Category: What are we doing lately?

Sunday afternoon, May 7, 2017, a volunteer work team organized by a parent of a Greenwood Home resident gathered to clean up the Greenwood grounds and spread mulch to beautify garden areas.  Volunteers included family, friends, and employees.  Funding for the mulch for this project was secured from grant monies secured from Thrivent Financial’s “Action Team” program as well as from Greenwood sources.  Volunteers raked, hoed, and hauled debris.  No Seattle rain fell during the project and a good time was had by all!

Our clients make an annual trek to Sol Duc hot springs on the Olympic Peninsula.  They enjoy food, fun and fellowship with the staff that travel with them.   Special wheelchairs are provided to clients that need adaptive equipment so they can enjoy the hot springs pools along with our clients who walk.  Splish splash!

Halloween 2016…  Erin, Asqual and Kristen, Kristen, Colene and Carol.   You’re never too old to get your costume on!

Who doesn’t love to hit the lanes and bowl a few?  Obviously our residents enjoy it as much as anyone…  We have every level of bowler including Colene has her own ball and bowling shoes.   Stephen just likes to watch the heroics of the others.   Everyone has a great time and we would like to say a special thank you to “Full Moon Thai” for being terrific hosts for our lunch!

Our clients like to enjoy the Seattle Sunshine as much as anyone!  We take regular trips to picnic at Greenlake park and Carkeek Park.   Connecting with the community and enjoying every day trips are past-times that everyone loves.

The residents at the Greenwood Home participate in organic gardening!  In fact, the sunflower on our front page is a nine foot sunflower grown here by our residents.  With a little assistance and encouragement, our residents have managed to grow green beans, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, squash, roses, herbs and even catnip for Doug’s cat Mystery.  Assisting the residents to plant and harvest the garden is one way we enjoy our Seattle sunshine!
