Middle Swan Residential Care celebrated its first anniversary on 10 July 2024, marking a year of community and exceptional care. Held in the MacDonald Auditorium, the event was attended by approximately 100 guests, including residents, staff and the Board of Masonic Care WA.
The celebration commenced with a warm welcome from Chairman Peter Kirwan. Reflecting on the journey since the groundbreaking event in 2020, Peter praised the remarkable achievements and commitment that have shaped Middle Swan into a wonderful home for its residents. He extended heartfelt thanks to Facility Manager Dez Lopez and her team for their dedication.
