Gracewood of Hugo-Local Girl Scouts
/Local Girl Scouts from the area came to Gracewood of Hugo to visit with the residents. The Girl Scouts started by singing some of their favorite Girl Scout songs.

It was a fun night with music by Vinnie Rose. Vinnie had everyone singing and tapping toes. We had snacks and a delicious dessert to top off all the fun. Everyone had so much fun, we can’t wait for Father’s Day in June! Happy spring everyone!
Gracewood of Hugo-Mother's Day/Father's Day

Gracewood of Hugo-Therapy Horse
/Gracewood of Hugo had a visit from a therapy horse Dr. Pepper, in April. The owner of the horse talked about the training of the horse and the many awards the horse has received. Dr. Pepper has even appeared on television. Every resident had the opportunity to pet the horse and even brush the horse if they so desired.
Gracewood of Hugo-Cloggers
/The Yes-U-Can Cloggers performed at Gracewood of Hugo again this spring. The Cloggers change their music each year so the performance is always new. The residents enjoy the variety of toe-tapping music and watching the Cloggers move quickly to the music.
Comforts of Home-Cook Book (Recipes)
/I would like to extend the invitation to you all to submit a recipe for our Comforts of Home cook book. If you have not been made aware of this exciting project I attached the flyer for your viewing! We hope to have them in print by mid-summer and to be able to sell them to raise funds to support Alzheimer’s awareness.
Our residents, families and staff have all been invited to take part in this and I would love for you too as well!
