Executive Director’s Corner

Lorenzo Dorse, Executive Director | The Goldton at Southaven

Welcome to all our residents, families, and visitors! We have been enjoying the warm weather as many of the residents enjoying sitting out enjoying the breeze in the evening hours!

I want to send huge congratulations to our employee of the month LaKyra Vaughn and resident of the month Paul Fagnant. Two amazing individuals who I’m honored to say are apart of The Goldton Community!!
As you all know, Independence Day is July 4th but even though it’s in the middle of the week doesn’t mean we don’t have activities planned around that day!! We also have our Family Night coming up July 11th where you will get a chance to meet our new Nurse Practitioner Amber Hill, foot care doctor Michael King, and social worker

Local State Park

Our resident was fortunate enough to visit our state local park for a picnic. The park was beautiful with plenty of lakes and fishing spots. Although we did not get a chance to fish the fresh air and breeze was awesome. The residents enjoyed sitting under the pavilion having conversations and reminiscing about their childhood days. The conversations were breathtaking, they talked about how they would swim in the lakes with no lifeguards, just a sibling, neighbors, or a cousin. Hearing them talk about how brave they were back in the days and were not scared of anything and so afraid of a little bug was hilarious. We had a wonderful time at Wall Doxey State Park and cannot wait to visit again.

Making Jewerly

Some of the ladies’ love making their own jewelry, making your own jewelry offers several benefits, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced creator. Here are some reasons why it’s important:
Creative Expression and Stress Relief: Jewelry making is a creative outlet that allows you to express yourself. It can be a relaxing activity that helps you unwind and channel your energy into something positive.
Empowerment and Control: When you make your own jewelry, you’re in charge of the design, materials, and process. It’s empowering to create pieces that reflect your personal style and preferences.
Cost-Effective: Starting out doesn’t have to be expensive. You can begin with basic tools and gradually expand your collection. Plus, making your own jewelry can save you money compared to buying ready-made pieces.
Unique and Personalized: Designing your own jewelry allows you to stand out. You won’t find identical pieces elsewhere, and you can tailor them to match your individuality.
Boosts Self-Esteem: Completing a jewelry project gives a sense of accomplishment. Problem-solving during the creative process also stimulates your brain and builds confidence.
Fun and Relaxation: Whether you’re stringing beads or wire-wrapping gemstones, jewelry making can be enjoyable and therapeutic.
