What is Resident-Centred
Care?
|
|
|
Optima Living is proud to offer
resident-centred care at our
communities. Resident-centred care is
a model of care for seniors that
invites, accommodates, and respects
their personal wishes and desires in
healthcare and lifestyle decisions.
Resident-centred care can enhance
well-being in every aspect—physical,
intellectual, creative, and
spiritual.
Visit our library to discover how
resident-centred care improves the
lives of our seniors.

At age 68, one of our
Assisted Living residents
made a life-changing
commitment to run the
Ironman with his son if he
quit smoking—even though he
didn’t know how to swim.
After learning to swim as
part of his training, they
completed the Ironman
together, and his son
successfully quit smoking.
We were honoured to have
this inspiring resident
carry the torch at our
Olympics Opening
Ceremony!
