Acacia Cove Residents kicked off the New Year with a very successful party with great entertainment which got everyone on their feet, dancing into the new year!
We are looking forward to the re-commencing of the construction on the new apartments being built. If all goes as planned, they should be completed by

Our Acacia Cove Residents like to keep physically active as well as mentally. Most of our activities had a short recess period but a lot of them have already started up again to the Resident’s delight.
