Touchdown for Team Spirit at Brandon Wilde! Last Friday we had an incredible day celebrating our love for football and food!! Our residents and staff came together in their favorite football shirts/jerseys and the energy was electric. Thank you to everyone who joined in on the festivities. Here's to more unforgettable moments at Brandon Wilde!!!
Happy National Dog Day! Did you know that pets play a vital role in our lives by providing companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness, and enhancing overall emotional well-being. They offer a sense of purpose and routine, which can be particularly beneficial for seniors living alone. Interaction with pets can also lead to physical health benefits, such as increased physical activity through walks and play, and lowered blood pressure and stress levels. Additionally, pets can provide a source of unconditional love and emotional support, helping to alleviate anxiety and depression.
Happy National Senior Citizens Day! Let’s celebrate by showing appreciation to the seniors in our lives, sharing their stories, and creating meaningful connections across generations.
Happy Aged Care Employee Day! Today, we honor and appreciate the hardworking and compassionate individuals who dedicate their careers to caring for seniors.
The Olympic spirit is in full force at Brandon Wilde! 🏅✨ All month long, our residents and team member captains have been competing in a range of exciting events, racking up points along the way.
At Brandon Wilde, we prioritize our employees' well being and safety. Our recent Safety Fair was a huge success covering essential topics like medical emergencies and injury prevention. Employees not only gained valuable skills but also enjoyed a sweet treat after the session! We are proud to foster a culture of care and preparedness. #EmployeeSafety #WellnessAtWork

Consideration of the type and timing of activities for those individuals living with dementia is important to creating a failure free experience. We know as the resident’s day progresses, his or her concentration may diminish, they may have difficulty thinking clearly which may result in becoming easily frustrated due to a tiring brain. Heartfelt Connections recognizes the importance of doing the right activity at the right time of day for the right resident outcome. It’s about focusing on remaining abilities at each moment of the day to create a failure free experience.
