This Thanksgiving, we are looking back at the year with gratitude and joy. Taking the time to reflect, and share the things and people we are most grateful for is a wonderful way to appreciate all that we have, and to give thanks for one another. Across our communities, coast to coast, residents of Pacifica Senior Living shared with us what they were most thankful for this season.
From family and friends, to good health, good food, and great community, residents have been sharing their sentiments about what makes their lives special.
We love celebrating this time of year, and encourage everyone to take a moment and focus on those special things that make life wonderful. Whether they are small joys or big wins, each is a reminder of the true importance of each day.
Here are some of the words of thanks from residents in our communities.
