A quiet moment of grace. 🙏 For many of our residents, faith continues to bring comfort, strength, and meaning.

Between the hustle and bustle of Christmas and the New Year, we were able to pause and enjoy a beautiful music program out on by the MacPhail Cello Choir. 🎶🎻 Led by Joe Kaiser, whose mother calls Ecumen Lakeview Commons home, this group of 8 student cellists plus teacher Joe practices weekly and has performed annually at our community for several years. Lucky, lucky us! 🥰✨
