BRIA COMMUNITIES Life changed signiďŹcantly at The Waterford and The Wexford this spring, but amid the pandemic, a spirit of creativity and positivity has flourished.
With most residents self-isolating in their suites, recreation staďŹ started going door to door with afternoon ice cream delivery and bar service. Hallway bingo and exercise classes replaced group classes. Balcony Boogie at The Waterford and bagpipes in the courtyard at The Wexford drew residents and neighbours to their sun decks. Peg Buchanan shares words of wisdom from her home at The Wexford. âOur staďŹ made a quick pivot in mid-March,â says Matthew Jackson, General Manager at The Waterford. âWe were in uncharted territory, but our teams adjusted quickly and came up with creative solutions to keep residents safe, healthy, and still connected.â
IN THE COMMUNITY For decades, Century Group has supported the Delta Hospital Foundation, and during the last 12 years their annual golf tournament. For the past 6 years, as Presenting Sponsor of the âCentury Group Delta Health Classic,â Century Group contributed $25,000 annually and provided over 25 staďŹ volunteers to make this tournament a success. This year, due to provincial restrictions on large gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic,
South Delta has been very supportive of seniors and staďŹ. âSo many people have reached out with gifts and words of encouragement. Weâve received chocolates, vitamins, ice cream, PPE, and lots of encouraging letters and emails,â notes Jane Bryce, who took over as General Manager of The Wexford on March 1. âItâs kept morale high.â
Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation have decided to take their 22-year old golf tournament and make it golďŹess. Century Group remains the Title Sponsor of the âCentury Group Delta Health GolďŹess Classicâ which will take place online from Thursday, September 10, 2020, to Friday, September 18, 2020. Contributions raised through this online auction, 50/50 lottery, contests, and charitable donations will raise funds for a new echo ultrasound, a much needed service and piece of equipment for Delta Hospital.
Jackson notes that everyone is looking forward to returning to normal life. Still, there have been bright spots in the past months, âWeâre always thinking about the safety and support of seniors, itâs been amazing to see our community prioritize that too.â The Waterford and The Wexford oďŹer safe and supportive housing options for seniors.
