How often do you express gratitude in your everyday life? And how much meaning do these significant moments of thankfulness have on our lives?
According to experts, practicing gratitude evokes a myriad of benefits for our emotional, mental, and physical health, including boosting immunity, improving sleep, increasing optimism, and strengthening social relationships.
Seasons Retirement Communities’ vision is ‘CONNECT CARE CHANGE®.’ When they take the time to genuinely connect with those around them and show that they care, they can effect positive change in their lives. These values are at the core of their service commitment to their residents and team members.
Seasons appreciates their dedicated team members who make a difference in the lives of their residents daily. In addition to feeling supported and valued by the company, these efforts are seen in action when positive cards, emails, or letters affectionately called “Love Notes” are received from residents and their loved ones.
In celebration of Valentine’s Day on February 14, here is a selection of some heart-warming sentiments shared with Seasons:
“On behalf of our Mom and all her family, we want to acknowledge our deep appreciation to all staff. So many people showed their professionalism and care during her transition to Seasons. You made her feel welcome, gave her warmth, and, most importantly, showed her dignity and grace. We are forever grateful.” -Seasons Family Member
“I just want you all to know that I appreciate all you do, and I’m grateful that all of you are here. You make our lives better through various activities and kind, caring gestures.” -Seasons Resident
“I am so glad I saw my sister’s new home today. I was impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness of the residence, and the beauty of her suite. I can now rest easy knowing she is happy, healthy, and, most of all, safe. Thank you all!” -Seasons Family Member
“What a lovely Mother’s Day Tea. You really went all out and did such a super job of everything. You are so well-organized, thoughtful, and patient. A perfect fit for the job!” -Seasons Resident
“Thank you for hosting such a wonderful lunch for your Memory Care residents and their family members. Everyone enjoyed it immensely! Kudos to the chef and their team, too. All of Seasons’ efforts to add fun and activities to the residents’ lives are really appreciated. Keep up the great work!” -Seasons Family Member
“Over a decade ago, I rented a respite room at Seasons for 5 ½ weeks. I always remembered that first impression, witnessing sincerity, patience, and compassion non-stop. Now, I have lived here for several years! I knew I’d be happy moving in, but I didn’t know I’d be entertained, too! I really appreciate our energetic ‘Fun’ team for keeping us, the residents, amused, happy, and out of trouble! I know for sure that I’m living my best senior years now! Thank you, Seasons!” -Seasons Resident
“A special thank you again for all the special care and love shown to Mom over the years. The staff’s attentiveness to her needs was exceptional and truly a blessing for Mom. Thank you, Seasons. We will always treasure the time, the memories, and the friendships built at this beautiful retirement home.” -Seasons Family Member
Below is a beautiful poem penned by Seasons Cambridge resident Joan titled “The Next Chapter”:
It’s a short way to Seasons Retirement,
It’s a short way to go.
Activities to keep you busy,
And friends to say “hello.”
No more cooking dinners,
Or dishes to wash.
So come and look us over,
I’m sure you’ll be impressed.
It really is retirement,
At its very best.
