CURIOSITY CORNER | Silvera is developing a new Reminiscing Program for residents that creates special connections to others through their shared histories.

Expressive art therapist Blythe Bohonos is collaborating with Silvera to cultivate memory displays that engage residents through nostalgia. Recently, she set up "Curiosity Corners" at several supportive living communities that focused on themes including childhood play, cooking, music and everyday items from previous decades.

These displays fostered conversation and reflection with Silvera residents, employees, volunteers and families. Read more on the blog: https://www.silvera.ca/blog/reminiscing-program-at-silvera-sparks-resident-curiosity-and-memories/

DAY OF THE DEAD | Today is Día de los Mu***os. Westview Town Suites celebrated this traditional Mexican holiday on Friday, a time when families welcome back the souls of their deceased loved ones for a brief, joyous reunion.

Many residents, employees, and family members dressed up for the occasion, and the team decorated the atrium to create a festive atmosphere to help celebrate this meaningful cultural tradition. 💀

COMMUNITY FLAGS | Spruce, Aspen, Shawnessy and Westview residents recently stretched their creative muscles making flags to represent the communities where they live.

This program was a great opportunity for residents to feel ownership of their home communities while exploring the things they enjoy about living with Silvera and in their broader neighbourhoods. Residents worked together to decide on the meanings and symbols (both literal and metaphorical) they wanted each flag to convey.

Some communities adopted a single flag, where others created a variety of flags that will be displayed on a rotational basis.

They also enjoyed playing with the inflatable b**r balloon!

Aspen residents also recently celebrated Oktoberfest with a DJ, decorations, food and dancing.

Prost! 🍻
