Zorgpartners Midden-Holland and Gouda Bij Kaarslicht are inextricably linked. We are proud of our partnership because this is an important tradition for our residents. By watching the live images of Candlelight Evening in the care centers, we bring the tradition into their living rooms. It’s a celebration of recognition when our residents see Gouda City Hall and the Christmas tree lights are turned on. We also sing Christmas carols together. Because we celebrate together.
