Overview
COE Health is Celebrating Interntaional Day for the Older Person Oct 1st-Oct 31st.
The COE Health, NBANH & Shannex are celebrating International Day for the Older Person with NB Long-Term Care (LTC) facility tours/visits, and an opportunity to learn about the various employment opportunities at LTC Homes.
International Day for the Older Person (Seniors Day), held each year on October 1st, is a time to recognize the wisdom, contributions, and value of seniors in our communities.
In long-term care (LTC) homes, this day reminds us to celebrate residents for the lives they’ve built and the legacies they share, while also recognizing the incredible dedication of LTC employees who provide care, comfort, and dignity every day.
Together, residents and staff embody the strength, compassion, and resilience that enrich our society.
Intergenerational (IG) is defined as – Interactions where multiple generations of people come together. Participation in Intergenerational programs and opportunities will foster life skills, such as community engagement and civic duty, as well as workplace essential skills. The primary goal of intergenerational activities and opportunities is to expose students to the nursing home environment and to senior care; a field that has numerous career opportunities. Experiencing the nursing home environment and engaging with residents is an extremely valuable learning tool for youth and will help expose NB students to potential career paths in the province.
