A special moment during the event was the presentation of a long service award to Juanita Nisperos, a dedicated chef at Roseacres for 25 years. Surprised and teary-eyed, Juanita expressed her gratitude for the recognition of her hard work and commitment to the residents.
Among the attendees was MC, a new resident who had just joined on the day of the party. With front-row seats during the show, MC expressed happiness and gratitude for the warm welcome. FC, a relative of a resident, shared her feelings of privilege for being part of the celebration with her husband, stating it felt like a moment of normalcy amidst their care home experience. She affectionately referred to the staff as “the dream team” and even volunteered to capture a group photo of everyone.
Following the event, the team received a touching email from the daughter of one of the residents, expressing her gratitude for the wonderful party and the care provided to the residents.
The Silver Party was not only a celebration of 25 years of Roseacres but also a reminder of the strong community spirit and the joy that comes from bringing people together.
