Welcome to the October issue of the Greek American Times.

The last month of summer was enjoyed by all of our residents! We loved the time spent on the patio. We encourage families to stay in touch with your loved ones by making appointments to visit through the fence on the patio. As of now, we do not have any new information regarding future upcoming visits. We will be sure to keep you all updated as soon as we have any new information regarding indoor visits as we enter the fall and winter season.

We have purchased two new iPads and we will continue to offer FaceTime oppor- tunities to all. Additionally, we have a Samsung Tablet which we can use for video calls through DUO. We will accommodate FaceTime calls during business hours. We understand how difficult these times are, especially to our residents.

The email for iPad FaceTime is: [email protected] and the email for the Samsung Tablet video call is: [email protected]

October is a fun month as we begin fall activities, and realize that the exciting and busy holiday season will soon be here. In October, we decorate for Halloween as we discuss what costume to wear for the day. This year, we are very excited to continue the tradition of our annual Halloween Costume Contest Parade. The staff will dress up and our residents will vote on who has the BEST Halloween Costume! Who will win this year?

We are so thrilled to have our residents patriciate in our October FUN DAYS as we start smaller group Socials and programming.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing our many fun activities in our next issue. We hope to see you in the near future.
