The Best in Care for Your Aging Parents

The Best in Care for Your Aging Parents

Adult children with aging parents sometimes find it overwhelming to take good care of their loved ones. Because of their demanding careers, some with long working hours and extensive travel, this so-called ‘sandwich generation’ finds it increasingly difficult to squeeze in time to attend to their parents’ needs. Bria Communities offers the best in care for your aging parents to ensure that they are safe and satisfied, with the highest quality of life available.

Life Beyond Retirement

Caring for elderly parents requires dedication and affection, which is why our Bria team members are open-hearted and passionate about or residents. Our people are patient, keen on detail, and able to motivate and encourage.

Bria Communities helps seniors find joy in their new homes: our residents are highly engaged each day with our extensive programs. Evening walks, holiday celebrations, regular planned outings, bus trips, movie nights, bingo, board games, card nights, fitness classes, craft and sewing circles, trivia contests, a community kitchen for those that like to bake: these are just some of the activities available at Bria Communities.

Bria is a Place…

• To begin again, start a fresh life and to pursue dreams within their capacity
• For residents to build new relationships and maintain healthy communication with friends and family: they ‘get to know their neighbours’
• With a culinary kitchen with a focus on food, with meals handcrafted by our Red Seal chefs
• That enhances vitality through physical and mental activity: walks, crafts, word-related challenges, and board games.
• With access to continuing education and learning materials, and to play new games and discover new hobbies
• Where entertainment is part of the program. The elders really have a good time dancing and singing along their favourite songs.

Five Ways to Enhance Your Parents Care Experience

1. Visit  Be part of their new home life. Visit them as often as possible… it goes a long way to ensure that they are comfortably settled and happy.
2. Call  A simple ‘How was your day?’ phone call goes a long way. Have them speak to their grandchildren and other members of the family so that they feel a part of your busy life.
3. Update them on your life  Tell them about your friends, the weddings you attended, your children’s milestones and their school activities, your work stresses and bliss moments.
4. A Homemade Gift  Everyone loves to have a special moment. A hand-crafted special gift, for example, made just for them: they never forget it, and have lots to talk about with their friends.
5. Be there when they need you most  In times of trouble or sickness, being there strengthens and encourages them to get better. Check in with the Bria front desk
