Summer Time 2010!!!

We at Golden Pond are very excited to announce that on July 1, 2010, we officially 
began our new partnership with Senior Living Residences, who are providing multiple
levels of dementia care in their new program, Compass Memory Support at 
Golden Pond.

This new partnership will allow us to continue meeting the needs of the residents of 
Hopkinton and the surrounding communities who need specialized dementia care. All 
of our programs continue to thrive, even in these difficult economic times because of 
the quality of care that you have come to expect from Golden Pond.  We are very 
excited that we can offer the quality, care and compassion we provide every day to 
that many more of you.

Our wonderful Activities Department continues to plan many trips out each week in 
our beautiful new 14 passenger van! There is also quite a buzz in the air here about 
our new brain fitness program, developed just for seniors; this program actually self-
adjusts the level of challenge in real time so that individuals are stimulated with fun 
brain games at their level. Exercising the brain as we know will help stave off 
cognitive decline, but research has shown that a consistent, long-term participation 
in a cognitive stimulation program can actually reduce the risk of dementia by 60%. 
We have begun to roll out this program with our residents both in groups and alone. 
If you have any questions about this exciting new tool please contact either Bill Marr 
or me.

We recently took another trip to the Tower Hill - Botanical Gardens where we were 
able to enjoy breath-taking views and gorgeous flowers. It is no wonder why this 
become a preferred excursion for many of our Residents. Art group, exercise with 
Sundance Rehabilitation, (who are located right in our building!) communion, prayer 
meetings, trips to library and more will continue throughout the summer months.

The children in our Golden Goose Academy continue to take part in our regular 
exercise classes as well as joining us for games and crafts throughout the summer 
which we always enjoy. They have also been entertaining us with many patriotic 
songs as we continue to celebrate not only our country’s birth date but also two very 
special birthdays those of Golden Pond and Golden Goose Academy which have been 
open for eighteen years!  We are very proud of our longevity and our successes in 
both areas.

We also had a very special group of guests recently, the children from the Elmwood 
Elementary school in Hopkinton who came once again to interview our residents 
and write bios of them. They then came back with a slide show and everyone got to 
see themselves ‘on the big screen.’ Many of our Residents really enjoy this activity so 
we would like to thank them for thinking of us once again!
