A photo album stands stands propped up with a grandma, mother and daughter laughing in the background.

In the words of a caretaker:

“As someone who works in long term facilities almost on the daily,
I cannot emphasize enough how much a gift like this means. Not only is it a wonderful way for the person to reminisce and think about their legacy, but it also serves as a wonderful way for a care team to get to know about the person and their life before the facility - and that sparks conversation/connection.
10/10 recommend.”
