June 2026 Newsletter

This past month has been filled with memorable moments. We celebrated Mother's Day with Muffins with Mom, enjoying meaningful conversations along with delicious food and drinks.

We also bid farewell to our esteemed Director of Nursing, Jeri, whose positive impact has been truly appreciated by both our staff and residents. We are pleased to welcome our new Director of Nursing Heather Goche, whose leadership we are excited to see further enhance our wonderful facility. We feel truly blessed to have her join our team and look forward to the positive contributions she will bring.

What to anticipate in 2026

Over the last month, Jill, our new Activity Director, has introduced several new activities for the residents of Lakeside. She will continue bringing her experience, creativity, and enthusiasm to future programming in the months ahead.

Jill is adding monthly field trips to the activity calendar, along with more community events and special visitors. Be sure to watch these exciting opportunities as they are announced.

She is also looking for volunteers to assist with upcoming events. If you are interested in helping, please contact Jill at Lakeside.

One of the highlights from this past month was a resident trip to Walmart, and another outing has already been planned. In addition, a local 4-H club will be visiting to showcase their animals, and a dance studio is scheduled to perform for the residents.

There are many exciting activities and events planned for the coming months, and we look forward to all the new experiences they will bring to our Lakeside community. You can call the facility at 712-852-4060 or email her at activities@lakesidelutheranhome.com.
