On New Year’s Eve, with guidance from one of our wonderful family members, residents rolled up their sleeves and made Olliebollen, a beloved Dutch treat often called Dutch doughnuts. 🍩

Olliebollen have a long history in the Netherlands, dating back hundreds of years. Traditionally made with yeast dough, lightly fried, and dusted with powdered sugar, they’re most commonly enjoyed on New Year’s Eve. Many families see them as a way to welcome good luck and start the year on a sweet note.

More than just a delicious treat, this activity was about sharing traditions, stories, and time together. Moments like these fill our home with warmth, connection, and a true sense of celebration as we welcome the year ahead.

When Eddy and the Stingrays come to the Care Centre, it’s impossible to sit still. The music was playing, feet were tapping, and before long folks were up dancing, clapping, and singing along. The energy in the room said it all. 🕺🎶

Live music like this brings back memories, sparks joy, and gets everyone moving, and Eddy and the Stingrays deliver every single time. Thank you for filling our home with great tunes, big smiles, and a whole lot of fun.

From the jingle of bells to the biggest smiles in the room, Santa’s visit brought so much warmth and happiness to our home. Watching gifts being handed out, laughter shared, and holiday magic filling the halls was a beautiful reminder of what this season is really about. 🎅🎄🎁

Thank you for spreading cheer, creating memories, and helping us end the season full of gratitude and joy. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to Greely Foodland for organizing this year's Angel Tree in support of our home. 🎄

The generosity of this community has truly blown us away. Because of you, Christmas morning will be filled with extra joy, warmth, and meaningful moments for our residents. It’s incredibly touching to know how many people care about our home and show their support in such a thoughtful and special way.

Thank you to Greely Foodland staff and to every community member who picked an angel and helped make this season brighter for those who call Osgoode Care Centre home. 💙

Our residents have been busy getting creative with Christmas crafts. There’s a lot of joy in these moments. Time slows down, conversations flow, and something colourful begins to take shape.

But crafts are about more than making something lovely to display. Activities like this help strengthen fine motor skills and support hand coordination. Those small movements matter. They help residents maintain independence in everyday tasks like brushing teeth, buttoning a shirt, or combing their hair.

We're sending a heartfelt thank you to Connie’s Custom Gifts for once again helping make the holidays feel a little more magical. ✨

We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity Connie brings to our community. It’s people like her who remind us what this season is really about. 🎄

Music has a way of reaching people when words fall short. And thanks to the generosity of Desjardins, the Fondation Miroir Foundation, and everyone who supported the Metcalfe Golf and Country Club Charity Classic, our music therapy program is making that connection possible. 🎶🎵🎼

Music therapy here is truly for everyone. The program meets residents exactly where they are, whether that’s through sight, sound, or touch. From gentle rhythms and familiar melodies to hands-on instruments, every resident can take part in the magic of music in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.

We’re incredibly grateful to our supporters for making this program possible and for helping bring more moments of connection, comfort, and joy into the lives of those who call Osgoode Care Centre Home. 💙
