MEALS AT THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

The Golden Circle is your one-stop shop for nutritious meals! We currently offer in-house dining Mondays for Soup & Sandwich lunch, Wednesdays for Hot Lunch, and Fridays for breakfast, every week. But have no fear the rest of the days of the week as we have a Homestyle Frozen Meals program accessible to all. Offering beef, pork, chicken, fish and omelette options, all meals are made fresh in our commercial kitchen and frozen in individual portions for your convenience. We also have Pot Pies and soups, as well. Check the website for the menu www.goldencircle.ca

Membership is not required for either in-house dining or to purchase the frozen meals, but Golden Circle members get a $2.00 discount on every in-house meal as well as many other benefits. Call 1-403-343-6074 or email [email protected] for more information on our meals and the benefits of membership!

Nourishing Seniors, Building Communities

In retirement communities, mealtimes are vital for seniors, fostering socialization and delivering essential nutrients. To ensure a wholesome diet, communities prioritize well-balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Seniors, prone to health risks, must maintain good nutrition to avoid weight loss, depression, and weakened immune systems. The National Resource Center on Nutrition & Aging reports over 5.5 million seniors facing food insecurity. Retirement communities address nutritional challenges by providing chef-prepared communal meals. This approach ensures proper nutrition, fosters a social atmosphere, and creates a well-rounded dining experience for residents.

Disability Support Unveiled

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) stands as a non-refundable tax credit with the power to significantly reduce income tax payments, subject to approval from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It caters to individuals grappling with physical and mental disabilities, alleviating the financial burdens associated with their impairments. Eligible disabilities span vision, mobility, hearing, feeding, dressing, elimination functions, and mental capacities crucial for daily life. For a list of eligible medical conditions, refer to official resources for comprehensive information.

Socialization Opportunities

Stress is a part of life for many people and sometimes it is not easy to recognize stress because we are caught up in living our everyday lives. Though stress happens first in the mind, it has strong effects on the body as well, and people who have high levels or prolonged stress have higher cholesterol or blood pressure. They may be more prone to narrowing of the arteries, a stroke risk factor. While we can’t eliminate all of your stress at the Golden Circle, we can help to alleviate it by offering many socialization opportunities!

Come to the Coffee Shack Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 11:30am to make new friends or visit those you already know. We also have a variety of clubs and activities that meet regularly that you are welcome to join whether you are an active member here or not.

Fitness Programs

Exercise is one of the most important things you can do for your health. While being physically active can help reduce your risk for heart diseases and conditions, it depends on your current health. No matter what your state of health, there is something you can do to stay active, although you should consult with your health care provider to advise you first on high intensity exercises.

The Golden Circle offers a variety of pre-registered and drop-in fitness activities to both members and non-members that you can participate in. We have a Stretch, Flex and Strengthen class, Sit and Be Fit, Yoga, Zumba, Beginner and Intermediate Tai Chi, a Hardy Walkers Club, Bocce Ball (indoor in the winter!), carpet bowling and more. Some of our classes are even available over Zoom. Contact the Golden Circle at 403-343-6074 for more information!

Golden Circle’s Frozen Meal Program

We all know that the foods that we eat affect our health. While sometimes fast food seems like the easiest choice due to its convenience, it’s certainly not always the healthiest option.

The Golden Circle’s Homestyle Frozen Meal program offers convenient, affordable, low sodium, nutritious meals prepared in house! We have a variety of menu items available with delivery service for a small fee twice per week as well as pick up available on weekdays generally within 48 hours of placing your order. We also offer in-house dining on average three days per week. Come in for a breakfast, soup and sandwich or a hot lunch meal made here in our own commercial kitchen. Check out our website for the menu options and monthly event calendar, stop by in person at 4620 47A Avenue in Red Deer, or call us at 403-343-6074 for all of the details!
