We had such a special and heartwarming craft day in our Assisted Living this week! 🌸☕

Our residents were joined by some wonderful guest visitors, Joan Hough (our CEO’s mom) and his Aunt Margie, who brought along their beautiful button collections and helped guide everyone in creating charming flower arrangements in teacups.

There were smiles, laughter, and plenty of creativity to go around. It was clear our residents truly enjoyed the experience and the chance to connect, create, and share in such a meaningful activity.

Thank you to Joan and Margie for making the day so memorable! 💐
