Heartful Passages
Moving into retirement living, caring for a partner with dementia or losing a spouse can leave people quietly carrying a great deal. Heartful Passages gives residents a warm, structured space to share, remember and create, and helps residences offer real support alongside their recreation calendar.
- Two keepsake choices for each theme
- Designed with residence staff; counsellor-supported where needed
- Affordable packages for residences
The Pressure Cooker Meal Series
One hands-on cooking session each month for a full year, brought to your residence, condo social room or community centre. Residents cook together, taste together and take home large-print recipe cards.
- Healthier eating: fresh, whole ingredients with less salt and sugar than prepared foods
- Cooking for one or two: small batches, easy freezer portions and less waste
- Safer and simpler: no open flame, built-in safety features, one pot to clean
- Connection: a monthly gathering residents look forward to
