After a delicious Thanksgiving lunch, some AlmaVia of San Francisco residents settled in for a little creative relaxation—coloring festive holiday pictures while letting all that good food digest! 🖍️🦃🥧💕

As they worked on their individual art pieces, everyone took turns sharing their wishes and gratitude for the season. Peggy summed it up perfectly: "I wish everyone good health and that everyone enjoyed all the food we had today."

Activities like coloring help with focus, encourage relaxation, and provide a gentle creative outlet that's both calming and satisfying. These shared moments remind us that the simplest activities often bring the greatest rewards—especially when done together.

A very special visitor at AlmaVia of San Francisco. 👶💕

Sometimes the best moments are the ones you don't see coming. Gardens memory care neighborhood resident Kathleen N. got a wonderful surprise when her granddaughter, Fiona, stopped by. At just six months old, little Fiona had the whole community wrapped around her tiny finger. As Kathleen put it, "She's so adorable!"

Time spent with young children can boost mood, spark joy, and create a sense of purpose and connection that enriches daily life. For residents, visits from little ones bring energy, laughter, and plenty of opportunities to share stories and wisdom with the next generation. And let's be honest—baby smiles are pretty much the best medicine there is!
