This afternoon coffee (17/03/17) was an absolute joy to witness. The lifestyle team organised the refreshments and interacted with all residents to make them feel special and involved. The music and dancing gave the afternoon a festive atmosphere – ‘Italian style’ with singing and dancing – all the residents were enjoying the company and socialising. They are a great team offering lots of care and love to each resident.

I just wanted to send a message to let the activity coordinator know what an amazing job their staff did at the Casa D’Abruzzo Pensioners lunch yesterday. We were sitting at the table next to one of their tables and were amazed at what an amazing job these women were doing with the residents of San Carlo’s. Their gentle and caring mannerisms didn’t go unnoticed by our whole table. I spoke to one of the carers and mentioned that it takes a certain, special type of person to be able to do the job they do and they most certainly proved that they have that ability. They all showed such a dedication and all proved that they take their jobs very seriously. Nice to see.
