We’ve been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving with these beautiful turkey crafts, and our residents’ creativity has truly shined! Each turkey is full of bright colors and personality, a wonderful reminder of the artists we have right here in our community.

As we crafted together, we also took time to reflect on how much we have to be thankful for... the laughter, the friendships, and the joy we share every day. ❤️🦃
