The Salem Clubhouse is now largely complete, open, and ready to become a lively gathering place for our residents. Although a few unexpected construction and inspection issues delayed the grand opening by about a month, the wait is over—and plans for resident activities are underway.

Residents from Wester Home, Palm Place Home and Salem South Home recently stopped by to try out the new space. They played video games, basketball, and pickleball while Dodgers baseball played in the background on the new widescreen projector. Their visit gave us an exciting glimpse of the fellowship, recreation, and fun the Clubhouse will make possible every day.

Friends of Salem are helping us think creatively about how to make the most of the Clubhouse—first for our residents and, in time, for the broader intellectual and developmental disabilities community.

We are excited to see this new space become a daily blessing to Salem residents and the surrounding community. There is still room to dream. The kitchen is fully functional and ready for use, and we hope eventually to enhance it so residents can enjoy an even wider range of activities. We will continue exploring other minor improvements as we discover how the Clubhouse can best serve our community.

If you are in the area, please stop by. We would be delighted to give you a tour—but don’t be surprised if you find a clubhouse full of residents having a whole lot of fun!  

Harvest Dance, Rams Football party and game night are all scheduled on the calendar. Make sure to follow us on Instagram @salemchristianhomes to see all the FUN being had.
