of the Grand Oaks family. Your happiness matters, and together, we'll ensure that happiness happens all around us. Wishing you a weekend filled with happiness!

New Update: Important Parking Update: Resident Garage Usage and Reserved Parking

A friendly reminder that the Resident Garage is designated for those with reserved parking or requiring wheelchair accessibility. If you do not currently possess a reserved parking spot in the garage, we kindly request you to explore the gravel parking lot or street parking as alternative options.

Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated as we collectively strive to ensure a seamless parking experience for all members of our community. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Residents and Family,

As we welcome another Friday, I extend my warmest greetings to you all. I trust that the week has treated you well and that you're eagerly anticipating a well-earned weekend of relaxation and enjoyment.

Before we delve into the weekend's offerings, I'm excited to extend an invitation to our upcoming Labor Day celebration. This is a time for us to gather and recognize the hard work and dedication of our labor force. It's an occasion to celebrate as a close-knit family, and your presence would add a special touch to the event.

Furthermore, I'd like to encourage both our residents and family members to actively participate and provide their valuable suggestions. Your insights are essential in making our activity program even more enriching and tailored to your preferences. Whether it's an idea for a new activity, a movie – be it new or old – a theme for an event, or suggestions for improving our existing offerings, your feedback is invaluable.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Grand Oaks family. Your presence and active participation infuse our community with vitality and depth, and for this, we are profoundly grateful.

Dear Residents and Families,

I hope this email finds you all in high spirits and that you've had a truly wonderful week. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your kind words, encouragement, and the warm welcome backs, smiles, and comforting hugs I received upon my return from my three weeks' time off. It truly meant the world to me. Now, I'm back, feeling refreshed, and absolutely thrilled to be working with our wonderful residents and family members again.

As we endure this scorching heat wave, I want to gently remind everyone to prioritize staying cool and safe. Please remember to stay indoors, stay hydrated, and find ways to stay comfortable during these hot days. Take advantage of this weekend as a chance to relax and rejuvenate.

I kindly request everyone to take a moment to read the attached letter regarding our upcoming annual Holleran Resident Engagement Survey for 2023. It will provide you with important information about the survey and what to expect. Your participation and feedback are invaluable in shaping the future of our community.

Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your ongoing support and understanding. Being a part of this compassionate community is an absolute honor, and I eagerly look forward to creating many more cherished memories together.

Thank you once again for your continued involvement and enthusiasm. Let's stay connected and make our community even stronger.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday! I imagine we may have a few Washington (Redskins) Commanders fans celebrating this week after the sale of the team. Hopefully our hometown team can bring home some more wins in the coming months.

We have a few exciting things coming up next week including our Assisted Living trivia tournament. In addition, our activity team in Oasis will be working on expanding our life skills offerings and provide a silverware polishing session. Scheduling specific life skills programs for our residents with dementia has proven to be very successful, we look forward to expanding these programs. As always, thank you for allowing us to serve you and your loved ones. Have a wonderful weekend.

Dear Residents and Families;

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had an opportunity to spend time enjoying the 4th of July holiday. We had a wonderful event at Grand Oaks with residents and families enjoying a BBQ luncheon and music provided by Ordinary People. The residents ate, drank, danced and had a wonderful time. In addition, Jeanina DiVittorio and I once again enjoyed sponsoring the Palisades 4th of July community event by providing the neighborhood with an array of Red, White, and Blue treats at the Palisades Community Center.

Emergency Room Transfers

I wanted to provide clarification to all of our residents and families regarding transfers to the emergency room. In the event of a need for emergency care, for safety it is our policy not to transport residents through the tunnel and hospital system. In the event of a medical emergency requiring additional care, our team will notify EMS for assistance. If a medical condition requires an emergency room visit, families and/or responsible parties may transport their loved one through the tunnel on their own. If you have specific questions about this policy, please reach out to Jessie Charles, Director of Nursing.

