Today, we had the sweetest visit from the Bedford Heights Daycare preschoolers! They came in to do a fun craft with our residents for our Adopt-A-Resident activity, and the joy in the room was everything. Each child made a personalized gift bag and “adopted” a resident for the morning. The kids had an amazing time creating, chatting, and sharing their artwork, and our residents absolutely lit up spending time with them. Moments like this remind us just how special intergenerational connections are. 💕

Thank you to Bedford Heights Daycare for bringing so much love and laughter into our home today!
