Another nursing home last week! We love the elderly residents!!!

What a Week!! 🌸
We had the absolute best time celebrating National Skilled Nursing Care Week here at The Springs of Camden! From a backyard petting zoo with some incredibly sweet barnyard friends to dressing up in our best Western gear, the smiles said it all. We finished up the week with “dirt cups” and loads of laughter. Thanks to everyone who helped make this week a success!

Due to the deadly outbreak of EHV, we will be following vet advice and Pickles will not be making any appearances going forward until directives from the vet say otherwise.
