Muhlenberg Job Corps help Diversicare with the Wheelchair Parade

Diversicare, a nursing home in Greenville, Kentucky, celebrated Nursing Home Week with a little flare. One of the events for the week, is the annual Wheel Chair Parade.  This year health trade students from Muhlenberg Job Corps spent their day participating in the event. Staff and residents worked together in taking a wheelchair and making it into a float for the small parade. The float route started behind Diversicare and made its way to Depot Street then onto Main Street before ending up back at the front of Diversicare. The week long celebration consisted of numerous games and activities for the staff and the residents. There was a scavenger hunt, cook off contest, corn hole tournament, and then on Friday the week long celebration will conclude with a talent contest. Monica Gunterman, Muhlenberg Job Corps Health Cluster Manager, said her staff and students have enjoyed being a part of this special week. Monica also stated that she has received praise from the nursing home staff on MJCC students and expressing they would not have made it this week without the help of MJCC students.
