There’s always something to look forward to in senior living!

A major benefit of senior living communities is that they often host regularly scheduled activities! From fitness classes to games to art classes and social events, regularly scheduled activities help keep each day engaging and meaningful. It’s a great way to stay active, make new friends, and enjoy a vibrant community lifestyle.

Ping pong is a bridge between neighbours, sparking laughter, friendly competition, and new friendships. The quick reflexes and required focus keep minds sharp, while the movement gets bodies active, all in a space where connection thrives.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or picking up a paddle for the first time, the table is always open. Here, every game is an invitation to have fun, stay engaged, and be part of a community that cheers each other on.

It’s a great reminder to check in on your emergency kit. A few small updates—like replacing expired food, swapping old batteries, or refreshing important documents—can make a big difference when it matters most.
Staying prepared today helps keep you and your loved ones safe tomorrow. 💙

There’s something powerful about coming together to move our bodies and care for our health. Group exercise is more than just fitness — it’s connection, motivation, and shared joy.

Whether it’s a morning stretch, an afternoon walk, or a light movement class, being active as a community helps us feel stronger, brighter, and more supported. It’s not about keeping up, it’s about showing up, side by side.

Wellness feels even better when it’s shared.

Today, we joyfully gather to honor our exceptional team members! Under the warm sun, we hosted a vibrant tri-site BBQ, where Oakwood Manor and Parkwood joined us at Kensington for a day filled with laughter and camaraderie. This celebration is a heartfelt tribute to those remarkable individuals who dedicate themselves every day to enhancing the lives of our residents. Your unwavering commitment and passion shine brightly, and we are profoundly grateful for your choice to be a part of the Optima family and for the compassionate care you provide to our residents.
