April is National Occupational Therapy Month! 💙

We’re grateful for the meaningful work our Occupational Therapists do each day to help residents maintain independence and continue doing the things they love. From assisting with daily routines to adapting environments and supporting recovery, OT plays a vital role in enhancing quality of life at every stage.

Meet two of our dedicated team members:
Christine, who has been part of Fairmount for about a year and a half, and Faith, who joined us just five months ago. Together, they bring compassion, skill, and encouragement to those they serve.

Thank you, Christine and Faith, for making a difference in the lives of our residents each and every day!
