Last year’s Northern Hills’ activity director, Lynn Fleckenstein, found herself scrambling to include every possible activity in their annual week-long celebration, National Assisted Living Week.
A week that included a pep rally, Northern Hills’ own King & Queen, a tailgate party, wagon rides, and door prizes….just to name a few. All the events started off on September 7th and then had about three to four activities a day that were centered around the love for dance, music, nature, varied cultures, food, animals, state, and country.
On top of that, the residents received a special visit from Congressman Steve King. Northern Hills and the local chapter of the AARP sponsored the reception and the residents signed the “Divided We Fail” pledge and got to visit with the Congressman.
These great events in this action packed week didn’t go with out national recognition. Fleckenstein, and the staff at Northern Hills received the National Assisted Living Week Programming Award. The spotlight came from the National Center for Assisted Living and the American Health Care Association in “Provider” magazine.
Congratulations to Northern Hills on this special award and we are proud to have them here in Siouxland with all of the great things they do for their residents and the community.
