🎄 Holiday Cheer is in the Air at Oaks Retirement Village! 🎄

The most wonderful time of the year is almost here, and we’re thrilled to share all the exciting Christmas activities happening at Oaks Retirement Village!

We’re over the moon to announce the return of our Fill the Bus Campaign — a beloved community campaign that helps spread joy to families right here in Wallaceburg.

This year, we’ve proudly partnered with the Wallaceburg Legion Branch 18 for Frost Fest, where donations can be dropped off on November 20th at the Legion. The Legion will have homemade soup to help warm you up during Frost Fest!

After Frost Fest, the Fill the Bus will make its way back home to Oaks Retirement Village for our Annual Holiday Bazaar on November 22nd! It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy some holiday shopping, community spirit, and giving back to those in need.

All goods collected will stay in our Wallaceburg community and will be delivered on November 25th — just in time to bring warmth and cheer to local families.

✨ For those who’d like to get involved early, we’ve set up a donation box in our front lobby at Oaks Retirement Village. Every item makes a difference!

Let’s make this holiday season extra special together — through generosity, laughter, and community spirit. ❤️

Remembrance Day at Oaks Retirement Village ❤️

Yesterday morning, residents and staff at Oaks Retirement Village came together in quiet reflection to honour and remember those who fought for our freedom. 🇨🇦

We were truly grateful to have the Honour Guard join us for our Remembrance Day service — their presence made the ceremony even more meaningful. Together, we paid tribute to the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed so much for our country.

Today at 11am, we will join the country in having a moment of silence.

Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

🩵 November is Diabetes Awareness Month 🩵

At Oaks Retirement Village, we’re proud to join the nationwide effort to raise awareness, promote education, and support those living with diabetes.

Diabetes affects millions of people across the country — including many older adults — and early detection and proper management can make all the difference in maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

💙 Our Commitment at Oaks Retirement Village

We take a proactive approach to monitoring and supporting our residents’ health. Our dedicated care team works closely with residents, families, and healthcare providers to ensure every individual receives personalized attention.

Here’s how we help manage and monitor diabetes care within our community:

Regular Health Screenings: Routine blood sugar checks and vital sign monitoring help us stay ahead of any changes.

Medication Management: Our trained staff assist with medication reminders and insulin administration as prescribed.

Nutritious Meal Planning: Our culinary team prepares balanced, diabetes-friendly meals tailored to each resident’s dietary needs.

Physical Wellness Programs: Gentle exercise classes and walking groups encourage healthy activity levels that support blood sugar control.

Resident Education: We provide ongoing resources and information sessions to help residents understand and manage their diabetes effectively.

At Oaks Retirement Village, we believe awareness is the first step toward prevention and better health. This month, and every month, we’re here to support our residents in living vibrant, fulfilling lives — one healthy choice at a time.

💙 Join Us in Spreading Awareness

Together, we can make a difference by promoting education, early detection, and compassionate care.
