The communities at our nine CHSLDs got creative in finding ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day and show some love for our seniors. There were concerts, chocolates and roses, karaoke, student visits and much more! These heartfelt and friendly initiatives not only brought smiles to seniors’ faces, but also to those of staff, family members and volunteers at our facilities. At some facilities, the festivities even went on for several days!
Every picture tells a story. Here are a few from the activities at some of our CHSLDs.
