Fall Fun at Lexington Pointe

Fall Fun at Lexington Pointe

November 20th, 2021

Lexington Pointe Senior Living had a lot of fun on Halloween, which was highlighted by a pre-school/staff costume parade.

Kermit visited our Sesame Street neighborhood. The staff dressed as characters from the show, and we took the preschoolers to visit some of our Garden Cove residents. Chef Josh also made special Sesame Street cupcakes for all the kids. Yum! 🧁

We also celebrated with games like Pumpkin Bowling and Pumpkin Ring Toss. The Count, Kermit, and Fresh Popcorn helped catch the pumpkins and rings before they rolled off the table.

Lexington Pointe Senior Living’s very talented Chef Josh made Sesame Street cupcakes for our little visitors on Halloween. The treats were so detailed and looked just like characters from the popular show. The preschool children loved their snacks and running around in costumes for the holiday!

Lexington Pointe recently hosted its last Happy Hour on the Patio. We wanted to get in one last hurrah before the cold weather moves in.
Norella is enjoying a cold Oktoberfest beer. Cheers! 🍻

Lexington Pointe residents enjoyed a little free shopping excursion at our recent swap meet. We had a lot of items to look through, and our shoppers were happy with their finds!

Residents at Lexington Pointe Senior Living recently paired creativity with wine tasting. Participants enjoyed coloring some fall and Halloween pictures while snacking on delicious cheese and crackers with grapes and sipping on a variety of smooth wines. 🍷🧀🎨

Garden Cove residents decorated windows with tissue paper leaves for a fall craft project. The colorful leaves added a nice touch of autumn, and they sure are pretty to look at! 🍂

Lexington Pointe Senior Living residents gathered to create their own yarn owl craft. They used yarn, buttons, pipe cleaners, jewelry, and other items to design and make their own unique owl, all of which turned out really cute. 🦉

Patriotic Craft & More July Fun

July 23rd, 2021

Lexington Pointe community members flexed their creative muscles with a fun and patriotic craft recently. We created American flags using popsicle sticks, paint, and paper stars, enjoying plenty of laughs and good times along the way! 🇺🇸

Lexington Pointe Senior Living started the month of July off with a birthday happy hour, featuring live accordion music courtesy of our talented friend, Denny. Residents in our Memory Care units also enjoyed the opportunity to visit and get creative with a fun Fourth of July craft. The results were spectacular! 🇺🇸🎉

Lexington Pointe hosted a successful (and very fun) swap meet last month! And anything that wasn’t taken was donated to the local Goodwill.

The Lexington Pointe Garden Club have done an amazing job bringing beauty and fresh herbs and vegetables to our community. We started in May with planting flowers and vegetables in our 8 gardening boxes, and we’d like to give a big thank you to the many tenants who helped us purchase the plants with their generous donations. Our club members have been working every day to water, weed, and care for our gardens, keeping them both beautiful and productive. 🌺🌷🌱

Are you a Lexington Pointe resident interested in fresh vegetables? We keep a sign-up sheet in the mailroom for community members who would like fresh herbs and/or vegetables. Every Monday morning the club members harvest what was requested, so be sure to get your orders in before then! 🌿🫑🥒

Students at the All Seasons Preschool, which is located right on the Lexington Pointe campus, enjoyed an exciting and educational visit from the local fire department before the year ended. Thank you to the generous firefighters for taking the time to speak to the kids. What a fun end-of-the-year experience! 🚒🧯

A few Lexington Pointe community members got together to share some good conversation and laughs over a paper flower and painted mason jar craft. We also hosted a paper airplane event where a small group created and tested different models. Once we found the best ones, we set up a little “paper airplane golf tournament” in our common areas. There’s nothing like making your own fun from scratch!

Cinco de Mayo Party & Other Spring Activities

May 20th, 2021

The staff at Lexington Pointe Senior Living planned and hosted a Cinco de Mayo party for our residents.

Attendees enjoyed a multitude of beverages and snacks, including margaritas, empanadas, churros, and chips and cheese.

One of the many highlights was the salsa-tasting contest. In the running were four different mild-heat salsas purchased from local stores. Sombreros off to the winner: Chi-Chi’s Mild Salsa.

