Seasons launches new signature program Seniorosity™
Residents remain connected to the community through volunteering
OAKVILLE, ON, Oct. 4, 2018 /CNW/ - To help residents stay connected to the community and realize the benefits of volunteering, Seasons Retirement Communities launched its newest signature program, Seniorosity™ in June 2018.
Earlier this year Seasons hosted a contest to name this important program. The winner was Marcella, Fun Manager at Seasons Welland, who suggested Seniorosity™, a combination of the words Seniors and Generosity.
"Seniorosity™ is designed to give residents more opportunities to connect with people and organizations in the greater community," says Kim Mitchell, Director of Fun, Seasons Retirement Communities. "Seniors can participate in service that is geared towards their individual abilities and interests. The goal of the program is to get to know the community while increasing feelings of happiness."
For the past five months all 20 Seasons Retirement Communities in Ontario and Alberta have participated in outings and events that are important to residents. Visiting local fire stations, surprising neighbours with homemade cookies and donating items to pet shelters are among the highlights.
After retirement it may be difficult for seniors to feel purposeful and connected to the community. Volunteering can lead to a sense of accomplishment and belonging. Seniors can add value to charity groups and organizations with their wealth of experiences and insights.
"There are countless ways for seniors to become involved in their communities, says Mitchell. "Our dedicated team members empower residents to participate in Seniorosity™ and make it a priority to organize events and outings based on their passions and interests."
