Valentine's at Merryvelle Assisted Living

On January 29th we visited Merryvelle Assited Living to pass out early Valentine's cards.

We try to visit Merryvelle once a month to pass out small crafts or trinkets to the residents there! Below, Tradarius leaves a Valentine's card on the door of one of the residents. Tradarius takes great pride in this small act of kindness!

Izaiah, Lexi, and Ms. Stowe pass out Valentine's cards to other residents!

Eric is just as content sitting in the comfortable chairs that are located in the sitting areas of each pod. I think he has tested EVERY couch/ chair in the building! :-)

After passing out Valentine's cards to all of the residents, we took time to visit with Granddaddy (Ms. Malcom's grandfather) and his friend, Ms. Nell. They were very happy to see us!

Lexi took out time to take Granddaddy for a "stroll". He loves spending time with all of our students and would let them push him around for hours!

Our other friends at Merryvelle, Grandpa Joe and Ms. Poole, also love our monthly visits! Grandpa Joe loves for us to come into his room and listen to music on his computer. We sing along. Ms. Poole is always the first to see us enter the front door. She hugs every single student as if they were her own grandchildren!

Our trips to Merryvelle are great experiences for everyone involved. It is a great way for our students to give back to the community and their visits are greatly appreciated by the residents there!
