For those who didn't make it out to this year's International Celebration of Seniors at Lincoln's Christian Village, mark your calendars for next year. The event is presented the same weekend in May every year.

The tour of countries includes visiting the common area at the nursing home facility and a walk-through in both the lower and upper levels of the congregate building.

Both facilities are quite lovely, with cozy sitting areas and large common spaces interwoven to offer comfortable surroundings for residents and guests.
