The San Michele Home thanked the community for its support throughout 2025. It celebrated its 80th birthday last year, and to end the year, the staff enjoyed a party on December 12.

Jenny van Graan, the home’s marketing manager, described the event as “awesome”.

“The food was good, the atmosphere welcoming, and after a very difficult year, it was a wonderful day to be thankful and remember why we do what we love. To serve with compassion and empathy is a calling we willingly accept every day,” Jenny said.
