Be Supported at Verve “Support” means all manner of things. Physical, psychological, and even social support are increasingly important as we age, and how that support is manifested is just as important. At Verve Senior Living, we believe in active aging to keep the body in motion and mind engaged—all through an active social calendar! Our caring support team is on hand round the clock to ensure those goals are met, and there’s always someone when you need them. Discover the many opportunities to #BeSupported at Verve Senior Living. Be Supported at Verve Social + Smiling! We celebrated Canada Day, Personal Chef Day, and even National Hot Dog Day last month! Through creativity and connection, our Life Enrichment Managers are supporting our residents and keeping them smiling all summer long. Life Enrichment to Support Vibrant Living: Fit Minds Did you know that our brain continues to grow as we age? Thanks to brain plasticity, that old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” just isn’t true! At Verve Senior Living, we offer evidence-based Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Programs based on Language and Music, Visual/ Spatial Orientation, Working & Long-Term Memory, Critical Thinking, and Computation skills. Delivered by our trained Life Enrichment Managers and Assistants, these Fit Minds programs change up weekly for consistent cognitive stimulation that are fun and engaging as they are challenging! LIVING LOVING LOCAL August’s star ingredient: Corn Boiled, barbecued and popped, corn is a tasty summer specialty that also features health benefits such as antioxidants and vitamin C that help prevent cancer and heart disease. Those little yellow kernels are also a good source of carotenoids: antioxidants that convert to vitamin A, which is essential for eye health and boosting immunity. So we're cooking up corn as this month's Living Loving Local star ingredient! Watch the full cooking demo by Chef Allan Campbell and download the recipe here. On the Blog Creative Ideas For Old Photographs We put together our favourite ideas on what to do with your old photographs. Pour an icy glass of lemonade, check out these creative tips, and get ready to reminisce! RESIDENT TESTIMONIAL Here's what a resident said about us… “My independent elderly mom has a slight memory problem, and after 5 1/2 years, her independent living community was no longer able to provide the minimal extra help she needed. During the tour of Courtyard Gardens with June, my mom felt very welcome, and we loved the inviting, bright and modern surroundings. Mom moved into her new home last November, and after a few weeks, found her new groove. Thanks to the patient and friendly team at Courtyard Gardens, I have peace of mind that mom is happy, safe and is being treated with respect.” - Zinha (daughter of Courtyard Gardens resident, Pat) Find out what’s new at Verve Senior Living, download delicious recipes, and more by signing up for our newsletter.
