Nothing planned. Just a perfect afternoon with friends. ☀️

Sometimes those are the best one!

What does your ideal slow afternoon look like?

Person-centred care gets talked about a lot, and misunderstood almost as often.

Here are four myths we hear, and what the reality looks like. 👉

That's nearly three out of four people.

A barrier can be a doorway that's too narrow, a website that won't work with a screen reader, or a service that assumes everyone communicates the same way.

Most of the time, the people who don't face those barriers never notice them.

Noticing is where change starts. And a lot of barriers are easier to remove than you'd think.

Some of the best parts of the week happen out in the neighbourhood!

Being part of a community means being out in it, and there's a lot happening in ours. 💙

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at ILHS! 🍂

The big moments get a lot of attention. Today we're thinking about the small ones.

Someone saving you a seat. The friend who remembers how you take your coffee. A good laugh at the end of a long day.

Those moments happen in our homes every week, and they're a lot of what makes a place feel like home!

We're thankful for every one of them. 🧡

What's a small thing you're grateful for this year?

Our team is the reason this works.

Ask anyone on our team why they've stayed, and they rarely talk about the job itself.

They talk about the people.

Today we want to say it plainly. Thank you! This community works because you show up for it. 💙

If you work in care, what keeps you coming back?

It's been a busy stretch around here, and we have the photos to prove it! 📸

Lately there's been live music, a few birthday cakes (and a lot of singing), a day out on the water sailing, and more!

Plenty of plans came from the people who went, which is usually how the best ones start.

We'd never hand someone a support plan that wasn't built around them. So why would we do that with our team's wellness?

October is , and this year's theme, Wellness. Your Way., puts personal choice at the centre.

For some people on our team, wellness is a walk before shift.

For others, it's protecting their days off or having someone to debrief with after a hard one.

The important reminder is that habits that stick are usually the ones people choose for themselves.

💙 What's one small habit that helps you feel your best at work?

Today we pause, we listen, we remember. 🧡

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day to honour survivors of residential schools, grieve the children who never returned home, and reflect honestly on what reconciliation means in our own communities and workplaces.

We honour the survivors. We remember the children. And we recommit to doing the work reconciliation actually asks of us.

Summer went fast, but doesn't it it always? 🍂

Now we're turning the page, and fall in Victoria has its own kind of charm. 🧡

What's one thing you want to do before summer is officially over?
