Every day, our team goes above and beyond to provide compassionate care, kindness and support to our residents. Your dedication, patience and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

To show our appreciation, our residents decided to lend a hand with some of the staff’s duties today….😄 There were plenty of smiles, laughs and great memories made along the way.

To our amazing team – thank you for the care you provide, the relationships you build, and the difference you make in the lives of our residents every single day. You are truly appreciated.

Today we would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank our wonderful Palliative Care Champions at Star of the Sea. 💛🧡

Yesterday’s Palliative Care Afternoon Tea was a beautiful opportunity to come together with residents, families and staff during National Palliative Care Week to reflect, learn and share conversations about what matters most.

A heartfelt thank you to our passionate Palliative Care Champions for the time, compassion and dedication they continue to give to improving palliative care within our home. Your commitment helps ensure our residents receive care that is personal, respectful and filled with dignity, comfort and kindness.

We are also incredibly proud of the meaningful projects and displays created throughout the home, including our beautiful memorial wall and National Palliative Care Week displays, which encouraged reflection and important conversations.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the afternoon. 💛
