Downey Care Center art activity

Books are time honored and long beloved forms of entertainment. There's nothing more comfortable and familiar then grabbing a hot mug of cocoa and curling next to a good book. A-1 Home Care remembers fondly what memories have been had with the illustrated stories of the past, and have created an arts activity suited to seniors with limited mobility.

A-1 Home Care will be hosting a half yearly art series held every other month. This week, we chose to create lovely tasseled bookmarks with the seniors at Downey Care Center.
