Last week at Woodlands was an extraordinary celebration of felines from around the globe!
Titled ‘Felines from around the World,’ this enchanting theme provided an exciting opportunity for our residents to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of cats and their families. With a week full of activities, information, and fun, it became true heaven for cat lovers and curious minds alike.
On this particular afternoon our residents decided to enjoy the lovely sunshine with the gentle rustle of leaves and the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, in the garden of Woodlands which becomes a haven where our residents came together to share laughter, stories, and their favourite beverages.
Residents Meeting
Everyone gathered for our monthly Residents Meeting. Under the thoughtful guidance of our General Manager, Laura, the meeting served as a platform for sharing updates, discussing important agendas, and previewing a line up of enjoyable events planned for the month of August.
Several team members received Sunflower Awards, an initiative that acknowledges exemplary service and commitment to our residents’ well-being. In addition, some staff members were honoured with their care certificates, a testament to their continuous professional development and passion for providing exceptional care.