We appreciate your continued support; have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we stand on the brink of a momentous occasion, I hope this message finds you filled with anticipation and excitement. In just four days, we will gather together to celebrate the remarkable milestone of July Fourth. May this special day be a source of inspiration, reminding us of the resilient spirit that resides within each of us. Let us join hands in honoring the past, embracing the present, and eagerly looking forward to a future filled with hope and opportunity.

The Pearl Perfection, All-White Party was a resounding success in Oasis! Just three days ago, our Oasis residents gathered for an unforgettable evening of fun and glamour. It was a sight to behold as residents, staff, and families embraced the theme by dressing from head to toe in stylish white attire. The garden underwent a magical transformation into a paradise of all-white decorations, created by our talented team. Andrew, our executive chef, prepared a delectable feast that delighted everyone's taste buds. The mouthwatering delicacies, expertly crafted by Andrew, added an extra touch of culinary perfection to the celebration. Captivating live music filled the air with joyous melodies, creating an atmosphere of pure delight. If you happened to miss this epic gathering, fear not, because we will be hosting these themed events exclusively for our Oasis residents every month throughout the summer. So, mark your calendars and get ready for July's upcoming theme: Silver Breezes & A Summer White Delight. Keep an eye out for the next event on our weekly update, as we can't wait to recreate the magic once again!

On behalf of the entire Grand Oaks team, we extend our warmest wishes for a memorable and uplifting Fourth of July celebration. We are looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday as we create cherished moments and forge lasting memories together.

Greetings, Residents and Families of Grand Oaks,

Happy Friday! As we approach the weekend, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy Friday! We hope that you've accomplished much and savored plenty of joy this week, and that you're eagerly anticipating a restful and replenishing weekend.

As Mother's Day draws near, I would like to extend my warmest wishes for a happy Mother's Day to all of our cherished residents and family members who have taken on the noble role of motherhood. Your tireless efforts and incredible dedication not only enrich the lives of your children, but also contribute to making the world a brighter and better place. We are truly grateful to have each and every one of you as an integral member of our Grand Oaks family, and we honor and celebrate you on this special day. For those of you joining us for our Mother's Day celebration, we hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy the festivities.

Please take a moment to review the exciting updates and friendly reminders provided below. We have critical information that we would like to share with you.

Masking & COVID-19 Guidelines

As of May 11, 2023, the COVID-19 Federal Public Health Emergency Declaration has ended. However, we have not yet received updated guidelines from DC Health. Therefore, our policies have not changed.

DC Health is still working on updating their guidelines for senior healthcare facilities. Once we receive these new guidelines, we will review and update our policies accordingly. In the meantime, Grand Oaks must continue to enforce the current masking and social distancing policies in our community to ensure the safety and well-being of our residents and staff.

During your visits to our community, we kindly request that you comply with our COVID screening procedures and wear a mask. If you do not have a mask, our concierge will provide you with one. If you have any concerns about your ability to adhere to this requirement, please contact Laurie Henley directly at lhenley3@jhmi.edu.

We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our community safe and healthy.

Family Forum

I would like to express my gratitude to those who attended our first in-person Family Forum meeting post-COVID. It was a pleasure to see you all in person and to share with you the latest updates from our community. Additionally, the feedback, comments, and suggestions that we received during the meeting are highly valued and considered essential in ensuring the best possible care for your loved ones. We strongly encourage you to continue providing us with your feedback, comments, and suggestions so that we can continuously improve and enhance our services.

For your convenience, I have included the contact information of our leadership team at the bottom of this email. Please do not hesitate to reach out to them with any questions, concerns, or feedback you may have.

Greetings, Residents and Families of Grand Oaks,

We hope that this message finds you well and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. May is National Mental Health Month and we want to take this opportunity to remind everyone how important it is to prioritize your well-being. We understand that life can be stressful and overwhelming at times, so setting aside time for yourself each day can make a world of difference in reducing stress levels.

Whether it's reading a book or going on a walk, find something that brings you joy! This month also serves as an excellent reminder to appreciate all the special things about our loved ones—no matter how small they may be. Make sure to take pictures with them or write down memories together—these moments will last far beyond the present moment.

Thank you for being part of our Grand Oaks family. You are appreciated, valued, and celebrated.

