Each month, we highlight a STRIVE story from across our community. These stories reflect what we stand for as an organization and showcase how we strive for excellence in everything we do, through meaningful connection, clear communication, and exceptional senior care.
We believe seniors should feel supported both physically and emotionally. Daily life can present unique challenges for those living with dementia, which is why we focus on creating thoughtful, comfortable living spaces that feel like home.
This month’s STRIVE story is from Agassiz Seniors Community and Glenwood Seniors Community:
A dedicated working group was established to improve the environment of the BSTN Care Unit, specifically for Residents requiring specialized dementia care. The initiative centres on creating a comforting, home-like setting by incorporating thoughtful design, sensory comfort, and familiar elements. This approach aims to support the emotional well-being, dignity, and daily experiences of Residents, reflecting a commitment to person-centred care. By fostering a sensory-friendly and familiar atmosphere, the program helps Residents, families, and staff feel engaged, supported, and at ease. Ultimately, the initiative promotes dignity and well-being for Residents while also bringing joy and purpose to families and staff, strengthening connections and creating a greater sense of home for everyone involved.
