Throughout this season we have continued to bring joy to our Guests and caregivers online. We've shared a wide range of activities such as bingo, trivia, viewing parties of concerts and comedy shows, and virtual visits to museums and places around the world. Sing-a-longs are a favorite, and are full of laughter and reminiscing.
