Winter Wonderland - A Feast for Family and Friends

Christopher Heights of Worcester celebrated the winter season at our Winter Wonderland Open House Event. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful winter day with bright sunshine and blue skies!

About 220 residents, employees and their guests were treated to an amazing assortment of delicious foods. Hors d oeuvres included assorted cheeses, crackers and a fresh fruit display, creamy clam chowder and homemade lobster bisque. The main course included herbed steamship au jus with horseradish sauce on the side, roast turkey with fresh tarragon gravy, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, glazed baby carrots and green beans almondine. Guests were inspired to save room for dessert and indulge in their selections from a huge assortment of sweets.

Residents, employees and their guests were invited to have their portraits taken and received a free 5x7 photograph, as a gift from Christopher Heights of Worcester. Portraits were taken by Casson-Foster Photographers of Auburn.

Keyboard music was provided by Nan Connor and everyone enjoyed trying their luck at the raffle of themed baskets, with all proceeds going to the Resident Activity Fund.

Chair Yoga Offered to Residents

Christopher Heights of Worcester offered an introductory Chair Yoga class in November and the responsd from our residents was very positive. All of those attending agreed that they would like to see Yoga offered as a regular weekly exercise class and so Michelle Jones, Adminissions Director, glady obliged.

Yoga promotes health and well-being by working with the mind, body and spirit. Our Yoga class focuses on breathing exercises (called pranayama), yoga postures (called asanas) and a period of relaxation and meditation.

There are regularly between 10-15 seniors who attend the weekly class, which lasts a half hour. Some of the benefits of Yoga that our seniors are already noticing include more flexibility, being more purposeful in their movements so as not to cause injury, having the tools needed to relax and also better sleeping patterns.
