The Tillers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sponsored their
annual Trick-or-Treating event on Halloween and once again had an amazing turn
out from the families in our community.
The Tillers has been hosting this safe Halloween for ten years and the
event has grown each year with almost 600 people in attendance.
There are typically about 30 residents that participate and
hand out over 20,000 pieces of candy and small toys to the children that
attend. According to Julie Dean, Director of Activity Therapy, “This is an
event we love to do because it is a great service opportunity for our local
families to brighten the day of our residents.
It does my heart good to see our residents who are normally in so much
pain with a smile on their face when they see the children in their
costumes. Plus, it is a safe environment
for their children to experience trick-or- treating and go home with a bag of
goodies as well!”
Special
thanks to ALC Home Health, Bickford Senior Living, Harbor Light Hospice, Orbit
Medical, and Newsome Home Health for sponsoring our event and donating candy to
this event.
