Our activities director regularly schedules local musicians to come to Somerset to perform and serenade residents from parking lot, sidewalks, and backyard.
Musicians serenade all parts of building (from outside) so residents can enjoy music in their apartments. There are multiple concerts (outside each part of building) so everyone can enjoy.

Toilet Paper Shortage and Donations
March 24th, 2020
Last week we reached out to the local community to ask for assistance in collecting toilet paper. For all of you that have been to the store lately, imagine getting TP for 130 bottoms plus staff. The struggle is real. Supplies are all back ordered!
At a building with 65 residents plus staff, we go thru 13 to 14 large Costco packs a month times 2 care facilities. That is 28 packs of 48 double rolls. For the past 3 to 4 weeks, we send 3 or 4 staff members out daily to purchase 1 or two packs at a time, depending on the limit. Sometimes there is none to be had.
I asked a friend to put us on a prayer chain, to help us obtain TP. The phone has been ringing off the hook and people have been knocking on the front door to give what they can. We have been blessed by our community. We are grateful and proud of our neighbors.
Thank you for your outpouring of caring and generosity. It has allowed staff members to get back to providing care.
