Fun in residential living
Daily Companions, Inc. has a baker in the making! With the help of his weekend Companion and the Residential Living program, Dennis has gotten bitten by the “baking bug.” Every Sunday he attends a church service, enjoying the fellowship and the singing. Then it is home and time to tie on the apron.
Having already planned the day’s bake, Dennis hurries to tie on his chef’s apron. Next step he informs me is to wash up. With his staff reading out the ingredients, Dennis slowly lines them up in order on the counter. Since he will be using yeast, warm water must be measured out. Dennis is proud of his ability to cook and bake, and it shows in his broadly smiling face and his eagerness to share his pleasure. When questioned about the items he has baked in the past, he names cookies, cakes, hot cross buns, etc.
“I share what I bake with my neighbors and family” he happily adds.
Dennis is very proud of his ability to make something that he can share. Being able to eat the fruits of his hard work is great too! Staff confirms Dennis is comfortable in the kitchen and looks forward to his Sunday afternoon bakes. What a great and productive way to spend an afternoon.
