What Brings You Joy? - Laurelwood Community Living Center
“My name is Joy—and yes, I bring myself to work almost every day! 😊
At Laurelwood, I’ve witnessed something truly special. One of our residents recently faced heartbreaking losses—two close friends and his mother. Just when he needed it most, a new roommate moved in… and guess what? They share the same birthday!
From day one, these two have been inseparable, laughing and getting into harmless mischief. The other day, I looked up from the nurses’ station and nearly fell out of my chair—they were dressed head-to-toe in neon outfits with glowing necklaces and fun headbands!
They bring each other joy through companionship, and they bring ME joy by reminding me of the power of friendship and laughter. These moments make my heart so happy.”
