Did you know that 1 October is the International Day of Older Persons? Which means a delightful excuse to tip our hats to the wisdom and spirit of all the esteemed elders in our lives.
However, with Acquaint’s signature focus on support with independence, we understand how one could accuse us of thinking every day was International Day of Older Persons.
But, believe us, we’re ready to make a proper fuss this 1 October. You deserve it.
Hold on, what is International Day of Older Persons?
The International Day of Older Persons is the United Nations’ way of giving the older people in our lives the standing ovation they deserve.
It’s a day to raise awareness about the joys and challenges of aging – while also championing policies that ensure their wellbeing and inclusion.
And it’s the least we could do, quite frankly.
Nevertheless, by honouring the wisdom of our seniors and advocating for their needs, we’re crafting a society that’s not just age-friendly but positively ageless in its compassion.
How does Acquaint advocate for older adults?
Like you have to ask.
At Acquaint, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity, independence and a dash of devilishness. That’s why our approach to aged care is all about enhancing life’s sparkle.
We do this by:
- Fostering connections and companionship through group activities and good conversation
- Keeping bodies active, minds sharp and meals healthy (ish)
- Helping clients maintain their independence with a touch of support
And for families? A sigh of relief knowing their loved ones are in safe, caring hands.
Why should we celebrate our older clients every day?
Each day, we give a nod to the marvellous seniors who inspire us daily with their strength, resilience and unshakeable spirit.
Your contributions to our community are nothing short of priceless. And we will ensure anyone who says otherwise is swiftly dealt with.
Here at Acquaint, we’re proud to walk alongside you, helping you maintain your independence and continue living life exactly as you wish.
Just like we did for Virginia Burt’s family
‘Acquaint is absolutely fabulous for all the care needs of our elderly relative. Nothing is too much trouble, from the initial contact with the management team to the carers. I would 100% recommend Acquaint as a way of caring for a loved one in the home environment.’
On 1 October or any day, we’re sure, Virginia!
