The scene depicts a light, vivid view of the bay, including a steamboat, old cars, and a hotel. The mural looked just like something out of the 1950s.
“I drew up the plan after meeting and observing some of the residents there on the wing,” Gilbert said. “Those men and women spent their better years in this time period. I tried to depict the highlights of the time on their wall.”
Nursing director Tami Philyaw said that the mural was just what the doctors ordered.
“We picked the ’50s because it’s a fun time,” Philyaw said. “When we play ’50s music now, you’ll see (residents) bee-bopping in their wheelchairs.”
Nursing home resident William Haraway enjoys looking at the mural.“It makes me think way back,” he said. “I think the old cars she put on there, she done a real good job with them. She put a lot of hard work in it. I think she did it just because she loves to do things like that.”
