Keeping Spirits Up

One way Residents are keeping their spirits up by staying connected with family and friends.

Please take some time to enjoy these precious moments.

 Bill was all smiles taking to his family.

  Gene was happy to connect with his granddaughter and great grandson.

 Shirley loves connecting with her family.

 

Bill's grandson sang him a song.

 Sue is so happy to talk with Carol weekly.

 Caroline loves to talk about her family with Carol.

Helen loves to discuss books and poetry with Carol.

Our Memory Care is staying connected with Families too. 

 We love how Bob interacts with daughter.

Thank you to all of the families and friends taking advantage of the video chats and keeping their loved ones connected.

Letters 4 Hope

People from around the world filled out an online form through Health for the World to send a message of hope to our Residents sheltering in place. 

We hope everyone will take the time to send their message to others who are sheltering in place at this time.

Please enjoy some of the picture of our Residents faces when they receive them.

 Bessie had a few words to share
