Our Beloved Admission Director at Regency Grande in Dover NJ, Carla Holton, just shared this story with me!
Hi Judah.
"Just wanted to share a cute story about our cute little teddy bears. I attended a health fair at one of our adult community’s , Fox Hills in Rockaway , N.J. on June 26th. As you can see in the photo’s I took along several of our teddy bears. The community there love them for their grandchildren , self etc. One gentlemen happen to come by and took a teddy bear. I said oh is that for your grandchild. He and his wife said no and explained that he had just had surgery with a defibrillator inserted and that he was going to use this teddy bear under his seat belt to protect it from getting damaged in case of and accident. HE said it was the perfect size. It actually looks like a hug. So not only is our bear there to comfort it is there to protect. I though that was such a great idea."
