Aarandale Manor was feeling the love on Valentine’s Day as residents made a heart collage filled with messages of love and what brings happiness and meaning to their lives. Many of our residents such as Janet and Olive shared that their greatest love was for their children and grandchildren. While Larry and Amanda confessed their love of chocolate, others such as Marion, Dinah and Barbara proclaimed their passion for music.