Enjoy your weekend!

Dear Residents and Families,

Greetings and a happy Friday! I hope this message finds you in high spirits and looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

As we wrap up another week, I encourage you to take a moment to appreciate your accomplishments, no matter how big or small they may be. Celebrate your efforts and recharge your batteries for the exciting weekend ahead.

At Grand Oaks, we know how important it is to celebrate life and cherish every moment with our loved ones. And this week was certainly one of celebrations as two of our beloved residents reached incredible milestones: one resident proudly turned 95, while another joyfully celebrated her 105th year! Today, these generous souls celebrated themselves surrounded by their nearest and dearest in a grand event complete with live music, cake, and cocktails that made us all smile.

Seeing our residents surrounded by the people they love, celebrating such a significant milestone with joy and excitement, was truly heartwarming. The event was a reminder of the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones and living life to the fullest. At Grand Oaks, we believe that life should be celebrated, and this event was a testament to that. Let's use this inspiring occasion to remember the power of celebrating each other's accomplishments, no matter what age or stage in life you're at. Let’s jump into any opportunity presented to have some fun together!

Activities

The French and Math Club we recently launched in Oasis has been an absolute hit! Our memory care residents have been participating enthusiastically in the activities, which include learning basic French phrases and solving math problems. We have seen fantastic participation and engagement from our residents, and we are thrilled to see them enjoying themselves so much. The club has been an excellent opportunity for them to engage their minds, socialize with others, and have some fun. By learning basic French phrases and solving math problems, our residents can challenge themselves and engage their minds, which is vital for mental stimulation and helps improve cognitive function. We appreciate our residents' enthusiasm for the club and the staff's hard work in making it a success. We believe that providing engaging activities like this is essential to enhancing our residents' quality of life.

If you have any questions or suggestions for new activities and programs, please do not hesitate to reach out to Jordan Asrat, Director of Activities, at yasrat1@jhmi.edu. We appreciate your involvement in our community and look forward to continuing to serve you and your loved ones.

Next week's program schedules for Assisted Living and Oasis are below.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

As we wrap up another productive week, just wanted to drop a quick note and remind you all to take care of yourselves. We all work hard, but it's important to remember to be kind to yourself and focus on positivity. So, let's make this weekend count! Take a moment to appreciate the little things and create memories that will last a lifetime. And of course, indulge a little - you deserve it.

Activities

Yesterday, our Assisted Living neighborhood was buzzing with excitement as four residents and four staff members teamed up to create their ultimate chili masterpieces. The competition was fierce, with secret ingredients being prepped since Wednesday and chili simmering away early Thursday. The aroma of savory spices filled the halls, sending anticipation levels sky high. At 3 pm, the Commons was packed to the gills with chili enthusiasts savoring every bite, laughing, and bonding over their love of good food. After all was said and done, it turns out that everyone was a winner thanks to the magic of chili-powered bonding!

Want to know who came out on top? You can find out the result of this tasty treat showdown on the Grand Oaks Facebook page and Tiktok. Check it out and follow us to stay up to date on all the fun events and activities in our community! And who knows, maybe you'll even take-home top honors in the next Grand Oaks Cook-Off!

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday!

Wishin' you a wee bit of fun and a lot 'o' luck on St. Patrick's Day! May the day bring you joy and happiness as you celebrate the Irish culture and traditions with your loved ones. Sláinte!

Today was a special day at Grand Oaks. It was St. Patrick's Day, and everyone gathered to celebrate in style! This afternoon, our residents gathered in the commons and the Oasis Activities Room, dressed for the occasion and ready to have a good time. The celebration started with live traditional Irish music, dancing, and wine, beer, and sweet treats.

Little did they know that their celebrations would take an even more magical turn when a mysterious figure began making its way through the crowd: a green man in a top hat who seemed to have sprung right out of an old folktale! Everyone quickly realized that this must be their very own leprechaun friend here to grant three wishes to whoever caught him first! Cheers erupted from all corners as our little leprechaun made his rounds. Everyone was delighted by his presence and welcomed him warmly into their festivities. The leprechaun began dancing around the room, doing jigs and reels with anyone willing to join him!

