🌸 Spring is in full bloom at KANDU! Clients in our Adult Day Services and Memory Care program spent the day creating beautiful floral arrangements — celebrating the season with color, creativity, and joy.
This hands-on activity isn’t just fun — it also helps clients practice fine ...motor skills and express their unique artistic flair. Every arrangement tells a story, and we’re loving the blooms (and smiles) that are blossoming around here!
