The holiday season at NewAldaya Lifescapes was truly magical this year, thanks to the incredible success of our Adopt-a-Resident Program. We’re excited to share heartwarming stories and photos capturing the joy that residents experienced as they received thoughtful gifts from our generous community members.

- Community Engagement:
- An astounding 29 community members actively participated in the program, spreading joy to our residents.
- The NewAldaya Lifescapes team, with the support of 48 staff members, played a significant role in making the holidays special for our residents.
