Every week, a local florist donates the leftover flowers they have so our residents can arrange them and we can all admire their work. Charlotte, the beautiful woman in the center of this photo, is someone who loves to laugh and to be around people. She’s such a special person. We’ve shared a lot of laughs and happy moments arranging flowers together. Her bouquets are always great.

It brings a lot of joy to my life, this job. When I see smiles on the faces of our residents or laugh with them, it makes the work day so meaningful.
