Christmas Day
Families are asked to please let your loved one's nurse know if you will be taking your loved one out of the facility on Christmas Day. This gives staff adequate time to prepare any medications your loved one may need while out of the facility, cancel their lunch or dinner tray and make sure your loved one is looking their best.
If you are planning to eat Christmas Day lunch with your loved one at the facility, please be sure to purchase a meal ticket prior to the 25th. Your meal will be served at your loved one's scheduled meal time.
No meal tickets will be sold on Christmas Day.

Fiber Optic Holiday Trees
Resident's enjoy having their rooms decorated for the holiday season just as we enjoy decorating our homes. Families and volunteers are welcome to bring miniature Christmas trees for the residents of Clapp's but before you pick out that pre-lite tree be sure it's Fiber Optic.

November
No more leaves beneath the trees;
Over is summer's green glow.
Victory sparks rise from the hearth;
Everything breathes the smoke.
Mountains fade, prepare for snow;
Bare is the once lively earth;
Everything grieves.
Rivers of memory flow slow.