It was a day to remember—what started off as any old St. Patrick's Day celebration in our community ended up becoming a one-of-a-kind occasion when the leprechaun joined our festivities. Watching all the residents and staff come together to join in the fun was truly priceless. All eyes were filled with joy and laughter as our magical visitor gifted our lucky participants with three wishes each!

With our St. Patrick's Day celebration concluding, we can't help but look ahead to the spring and summer season with promise and excitement. As the weather warms up, our residents will have more opportunities to participate in outdoor activities, from gardening to enjoying nature walks around our lush campus. We also plan to plan more fun holiday events, like Mother's Day and Father's Day brunches, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July cookouts. However, nothing could take away the joy our leprechaun companion brought us this St. Patrick's Day. His presence reminded us that small moments shared together bring larger moments of happiness and unforgettable memories. No matter what holiday we celebrate next, we look forward to seeing how this cheerful little leprechaun spreads more joy throughout our community!

But let's all work together to keep our home clean by kindly disposing of your pets waste responsibly. That way everyone can enjoy the sparkling environment that makes Grand Oaks so special. Thank you for doing your part in helping us maintain a safe and clean space for everyone.

Dining Services: Dine with Us! Make Your Reservation in Our Main Dining Room

After months of anticipation, we are thrilled to announce that our dining room is now open for guests! On Wednesday, March 1st, we reopened our doors for guests for the first time since the pandemic began. To ensure the safety of all residents and guests, we have implemented a few rules and regulations.

First and foremost, reservations must be made at least seven days in advance. We have limited reservation slots for parties of five or less each meal and only one reservation per meal for larger parties that can be accommodated in our Private Dining Room. Guests will dine in the far-left section of the dining room.

In addition to making a reservation, guests are also asked to wear a mask if they get up from their table at any time during their visit. This includes Sunday Brunch - so don't forget your masks! This is all part of our commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all guests. Our team is dedicated to providing top-notch service and creating an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones.

Dear Residents and Families;

We hope everyone had a wonderful week and enjoyed the beautiful weather that graced us.

Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras Celebration

The day began with a jubilant cheer that echoed throughout Grand Oaks as residents and staff celebrated Mardi Gras. Pancakes were flipped, parades were thrown, and music filled the air.

Residents in Oasis kicked off their celebration by making Shrove pancakes and then taking part in an exciting parade through the neighborhood. As they marched along, residents and the Oasis team cheered them on and waved colorful flags in support of the revelry. The parade had a festive atmosphere that was complemented by the sweet aroma of pancakes wafting through the air. After their march concluded, residents settled down to enjoy some tasty mini king cakes followed by classic New Orleans jazz tunes for dancing. Throughout the afternoon, residents laughed together as they swayed back and forth across the dance floor while enjoying each other's company.

Meanwhile over in assisted living, more festivities continued for those eager participants who took part in a special Mardi Gras scavenger hunt throughout the day! Afterward winners were announced amidst cheers from all those gathered around before everyone moved onto enjoying Fat Tuesday to its fullest potential - eating king cakes, drinking delicious beverages, listening to mesmerizing New Orleans jazz, and of course, lots of dancing!

All in all, our Mardi Gras celebration here at Grand Oaks was an absolute blast & thank you to everyone that joined us during this memorable occasion!

The Oasis activity programs are scheduled to return to normal on Monday, February 6, 2023. Both activity schedules for next week are below.

