Thanks to some heartfelt community spirit, residents of Rosewood Village were on the receiving end of some smiles – literally.

On the afternoon of Jan. 19, Just Baskits & Balloon Decor, a local gift shop, delivered enough smiley-faced Balloon Buddies to hand out to each of the Sarnia seniors living community’
s residents.

A Balloon Buddy is a cluster of balloons shaped like people and embossed with smiley faces. Each Balloon Buddy Rosewood Village residents received included a personal note to make the gift extra special.

The Balloon Buddy donation was part of a program Just Baskits & Balloon Decor recently launched to connect with residents of long-term care and seniors living communities in Sarnia.

Rosewood Village team members personally delivered the Balloon Buddies to each resident as a surprise, executive director Jenica Tanguay tells S&R Today.

The Balloon Buddies made the perfect gift for residents, Jenica adds.

“Balloon Buddies (made for) an incredible occasion at Rosewood,” she says. “The Balloon Buddies brought much happiness and smiles throughout the building to all residents and staff.

Jenica says the thoughtfulness of the people at Just Baskits & Balloon Decor, as well as the people in the community who donated to the initiative, is much appreciated by residents and the Rosewood Village team.

“We all had a good laugh and enjoyed delivering the Balloon Buddies to each resident,” Jenica says. “We want to thank Sherri at Just Baskits & Balloon Decor for organizing and putting together such a thoughtful event.

“The pandemic has surely made these past few months hard on our residents, and we couldn’t thank Just Baskits & Balloon Decor enough for helping bring smiles to our lovely residents’ faces.”
