Emerald Place Memory Care residents support Texas flood victims

Emerald Place Memory Care residents in Glenview, Illinois did their part in supporting those affected by the devastating flash floods in Texas. They carefully crafted bright, meaningful friendship bracelets—each one strung with words like “hope,” “faith,” and “courage”—as heartfelt symbols of comfort and solidarity.

“Our residents really got creative with the messages and charms they added to each bracelet,” said Jennifer Boonstra, Senior Life Engagement Director at Anthem Memory Care. “Some included Bible verses, the names of their communities, and heartfelt words like ‘love’ and ‘faith.’ It was a meaningful way for them to show they care — even from miles away.”

The event was covered in the Chicago Patch. You can read the full story here.
