Did you know that friendships in later life can be just as exciting and fulfilling as those made in our younger years? Studies show that social connections boost mood, strengthen the immune system, and even improve memory.
At Pearson Place, one beautiful example came to life recently. Residents Trudy and Alf are often together, enjoying each other’s company and looking out for one another. When Alf noticed Trudy was feeling down, he picked a few flowers from the community garden to give her. Her smile said it all. A simple, thoughtful gesture showed the depth of their friendship and the difference kindness can make in someone’s day.
