2018-05-15 06:17:45 PM skylarh Wheel chair race sounds awesome!
2018-05-15 06:17:46 PM 12716937 So the staff has restrictions....they can only use their non-dominant hand to steer the wheelchair. The resident does not have any rules they have to follow. It was great!
2018-05-15 06:18:12 PM 12716937 The wheelchair parade sounds fun!!