The event was a smashing success, right down to the piñata celebration. Take a look at some of our photos to see just how much fun we had.

The whole gang at Lexington Pointe Senior Living gathered to commemorate and celebrate a Kentucky Derby Happy Hour.

The Derby is all about style, so some of our talented residents participated in a hat-making craft. They designed some elaborate headwear and donned their creations for our event.

Everyone enjoyed good times and great snacks, including some adorable and delicious racehorse cupcakes that chef Josh T. made special for this Happy Hour occasion.

Lexington Pointe Senior Living residents Chuck and Mary F. recently welcomed the spring season by enjoying a beautiful day outside. The warm sunshine and fresh spring air made for a perfect afternoon outdoors.

Chuck, Mary, and all of us in the community are looking forward to more gorgeous days like this. 🌞🌼

St. Patrick’s Day Spirit & Birthday Celebration

April 9th, 2021

Last month, residents of Lexington Pointe’s Memory Care units helped bring the St. Patrick’s Day spirit to our community with a festive shamrock craft! We worked together to string shamrocks together and hang them on the wall, as well as making collages to decorate the windows. We love the opportunity decorate our building together, and what a perfect way to remind us just how lucky we are to have such an amazing community! ☘️💚

More St. Paddy’s Day celebrations at Lexington Pointe! We hosted a St. Patrick’s Day happy hour and, as you can see, there was a lot of holiday spirit, festive attire, and plenty of fun for all. 🍀🍻🎉

Last month, Lexington Pointe staff delivered a special cupcake to Elsie O. and sang “happy birthday” to celebrate her special day. Please join us in wishing her a very happy birthday! 🎉🧁

Super Bowl Party & The History of Cupcakes at Lexington Pointe

February 19th, 2021

On Friday, February 5, we decided to turn our community happy hour into a Super Bowl party here at Lexington Pointe! Our Residence Directory, Emily K., walked around with an inflatable football goal post on her head for a fun “ring toss” game for our residents. There was also a Super Bowl word scramble and football target toss game for everyone to enjoy. And, of course, we served up some Super Bowl classics like chicken wings, chips and salsa, and mini football cookies.

Lexington Pointe resident, Don B., went all out with his Valentine’s Day doorway decorations!

We certainly love a good cupcake here at Lexington Pointe Senior Living! Our amazing Chef, Josh T., and Dietary Aide, Christina N., teamed up for what we’re calling “The History of Cupcakes at Lexington Pointe,” AKA “Christina’s Cupcakes.” We can’t thank them enough for using their talents and passion in the kitchen to provide such a fun (and very, very tasty) experience for our residents. Check out all the deliciously creative treats they’ve been preparing and serving up!

We held a holiday-themed happy hour last month, complete with decorated cups and tasty Christmas drink specials: egg nog and spiked hot chocolate. We hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season!

In celebration of the holidays, a group of Lexington Pointe Senior Living residents handcrafted Christmas stockings for students at the All Seasons Preschool located on our campus. The results were amazing, and we want to give a big THANK YOU to our stocking makers: Marie S., Bonnie E., Doris G., Linda D., Norella U., Marge D., and Faye R.

Here are photos from when we delivered our handmade stockings to the All Seasons Preschool. One of our residents, Rosi M., dressed as Mrs. Claus for the visit. In fact, she created her costume, costumes for her staff helpers, and the bags we used to carry the stockings herself! Thank you so much, Rosi – we’re so lucky to have such a talented and crafty member in our community!

Lexington Pointe Senior Living celebrated the holidays with a socially distanced party last month! Chef Josh and our amazing Dietary Team served a wide variety of delicious hors d’oeuvres for our residents to enjoy throughout the event, and everyone had an incredible time!

One of our residents, Evelyn P., wrote two poems inspired by her first living with us here at Lexington Pointe: “Looking at the Four Lane” and “Knocking at My Door”. We’re so lucky to have such amazing, artistic people in our community. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us, Evelyn!

Even when we’re staying safe and socially distanced, a Friday happy hour is always a good time!
