Lorettaβs family was kind enough to donate her piano to our community. Before today, she has never been interested in playing the older piano we had. Today, Loretta not only recognized that this is her piano, but she also decided to pull a songbook out of the bench and began to play some tunes. It was a memorable and heartfelt moment, bringing tears to our eyes and joy to our hearts. ππΌ

One of our most delightful residents, JoAnn, is always willing to lend a helping hand to both staff and fellow residents. She has traveled to many places in her life and worked for RJ Reynolds for many years. JoAnn has so many fun stories, the most exciting one to hear is about the time she got to see Elvis in person!
