““Knitting is not just a craft, it’s a community.””. Today we dropped off some scarves that residents have made to @pvhsociety . It was so nice to see them being used right away, and the cat cuddles was a fun bonus. Would you or someone you know benefit from some donated knitting?  Send us a dm and we can see if we can make what you need. #createcommunity #connectcommunity #salemhomevolunteers

Calling all artists and community members, we have been inspired by the @winklerartsandculture “chalk up the city” and are joining in on the colorful creativity. We’re asking for groups to “Chalk Up” our patios on August 2 from 2:45 - 3:30. We have 9 outdoor open spaces that are looking pretty plain. We would love for people of all ages to unleash their creativity and join us in transforming our outdoor spaces. 

DM or call us to sign up your group and spend the afternoon creating colorful works of art while making memories for the residents.  Children of all ages are welcome, just note that children under the age of 14 need to have adult supervision. 

As much as we appreciate surprise chalk drawing, please remember that this is the resident’s home and respect their privacy. We are considered private property so it would be best to send us a message asking if you could come spread some creative artwork.

The first Tuesday in April is known as National Caregiver Day. We want to acknowledge the amazing contributions and inspiration we see from the Caregivers that are involved at Salem Home. There are many different types of caregivers we see come through our halls. Caregivers can be the best friends who calls every night at 7:00pm to see how the day went. They are the children who brings their loved one fresh soup and treats. They are the volunteers who spend the evenings playing games and visiting. They are the staff that take an extra 5 minutes to make sure a resident feels loved when they leave the room. 

Caregivers experience many emotions when caring for the people around them. Dealing with all the unknown, the new situations, new people, new words to learn can feel like an emotional rollercoaster.  We want to thank you for your dedication, passion and love. You feel like your work is invisible, but we see it, and the residents feels it.
