As a result of this program, our entire community will be able to see the important landmarks and symbols that represent the residents of North Star Manor. Evaluation will occur through follow up meetings with the residents, particularly the resident council where the idea of a mural originated. Interviews with the residents regarding their ideas for the mural and then what those landmarks may mean to them personally. North Star College stood on the spot that the present nursing home is built. We have at least one resident who is 100 years old and attended that college. We would like to highlight her "case study" as she reflects on that landmark.
Due to COVI-19 we were unable to carry out our project as planned. Residents were still able to vote on their selection for the final mural project and able to watch the entire process while the artist was in the building.
