Rim Country Health and Retirement Community invites area residents to come in and adopt one of the facility’s residents through our Have a Heart Project. The project was developed to help residents who do not have family nearby or rarely get visitors. Just come to the activity room at 807 W. Longhorn Road to pick a heart off the Have a Heart Tree. Each heart has the name of a resident with a list of their needs. Most of residents would just like a friend, someone to talk to. To make a difference to someone, Have a Heart and visit Rim Country Health today. For more information, call Lucy Karrys at (928) 474-1120.
