I pray that the prospective residents/family feel the love and experience the genuine kindness when they walk through the doors of Harbison Shores in Irmo! My mom has been a resident since 2018. Unfortunately not all the past experiences have been pleasant, but so far under this management I sense a more resident/family centered facility. Everyone is amazing, from the maintenance staff, to the administrator! I have heard caregivers affectionately calling my mom, “mom” or “grandma” depending on their age; telling her they love her while putting her to bed with big good night hug! They comb her ...hair in different styles and allow her to look in the mirror to see how absolutely beautiful she is when it could be just as easy to let her remain looking disheveled. I’ve seen the maintenance staff take the time to talk to her and sing to her just as if she were their mom! The nurse and administrator listens to the family and implement actions that’s in the best interest of the resident. Needless to say this makes my heart smile and I will be forever grateful to the staff of Harbison Shores for how they LOVE my mom in my absence.
Show MoreLessHalloween Cookie Recipe Back
Trick or treat! Halloween is right around the corner and there are many fun holiday themed snacks to eat. Witches’ hats are a fun and easy treat you can make by yourself or with your grandkids. You can give them out to other residents to brighten their day or send them home with your grandkids to give out. Ingredients you will need:
· Fudge stripe cookies · Milk chocolate or dark chocolate candy kisses · Honey · Decorating gel
Place a fudge stripe cookie with the bottom side up onto a flat work surface. Smear a small amount of honey onto the bottom of the cookie or the chocolate candy. (About 1/8 of a teaspoon) Use the honey to secure the kiss candy to the center of the cookie, covering the hole. (You can substitute chocolate icing or peanut butter for honey as the glue for your kiss candy.) You can use the decorating gel, in the color of your choice, to add a small bow, buckle or ribbon to add the finishing touches to your witches’ hat. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and enjoy!
