We had a very special (and very furry!) visitor brighten our day this week! 🐶 Our residents enjoyed spending time with an adorable puppy who made rounds sharing snuggles, tail wags, and plenty of smiles.

From gentle pets to lots of laughter, it’s amazing how much joy a little puppy can bring. Animal visits like this provide comfort, spark memories, and create meaningful moments for everyone involved.

Thank you to our four-legged friend and their handler for making our day extra special! We can’t wait for the next visit.

We had such a fun day with cranberries! We made delicious, sweetened popping cranberries and strung cranberries and popcorn together to create a lovely garland for our Christmas tree. It was a delightful way to get into the holiday spirit!
