What do you do when you lose the basketball? You improvise with tennis balls! Our residents love playing this wacky game our activity aide Annie came up with! They have to bounce the tennis balls into the basket! You can hear the laughter through the halls and even had both sides of our activity area filled with players!
Good Luck Ashley
Our staff and residents wished Ashley good luck on her new adventure this Friday as this was her last day at Pleasant Meadows. We wish her all of the best!
February 2024 Employee of the Month Josh Spain
Josh was born in Danville IL. to Larry and Stacie Spain. He has one brother and two sisters. He is currently married to Haylee and they do not have children of their own but are raising his sister Hannah. Josh has worked at PMSL for a little over two years and started out working as a helping hand. He now is currently a CNA and RNA. He states the most enjoyable part of his job is spending time with each resident and hearing about the stories of their past. He also enjoys being able to share lunch with his wife each day as they currently work together. One of his favorite moments at PMSL is being able to join the Restorative Therapy team and helping the residents grow stronger each day. He states that the biggest challenge he has faced in his career is dealing with the loss of resident that you become very close to. When asked what advice he would give to future PMSL employees, Josh states, be attentive, polite and courteous and treat all residents as if they were your own family. In his leisure Josh enjoys fishing, working out and spending time with his family. PMSL would like to thank Josh for his dedication and kindness to all of our residents.
Science for Seniors
Today was the first day of our new activity called Science for Seniors. Our residents had so much fun making their own DIY lava lamps and learning the history behind them!
