We are Fallin' for FALL!!! 🍁🍂🍄.
At St. Camillus, it is so important that we create a home-like environment for our residents. Because, after all, this is their home. That's why we decorate for each season. A special thank you to Rob, Director of Environmental Services, and Brian, Director of Purchasing/Materials Management, for going above and beyond decorating our courtyards and sprinkling autumn coziness throughout our campus 🎃. It looks just gourd-geous!

Earlier this month, we had the privilege of recognizing three individuals who have made, and continue to make, a significant impact on St. Camillus at our CELEBRATION of SERVICE event held at Inn of The Seasons. Together, they have contributed 76 years of dedicated service!
Please join us in congratulating:
- Aileen Balitz, 48 years of service, St. Camillus President & CEO
-James Spencer, St. Camillus Board Member 2006-24, Chair 2012-23,
-Artemis Gilbert, Extraordinary Volunteer & Co-Director of the St. Camillus Gift Shop.
We have been truly blessed by their presence and commitment. Their unwavering devotion exemplifies their desire to make a lasting difference. When we reflect on the qualities that define Aileen, Jim, and Artie, words like passion, dedication, resilience, leadership, compassion, humility, persistence, skill, and generosity come to mind. These attributes have not only defined them personally but have also enabled them to leave an indelible mark on this organization and its mission. I hope each of you knows how important you are to St. Camillus, to the board and to the community.
Thank you isn't enough.
Also, if you're thinking of hosting an event Inn of The Seasons was incredible!

It's a BIRD, it's a PLANE, No - it's SUPER MILO! Today our friends had a special visitor, MILO the dog. His person, Heather, is an amazing member of our Recreation Therapy team. He's the beloved furry friend to our residents & they look forward to each visit. He was very proud to show off his Halloween costume to his humans on the D-Unit. No tricks, just treats. And a few doggie kisses. What a SUPER way to kick-off our Halloween season at St. Camillus.
PS- Being a canine superhero is EXHAUSTING.

Our friends on the 3rd floor had a BALL!
We love doing smaller group activities with our residents. It allows us to spend more one-on-one time with each other. This week we played QUESTION BALL! It's a simple game with either/or questions on a ball. Residents can either catch the ball or put their hand on it - landing on a question. OH MY - How fun! This game sparked lots of conversation and even more laughs! This is just one of the ways we get to learn more about our friends and keep them actively engaged in a social event. So here's what we learned:
Hot Fudge OR Strawberries??? Ans: 🍓🍓🍓
Piano or Guitar??? Ans: 🎹🎹🎹
Ice Cream or Cake??? Ans: 🍰🍰🍰
Do today or put off til tomorrow??? Ans: (DUH! Put off til tomorrow!)
Peanut Butter or Jelly??? Ans: 🥜🥜🥜
Coke or Pepsi??? Ans: Pepsi! 🥤🥤🥤
**And, our absolute FAVORITE ANSWER....
Hugs or Kisses??? Ans: BOTH 😘😘😘
