February Is About Having A Heart

February is the time for showing appreciation for the relationships in our lives, and that includes our Elderly and Vulnerable Adults. It is a perfect time to show our elderly friends and family that we care. It is also a good time to say Thank You to the caregivers helping our loved ones.
