Sunshine Villa residents take in the sun

With summer here, Sunshine Villa residents have been enjoying the outdoors, according to Julie Ishida, activity coordinator at the Villa.

“With summer here, going outdoors has been a boost to our residents,” she said. “Walking and enjoying the fresh air are big pluses, and the residents who garden are enjoying their plants more than ever. Those who do not garden, enjoy seeing the flowers in bloom, and veggies and strawberries grow.”

Ishida explained that the COVID-19 pandemic has been tough on the Villa residents.

“Keeping calm and carrying on through it has been no easy thing, yet the residents and staff carry on with the challenges that protecting them from the virus brings,” she noted. . . . contd.
