Throughout the month of September Neosho set up props and a photobooth display as part of the Faith, Fall and Football Theme. Everyone was encouraged to "Show Me Your Selfie" as they walked past. Everyone had their own take on how their selfies should look and showed their creativity. The photobooth was tons of fun for both staff and residents and so we had to share the selfies with everyone.
Saturday was Johnny Appleseed Day and residents at Neosho joined in some fun activities surrounding the day.
Did you know that Orchards in the early 1800s were used for legal purposes to establish land claims along the frontier? Upon his death John Chapman "Johnny Appleseed" owned 1200 acres so he did not randomly toss seeds across the Midwest as folklore would have us believe. Also his apples were not edible apples, they were mostly used to make hard cider which was an accepted and vastly popular drink amongst the pioneers due to the lack of refrigeration. So on this glorious day Neosho remembered Johnny Appleseed with stories of his life and times as they participated in some beautiful apple stamping. The afternoon was spent chowing down on Apple Pie Cups. Just so everyone knows, we really do not need an excuse to eat Apple Pie!
Thank you to the Northeast Viking Football team for their donation of DVD players for the residents at Medicalodges Girard. At a time when our residents are spending a lot of time social distancing this will certainly be appreciated!

It's Native American Day. Neosho paid respect to the Native Americans by creating some beautiful Headdresses and learning a little about the Native American culture. Why a headdress? Who wore them? Who compiles the local tribes? How long was the Trail of Tears and how many crossed? These and more questions were answered as we had a little colorful fun. Since there is no word for Goodbye in Cherokee we will bid you Osiyo Donadaghvi!
Osiyo. I know that word. Your Ggggrandmother named Anjeline O'conell was on the trail of tears but all her relatives died of hunger and disease and worn out so she ran away from the soldiers in Tennessee. She Married a white man named Jonas Hix down there and then later they moved to McDonald County,Mo. They have a stone in the Anderson Cemetery.
Who was there tslking to the people. I know they were Cherokee.
Thank you Clay Center Environmental Services Team and Congratulations to Matthew Woellhof celebrating his 15 year anniversary with Medicalodges. This team shines!
Congratulations!
Today is National Cherries Jubilee Day so we indulged with Cherries Jubilee Champagne Mocktails. The weather is beautiful, Fall is in the air and the Chiefs are 2-0 so we toasted to everything that is seasonally beautiful. Cheers to you from Neosho!
We're enjoying a cup of "get stuff done" here at Neosho. Thank you Avalon Hospice for the wonderful morning coffee!
What could be more fun in the Fall than football? We can't think of anything more in keeping with the new season so Neosho enjoyed a little football action this morning. Everyone tried their luck with a field goal kick. Look Out Butker, there's some little ladies looking to take your spot!
Our theme this month is Faith, Fall and Football so Neosho ushered in the Autumn Equinox with a Pie-Off. Staff and resident's alike thought that this was the perfect way to welcome in the new season. Happy Fall Y'all!
Not only was Sunday game day, it was also National Pepperoni Pizza Day. Pepperonis baked atop a pretzel with mozzarella cheese made a great game day snack and paid homage to this national day...but with a twist...making it a Sunday Funday at Neosho! Winning the game was an added bonus!

Neosho honored the Clean It and Fix It Crew today with a meal. They were served Baked Spaghetti, Garlic Toast and Pizzettes for appetizers and the main course. Ritz and peanut butter sandwiches dipped in chocolate was served for dessert along with virgin Margaritas. They were given new shirts from the Medicalodge's corporate office and a new lightweight backpack. We are so grateful for our Environmental Services and Maintenance Team and appreciate all of their hard work and service they provide to our residents. We are all proud to have each member of these departments as part of Team MLN!
Go Neosho.👍👍
Congratulations!
Well deserved, for keeping our loved ones safe 😊
That's my crew!
