Congratulations to our incredible CNAs who have been recognized in this year's ANGELS program! Their sacred work in caring for residents is unmatched. The program was first started by resident Betty Strickland to recognize the exceptional care CNAs offered her husband. Recipients receive a rose, angel pin, and bonus award. This year, Betty's daughter, Cinny, and close friend and Arbor Acres resident Betty Sutton, participated in what has become an annual celebration.

Resident Becky Wyatt gave her artist talk today, She Found Her Truth, as an introduction to her work that hangs in the Galleria for the next two months. Her family flew in from around the country to share this special moment! Becky was inspired to take up watercolor painting by her grandmother, a self-taught artist, but Becky didn't start painting until the age of 50. Such a natural and prolific talent! Congratulations, Becky!
