Supporting Senior Health Through Nutrition

Good nutrition plays a vital role in aging well, especially when it comes to kidney health. At Exquisicare, we understand the importance of a balanced diet in managing chronic conditions and enhancing overall well-being. Our registered dietitian, Kristen Hruschak, RD, has carefully reviewed and refined our menus to ensure they meet nutritional standards while adding variety and enjoyment for our residents.

In our latest blog, we explore key nutrition strategies for seniors, how families can help, and why proper dietary choices are essential for kidney health. 

Honoring Women: Strength, Kindness, and Impact

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who shape our families, communities, and workplaces. Their strength, resilience, and compassion inspire us every day.

At Exquisicare, we see firsthand the profound impact of women—whether as caregivers, leaders, or loved ones. Their kindness is woven into every act of care, every word of encouragement, and every moment of support they provide.

This year, let’s honour the women in our lives by recognizing their contributions, sharing words of appreciation, and spreading kindness. A simple act—listening, offering encouragement, or saying thank you—can make a meaningful difference.

To all the women who give so much of themselves: we celebrate you today and always. 💜

For more inspiration on how women continue to shape our world with strength and resilience, visit the Government of Canada's International Women's Day page.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at ExquisiCare:

The Joy of Shared Traditions

At ExquisiCare, we love any opportunity to bring our community together, and St. Patrick’s Day was no exception! This festive holiday was a time for residents and staff to enjoy music, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness, all while celebrating Irish culture and heritage. The day was filled with joy, connection, and plenty of Irish cheer.

Recognizing holidays in a senior living home is about more than just festivities; it’s about fostering a sense of belonging, joy, and community. Celebrations like St. Patrick’s Day provide meaningful opportunities for engagement, helping residents stay socially active and emotionally fulfilled. According to an article from the National Institute on Aging, social engagement is linked to cognitive health, making these moments even more valuable for our residents. These celebrations offer moments of connection, spark positive memories, and create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated.

At ExquisiCare, we believe in celebrating life every day, and recognizing special occasions is just one of the many ways we bring joy to our residents. These moments enrich our community and remind us all of the importance of laughter, friendship, and shared experiences.

Sláinte to another wonderful celebration, and we look forward to many more joyful moments together!

"Sláinte" is an Irish word that means "health." It is commonly used as a toast, similar to saying "cheers" when raising a glass in celebration. In this context, it's a way to express goodwill and joy for the occasion!

Everyday Joy at ExquisiCare

At ExquisiCare, we believe that family extends beyond our immediate loved ones—it includes our residents and coworkers too. We love celebrating and making memories together, whether it’s through music, movement, or shared experiences in the kitchen. Dancing is a favorite activity, bringing joy, energy, and connection while promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Cooking together is another way we bond, sharing stories, traditions, and delicious meals that create a sense of home. Movement and music play a vital role in enriching our lives, keeping us active, engaged, and uplifted. These moments of joy and togetherness foster a true sense of community, where everyone—residents and staff alike—feels valued and cherished.

At ExquisiCare, every day is an opportunity to move, laugh, and create lasting memories together.
