Real RSC Event: Support and Holiday Magic

Real RSC Event: Support and Holiday Magic

As a Resident Service Coordinator, it’s always rewarding to see how events and programs can positively impact our community. In November and December, we created opportunities for connection, health, and learning that truly made a difference.

Mickey G's Thanksgiving dinner brought warmth and joy to our residents, many of whom shared how much it meant to feel like family during the holiday season. These moments of togetherness strengthen the bonds within our community and remind us of the power of shared experiences.



Park Ave Pharmacy provided flu and COVID vaccines, ensuring our residents had convenient access to vital healthcare services. This initiative not only promoted wellness but also demonstrated our commitment to supporting residents’ health needs.

Finally, we wrapped up our 4-week Food is Medicine classes, presented by Lifespan. These sessions empowered residents with knowledge about how nutrition plays a crucial role in their overall well-being, inspiring healthier choices and lifestyles.

In December, we welcomed BH Link, who shared critical mental health resources and showed residents what it’s like to call their support line. Residents were surprised to learn they could even call on behalf of a friend, helping them feel more prepared to support loved ones in need.



At the start of the month, residents came together to decorate the tree with ornaments they crafted in November. We then celebrated with our very first tree lighting countdown, filling the room with excitement and holiday cheer as the lights illuminated their beautiful handiwork. These moments highlighted the importance of connection, creativity, and coming together as a community.

 

December was filled with festive cheer! Residents enjoyed pictures with Santa, featuring my son dressed as Santa, capturing heartwarming moments with family, neighbors, and their furry companions.

Knowing how much joy and comfort my residents' furry companions bring them, I made holiday treat boxes for the pets and transformed their photos taken with Santa as a personalized holiday card for each resident. This small act truly brightened their season.

It’s incredible to witness how these efforts come together to enrich the lives of our residents. The 2024 holiday season was a beautiful example of how we can foster a thriving and supportive community.
