“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier’.”

Alfred Lord Tennyson.

As the new year dawns, it brings with it a sense of renewal and fresh beginnings. At The Richardson in West Perth and The Queenslea in Claremont, we’re embracing this spirit of rejuvenation and hope. Our approach to celebrating the new year revolves around setting meaningful resolutions, engaging in joyful activities, and fostering a sense of community among our residents.

New Year, New Beginnings

The transition into the new year is a time cherished by our residents and staff alike. It’s a period for reflection on the past year’s journey and an opportunity to look forward with optimism. At The Richardson and The Queenslea, we encourage our residents to embrace 2024 by setting personal goals and resolutions. These resolutions might range from engaging more in social activities, trying new hobbies, or focusing on personal wellness.

Celebratory Activities and Events

At our homes, the new year was ushered in with a variety of celebratory events and activities. Our lifestyle teams arranged special programs that cater to the diverse interests of our residents. From festive parties to cultural events that welcome the year ahead, we ensure that there’s something for everyone. These events are not just about celebration; they’re an essential part of creating a vibrant, engaged community where each resident feels valued and connected.
