The dedication of the new water garden featuring “The Bird Feeder” bronze sculpture in the Health Care Center courtyard was held on Tuesday, September 23rd with more than 85 guests in attendance. This beautiful new highlight to the Home was made possible by very generous gifts from over 100 residents, families and friends.

Recently, residents were asked to submit their suggestions for a name and more than twenty suggestions were received. After reviewing the suggested names, the chosen name for the water feature is (drum roll please)…….. “Reflections”. Therefore, this area of the Home will be known as “The Reflections Courtyard”.

“Reflections” embraces a common theme or spirit of the more than twenty name suggestions submitted. So, although it was not specifically one of the individual suggestions, ”Reflections” was certainly inspired by the collective whole of the suggestions. We want to thank each resident who submitted their theme or idea: Ruth Johnson, Vallee Kidd, Ruth Staudt, Madelyne Kyser, Art Whitt, Sallie Engelson, Ellen Henneke, Pat Washington, Marian Franks, and Irene Dickens.
