Genevieve N. Johnson Senior Day Care Center

We are out on this beautiful Sunday afternoon representing GNJ and enjoying Jazz On the Plaza sponsored by our friends at East Rock Creek Village. The music, weather, free resources and community neighbors are creating an amazing event!

Today we enjoyed our annual GNJ Day sponsored by our partners at Zion Baptist Church. This day honors the legacy of Mrs. Genevieve N. Johnson and shows appreciation to our staff, participants, caregivers, consultants, and volunteers. We are committed to continuing the work that God has called us to do for our DC Seniors! Let’s keep soaring!💙🧡

Today we celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Elouise Ho**er, GNJ’s amazing Activity Coordinator since 2020! Elouise has always made it her priority to create moments of joy for our seniors. This year is especially important to recognize as Elouise has made the decision to retire at the end of this fiscal year! We celebrate this milestone with Elouise and wish her the very best in all this next journey will bring! Keep celebrating! 🥳

On this Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the enduring impact of our nation's heroes, whose ultimate sacrifice fosters a sense of hope that propels our endeavors towards a brighter future. Memorial Day commemorates those who gave their lives in the pursuit of our freedom.♥️🤍💙

Happy Birthday to one of our very active GNJ seniors! Here's to celebrating a remarkable milestone in the life of our Queen Emeritus Dolores Walker, a beacon of hope and dedication whose numerous contributions to our senior daycare center have been truly invaluable; not only has she actively participated in our programs with unwavering enthusiasm but has also generously volunteered her time and fervently advocated for our mission to uplift the community; today we joyfully honor her indomitable spirit and unparalleled commitment, wishing her a future filled with boundless joy, radiant health, and many more years of service to others, and we eagerly look forward to her continued legacy! Keep on celebrating!🥳 💕Zion Baptist ChurchDC Department of Aging and Community Living
