On Monday, June 28, 2004 our residents enjoyed a trip to Maine where they visited York Beach, Cape Neddick (“Nubble”) Lighthouse and enjoyed lobster at Fosters’ Downeast Clambake. Here, Wayne, our Recreation Director, has a bit of fun with Dot Levensaler and one of Fosters’ delicious lobsters before it made it to the pot.

Little Visitor
Intergenerational programming is important to the residents of Granite Ledges of Concord. Some programming is scheduled, for example, visits with the Learning Center at Concord Hospital. Other programming is spontaneous, as it was the day that Holly visited the residents of Granite Ledges. Holly is the daughter of one of the nursing assistants and she enjoys seeing the residents as much as the residents enjoy seeing her! 

Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk 2004
The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk was held on October 16, 2004 at the Concord Statehouse.
