Savoy Place Memory Care residents got busy with one of their favorite projects: making pet blankets to gift to The Scratching Post, a cat café and adoption center in Champaign, Illinois. Together they made forty beautiful, soft blankets that will help the center keep the animals warm during these cold Illinois winter days.
Activities like these do more than support a good cause. They help residents maintain their sense of purpose, giving back to their local community in ways that are meaningful, especially for those residents who have loved animals all their lives.
You can watch the full coverage of the project, including an interview with Destiny Umphryes, Life Enrichment Director, on WICS ABC News Channel 20.
