Each September for 14 years, Mount Pleasant Home has hosted a community Backyard Party.  Even though the date was postponed by one day due to torrential rain, this year's party was chock full of  family, friends, and community members joining in the fun.

Personal Care Attendant, Irma Pina, is proud of her Dominican heritage!

    This year's theme was "A Celebration of Caribbean Culture" honoring the diversity of our residents, staff, and neighbors.  Branches Steel Orchestra set the tempo for a real island feel, as an authentic Caribbean cookout was served. Neighbor Craig Meltzer’s homemade carnival games were on hand again as was the popular moonbounce. Both young and old enjoyed cotton candy and popcorn. Beautiful displays of our Caribbean and Central American staff and residents graced the grounds.
