GV World of Love Foundation's mission is to help the elderly and orphans that live in senior homes and orphanages celebrate holidays like normal families, where they can find comfort in friends, love from the society, and realize that their presence has not been forgotten, in hopes that the elders and orphans will understand that our current society is still filled with love and hope, and they will not need to be alone. Talented artists, singers and dancers showcased their talents much to the delight of the residents. [ Read more ]

This month our Memory Care Lunch Club had an island-style luncheon. This program, created by activity assistant Lucy Tavale, a native to the Samoan Islands, took our residents on a trip through the South Pacific with activities and a special Hawaiian plate lunch.

Those not familiar with Hawaiian plate lunch need to visit Maui Barbecue located in the city of Oceanside, home to a community of Polynesians such as NFL Linebacker Junior Seau, Historic Novelist Robert Shaffer, and the Creator of cup stacking Wayne Godinet.

To understand the plate lunch concept, one must look back to the history of the food that Maui Barbeque has branded as– the Hawaiian plate lunch. The traditional Hawaiian plate lunch consists of two servings of rice, a serving of macaroni salad, and features a generous serving of hot barbecue chicken, beef, and pork. [ Read more ]

The Memory Care at Churchill brought in St.Patrick's Day with the true luck of the Irish. The whole entire neigborhood was completely decorated in clovers and green whimisical wisps of confetti We had a traditional Bagpiper that enticed a few Residents to dance a jig or two.

Our Residents and staff were dressed for the occasion, adding to the ambiance. We also had a bounty of green treats to go around - Appletini's and Green beer of course, all alchol free to make this day more festive. Fun was had by all with their rainbows and pots of gold at the end.
