- Multicolor postcard split into 4 segments, each with a different picture. Clockwise from top left: photograph of the Resthaven Nursing Home, a large, white mansion slightly obscured by trees; a patient's room where a nurse in white uniform is sitting next to an elderly worman in a blue gown and covered with a colorful blanket. The room has wide, yellow curtains, a bed with a yellow blanket, a large vase of flowers on a table, a yellow and green tiled floor, and a tall, green dresser with a plant on the top; a recreational toom with blue walls, many chairs and tables, a television set, and a large checkerboard; a color illustration of three people, from left to right: a seated elderly man in a suit with white hair, beard and glasses with his left hand supporting his head while reading a book; a nurse in a white uniform, white cap, and red cloak over her shoulders, buttoned at the neck, standing above and looking over the man and woman; an elderly woman wearing a black dress and pink shawl, with white curly hair, glasses, pearls, and reading a book. The Caduceus symbol is in between the elderly man and woman.
