Dear Dosberg Manor Residents, Family Members and Responsible Parties,
We hope you are having a great week and are staying warm! Dosberg Manor residents spent their week enjoying piano playing with Ruth, participating in virtual exercise groups, taking virtual tours of the zoo, crafting with Shirley, and playing bingo. As we approach Thanksgiving next week, we took the time reminisce about family traditions, and to reflect on what we are most thankful for...

|
And, much to our pleasant surprise, we received several bouquets of flowers from a resident's family member as a token of appreciation. They brought smiles to everyone's faces! |
