Why Events Matter
It would be easy to say that just because we provide good daily care for our residents that we’ve done enough. But we know that just like the rest of us, our residents look forward to and gain profound joy from experiencing new things. Through events like Creature Features and visits to the Chattanooga Zoo and Tennessee Aquarium, we show our residents, and everyone else, that
life does not have to be limited. Our residents deserve to experience the world and the wonder that it brings and it’s an honor to facilitate that. We have had such a lovely time bringing the world to our residents and our residents to the
world. Through your support and the support of their families, enriching experiences are made possible. We get to see the effects of this on a daily basis and it’s a pleasure to share those positive effects with you.
