UPDATE FROM PROTEM
TANYA WEATHERBEE : FACILITIES COORDINATOR
MIHAELA CALIN : DIRECTOR OF CARE
Dear family members and friends of ProTem Memory Care, We had a lovely December at our homes, with lots of holiday festivities, baking and fun. We shared holiday treats, enjoyed a pajama day, played bingo and even did some dancing. This month we will be making snow candy, taking part in movie and pajama days, getting in some exercise and enjoying live music. With 2023 behind us, we’d like to wish all our residents and their families a wonderful new year. Thank you for your continued trust as we embark on another year together. Sincerely,
- Tanya & Mihaela

ANDREWS COOKBOOK SUGAR COOKIES
In every family there's that one dish that mom or dad makes better than anyone else in the world. Maybe it's dad's chili recipe, or mom's secret to perfect ginger snap cookies. These dishes and desserts become family legend, favourites at holiday parties, birthdays or family dinners. The recipes are often passed down through generations and become a part of a family's story. We wanted to share those stories. Every month we feature a different recipe submitted by one of our residents. This month we feature a sugar cookie recipe from resident Wanda Ings.

ABOVE & BEYOND DECEMBER WINNER Every month our team and residents recognize one team member for showing exceptional care
Kelly was recognized for going above and beyond.
Our Above and Beyond winner this month is Kelly Tingley. Kelly is a dedicated team member who strives to make every day a memorable one for our residents. Kelly first started working as a caregiver at ProTem in 2006. Prior to joining, she worked in a similar role in private care. Having grown up in a home where both her parents worked in senior care, she was always drawn to the profession. ProTem was her first foray into dementia care. “I like the small home,” she said. “You have more time with the residents. They get to be just like family.” Outside of work, Kelly likes to go on walks and spend time with her grandchildren.
