Arcare Noosa has celebrated its first birthday, with residents, families and team members gathering for an intimate celebration with decorations, cake, and heartfelt speeches.
“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,” said Arcare Noosa’s Lifestyle Coordinator, Cassandra Wallis.
81-year-old Avdo (pictured, above) was the first resident to move in, along with 80-year-old Robert (main photo) who moved in the following day and 96-year-old Leila (pictured, below) shortly after.
At the birthday event, Avdo’s daughter, Senka who volunteers at the residence, shared 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.”
“We are very pleased that residents have embraced their new lifestyle and have formed new and lasting friendships over the last year,” Residence Manager, Laura-Jo Bleasdale said.
“Together with our globally celebrated relationship-first approach and our 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.”
