Cumberland Nursing and Rehabilitation held our first monthly writer’s group in January, with special guest Juanita Garner and her granddaughter Ashley Wells (Ashley is a Speech Pathologist here at the facility). Both staff and residents enjoyed participating. Songwriters who reside at the facility performed by singing songs they have written, while playing the piano. Others read poems and told stories. Juanita has years of experience with writer’s groups, and has had some of her work published in the past. The purpose of our group is to promote literacy and creative writing, which is healthy for the soul.
