Its Facebook page posted a cheerful story encouraging relatives to quiz their aging loved ones about their lives, and photos of smiling third graders at a nearby school making flower arrangements for residents. “I’ll be darned if I’m not going to do everything in my power to protect them,” Donny Tuchman wrote before things got worse.
