LAVERNA VILLAGE OF ST.JOSEPH PLUS

“There were lots of smiles and all the residents still talk about it every day,” said a member of the Hospice Partners team who visits the facility frequently. The chef served egg rolls along with other goodies for prom-goers.Įven the local news station heard about the event and showed up to interview residents for a “Live at 5” piece on the evening news. To top it off, Laverna Village found a band from Burlington Junction to play at the event. The new chef at the facility crafted a special menu for the night that included fan favorites like egg rolls, corn nuggets and meatballs. The Hospice Partners team helped with hair and make-up for the residents before they donned their new formal wear. Blessed Dress KC donated over 60 dresses to the residents so they would be swathed in satin and sparkles and ready for a dance partner. One of the Hospice Consultants from Hospice Partners helped the nursing home get volunteers to help with prep and even hooked up with a local charity to get formal dresses. Laverna Village knew they wanted to host a special event for their residents but they weren’t sure they would be able to pull it off in less than three weeks.

Staff members weren’t just onlookers either, they all dressed in their own prom dresses and some even took a resident as their date and posed for the classic prom pic. Many staff members stayed late or came in on their day off just to be a part of the fun.
