We are thrilled to share the wonderful memories from our New Year’s celebration, where we embraced the vibrant spirit of the 1970s with a disco-themed dance party! Our residents gathered together to celebrate the arrival of the new year, adorned in colorful outfits that truly brought the disco era to life. The atmosphere was electric as our talented DJ spun classic hits, encouraging everyone to hit the dance floor and showcase their best moves. It was a night filled with laughter, joyous connections, and the warmth of community, setting a positive tone for the year ahead. Here’s to many more celebrations and cherished moments throughout 2026!
