Please be advised that on Monday, December 9th, the Terrace East driveway will be closed from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM due to Fortis Gas road excavation work. There will be ambulance access only. If you need to pick up a loved one from Terrace East on Monday morning we recommend the Terrace West main entrance as an alternative.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you questions please contact the Life Enrichment team.

Hymn Stories – December 2024
The origins of this carol date to medieval times. The Latin verses were discovered in the mid 1800s by an English minister named John Mason Neale, who translated and wove them together to produce “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” Neale is also the author of the carol, “Good King Wenceslas,” and the Palm Sunday hymn, “All Glory, Laud, and Honor.” Find out more about this poet, scholar, and director of a home for the elderly.
