On the 18th December 2018, a number of our clients joined in the celebrations hosted by a not for profit CALD organisation - Chinese Nurse Association Australia Melbourne.
The event attracted 150 attendants from other social groups and within the local community with the event held in conjunction with JAPARA's new Residential Aged Care Facility within Glen Waverley. The staff at the facility provided a tour of the 5 star JAPARA The Highbury and spent time introducing their new facilities and providing insight into the Aged Care sector.
At 10:00am, the event festivities commenced with a number of Traditional Dance performances prepared. The dancers were all dressed in brightly coloured costumes and danced swiftly across the hall floor. The attendants all appreciated the performances and wore bright smiles on their faces.
Following, we had a small group of our senior clients perform a dance with tambourines. With the average age of the group being 85 years old, it was a joy to many to see them so actively participate in the celebrations.
The staff at JAPARA kindly prepared delicious refreshments for all to enjoy. We would like to extend our heartful thanks for the warm welcome and preparations that JAPARA put in to host our group.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
