August Corn Cob Feed Party
August 26th, 2019Somerset had a corn cob shucking day and a corn cob feed party in July, and another recently in August. Somerset residents enjoy this popular summer activity and party two or three times each summer. At Somerset we make senior living fun and delicious!
Resident volunteers are shucking corn for their August corn cob feed party. Shucking is fun for residents who like to help. Resident volunteers shuck as much as they want to, and the kitchen staff shucks the rest. It’s a fun activity and the corn tastes best when you helped! Resident volunteer’s participation in shucking is optional. Many enjoy it!
Somerset resident volunteers and kitchen staff are shucking corn for our August corn cob feed party. They have to shuck a lot of corn for the big event, but it’s a labor of love. They had a great time and the corn tastes best when you helped!
These residents are enjoying their corn feed in our dining room. Come join the fun and enjoy delicious fresh corn on the cob at our corn feed summer parties!
Fresh corn on the cob is delicious. Yummy! Some residents like to enjoy their corn indoors in our dining room, some on our large back patio, and some on our large covered front entry way and patio.

Comfort Kids Like to Visit Somerset
July 21st, 2019Comfort kids are kids who come to Somerset to visit with residents for the mutual enjoyment of kids and seniors.
In the candid photo above, they’re dancing to Hawaiian music.
They enjoy visiting Somerset, especially during parties for all ages. Residents enjoy socializing with the kids. This is good for seniors enjoyment and morale, and the kids have a good time too! Residents’ grand-kids also have a good time visiting grandparents, especially at our parties for all ages events.
Here some comfort kids are taking a break from visiting. They’re playing soccer in Somerset’s backyard. Residents get a kick out of them. In the candid photo above, their soccer game turned into a wrestling match. They clearly don’t understand the rules of soccer!
These kids love to visit Somerset! It’s a good time for them because they like free drinks and visiting with residents. The residents like visiting with kids. These kids have a standing invitation to visit. Sometimes a staff member picks them up from their home and brings them over for a visit. In the photo above, the kids are taking a break and resting while petting a resident’s dog.
