Halloween Bingo




This afternoon we played Halloween Bingo. We had to spell out the word WITCH instead of Bingo to win. We had fun trying to remember to call out WITCH instead of BINGO!

Visit to the Butterfly Conservatory




The residents at hampshire enjoyed a visit to the Joseph Popp Butterfly Conservatory. They walked among hundreds of live, free flying butterflies and over twenty species of tropical birds from around the world in the 3,00 sq.ft. indoor conservatory herbarium. They also spotted some free-ranging tortoises, chamelions, frogs, and lizards hiding among the exotic plants. What a fun experience!

Decorating Pumpkins


With members of the St. Mary’s youth group, residents here at Hampshire House decorated pumpkins on Saturday to get ready for Halloween. It was a great bonding experience for the residents and the members of the youth group and both enjoyed it immensely.

fondue party

Hampshire House had a great time last week. We enjoyed a program about Switzerland. We sure learned a lot of things about this country that we did not know. Then we enjoyed their favorite food - chocolate fondue. We tried bananas, strawberries, angel food cake and marshmellows dipped in the chocolate. They were all so good we could not decide which was better.

Fun with Crafts

One of our more popular activities here at Hampshire House is doing crafts. Residents get to enjoy a hands-on project that they can keep when they are done. They use them to decorate their rooms/doors. Many of the crafts residents make are also used to decorate the facility for seasonal occasions.

About Us

We are a state-of-the-art community overlooking the beautiful, rolling mountains and lush green valleys of upstate New York. Our comfortable atmosphere is coupled with excellent care provided by dedicated, compassionate staff. We promote independence and enhance the quality of life with a variety of activities. We plan our activities so that they meet the spiritual, social, physical and emotional needs of our residents.

We have been busy this month taking fall foliage trips to enjoy the colorful leaves in the hills that surround us. We also have some fun programs such as a fondue party coming soon. Many of our programs at the end of the month will be centered around Halloween. We also have a resident turning 100 on, would you believe, Halloween. So we are in the process of planning a really special birthday party.
