Downey Care Center for an Arts & Crafts Day trip

Yesterday was a lovely bright and sunny day here in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area. Perfect conditions for members of the A-1 Home care family to trek out to Downey Care Center to host an afternoon of fun, laughter and friendship with our first of a series of art classes held every other month. 

First, we arrived at the lovely facilities and took some time to settle in. We met with the Activities Director Danielle, who introduced us to some of the clients there, such as Donald. Here is Donald pictured with Jackie. 

Then, we got to work. To our surprise, so many clients were ready to join us for our afternoon! Downey Care Center is a rehabilitation hospital for elders and adults who are receiving care following conditions or recovering from surgery. We understood that they were excited to get our of the "hospital" mindset and get to work on their artistic sides.
