Community Updates

Though we are social distancing, we are still celebrating birthdays and being social at Genesis Village! Take a look at what our residents have been up to.

Socially Distanced Community

Our Genesis Village Garden is a beautiful addition to our senior living community that you can view from our newer deluxe studios & a variety of our south wing apartments, or while enjoying a delicious breakfast or savory gourmet coffee in our "Solid Ground Cafe". Many also enjoy the garden view while taking a stroll through our garden walkway on their way to enjoy a homemade meal in our spacious dining area☀️😁

Yesterday, Deb and Julie helped everyone beat the heat by serving some delicious frozen beverages in our "Solid Ground Coffee Shop" that residents could pick up and take with them!😋

Our most recent Genesis Village "Kudos Jar" winners are:

Thankful for these amazing ladies at Genesis Village that make it a Home Sweet Home💓

I had fun delivering some delicious Genesis Village mini cherry pies to a number of people in our community this week😁🥧❤.

Have a great 4th of July weekend everyone!🇺🇸

We want to give a shout out to these awesome GV staff that work hourly each week! They had perfect attendance for 3 months straight🙌. We are thankful for such an amazing team😁

Attached are some pictures I was able to snag during the Genesis Village lunch we provided for our staff and medical onsite ProMedica staff today. It was pretty busy a few different times during the 2 hours, so I took as many as I could when I wasn't refilling food and passing gifts out.

It seemed like everyone enjoyed their delicious food and new GV lanyards & totes! You guys work hard and we appreciate all you do❤

One of our newer staff shared this with a few of us while she was getting food, so I wanted to pass it along:

"I have to tell you guys that this is the best place I've ever worked. It is so rewarding here. I'm really proud to work here."

Have a great rest of your day and thanks for enjoying lunch with all of us earlier☀️

While working yesterday, I dressed the bears and this impromptu fun began....

Our GV mascot, Teddy, and his lady are sporting our new Genesis Village "Stronger Together" shirts! These two attracted quite the 'socially distanced' crowd which turned into an impromptu photo shoot📸.
Such a fun afternoon we had!!😁❤

(If you look carefully, you will find two new additions to Teddy's family😉)

Every year the Girl Scouts donate a truck load of GS cookies to Heroes In Action. HIA then packs and ships them out from Genesis Village to the troops overseas! Thank you to both organizations for loving on those who sacrifice so much for all of us. ❤🇺🇸

Tonight a few of our residents were out taking a stroll through the GV garden and enjoying the view.

Each month, in true Genesis Village fashion, we load up our cart with delicious cupcakes and buzz through the halls singing 'Happy Birthday' as loud as we can to our amazing residents and staff who gained another beautiful year that month. Lots of laughter and silliness are usually a large part of this parade through the GV building. Happy Birthday to all of those who celebrate this month! You are loved.

Zoom continues to keep our residents and their families connected through the current circumstances. Another silver lining we found is that it has also opened a new opportunity for residents to see family that are even further away....like Russia and New Zealand!

Such amazing and precious moments!

We had the privilege of providing lunch that was delivered to over 100 Kingston of Perrysburg staff today! It was a true blessing for us to show a little extra kindness and love to a fellow senior community during this time

Below is a picture their team sent us along with an email that said:

"The pizza was fabulous and thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness! GV Rocks!"

Meet Teddy!

He has become our "not so little" GV mascot during quarantine. He likes to hangout in random spots throughout our building and you just never know where you will find him.

A HUGE thank you to PENTA for donating hanging baskets, potted plants and individual plants to Genesis Village today!!!

We would like to give special recognition to PENTA staff, Teri Swaisgood (Penta Horticulture/Landscape Management lab) and Rachel Bernhard (Penta Assistant Supervisor of Student Affairs), for making this happen.

Our fellow health care workers need some extra kindness during these very challenging times. Thank you to our GV owners, Jim & Cheryl, for the idea to give back and to PizzAroma for collaborating with us to deliver delicious pizza and chef salads from Genesis Village for the staff at The Lakes of Monclova today!

We are stronger together.

Genesis Village Employees Send Kindness to Health Care Workers

As many of you know, we LOVE pets at Genesis Village and they are a huge part of our resident and staff's daily lives.

This past month, our GV staff submitted photos of their pets and our residents had to guess which pet belonged to each staff member. It was such a fun contest!

Beth, our GV resident, won the contest and Ashley, our GV staff member, had the most correct guesses matching her with the correct pets.

Even in the most challenging times, it is important to remember what we are thankful for.

So many of our GV residents have been chatting, catching up and laughing with their families via "Zoom at Genesis Village" during this quarantine.

All of the smiles and love during these special moments have made so many hearts happy.

Our GV residents do an amazing job at encouraging and keeping all of us laughing.....even during these crazy times.

That includes making light of the toilet paper madness and encouraging us with notes like what Pat's says: "Under the circumstances you seem to be handling things fairly well!!!"
