It Starts with NO!
SE Health recently hosted an event to discuss the future of aging. Dawn was invited and had the pleasure to participate with others not only in the senior care industry but also with those from the public library, youth services, and more.

In speaking about continuing care, Dawn discussed why we should say no to institutionalized care for seniors.
Keeping Cool in the Summer While Enjoying the Outdoors
With summers in Alberta not only being short but also unpredictable, we like to make the best of it and give our elders as many experiences we can!

Pictured are just some of the activities we've done. More fun to come! For example, we have reservations to go on the riverboat!

For tips on keeping your elders safe during the summer months, read the article linked below.
Serving lunch outside!
Floating in the pool!

How we WOW!
In addition to providing exemplary care, we look for opportunities to go above and beyond for our elders and their loved ones. Even small gestures can have a large impact.

Recently our Elder Guide, Christine, volunteered to accompany an elder to an important appointment. Having Christine with them made them feel safe. Even though this was not during Christine's normal working hours, she was happy to be there for the elder and provide them with peace of mind.

The elder and her family were so thankful to Christine for this extra care and attention that they sent her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a thank you card.
Canada will soon become a ‘super aged’ country. Here’s why that’s a problem
The Toronto Star shared a report from the National Institute on Ageing titled "Enabling the Future Provision of Long-Term Care in Canada".

The Toronto Star talks about the recommendations identified in this report which aim to shift the focus away from institutional care.
ExquisiCare’s Everyday Excellence
ExquisiCare is passionate about providing exquisite care. We strive to be the very best we can be. It’s why families bring their loved ones to us, and it’s why they refer their friends to us. It’s all the little things we do that make us ‘the best’ option for seniors who need care.

Can You be Too Old to Learn Something New?
SE Health asked their Elizz readers what they thought about the statement:
'I am too old to learn new things'. Their unanimous response was heartwarming.

SE goes on to discuss how to exercise your brain, going out of your comfort zone, and how lifelong learning is for everyone at every age.
