Today we celebrated our amazing Life Enrichment Assistant, Kaitlyn, on her last day at CopperWood. 🥂 Although we’re sad to say “see you later,” we had to send her off in style! Since she’s known for having the best lashes in the room, we all wore lashes in her honor before heading out to brunch together. 💕

We are so proud of her and excited to see all the wonderful things ahead for her! ✨
