Huggable Balloon Buddies, 2/12/2021

---

 Adopt a Grandparent gathered 85 huggable balloon buddies. Huggable balloons were distributed to Nursing Home and Assisted Living residents by Activity Director Irma Santiago and Activity Staff Linda Yates on February 12, 2021. 

It was a fun day for our residents, they loved it! Thank you to Adopt a Grandparent!
 

Last September 22, 2020, we  celebrated the National Centenarians Day where we honored our 2 dearest centenarians, Helen Liloia, 102 years old and Lena Morena, 100 years old.  It was attended by their resident friends and staff  who each greeted them with warm wishes, flowers and songs.  We ended the program with a simple snack of cupcakes and juice.  Long Live, Helen and Lena!  God bless you!

Many businesses might be struggling because of the coronavirus outbreak, but some are using this time as an opportunity to give back to their communities and to bring a little light our way.  As a way of sending a special thank you to our Merry Heart health care workers and residents, DeGoor And Sons Growers in Pompton Plains and Bella Fiori Floral and Design in Rockaway, sent us 90 beautiful flower pots which were distributed to both facilities yesterday.  Everyone was so excited to be remembered in hard times like this.

Thank you so much for doing good in this time of uncertainty!  You made us truly smile behind our masks!
