It is hard placing a family member in a retirement home. However, what a lot of younger people don’t realize is that most seniors actually thrive in an environment where everyone has the same interests.
Fred, a resident at MLP Residence loves living here and thrives on the company and activities that are planned for the residents. Fred says “Before I came to MLP I had lost weight and was lonely, after moving here I have gained weight and I really look forward to attending and participating in all the social activities that take place here. One of my favourite events is when we have a singing group come and perform. We all sing along and some of us get up and dance to the lively music played by the band. I also enjoy the company of the other residents, a group of us spend our afternoon playing cards. I love playing Wii with other residents in the lounge – the staff here are so friendly I can usually persuade one of them to play Wii Bowling with me, and of course, I always win! Moving to MLP is the best decision I have ever made!”
