RIP HRH Queen Elizabeth II

“It is with great sadness, that we acknowledge the death of HRH Queen Elizabeth II and offer our condolences to the royal family at this very difficult time.

As with so many across the world, we are choosing to spend this time recalling our fondest memories from her majesty’s reign. And as we celebrate her incredible life, we also feel it is our duty to continue sharing news from our homes in the hopes that our residents’ photos and stories can offer some light in the dark days of mourning ahead.”
