Martensville Care Home Residents Get Into the Spirit of Christmas

The Martensville Care Home has been busy getting their residents into the Christmas spirit. On Thursday, November 26th, residents had the opportunity to decorate their own gingerbread house.

Two activity coordinators come in seven days a week for two hours a day for light exercises, games and crafts with the residents. “One of the activity coordinators plays guitar and sings for the residents. They love it. We have instruments for them to play along and it is very therapeutic for them,” Charlene Herbers, Manager of the Martensville Care Home explained.

“We try to keep them as busy as we can and keep things normal, especially now with all of the stuff going on in the world and they are unable to see their families. It has been really tough on them,” Herbers added.
On top of creating gingerbread houses, the residents have also been busy making decorations and putting them on the tree. “Our Christmas tree is slowly filling up with all their creations,” Herbers said.

Currently there are ten residents living in the Martensville Care Home, with one room still available. For more information about the Martensville Care Home, contact (639) 441-0125 or email martensvillecarehome@gmail.com.

Shanine Sealey has always had a passion for reading and writing. Growing up with a librarian for a mother, and working in a library as her first job at age 15, that passion continued to grow. After moving to Martensville in 2006 and working at the StarPhoenix for several years, Shanine was given the opportunity to join the team at the Martensville Messenger in 2011. From there, she fell in love with the world of newspapers. In 2014, Shanine and her co-worker Jocelyn Ottenbreit decided to purchase the Martensville Messenger, as they both felt it was an important part of the community and they wanted to continue its legacy within the City. Shanine has had the opportunity to meet so many amazing members of this community because of the Martensville Messenger, which is something that she is extremely grateful for. Her responsibilities include; reporting on local news, weekly production of the newspaper and day to day operations within the business.
