What an amazing story captured by our Recreation Coordinator Deidre! We love when Stettler and Area Family Resource Network bring in their Oaks and Acorns program to mingle with our residents! We cannot wait to see them in the new year!!
Meet Jack and Nolan.
They may not be blood relatives, but they’ve created a bond that is irreplaceable. Nolan visits Points West Living Stettler each month with the Oaks & Acorns Mom & Tot group. From the very first day he chose to sit beside Jack, and their friendship has grown ever since.
Every visit, Nolan looks for Jack. If Jack isn’t there yet, Nolan asks for him by name. When it’s time to leave, his question is always the same: “When can I come back?” For Jack, these days bring extra smiles and a spring in his step. They laugh, joke, craft, and share hugs before parting. This ongoing friendship reminds us that companionship isn’t just nice; it is essential.
At Connecting Care, we believe that strong communities are built on meaningful relationships. By fostering partnerships with child and teen organizations, we create opportunities for intergenerational connection that brighten lives, ease loneliness, and nurture belonging for everyone involved.
