Honouring St. Pat’s Day

Residents and staff joined forces to honor St. Patrick’s Day. This year over at the Ritz, the Friday happy hour was a sea of green while over at Raffles, we made some ever popular Irish Potato Candy which was shared around our home. We also conducted some 1:1 sessions and created Irish entertainment booklets.
