"If You Were a City..." 🏙️🎨 The Book to Brush program sparked imaginations once again! Residents created art inspired by the beautiful picture book "If You Were a City" by Kyo Maclear and Francesca Sanna.

After reading together, everyone reflected on the cities they grew up in and what makes a place feel like home. Then came the fun part—constructing their very own cities out of colorful paper scraps. Some residents lovingly recreated the cities of their childhood, while others dreamed up entirely new places they'd love to live.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Appreciation Van from Suncrest Hospice - Bay Area, CA to AlmaVia of San Francisco! 🚐💛

Our team absolutely loved it — smiles all around! Moments like this mean so much to the people who give their hearts every day to care for our residents.

The Appreciation Van has a special story. It began in 2020 during the pandemic when Suncrest wanted to personally deliver PPE and water to support their partners — including communities like ours — during such a challenging time.
What started as a thoughtful act of kindness has grown into something incredible. Fast forward to today, and they now have 4️⃣ vans still traveling and continuing their mission of appreciation and support! 🌻💛🌻💛

We are deeply grateful for our partnership with Suncrest and for the consistent encouragement they show our team. Thank you for lifting spirits and reminding our staff how valued they truly are!

Crafting the "Voices Through Time" project in our Bridgehaven memory care neighborhood ✂️🌳❤️ Residents created something powerful with their word art project. In honor of Black History Month, each person selected a meaningful quote from influential leaders—such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, whose words continue to inspire generations.

With care and creativity, residents cut, arranged, and pasted their chosen quotations onto colorful paper, transforming their messages into bold visual statements.
