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.
