The week was filled with moments of joy by showcasing the power of simple pleasures like fresh air, music, and laughter. The week kicked off with heartfelt community outreach on Wednesday, May 14, as Home Manager Peta Goodwin-Hill visited a local hospital to deliver goodie bags, spreading kindness and cheer.
