Who doesn’t love the aroma of freshly baked cookies? Our cookie-baking sessions bring warmth and nostalgia to our residents. Guided by our caregivers and kitchen staff, seniors mix, shape, and bake cookies. The delightful smell of cookies wafting through Bahay Dona Rosario will surely bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
