Cindy and family friend, BJ, took Rosa to meet with, the owner of Hilltop Stables. Cindy, the owner of Hilltop, took us all around the grounds to meet several horses that she both owned and boarded. At one point, Cindy brought out a bucket full of brushes, Rosa chose one and started brushing and talking to the horse like she never left the job. We were all filled with emotion including Rosa. Rosa picked up the brush and began grooming the mare. Rosa playfully told the horse, “no kisses on the first date!” Rosa could not stop thanking all involved and continues to talk about her day at the stables with all of her friends!

"My Grandmother recently moved to Emery Place and she is SO HAPPY. I haven’t heard her laugh or seen her as mobile as she has been since moving in. Her only wish is she wants to move to bigger room now! HaHa!! She loves the activities, says the staff is so nice and she gets to stay as busy as she likes. The place is so clean, smells fresh and from my visit I can tell she chose the right place. "

Dare to Dream

Rosa
Rosa enjoys a memory that she had maintained 14 horses and stables for the owner of the NY Yankees, George Steinbrenner. Cindy, Life Enrichment Coordinator, could not imagine a Dare to Dream for Rosa without including horses. Cindy called the owner of Hilltop Stables in local, Robins and made plans for Rosa to visit.

Norma
Norma moved to Emery Place from Arizona almost a year ago to be near her family. She has always loved crafts, decorating and creating memorable pieces from natural elements.
Life Enrichment Coordinator, Cindy, felt that The Farmer’s Daughter would give her an opportunity to see a huge variety of just that.
Norma was amazed at the array of crafts and was welcomed by Jennifer and her staff. Norma enjoyed a delicious lunch of chicken salad and noodle soup as well as one of their famous cinnamon rolls to go. Norma was treated to a beautiful gift basket.
Norma was extremely grateful and thanked Cindy with an emotional hug. A special thanks to The Farmer’s Daughter Market for having us!!!

Ida
Ida was the perfect resident for this Dare to Dream! Ida saw a bright yellow motorcycle pull up at Emery Place and she went outside to take a look. The gentleman that owned the cycle, offered her a ride. At first, Ida thought there was no way that she could get on the cycle… and what would her daughter think about her “hot rodding” around on a bright yellow motorcycle?
Misty, Administrative Assistant, spoke with Ida and told her that she could just sit on it and get her picture taken. After some convincing, Ida, built up the courage to get on the motorcycle.
As Ida was getting on the cycle, her friend and fellow resident, Reverend Ernst, came outside. The two of them decided they better take a few pics together for their families and before we knew it, Ida was asking for a ride around the parking lot.
Ida was all smiles the entire ride!!! Following the ride, she told Reverend Ernst, it was the most excitement she’s had in a long time!!! Ida made sure to tell all of her friends at supper that she went “hot rodding” earlier that day!
