We celebrated Earth Day, had a wide variety of different outings, and got to soak up the sunshine. 🌞 Our communities kept residents busy with the most amazing activities. With everything from spa days and Spunky McDoogle outings, to gardening and Earth Day festivities, it was certainly a month to remember!

At Truewood by Merrill, New Bern (NC), residents have had not one, but TWO outing to one of their favorite local spots this month: Spunky McDoogle's.
