A little more from Becky:

“The best time of year at Meadowlark Hills is Nov. 20 through Dec. 31. My birthday is November 20, and then Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve follow quickly. My co-workers and several residents are especially kind to me in remembering my birthday, going out of their way to show me I'm appreciated. Thanksgiving kicks off a month of decorations, parties and fabulous food. There are more opportunities to visit with current residents and their families as well as meet prospective residents and their loved ones.”

“My favorite room is in the Community Center; it's Kansas Room Pub. The specialty cocktails are always fun to try, but it's the regular customers who entice me to return a few times each month. We tell stories, we tell secrets and we laugh … a lot.”
