Celebrating!
Shortly before celebrating the July 4th holiday, Noble Horizons celebrated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Week to recognize the indispensable contributions to resident life made by Noble CNAs. CNAs enjoyed ice cream sundaes from an ice cream emergency vehicle featuring the logo "Saving Lives One Scoop at A Time" while the Nursing Directors showered them with gifts of gratitude and appreciation.
Hopefully, you have received your summer issue of Noble's printed newsletter, On the Horizon, which offers wonderful reflections of Noble's first half-century as well as news of upcoming 50th celebration events. Please email Caroline if you haven't received one or click here to read it. You can also learn more about 50th plans from Marshall Miles' NPR/WHDD interview with Caroline Burchfield.
Summer days at Noble are anything but lazy, though the living does seem easy compared to the challenges of the last few years! Life is truly thriving once again and the joy of living in a community rich in beauty, opportunities and wonderful people is fueling a memorable summer. We hope you are also settling into a summer full of ice cream and plenty of easy living.
