Pet parade lifts spirits at Valley Manor
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS – Families and friends gathered outside Valley Manor to lift residents’ spirits with a pet parade.
Dozens of people gathered with furry friends May 18 and walked around the outside of the facility, 141 Hospital Drive. Valley Manor residents sat at the windows and watched from the safety of their rooms. After the parade, guests and their pets received gift bags and treats from Valley Manor staff.
Activities Director Barbie O’Dell and Administrator Doreen Hasenbeck coordinated the event as a unique way to help connect family members during the COVID-19 quarantine.
