SummerHouse Park Provence Bingo
Right at Home Slidell's own Sharon Welch loves pitching in with bingo and other activities, and being part of the Park Provence community. Once a month she goes to Park Provence to visit and help with activities for the seniors. Prize Bingo was the event of the day, and Sharon bought different household items like hand soap, dish soap, Kleenex & candy for prizes. When someone won a game, Sharon invited them come pick an item and they loved it. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their prizes!
Grand Easter Eggstravaganza!
CenterWell's Grand Easter Eggstravaganza was held in Possum Hollow Park. The event attracted grandparents who brought their grandkids to the park to see the Easter Bunny. Along with food, face painting, candy, and balloon animals, a great time was had by everyone. Right at Home Slidell owner Harry Spring along with Sharon Welch attended to help support and educate the community.
In the spirit of camaraderie, partnership, and common community support, Right at Home owner Harry Spring along with Sharon Welch delivered Easter gift baskets to community partners in home health, pharmacy and wellness, senior living communities, doctor offices, and more.
