The route change is to ensure that the new residents can enjoy the floats. It is exciting for everyone as it marks the first Christmas season for Wagner with the Good Sam residents back home.

That feeling is understandable with the widespread closures of nursing homes across the state and the uncertainties that have surrounded the future of long-term care in Wagner over the past three years.
