Putnam Ridge is proud to celebrate National Nursing Home Week’s “Spirit of America,” which begins on May 14th, to recognize the dedication of its skilled nursing and rehabilitation staff, and the patients and residents they care for. Celebrations will kick off early on Friday night with a who-done-it type “Mystery Theater” dinner on Friday, May 12th, 5:30PM, with live entertainment of the Acme Theater Company out of Poughkeepsie, that is open to the public. Tickets can be purchased for $50 by calling Putnam Ridge at 845-278-3636, with proceeds supporting the Putnam County Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Then, Putnam Ridge will be honoring its staff with a proclamation issued by Brewster’s Mayor James J. Schoenig recognizing the contribution of Putnam Ridge to the greater-Brewster community. This year, the American Health Care Association’s national theme is ‘Spirit of America,’ is the perfect way to show support and respect for the special individual in our community and the staff who provide care or support services.

Following that on Monday, also with the Spirit of America theme, Putnam Ridge will have a Western cowboy hoe-down social, complete with hot, homemade chili and cornbread to delight the tastebuds. Then, the week will continue by getting crazy ready for “Crazy Hat” day with staff and residents donning hats from all walks of life and enjoying International coffees and trivia. Wednesday will focus on Patriot’s day with the wearing of red, white and blue, and a staff appreciation luncheon that will knock their socks off.
