As we prepare for the outdoors, sunshine, and the warmth of the new season, our community at the Riverside can expect to participate in some of the familiar weekly and monthly programming and some new additions to kick off the fun of summer. We will begin the season with a celebration, and every day, we will offer a new opportunity to join in on an adventure. Patients and residents are encouraged to review their special events and daily calendars to highlight the programs they are interested in so their recreation professionals can include them in future events.
On Sunday, June 16th – Father’s Day Celebratory Program
The Riverside will celebrate our fathers with gift giveaways and a Father’s Day Celebratory Program that includes live music, food, and beverages. This event will be for all the fathers and father figures within the community, and there is no need to RSVP. The recreation team members will be strolling unit to unit, room to room, to ensure all the men in the house are involved in the celebrations. Family and loved ones of our residents are invited to partake in recognizing and giving the men their honor. This event will begin at 2:00 p.m. on the 16th of June and follow into later evening.
