IT’S OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU … word from your leadership teamThough we are having to say goodbye to our beloved ED, De’Andre, we have some amazing new faces to get to know. Please welcome Dee, our new Memory Care Director and Taylor, the new Director of Sales. You may have already been introduced, but they would like to share a little bit more about themselves and their background.

Taylor is a Texas girl from birth. She was originally from Frisco, when she moved to College Station to attend college. After graduating from Texas A&M, she worked for 4 years in senior living marketing. Taylor is a very active person and has even offered to teach an exercise class for us! She also enjoys being outside, spending time with family, crafting, and playing the guitar.

THIS MONTH’S silver starSAY HELLO TO LOUISE!

Louise is one of the new additions to our Pavilion family, moving all the way from Omaha, Neb.! She was married to her husband, Jerry, for 54 years and has a daughter and granddaughter who live in town.

Louise graduated from Morningside College and started her profession as a kindergarten teacher. She loved every bit of the 36 years she spent teaching. Along with teaching, Louise enjoys painting with watercolors, listening to calm music like Josh Groban, watching Hallmark movies and enjoying some dark chocolate. She has even dabbled in ballroom dancing. If you see Louise, make sure to stop and introduce yourself !

WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO

a fall harvestThe air is getting cooler, the leaves are changing color and it’s finally fall! Get ready for harvest themed activities all throughout October. You can look forward to pumpkin tosses, fall leaf crafts, hardy fall treats and more!

‘PUMPKIN’ TO talk aboutQ: What do you call a pretty pumpkin?

A: Gourd-geous!

DID YOU KNOW?

This year, October’s night skies will light up with two full moons. The first day of the month brings the full harvest moon, and on the 31st, the full hunter’s moon will rise. The second of two full moons in one month is called a blue moon.

MINI PUMPKIN projectTurn a mini pumpkin into a flower vase: Slice the top off the pumpkin and scoop out the pulp. Cut off the bottom section of a plastic water bottle, then place it inside the pumpkin. Fill with water and several short-stemmed fall blooms or succulents.

RECAP: HOW WE STAYED CONNECTED THIS MONTH

celebrating grandparents dayTo celebrate our amazing residents who are grandparents or even great-grandparents, we gave goodies bags to everyone filled with homemade cookies and handwritten notes made by a children’s group, Kindness For Elderly. To end the day on a sweet note, we had warm and toasty s’mores, because we need s’more grandparents like them!

THIS MONTH’S heart heroHOSPITALITY, EXCELLENCE, APPRECIATION, RESPECT, TEAMWORK

To show our thanks for all her hard work, VERONICA has been chosen for October’s HEART Hero! We all know Veronica from her many years, nine to be exact, of great work in the kitchen.

Veronica is originally from Accra, Ghana, where she met her husband of 15 years, Emanuel. They had two beautiful daughters together; the eldest one is currently attending Texas State. Veronica and her family have been in Texas since 2011. She enjoys traveling to different Texas cities with her friends. Veronica loves kids, so she enjoys planning and hosting her friends’ baby showers for them. Other hobbies of hers are doing hair, shopping, going to church and cooking traditional dishes from Ghana like fufuo, a dough-like ball made from plantains that pairs well with okra-based soups.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Veronica!

IT’S OUR PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU … word from your leadership team (Continued)

Hello, my name is Dee Blaylock. I am a true Austinite, born and raised here. I have two beautiful girls, 16 and 10, with two bonus children, 14 and 18. I currently live in Leander, Texas. My hobbies are reading, preferably on a beach somewhere, traveling, anything to do with water, such as water-skiing and having fun with my children.

I have been in the senior industry for 20+ years. I have been everything from a Caregiver to a Community Director. I became specialized in dementia care in 2016. I have a BA from the University of Texas and a MS in Dementia and Aging Studies from Texas State. I am also a Certified Geriatric Care Manager and a Positive Approach to Care Consultant under Teepa Snow’s Program. I have a true calling and passion for what I do! I am thrilled to be part of the Senior Lifestyle Memory Care team here at The Pavilion!

Please welcome these amazing ladies to The Pavilion! Dee, Memory Care Director
