On 18th January, our Arcare Noosa community celebrated the one-year anniversary of opening.
Residents, families and team members gathered for an intimate celebration with decorations, cake, and speeches from team members.
“We are excited to celebrate and commemorate our one-year anniversary with the first residents and our team members who have been here since the opening of Arcare Noosa,“ lifestyle coordinator Cassandra Wallis said.
Avdo, 81, was the first resident to move in, along with 80-year-old Robert moving in the next day and 96-year-old Leila shortly after.
Avdo’s daughter, Senka who volunteers at the residence, shared with that “the family is honoured to have dad as the first resident in such a beautiful new facility. Mum and I are happy because we know he is happy here. The team have created a wonderful home environment for everyone. We have also loved getting to know the other residents and their families as they have moved in. We all feel like family now.”
Residents have embraced their new lifestyle and have formed new and lasting friendships over the last year.
Together with their globally celebrated relationship-first approach and dedicated team, Arcare supports resident health and well-being to ensure they live their best lives.
“The year has gone by so quickly, and what a year it has been! It’s been an absolute pleasure welcoming and settling clients into their new home at Arcare Noosa and working alongside the most wonderful team of professionals who go above and beyond every day. It is an honour to be your facility manager. Here’s to another great year ahead,” Laura-Jo Bleasdale, residence manager said.
