Many senior living residents not only maintain their lifelong friendships, but also quickly develop new, meaningful connections.

I have spent more than a decade working in across BC and Alberta. In this time, I have had the privilege to work with some wonderful teams. I have also spent countless hours meeting potential residents; welcoming new residents; sharing laughs, challenges, and friendships with current residents; and (as is the nature of aging populations) saying many sad goodbyes with families of residents who have passed.

Unlike other hospitality businesses, working in we truly get to know our residents. Day in and day out, we support them and ensure their lives are full. These are not one-way relationships. Anyone who has the honour of working with seniors benefits greatly from the meaningful conversations and priceless learnings from the lived experiences of our residents.

I can say, wholeheartedly, this work is truly rewarding.

Moving into a is a big decision and a big life change. There can be anxiety around entering a new place, but perhaps the biggest learnings we see with residents is that they discover there actually is not much to fear. Our teams and volunteers help residents transition into their new homes with empathy and ease.

My favourite thing to witness once a resident has moved in, is their newfound (and unexpected) lease on life. I see so many residents not only keep up with their lifelong friends and family, but also quickly develop new, meaningful friendships. The move is a big life change, but in a really good way.
