SunTree first hosted this event in December and it was such a great success that the center plans to bring it back on a regular basis.
It was so exciting to see caregivers and their care recipient enjoy a memorable and fun experience together,” says Van Nguyen, administrator, SunTree Adult Day. “It was also interesting to see them create a painting together.”
