WHAT’S ON OUR MIND

The Psychology of Change was originally scheduled in March, but we believe this topic is so important that we’ve taken it virtual so we bring it to you now. It will be offered twice, 2 p.m. November 5, and again at 5:30 p.m. November 10. Register online today.

Fall is in the air and, for many, this time of year conjures up memories of school days. For two of our residents, those memories also include a career as teachers. Bob Bearse and Mary Gauthier reminisce about their days in the classroom as educators.

Congratulations to all of our local winners whose works will be featured in the 2021 Art is Ageless® calendar and on the pull-out postcards and greeting cards.

A resident who previously tested positive for COVID-19 has died at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor, as the community received good news from COVID-19 testing and the Douglas County Health Department. “The entire Lawrence Presbyterian Manor family is mourning today,” said Christie Patrick, executive director. “It is always difficult to lose one of our beloved residents, and our hearts are broken.”

Two essential health care workers have tested positive for COVID-19 in mass testing at the community August 26. The community tested 119 residents, therapists and employees August 26. All other tests were negative. Both employees tested negative for COVID-19 on August 18. One employee, who works part-time, has not worked since. The second employee last worked August 25 and passed the pre-shift employee screening.
