Visiting loved ones in residence: A win-win for all.
|Tips
Our age doesn’t change the importance of family and friendship in our lives. These relationships enrich our existence, bringing joy, kindness and love all around. Visiting loved ones in senior residences is a significant way of nurturing these connections.
Sharing moments with them is more than just a benefit – it’s a precious gift for both of you. And, as an added bonus, you’ll get to enjoy a fun-filled day with engaging and enjoyable activities!
Breaking isolation and fostering interactions
Did you know that loneliness is harmful to both physical and mental health, affecting people of all ages? Prolonged social isolation can lead to issues like anxiety and depression in older adults, as well as an increased risk of heart disease. Simply put, it shortens one’s lifespan.
At Le Groupe Maurice, we believe that socializing with employees and residents, treating them like neighbours, and encouraging visits from family and friends in residence, helps break down isolation. By spending quality time with loved ones, you’re not only boosting each other’s well-being but also strengthening the connections that matter.
Your visit is not only welcome but also deeply appreciated by the other residents. Most of them love having visitors and the positive energy they bring, which encourages social interactions and creates a joyful mood in the residence. In fact, every smile and conversation brighten up the day for all – residents and staff alike!
With the kids…
Visiting loved ones in residence is a wonderful chance to bond with family. And, at Le Groupe Maurice, you’re welcome to visit them at any time, either in their apartment or in the common areas that are open to all.
Why not make it a family affair and bring the kids along? Our residences offer a wealth of activities that will delight both children and adults. With swimming pools, billiards, bowling and more, there’s something to keep everyone entertained all day long!
Intergenerational connections are truly invaluable. They bring a sense of warmth and tenderness that enriches our hearts, while also teaching younger generations the significance of family and the vital role that human relationships play in our lives.
These moments help kids grasp the daily lives of older adults and cultivate empathy. Meanwhile, seniors can share their life stories, wisdom and experiences, fostering a heartwarming exchange that bridges the generation gap.
… or with friends!
Whether it’s over coffee in their cozy apartment, playing a game of cards in the lounge, or enjoying a comforting afternoon by the fireplace, every visit – whether from family or friends – offers a chance to bond, reminisce about old memories and create new ones.
When possible, why not reserve the private dining room to mark a birthday or special event? Don’t miss this chance to cap off the day with a exhilarating celebration and a smile on your face.
Visiting loved ones in residence can bring immense joy to everyone involved; residents, staff and you. So, don’t hold back. Come and visit! These moments not only enhance lives but also bring up a warm and welcoming environment where love shines bright. Plus, they remind us that even when distance or circumstances separate us, the ties that bind our hearts can remain unbroken.
