🎄Deck the Halls with boughs of holly!

The OPAL Team got together to dress up our residence for the festive season! This year our theme is “Luxurious Lodge.” Starting with an “outdoor” bonfire, snowy blankets, shiny glittery deer, Christmas trees of various sizes and rows of snowy birch trees with LED lights.

We transformed our Bistro Library into a vintage holiday cabin complete with a rocking chair with pillow and faux fur blanket, guitar, a retro radio, wooden ski’s propped against the wall and Christmas stockings above the fireplace.

As we share our merry and festive holiday atmosphere with all of you, we hope you find some brightness in your day too!

Let’s discuss your bone health!

Did you know that 1 in 4 female and 1 in 8 male Canadians over the age of 50 have osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a bone disease with a low bone density which slows bone cell replacement. Due to the loss of minerals, the structure is weak and unable to take the normal weight. In our latest talk, Sam, one of our Recreation Assistants, introduced some simple changes in our daily lives that residents can make to prevent osteoporosis, such as diet supplements (calcium & Vitamin D), low impact physical activities, fall prevention and maintaining a proper posture.

You can find out how your bones are doing by getting a bone density test. Ask your doctor for one – it is an x-ray like test that helps with early detection of osteoporosis. This allows doctors to determine the strength of your bones and help put together a strengthening plan or a solution that prevents future deterioration and injuries. Prevention is simple and painless.
