It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Lakeside Living


Lakeside Living residents are in full Christmas mode, bringing in December with carols, cards and communal feasts. 

St Malachy's primary students delighted the crowd by singing a list of everyone's favourite Christmas carols, before handing out cards and sharing cheese platters with residents. 

 

It was a fitting end to a packed schedule of student visitors throughout 2024, from Edenhope College, St Malachy's primary school and Edenhope playgroup. 

 

Residents then enjoyed their own Christmas feast, complete with poppers and festive hats. 

 

Grampians Health Edenhope staff extend a heartfelt thank you to all community groups that have brought life and laughter into Lakeside Living in 2024. 

 

May all of these visits continue in 2025, as the benefit to residents is immeasurable.
