The 21st August is Senior Citizen’s Day – a great day to celebrate and recognise the wonderful, unique and amazing older people who are such a part of our lives! This day is intended to increase awareness of the issues and factors that affect older people, and to recognise and acknowledge the contributions older people have made and continue to make to society. It’s a cause that’s close to our hearts, and we work hard every day to make sure we provide the best community for our elderly residents to live full and dignified lives, and to ensure they are valued and treated with honour and respect.
So, if you have an elderly person in your life whom you love and appreciate, today’s the day to let them know! Take a moment to connect with an older friend, neighbour or relative today – you’ll probably make their day.
