Wine Tasting
Wyndemere celebrated its first wine tasting event in February of 2017. Residents sampled 12 different wines and selected their favorites from the categories of red, white, and blushes. The winning wine was featured in the Bistro and all wines were available for purchase. Residents were educated on the history of wine and all of the health benefits that come with drinking it. Following the wild success of this event, it looks to be an annual event for Wyndemere.
Shark Week
In July of 2017, we celebrated Shark Week at Wyndemere to coincide with the program of the same name on Discovery Channel. Residents had the opportunities to attend presentations on shark biology and conservation, sustainable and healthy fish to eat, and tooth and denture care. A special shark-themed arts and crafts event was arranged for residents and their grandchildren. In addition, an ice cream social and Shark Jeopardy were held.
Chicken Run
The Chicken Run was an incredibly successful program designed to help Wyndemere residents and employees start developing lasting wellness habits. Every day in April, people were asked to try and do at least one healthy task which included 20 minutes of exercise, eating 5 servings of fruits/vegetables, 7 hours of sleep, 6 glasses of water, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, 5 minutes of meditation or deep breathing, or introducing yourself to someone you don’t know. For every day that an individual performed at least one of those tasks, they could place one vote for one of 4 employees to wear a chicken costume all day long. Unfortunately for him, Eric from the Bistro received the most votes and wore the suit. He was a great sport about it!
