Lacy the duck and owner, “Toot” Mecherly spend some time with resident Morris Berger.
It’s not unusual for residential care communities, especially those caring for seniors, to have a cat or two, or even a dog, to brighten the lives of their residents. At Chestnut Knoll we have a wide variety of resident animals as well as visiting! In addition to cats and dogs, there are fish, turtles, Lovebirds named Fred and Ethel, and even a duck named Lacy! she visits the residents every Wednesday with her owner Erminie Mercherly, a long-time Chestnut Knoll volunteer known to everyone as ”Toot.” Toot loves to remind everyone that “We don’t serve duck at Chestnut Knoll!” She smiles and remarks on how everyone looks forward to seeing the animals, especially Lacy.
Mabel turns 101!
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010Mabel Bennethum, a resident at Chestnut Knoll turns 101 on July 16, 2010. Ever since she moved in to Chestnut Knoll Residential Care, Mabel has teased the staff that she would like to ride in the laundry cart. The staff jokingly told her that perhaps it would be a possibility for that wish to come true for her birthday. During Happy Hour on Wed, July 14, Mabel was suprised by a decorated laundry cart ready for her to take her Birthday Ride!
Mabel takes a spin for her 101st birthday during the Happy Hour celebration!
