Resident stories

Resident story
A multi-generational group gathers in a modern community room with large windows and wood floors. Adults and children sit in a loose circle on black folding chairs, with some participants sitting on the floor. A blonde woman in a black sleeveless top sits in the centre. Scattered on the wooden floor are books, papers, and a pink dollhouse.
