Here’s to our live-in caregivers who never clock out from serving, caring, and keeping everyone safe💜

Happy Valentine’s Day from the littlest reminders that round-the-clock, one on one care is not only peck-tacular, but the sweetest kind of love🐥

Chicken therapy crew reporting for duty!! 🐔✨

We brought the full flock today to The Village of Heather Hills in Grand Rapids and we had a blast!

Sophie, Lacey, and Norma Jean handled their meet-and-greets like pros, while three baby chicks made their debut appearance (and may or may not have completely outshined everyone). 🐣

Grateful for the warm welcome and already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for having us 💜

We had the best day visiting the wonderful participants at Care Resources PACE of Lowell on Fulton! ❤️🐔

And in very special news… Charlotte came out of retirement to make a rare appearance! She soaked up every minute of attention and reminded us all why she’s one of our most beloved girls.

Thank you to the Care Resources team for welcoming us so warmly. We loved sharing some feathered joy with you, and we hope to visit again soon! ✨
