LONG TERM CARE

“Going the distance to make a difference” is the motto at Long Term Care at the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital. And they certainly DO go the distance. Last Thursday was their Annual Bake Sale and Halloween party. Proceeds from this fundraiser are used all year for Bingo prizes, entertainment, crafts and many other activity projects. Every weekday and some weekends, you can find Kathy Hill or Nancy Huddleson doing something with or for the residents. Earlier in the week the residents had fun participating in making chocolate peanut clusters and on another day they made party mix. Baked goods are also donated by the workers and many others associated in any way with LTC or the other residential apartments at Independent and Assisted Living. While I was there I was able to gather recipes for some of the delicious snacks that were available.
