Today we hosted our Leadership Forum. This semi-annual event brings together all the leaders from across Carefor for a day of planning, education, communication and teamwork. Today we looked back on successes from the past 3 years, as well as upcoming priorities and opportunities - while also taking some time to laugh and play together.

Last week we hosted our staff and volunteer appreciation event to celebrate the amazing people who make up Carefor.

We are so grateful to our team for their skill, compassion and commitment to making the lives of their clients and their families better.

We celebrated staff who have been with Carefor for 5, 10, 15, 20 and even 25 years, as well as volunteers and some returning retirees.

Today is Elder Abuse Awareness Day. A day we wish we didn't need but unfortunately across Canada 1 in 10 seniors experience some form of abuse, and those are just the reports that are known of.

Today, consider a senior in your life. Check up on them. Make sure they're doing okay. And take time to become aware of the signs of elder abuse.

If you suspect someone you know is experiencing elder abuse, contact Carefor Elder Abuse Prevention Program: https://carefor.ca/programs/elder-abuse-prevention-program/

June is National Seniors' Month. Since 1897 Carefor has supported local seniors through their health and wellness journey.

As a not-for-profit charity, we are part of your community, helping seniors in need live with choice and dignity.

Donor support pays for staff training, equipment, building repairs and more - which allows us to ensure seniors can access the services they need, such as in-home nursing, personal support and rehabilitation, as well as programs for people living with dementia.

Please help a senior feel seen and supported. Donate this Seniors' Month at https://carefor.ca/donate-ottawa/

We are so lucky! We get to work with seniors.

All the fun, kindness, wisdom, caring, stories and more they bring into our lives - it is a privilege to spend our days with them.

To all the seniors who make our community better, Happy Seniors Month.
