On Saturday, May 9 the Antwerp Manor held a Parade to celebrate mothers and all of their residents. Residents lined the sidewalk and participants lined up around the block to drive past their loved ones. These new normals are giving family and friends a chance to connect with their loved ones who live at the assisted living facility. Many people showed up on this chilly Saturday to say “Hello”.
With the restrictions that the COVID-19 lockdown has brought upon nursing homes and assisted living facilities, it has been difficult for visitations. This makes for a somewhat lonely life for Antwerp Manor residents as they miss having regular visits with their family and friends. Jennifer Ramsier, Antwerp Manor Activities Director, has been planning this parade for several weeks to ensure that they would get to see their families in a safe, social-distanced, manner.
The residents had a great time and so did the participants! They know they are loved at the Antwerp Manor!
