While visiting our sister Mary, at Highland Park in Chelsea, we were truly amazed by the stunning Christmas and Hanukkah decorations throughout the facility. Stepping off the elevator onto the 2nd floor feels like entering a Disney-inspired holiday display. Barbara, the Activities Director, is exceptionally talented and has a remarkable eye for creating breathtaking scenes. From the festive window displays to the beautifully adorned, grand Christmas trees, every detail is thoughtfully designed and impeccably executed. It is difficult to imagine finding a more impressive holiday presentation anywhere-they could easily charge admission. Beyond her incredible creativity, Barbara is also an exceptionally kind, warm and pleasant person. Her genuine care and positive spirit are felt by everyone she encounters. You would never believe you were in a nursing and rehab facility; the atmosphere is simply spectacular. Thank you, Barbara, for bringing so much joy, beauty and holiday spirit to the residents, their families, the staff and all who visit. Joe and Patty Marino
