June is always a great month for celebration for our assisted living communities. Watkins
Manor family picnic is June 11th for residents and their families located in the front parking
lot. Tune up those voices as we will be doing Karaoke that evening. The following day, June
12th, is Adith Miller and Roger Metz Manors resident and family picnic, located in the parking
lot. Ron Haugen, one of our residents music favorites, will be entertaining. A full picnic meal
is provided on us. All family is invited. Please RSVP by June 1. Keep your fingers crossed
for beautiful weather! If inclement weather, picnic will be held indoors.
You will see many new faces at AMM/RMM as we welcome several new staff members. Feel
free to say hi and get to know them. We are excited for our new staff to join our team, they
will be a great addition and add value to our residents days.
We look forward to seeing you at the family picnics!

Warm Weather Tips
1. Drink plenty of water. It is important to
watch your fluid intake since older adults have
a diminished thirst signal.
2. Wear light-colored clothing and loose-fitting
clothes made of cotton and use sunscreen.
3. Stay indoors during peak temperatures,
usually between 10 am and 4 pm.
4. Keep your apartment cool using the air
conditioner. Let us know if your apartment is
not cool enough.
5. Some medications can put you at
increased risk for heat illness. Ask the
nurse if you have questions.
Enjoy the warm summer weather ahead!
