Santa and Mrs. Claus visit AHC Lewis County
December 23, 2021
Mable Anne Heath and her mom, Ashley, had a special guest to help visit their friends at the nursing home last week. The residents' special visitor was none other than good ole Santa Claus and his wife, Mrs. Claus!
Mable Anne, her mom, Barbara Hinson and Annette Peery all got the chance to see what it's like being Santa's elves by spreading joy at AHC Lewis County. Residents were excited to see Saint Nick and his wife waving through their windows. Many sprang out of their beds and hurried to their windows to greet the group. Others smiled and waved from their beds.
Santa and Mrs. Claus were quick to win over everyone's hearts, including that of little Mable Anne. Santa and Mrs. Clause, played by Dan and Pat Bonarek, were so loved that Mable Anne wanted to take them home!
When asked why visiting residents was important around the holidays, Ashley Heath responded, "It's not just important around the holidays. I do think that giving them a glimpse of Christmas cheer or seeing the delight in a child's eyes might just spark beloved memories from the past, and maybe, even if just for a moment, they get that warmth of love in their soul."
