Get Creative for Arts
& Humanities Month
At one point in your
life, you’ve been
touched by the arts.
Maybe it was the
night you first danced
with your sweetheart
to a song that, in
the moment, seemed
entirely too short.
Maybe it was when you
first saw a painting that
truly moved you, or a play
that transported you to
a different place and time.
Maybe it was when you first
cracked open what is now your
favorite book and felt as if you
knew the characters as well as
your closest friends. Or maybe it
was your first trip to the movie
theater or picture show, when the
lights dimmed and the characters
magically appeared on the screen
before your eyes, larger than life
and awe-inspiring.

October 2016
At our campus, we know that
many of our fondest memories
are tied to the arts in some way.
This is why we encourage our
residents to revisit the works
of art that they remember
from their past, whether it’s by
listening to songs from days
gone by, popping popcorn and
enjoying a classic movie, or even
grabbing a friend and taking
to the dance floor at one of our
events. We are always exploring
new and exciting ways to keep
the arts and the memories that
go along with them alive and
well at our campus.
As firm believers in the benefits
of creative exploration, our
campus Life Enrichment staff
loves coming up with activities
that give our residents a
chance to tap into their inner
artist, musician, poet, and
more. Through our Artisans
programming, residents have
uncovered hidden talents,
rekindled past interests, and
discovered new hobbies to enjoy.
Throughout our campus grounds
and on our Facebook and Twitter
pages, we’re constantly showing
off their latest creations!
If you don’t already follow us on
Facebook and Twitter, now is
the perfect time to start. From
October 17th through the 21st,
we’ll be celebrating German
culture during our Willkommen
to Germany Theme Week, with
a special Themed Dinner on

Happy Birthday!

Executive Director Corner
Greetings
from Triple
Creek
Retirement
Community! I don’t know about
you, but after the hot and humid
summer we had I am ready for
beautiful fall weather. With us
having so many wonderful things
going on at our campus this
month, it’s the perfect time to
stop by and say hello!
I am excited to announce that it’s
Theme Week time again at Triple
Creek Retirement Community!
From October 17th through the
21st, our campus residents and
staff members will be celebrating
German culture during our
Willkommen to Germany Theme
Week! Out of all of the fun events
that take place at our campus, our
Theme Weeks are some of my
favorites. From themed activities,
fun (and often funny) costumes,
and decorations galore, there is
something exciting around every
corner! We’ll be topping off
our Theme Week with a special
Residents Themed Dinner on
October 20th, and our campus
chefs can’t wait to show off more
of their culinary talents.
Of course we couldn’t forget Trick
or Treat. So, dress the kids up,
and yourselves too, and join us
here at Triple Creek on Thursday,
October 27th from 6:00pm7:00pm to go through the main
campus as residents hand out tasty
treats so they won’t get any tricks!
If you can’t stop by, make sure
that you check our campus
Facebook and Twitter pages for
updates and plenty of pictures!
If you don’t already follow us on
Facebook, simply type Triple

into the search bar and ‘Like’

us on Twitter, our handle is

I’d like to close by thanking
everyone who filled out our
Customer Satisfaction Survey.
Your opinions are truly valued!
I’m excited for everything October
has in store for our campus, and I
look forward to another month of
serving our community’s seniors
and their families.
Have a wonderful October!

Smile of the Month
\Mick, volunteer, and Annie, resident, sure bring out the smiles in each other!
Out and About
We enjoyed two fun and educational days out
to the Great Parks of Hamilton County. At Parky’s Farm we enjoyed a hay ride
through the woods, fishing, sampling
their herb gardens, petting and learning
about some animals and a wonderful
picnic lunch!
At Fernbank Park we packed a picnic
and enjoyed watching the boats and
barges pass us on the Ohio River. We
even had the Park Rangers stop by and
chat with us for awhile!
Live a Dream
During one of ViaQuest Hospice’s visit
with our resident, Midge C., she shared her wish to see an Elvis impersonator perform one more time to make her the happiest woman ever! Of
course, ViaQuest came to us to see if we could make this happen for Midge
and of course it was not only Triple Creek’s pleasure to make it happen but
to make it as special as possible!
Through our Live A Dream program we were able to make Midge’s dream
come true! Midge was treated to a day of beauty and a special new outfit
so she would be even more gorgeous for her dream concert! The fabulous
Brian Brenner, who performs his Elvis act in Branson, Missouri, gave an
outstanding show with all the moves! Midge also received a V.I.P. backstage
pass that included a private photo session with The King and a front row
seat during the concert where she was serenaded and given a trademark
Elvis Purple Scarf and a kiss or two on the cheek!
Taste of Town
Last month’s Taste of The Town
was A Cincinnati tradition and favorite, Graters Ice Cream. Just look
at the smiles it brought to Helen,
Rose and Agnes. Thank you ViaQuest Hospice for treating all the
residents and staff !
Family Night
Mark your Calendars for our
Annual Tick or Treat Night here
