Each year June marks Senior’s Month, an important month to recognize the amazing work that goes on behind the doors of long-term care homes across the province. At Meadow Park Chatham we feel Seniors Month is more than just a month long celebration. It is just a small sampling of the great care and efforts that happen within the 100 bed long-term care home. It is a month to showcase how far long-term care has come but to also acknowledge the efforts we need to make moving into the future. It is an opportunity to raise awareness about how our community and province can advocate for seniors of today and for seniors of tomorrow.
Meadow Park was proud to celebrate alongside our most senior resident Mr. Doug Stuart who celebrated his 101st Birthday on June 23rd. As well, the home celebrated its 5th annual Family Council BBQ and car show with a special visit from our Chatham-Kent-Essex MPP Rick Nicholls.
By the end of June, Meadow Park Chatham had made their mark in the Ontario Long Term Care Association “Better Care for Seniors” advocacy campaign. With over 1,600 letters submitted to MPPs across Ontario, the home did its very best to communicate the needs of residents who live in long-term care.
Overall, it has been a month of great achievements, milestones, and great pride and love for the people we serve. Seniors month is more than just a month. It is commitment and passion to make a difference in the lives of those we care for every day.
