We have had so many little furry visitors from dogs, cats, and even a mini horse!

We are so incredibly grateful to all who provide our residents with their sweet, loving, and wonderful therapy animals.

It’s lovely to walk into a place full of smiles and laughter!

#thankyou

We sincerely appreciate Dena Dalton, MSW, EOLD for being such a dedicated and hardworking volunteer. We also want to thank them so much for allowing us to share their beautiful photographs of Hopewell.

They have such a good eye—they even captured a couple of cute shots of some little friends that I know many of us may not have noticed. Did you notice where they are hiding?

….

📸 Do you have some #photos or #video of Hopewell? Would you like to share them with the Hopewell #community? You can always tag us! Or send them our way and we will be more than happy to share them on our feed!

#WHATSNEW

Lesley Sacks, our Executive Director, perfectly describes our exciting new project:

“A new project taking place over the course of the next few month—a beautiful heart shaped path (also known as a labyrinth) will be created on the upper portion of the property. This project is being spearheaded by our honorary council member, Heidi Berkman, in collaboration with our team at Hopewell, and many other professional vendors—most of whom are doing their work pro bono. This space will be a unique, quiet place of reflection and will use natural materials to blend in perfectly with the rest of the grounds.

We will share more about the project as it unfolds!”

We will be one of many local places providing a labyrinth for you to walk.

Other locations in and around Portland include:

@thegrottopdx
Wilbur Neighborhood Piazza
@kaiserpermanente Sunnyside Medical Center
Marylhurst Heights Park
