PORTLAND, Texas \u2014 A room full of seniors at Pavilion Assisted Living was filled with emotions of feeling seen and gratitude as Q Nails and Spa provided free Christmas manicures to residents.<\/p>\n
The smiles came from nail files, nail polish and Christmas nail art as Q Nails staff transformed the morning into a special holiday celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a reindeer and a group of cranberries on my finger,\u201d said 83-year old Janette Allbright.<\/p>\n
Ruth Hisle, 94, showed off her fresh manicure, waving her hands with excitement. She isn’t usually a fan of self-care and hardly speaks, but this afternoon she got out of her shell.<\/p>\n
All manicures were provided by Q Nails and Spa, emphasizing that giving up sales for seniors is worth every penny and their way of giving back.<\/p>\n
“Them feel wonderful and feel like somebody still care about them, it make the holiday become for meaningful,” said Honey Bee, a staff member at Q Nails.<\/p>\n
Allbright said her favorite part of the holiday season is how loved and seen she feels.<\/p>\n
“We love it, it\u2019s quite a blessing to have the children especially but the young women are second best,” Allbright said.<\/p>\n
Executive Director of Pavilion Assisted Living Turchana Hearring agrees, saying the act of kindness means more than anybody knows and it\u2019s a joy that seniors will not forget.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s just a joy to bring the happiness here because a lot of them don’t have families and we are their family,” Hearring said.<\/p>\n
