The Kitchen, The Best of All

THE KITCHEN, THE BEST OF ALL

A HOME IS MADE OF MANY ROOMS

TO REST, TO SLEEP, TO SHOWER
TO PLAY, AND READ, AND TALK A LOT,
DO HOBBIES BY THE HOUR

BUT THE KITCHEN, AH, THE KITCHEN
IS A ROOM THAT’S MADE OF DREAMS
OF FANTASIES…CREATED BY
A LOVE OF COOKING SCHEMES

TO TOUCH, TO SMELL, TO VISUALIZE
THE WONDERS THAT OCCUR…
AND THEN TO TASTE, AND THEN TO TASTE
RESULTS OF THINGS THAT WERE

AT ONE TIME JUST “INGREDIENTS,”
IN THEIR PLACES ON THE SHELVES
BUT BECOME A WONDROUS MIXTURE
AS THOUGH TRANSFORMED BY ELVES

YES, A HOME IS MADE OF MANY ROOMS
EACH ONE HAS IT’S PLEASURES
BUT THE KITCHEN IS THE BEST OF ALL
FOR FINDING HIDDEN TREASURES

As the poem says, at Ascension Health Homes we believe that love and dedication is not only shown through the care we provide; but also through what happens in the kitchen.

At Ascension Health III we have updated the kitchen to reflect more accurately what it represents, the heart of the home. Beautiful wallpaper, new paint, a new refrigerator, new windows by Michigan Screen & Window and flooring were changed and updated! During the flooring upgrade, the family room was converted to the dining room and pre-made meals were brought to feed everyone. After days of work, everything was complete! Helen, one of the residents commented, “I love the new flooring. It brightens up the place! It’s home to me!” “The wallpaper is beautiful,” commented many others.

The first goal is to always to focus on the care of the residents and to invest in their well-being. Second, we continue to improve the environment in which they live, so they always feel like they are home! Enjoy the gallery pictures. Stay tuned for improvements at the other homes!
