Yesterday in honor of Halloween, many members of the staff at Central Gardens Residential Care dressed up in many different costumes and enjoyed spending Halloween at work.
Not only did just the staff get involved, however; many of the residents wanted to participate as well. Throughout the halls of Central Gardens yesterday you might have seen some residents with Halloween-related face paint on their face, which was painted by one of the staff members.
Every month at Central Gardens a birthday party is held on one afternoon to help celebrate all the residents who have birthdays in that month. It just so happens that yesterday’s Birthday Party has been conjoined into a Halloween Celebration as well.
Staff members took part in decorating the dining room with Halloween items so the residents could enjoy cake in the Halloween atmosphere.
This was a fun time for all: staff and residents. There were lots of laughs shared between staff members and residents commenting on some of the costumes that were worn.
Pictured above are a few staff members posing in their costumes.
This was a fun time for everyone included in Central Gardens! The residents loved seeing their everyday staff members dressed up as a little something different.
