The
Village at Regional West enjoyed a joyful Christmas season, with
carolers from local churches and organizations singing to residents
from door to door, and many other fun activities.
Residents
of the Assisted Living Unit enjoyed the second annual free Christmas
shopping event, which was held in the commons area. Village staff
members donated new and gently used items, which were displayed so
residents could shop in the comfort of The Village. All items were
free of charge so residents took what they wanted to give as gifts.
Students from Community Christian School accompanied the residents
while they shopped and then wrapped the gifts, placed name tags, and
topped each gift with a bow that was hand-made by a Village employee.
Then,
on Christmas Eve, each Assisted Living resident received a special
gift from an anonymous Christmas angel. She delivered handmade
quilts, which she was inspired to make because her grandmother always
enjoyed warming her hands under her special quilt. This “Christmas
angel” not only warmed the residents’ laps, but warmed all of
their hearts with her special gift.
