We had a wonderful time "at the races". Gentiva Hospice brought the races to us. We rolled the dice, took a chance on our horse and "Pinky" came out on top. Social Wellness is an important part of our days. We love to get together with others and make memories.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that we will not be handing out Halloween candy tonight. A respiratory outbreak is currently affecting our community. We apologize for the inconvenience and are saddened to miss the opportunity to interact with the children. Thank you for understanding.