“National Dark Chocolate Day” Wed, February 1st

From the smiles on everyone's faces, it was clear that National Dark Chocolate Day was a success! As the aroma of freshly baked dark chocolate lava cake permeated the air, more residents emerged from their rooms to partake in the fun. The atmosphere was filled with joy as everyone enjoyed their cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with fresh strawberries. We shared stories and reminisced about our favorite recipes while indulging in the sweet flavor of dark chocolate.  A sense of camaraderie filled the room as residents shared memories of moms, grandmothers, and aunts baking with dark chocolate. Everyone enjoyed the delicious treats, and the warm atmosphere created by their shared stories. We can’t wait for the next baking club event.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope everyone has had a great week and is looking forward to a restful weekend

This week, we had both residents and staff who tested positive in our Oasis neighborhood. As a precaution, all Oasis residents got tested yesterday, and all positive results have already been reported to their families. To ensure the health and safety of all our residents, we are suspending communal dining and activities, and the salon will not be scheduling Oasis residents next week. Please contact the wellness team if you require any additional clinical information. Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate through COVID.

AL Activity Program Updates

In honor of National Dark Chocolate Day, our baking club will be making a rich, gooey, and luxurious dark chocolate lava cake in the air fryer on Wednesday, Feb. 1. We are all looking forward to the special treat. The weekly activity schedule for Assisted Living is below.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Friday, everyone!

I hope this Friday finds everyone feeling healthy and happy! Let's make it a great start to the weekend by enjoying some fun activities and taking some time to relax.

This week, residents celebrated International Flower Day by making flower arrangements for themselves or to give to friends. Residents discussed their favorite flowers and shared memories of when they received flowers as gifts from family and friends. Everyone enjoyed a sense of creativity and connectedness while they worked together in small, socially distant groups.

I am pleased to report that there were no positive COVID cases this week. In light of this positive news, the Assisted Living dining room and activity programs will open fully Monday, January 23. We recognize the importance of socialization, activities, and meaningful interactions for our residents during this time, and our staff will be working diligently to make sure residents get the opportunity to get out of their rooms, visit with their friends, and engage in all the exciting community activities.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Thursday! I am pleased to communicate that beginning today, we will open the Assisted Living dining room seating to two residents per table. We have not had any additional COVID cases and our positive resident and staff have surpassed their 10 day isolation period. As communicated earlier this week, we plan to fully reopen both the Assisted Living dining room and activity programs on Monday, January 23rd. Grand Oaks will provide additional communication if these plans change.

As always, we appreciate your support as we navigate through our most recent COVID cases.

Dear Residents and Families,

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! On this MLK Day, let us find ways to honor him in our own lives by checking in on ourselves and those around us. Self-care and a simple act of kindness can be powerful acts of resistance and change.

Over the past week, we have had one positive resident and one positive staff member. DC Health Guidance recommends a full reopening after 14 days with no cases. We are working with DC Health to slowly increase our dining capacity for later this week, then plan for a full reopening on January 23, assuming no new positive cases. We are grateful for your continued support, and we are committed to following DC Health's guidelines to ensure the safety of our residents, staff, and visitors.

The wellness office at 202-349-3424 is available to help with any questions or concerns you may have about the health of your loved ones.

We understand that this has been a difficult time for everyone, and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to move toward our goal of a full reopening on January 23.

Dear Residents and Families,                                                       

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and please take a few minutes to review the programs we will be offering in both neighborhoods next week.

I'd like to remind everyone that all family visits must be done in your loved ones' apartment. Families are not allowed to visit their loved ones in the library, the Commons, or other areas where residents gather. It is important that we follow the guidelines of DC Health and remain mindful of everyone's health and safety.

Dear Residents and Families,

Please see the COVID-19 update letter below that will be delivered to residents this afternoon.

Dear Residents and Families,    

Thank you again for your patience as we navigate the current COVID-19 cases in the community. We had one additional staff member and one additional exposed resident test positive earlier this week. We continue to have no active cases of COVID-19 related to the Oasis memory care neighborhood.

Assuming there are no additional Assisted Living cases through the weekend and Monday, we will reopen our community on Tuesday morning for limited dining and activities. We will send another communication on Monday to confirm our reopening. As a reminder, unless you/your loved one is currently in isolation for a positive result or exposure, the residents are not quarantined at this time. Grand Oaks is unable to schedule and/or coordinate any communal gatherings at this time.   Residents are able to leave their apartments, move about the community, and visit with each other.

Please contact the Wellness Office at 202-349-3424 if you have questions about you/your loved one's current isolation status.
