LIFESTYLES

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities can be
thought of as places with little activity.
That was not the case last Thursday during White
Oak Manor of Kings Mountain's sock hop, which fea-
tured oldies music from Crimson Rose.
“We wanted to do a ‘50's day and we wanted to do a
sock hop,” White Oak Activities Director Kathy Payne
said.
So Payne asked White Oak employee Debbie Terry if
Crimson Rose, of which she is a part, would perform.
Residents and community members danced during
the band's performance.
People of all ages were seen dancing as the band
played.
“Our staff really loves our residents,” Payne said.
“And they'd just do about anything in order to make
them happy, to have a good time.”
Although not a staff member, one person that was
trying to make others happy was Betty Williams.
Williams’ mother is a resident at White Oak and she
was there to visit her and dance with other residents.
“1 enjoy it,” Williams said about the time she spends
with the residents. “When I'm here with these patients,
I feel at home. I feel like I belong here. This is where
God wants me.”
