We believe nursing homes should have a reputation for being fun places to visit. In a nursing home, people are provided with a nurse’s care, but nurses aren’t the only caregivers. Besides the obvious medical care, residents also need mental, social and spiritual stimulation to keep their minds healthy — this is where the fun comes in, and where you can make a difference.
