Celebrating Seniors Month – Compassionate Care Lives Here
Jun 1, 2025June is Seniors Month — a time to celebrate the lives, contributions, and well-being of older adults in our communities. At St. Joseph’s Health System (SJHS), it’s also an opportunity to highlight how we provide high-quality, compassionate, and person-centred care to seniors across our integrated system of care.
This year’s provincial theme, “Fit, Active and Healthy Seniors,” aligns with our commitment to helping older adults thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally. In honour of this theme, recreation therapists, life enrichment teams, and therapy teams across all SJHS member organizations collaborated on a SJHS-wide Seniors Month campaign: Compassionate Care Lives Here.
Throughout June, we are sharing the voices of seniors — patients, residents, clients, and beyond — reflecting on the compassionate care they receive at St. Joe’s, what compassion means to them, and what advice they’d give to help others be more compassionate. Their reflections and advice showcase the deeply personal and meaningful impact of our mission-driven care across our hospitals, long-term care homes, and community care settings.
Compassionate care isn’t just a value — it’s something that lives in every action, every interaction, and every story.
This June, let’s celebrate the seniors we are honoured to serve and the compassionate care that unites us. Stay tuned throughout the month as we share photos and reflections on social media that highlight how Compassionate Care Lives Here.
