The Annual Christmas Fair

On Saturday, November 15th, West Farm Care Centre hosted its much-loved Christmas Fair. This annual tradition is always a highlight of the calendar, and this year was no exception. Families, residents, and staff gathered to enjoy a festive afternoon filled with stalls, seasonal treats, and plenty of opportunities for early Christmas shopping. Handmade crafts, gifts, and delicious goodies were on display, making it the perfect chance to pick up something special while supporting local sellers.

Adding to the magic, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance. Residents and their grandchildren were thrilled to meet him, with smiles and laughter filling the room. Santa posed for photos, handed out festive cheer, and made the day truly unforgettable. For the children, it was a magical moment, while residents enjoyed watching their families share in the joy of the season.

These types of events showcase the dedication of the staff and the strong sense of community at West Farm Care Centre.

As the festive season approaches, the memories made during this busy month will carry forward, reminding everyone that West Farm Care Centre is not just a place of care—it’s a place of celebration, connection, and love.
