COVID-19 Community Update from Beacon Hill Villa, November 26, 2020

Dear Dedicated Friends and Family of BHV,

This week BHV residents and staff have been preparing for the holiday season! Decorations have been hung and lights have been strung throughout the hallways and rooms of Beacon Hill Villa. Residents participated in the joy of decoration, helping the staff with setting up Christmas trees on each floor. A noticeable smile lit up on many of the residents faces as they pitched in to help, and it is apparent now more than ever that we all need a little holiday cheer in these difficult times. Other Christmas and holiday themed activities occurred this week, such as art and crafts, and music sing-alongs.

As the holiday season approaches, BHV would like to thank everyone, family and friend, during this pandemic, and we can’t thank you all enough for your patience and cooperation.

Stay safe everyone!
