NURSING AND REHABILITATION May/June 2014

Editors Holly Shurak Activities Director Cathie Thompson Admissions/Marketing Director

May is going to be such a fun filled month here at

Hickory House. We will kick off the month by honoring our beloved

volunteers with a luncheon on May 3rd.

We appreciate all they do.

National Nurse’s Day is May 6th. Our nurses are top notch. They have

hearts of gold and care so much!

During National Nursing Home Week (May 11th – 17th) we are going

to take a little walk on the wild side. Philadelphia Zoo will be visiting us and teaching us all about the Radical Rainforest. We will get to learn about all of the layers of the rainforest and have an animal from each layer visit us!

Our first picnic of the season

is on May 22nd! Join us for some delicious picnic fare. A f t e r w a r d s we will be playing some fun games in the courtyard.

The fun won’t stop as we

waltz into June. On the 5th we will be entertained by Vivian & Don and their beautiful ballroom dancing.

Our second picnic takes place on June 26th. Please join us as we

celebrate Independence Day! There will be great food and DJ Neil will be spinning some tunes as we will dance the afternoon away.

Mary Magner’s Message

We have a number of events coming up for National Nursing Home Week May 11th thru the 17th. We invite you and your family to celebrate National Nursing Week with us! This special week of dedication starts on Mother’s Day, May 11th. This year’s theme is: Living the Aloha Spirit ... of kindness, unity, truthfulness, humility, and patience.

Prep Time: 15 minuteTotal Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 2 cups graham crumbs • 1 teaspoon sugar • 2 tablespoons butter, melted • For the Cheesecake Mixture: • 1 cup heavy cream • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar • 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened, and

whipped smooth • 1 individual sized package (4.5 g) of Crystal Light Pink

Lemonade Mix • Optional: pink food coloring, not necessary at all,

personal choice

For the Optional Garnish:

• Sprinkles • Whipped cream • Crushed cookies• Make Raspberry-Coconut Chocolate Cupcakes

InstructionsFor the Crust: 1. Pour graham crumbs into a bowl, add sugar and mix

well. 2. Melt the butter in microwave or on stove top. Pour over

graham crumbs. Mix with a fork until well combined. 3. Divide evenly amongst serving dishes and leave loose,

no need to pack it down since you are not cooking it. 4. For the Cheesecake Mixture: 5. In a stand mixtures combine the heavy cream,

confectioners’ sugar, and granulated sugar. Start mixer on low with the whisk attachment. Once it starts to thicken slightly you can increase speed until it’s on high. Whisk on high till the mixture is fluffy.

6. In a separate bowl whip the softened cream cheese with a mixer until it’s smooth and there are no chunky pieces, add the lemonade mix slowly and mix until combined.

7. Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream mixture and whisk on medium speed until it’s smooth and combined.

8. Transfer to a piping bag if desired, or spoon into serving dishes.

9. Place in fridge for at least an hour.

For the Optional Garnish: 1. You can add sprinkles, whipped cream, crumbled graham

crackers or anything else over top of these. We did ours plain this time around and just did the cheesecake mixture with some sprinkles.

2. Serve with a big old puckery smile!

Pink Lemonade No Bake CheesecakesSuper easy to make and absolutely scrumptious to devour.
