Sharing Their Wisdom

Recognizing the depth of wisdom within the community, Parkstone Enhanced Care, Halifax, N.S., introduced a “Question of the Month” initiative to highlight and share residents’ lived experiences. Each month, they ask residents for tips on topics such as saving money, managing stress, or staying healthy. Responses will be collected through stations, during programs, and in one-on-one conversations. At the end of the month, they will display the questions and answers in a common area for everyone to read. This approach provides an opportunity for residents to share their life experiences and advice to benefit others.
