We hope these weekly updates are helpful. Thank you all for your continued support.
Last week, Harmony Court welcomed special guests, Gunner the therapy pony, and his owner Alex, from a nearby farm. The surprise visit began with a larger group of residents gathering to meet the gentle newcomer. Faces lit up with joy, as Gunner was paraded around the room, offering affection for any and all who beckoned him.
Later, Alex and Gunner made their rounds to individual suites, allowing residents private petting sessions and even a few horse hugs. No doubt the warmth of equine energy will linger at Harmony Court for days to come.

Sharing … AgeCare Moments that Matter
At AgeCare we strive to make MOMENTS THAT MATTER for our residents every day. Our Moments that Matter program encourages staff to recognize and share the small moments that have a meaningful impact to residents, families, staff and volunteers. Here are some examples:
"Debbie looked up the Happy Birthday song in Italian. She and other staff learned the words so they could sing Happy Birthday to our resident Carol in her native tongue to celebrate her special day." AgeCare Staff
"The Recreation Team created an art display for our residents featuring their art. It was so important to one resident and his family that even though the resident was in the hospital at the time of the event, they got a day pass so they could still attend the show." AgeCare Staff
"Annie has a love of colouring books and reading books, and this was reinforced by staff. They saw that other residents were enjoying this also, and they changed the table from a small round table to a larger square table. Very considerate!" Resident Family Member
