Happy National Seniors Day!

/in , , ,

Today October 1, 2026 is National Seniors Day!

It’s a day for Canadians to recognize the profound contributions and value our seniors bring to our families, communities, and workplaces. It’s a day to celebrate our seniors and let them know how much we respect them and care for them.

Here are some things you can do for National Seniors Day:

  • Call a senior in your life and have a chat either by phone or video call
  • Send a card or postcard in the mail and surprise them with a letter
  • Visit that important senior in your life and go for a walk outside, play a game of cards, or have lunch together
  • Do something kind for a senior in your life. Do chores, run errands, or cook them dinner
  • Sit down with and look at old photos together and remember some good times!
  • Learn more about your family history. Speak with your elders and learn about their lives. Learn where you come from
  • Smile and just say “hi”

THANK YOU, to our seniors for your wisdom and love and for the impact you have in all of our lives!

How have seniors positively impacted your life this year?

Re:  Long-Term Care Resident Quality of Life Survey – Menno Place

Dear Residents and Families,

At Menno Place, we are committed to enhancing the quality of life of our residents. Beginning September 10, 2026, we will be conducting a Resident Quality of Life Survey for our long-term care residents in Menno Home and Menno Hospital.

The survey will provide residents with an opportunity to share their experiences related to well-being, relationships, choice and decision-making, daily life, and overall satisfaction with living at Menno Place. Feedback will help guide improvements to our programs and services.

Residents will be supported to complete the survey as needed. All responses will remain confidential and reported anonymously.

Thank you for your participation and continued partnership in helping us provide the best possible care and experience for our residents.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you
