The adult family home setting is wonderful for residents – especially my residents, who are developmentally disabled. Besides the environment being homey, it is filled with love, caring and joy.
During the rainy days of spring, the Lincoln Park residents enjoyed hearing me act out the “Wizard of Oz” – especially the voice of the munchkins and the Wicked Witch of the West. Was that Toto that barked?
The residents then participated in a “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” sing-a- long: “Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly…”
With the sun shining and a warm breeze of summer, the Lincoln Park residents listened for birds flying across the blue sky. They looked through the binoculars, searching for birds in the trees at Lincoln Park.
Volunteers from Living Stones Ministries Rock On! cut the remaining yarn from their 500-knitted and loomed hats for the homeless last winter in downtown Seattle for the Lincoln Park residents to spread among areas around the park for the birds to build their nest.
The residents and team members had so much fun spreading the yarn that a family asked if they could join us. Then the family sat down with the residents and visited.
Please contact me if you are interested working in my adult family home. I have a couple of openings for CNAs and HCAs. Share the joy!
