We heard a big thump on the roof early this morning…

After Bill, our Maintenance Manager, went to have a look, it turns out Santa and Mrs. Claus made a quick pit stop to check in on our residents and staff.

Good news — Santa said everyone here has been on the nice list this year! 🥰

Mr. and Mrs. Claus have decided to stay a while and help spread a bit of Christmas cheer around our Guest Home. Make sure to stop by and say hello!

Merry Christmas from everyone at The Northside Community Guest Home 🎄🤶🎅
