Carol of the Bells

What a delight it was today when our very own bell choir hit the road for their debut at a local assisting living. Dressed in reds and topped with plush Santa hats, they didn’t miss a beat. One resident staff commented: THIS is Christmas! A feel-good moment for everyone involved!

Pet Therapy at Community Village

Talk about drawing a crowd! That’s exactly what our furry friend Beethoven does whenever he and his owner, Krys Nolan-Himm of First State Home Health & Hospice, stop for a pet therapy visit! If they can manage, residents find themselves kneeling on the floor to get as close as possible to those sweet kisses. Others gently offer a tiny treat after Beethoven does a trick or two. And some residents fondly remember the closeness they enjoyed with a pet from their past. It was truly a happy and therapeutic experience today! Thank you, Krys, for the wonderful service you provide for us.
