On January 7th, dozens of bouquets of fresh flowers were delivered to Silverado’s Hospice office in Orange County. They were donated by Christine Saunders, CEO of The Spiral Stem Floral Designs. The flowers, worth thousands of dollars, came from the Rose Bowl Gala event, a pre-celebration to the BCS bowl. Through Silverado’s Petals for Patients program the flowers were distributed to all of its Orange County hospice patents.
Petals for Patients is a program that is provided through Silverado’s Volunteer Department where donations of fresh flowers are arranged into beautiful bouquets and delivered to hospice patient’s homes on a minimum monthly basis. For those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia small comforts can make a big difference. Fresh cut flowers generate a soothing odor and visual comfort as well as brightening a room, lightening a heavy atmosphere and uplifting spirits. Silverado Senior Living’s operating philosophy is to bring LIFE-Love, Innovation, Family and Engagement to all of its patients, clients and residents. The generous donation was a wonderful surprise to the New Year for Silverado’s Orange County hospice patients.
