Madison House Independent & Assisted Living

It was fashion, food, and a celebration of moms this weekend at Madison House! We held our 2nd annual resident and family fashion show. All ages walked our runway and after the show we toasted our mothers and grandmothers with champagne while feasting on delectable hors d'oeuvre's."
Thank you to all who came and walked in our show. You made this experience one we will not forget.

Happy Nurse's Week to our 24 hour nurses that put in so much time and effort around the clock to make sure we all are cared for in quality ways.

This is the 2nd time we are planning a spring fashion show. The first one was such a hit! Residents, care staff and family members are encouraged to walk the runway in their most favorite and outlandish outfits. There will be a champagne reception following the fashion show. Heavy hours d'oeuvres will be served. This year we will also honor mothers as the next day is Mother's Day.

We recently had the privilege of hosting a Writers Symposium featuring four incredible female authors who shared their captivating stories, experiences, and wisdom. 🎤📝 Here's a glimpse into the enriching event:

🌺 Naomi Wark - "Wildflowers in Winter"
Naomi delved into the poignant family saga of "Wildflowers in Winter." The narrative follows Edna Pearson, a 92-year-old navigating physical decline and dementia, grappling with the loss of her last child. Will her perspective on family life change before it's too late?

👫 Rosalys Peel - "Mike & Me"
Rosalys shared the inspiring journey of a courageous couple managing Alzheimer's at home. "Mike & Me" is a heartwarming success story, offering a glimpse into the daily battles against the disease. It serves as a powerful example for couples facing similar challenges in their homes.

🌟 Florrie Munat - "Be Brave"
Florrie's memoir, "Be Brave," takes us through a wife's journey of caretaking after her spouse's severe stroke. Assumed to be the end of their marriage, Florrie's inspiring story invites you on a rollercoaster journey as she cares for her spouse with dementia.

🌲 Steph Jagger - "Everything Left to Remember"
Steph, a renowned mentor and life coach, shared her profound work at the intersection of loss, remembrance, and personal re-creation. "Everything Left to Remember" takes you on a winding trip with Steph and her mother, who is battling dementia, as they explore national parks across the US, confronting the challenges of memory loss.

We hope these incredible stories resonate with you as much as they did with us. If you're intrigued by the transformative power of storytelling, consider joining us for future events at Madison House! 🏡✨
