During Seniors' Week, we celebrate the vibrant individuals who are the heart of our communities. Each senior brings a unique story, personality, and wisdom that enriches our environment. We honor their authenticity and strive to create a space that cherishes their individuality and spirit.
“We do things that we would never have done at home. We wouldn't have had the motivation. And here, we just do things and have a lot of fun.” —Marilyn Gjosund, Resident at The Edward.
Thriving at home
A sense of home is crucial for well-being, especially as we age. A warm and welcoming atmosphere helps residents feel safe and comfortable at home. Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized care that respects the dignity and individuality of each senior.
“When they say they want to make it home, it feels like home!” —Marjorie Sagan, resident at Cedarwood Station
Our holistic approach to senior living focuses on physical, emotional, and social well-being. We offer comprehensive health services, delicious and nutritious meals, and a supportive community that fosters meaningful connections, bringing together PEOPLE, PLACE, and COMMUNITY.
“You can have a beautiful building, but it doesn't mean anything unless it's populated with the right people. It's just a beautiful space. But when you have a beautiful space with the right people, it comes to life in a way that brings people, place, and community together.” —Farid Damji, Co-Founder, Optima Living
The importance of our most fulfilling decades
Senior years can be some of our most productive and fulfilling decades. With a wealth of experience, knowledge, and wisdom, seniors have much to offer. Whether it’s through volunteering, pursuing new hobbies, or simply sharing their stories, seniors continue to contribute significantly to society.
“There's so much to do! When I go back to my room, I think,’ oh, I'm missing something, I better get out there and see what's going on’.” —Doreen Hober, resident at The Edward
We understand the importance of these years and strive to provide an environment where our residents can continue to thrive. Activities involving programs and activities stimulate the mind and body, ensuring seniors live life to the fullest.
Freedom to be you
Freedom is a fundamental value at Optima Living. We encourage our residents to express themselves, pursue their interests, and remain independent. Our community is built on respect, allowing each individual to live their life on their own terms.
