It has been widely reported that the growth of the senior population in Canada is one of the most signi cant demographic trends in our country’s history. It has been estimated that at the end of 2023 there will be approximately 7.5 million people in Canada who will be between the ages of 65 and older. This growing demographic poses an amazing opportunity for companies such as Avenir Senior Living, a family-owned and operated company from Brentwood Bay, BC who specialize in serving seniors each day in their communities.
For today’s senior, many will consider making a major lifestyle shift from their traditional living environment and consider a move into a senior living community. While on this journey, they will tour many communities to determine what is the best t for them. A recent study of 500 seniors conducted by the E15 Group found that 94% of seniors will look at the quality of food while making their decisions. Additionally, 77% of seniors studied stated that menu variety was important and 66% said that staff friendliness was top of mind.
That is why at The Vista, the newly opened community opened by Avenir, there was an emphasis on designing and creating unique amenity spaces that would exceed their residents’ expectations and offer a wonderful working environment for the staff.
The most unique feature of The Vista is the 11th oor which features the Palm Dining Room, Fred & Ginger's dance hall,
English High Tea room, French Bistro, Polo Lounge, Art Studio, Gym, and outdoor patios. All these resident areas are surrounded by oor to ceiling windows offering breath taking ocean and city views which is what inspired the name
The Vista.
“From the dining room our residents can watch the cruise ships and other sea vessels come and go on any given day” says Maria Eligon General Manager.
“When speaking to our residents, many tell me that they have never seen another dining room like this at any other community they toured before choosing us” continues Eligon.
With Avenir’s long history in the senior living industry, the data from the E15 study was not surprising to them. Quality of food, menu variety and staff friendliness have been paramount to Avenir over the years.
“I have been a chef since 1988” says Fred Bjarnason – Director of The Vista Hospitality & Food Services “and I love serving our residents foods that they enjoy and that bring back memories for them”. “One of my passions is to incorporate our resident’s family recipes into our menu” continues Bjarnason “this makes our resident feel a part of the dining experience and we then name that item after them or their family, it makes it really fun for everyone”. Chef Fred holds the culinary designation of the Canadian Chef de Cuisine (C.C.C.) which is highest designation for chefs in Canada.
The Vista truly is a senior living community that you must see to believe. Tours are offered seven days a week and independent living rental suites are still available. Call today to schedule your tour at 778-247-0780 or visit our website LiveatVista.ca

appiness is a major life goal for many, and it's no surprise that our ability to hear plays a signi cant role in our overall happiness. Untreated hearing loss can have a profound impact on our emotional state and quality of life. Fortunately, the use of well t hearing aids can help turn this around and improve our overall sense of well-being.
Beyond easing everyday communication, hearing aids enable individuals to fully enjoy the sounds of life. Whether it's listening to music, hearing the laughter of loved ones, or experiencing the sounds of nature, hearing aids can restore the richness and depth of sound that may have been lost due to hearing loss. Being able to fully engage with the auditory world can bring immense joy and enhance one's overall happiness.
Research has shown a positive correlation between hearing aids
and mental well-being. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to cognitive decline and an increased risk of depression. By addressing hearing loss with hearing aids, individuals can potentially reduce the risk of cognitive impairment and retain their mental health. Improved cognitive function and a reduced risk of depression signi cantly contribute to overall happiness and well-being. Wearing hearing aids can have a positive impact on occupational success and job satisfaction. Communication is essential in the workplace, and individuals with untreated hearing loss may face challenges in understanding instructions, participating in meetings, or engaging with colleagues. By using hearing aids, individuals can effectively communicate in professional settings, perform their job tasks more ef ciently, and experience greater job satisfaction, which
ultimately contributes to happiness.
Hearing aids play a crucial role in promoting happiness and enhancing overall well-being. By improving communication, fostering social connections, restoring the joys of sound, and positively impacting mental health and occupational success, hearing aids empower individuals to lead happier, more ful lling lives. If you or someone you know is experiencing hearing loss, getting a hearing evaluation can be a signi cant step towards reclaiming happiness and improving quality of life.

Q: My teeth have always been important to me, but I haven’t had good luck with them. I’ve lost all my upper molars. In the past several years, I’ve resolved I’m going to have a good set of teeth. I’m going to keep everything I’ve got and get implants for the rest. My problem is that I don’t know if it’s as straight forward as that. Last month I saw a dentist and he said the teeth in front of where my molars were are starting to get loose. That’s what happened to my molars. They’d start to ache, then I’d get root canals and crowns, then all of a sudden it seemed like they’d get loose, and they’d have to come out. So now my worry is that I’ll get implants and then they’ll get loose. Am I missing something? I want a great smile. I’m prepared to pay for it but I’m really worried that I’ll be throwing good money after bad. How can I be certain, I mean, I know it’s hard to give guarantees but how can I move forward with a reasonable expectation that my teeth, once they’re xed, are going to last? My dentists over the years, have said that I have normal bone. They have all said I grind my teeth but they didn’t think it was that bad. I really want to go forward but I do have concerns.
A: When bone is lost around teeth – the adult dentition – the four major causative factors are; genetics, one is predisposed to bone loss; plaque and calculus producing in ammation that is not removed; smoking; and nally clenching/grinding due to stress, bad bite, or extraordinary chewing of one’s food. Grinding one’s teeth
happens at one or more of the following times; nighttime (nocturnal bruxing), daytime, or when eating. Functional grinding means that one chews through his/her food to his/ her teeth and then grinds tooth to tooth. Most people don’t do this but those who do can cause tremendous damage to their teeth.
In light of this, before you start, it will be necessary to nd out which of these factors are causing your problems. This can happen in the same time frame that the dentist is evaluating your functional bite. Humans have two sets of teeth,
the front six from eyetooth to eyetooth, on top and on the bottom. It is vital that the front teeth take on the cutting forces
of your chewing and grinding strokes. They will have to be restored to do this. The posterior (rear) teeth can then
be made to take care of your chewing requirements. After that is done, it will still be necessary to wear a protective bite splint or orthotic system that will prevent excessive force on your new teeth during the times you inadvertently grind your teeth.

Many geriatric researchers presenting at safety conferences agree that education, not testing, is the answer to seniors driving longer and safer.
Prior to intervention by family, government, medical personnel or police, seniors should take charge of their driving situation.
It is best to prepare for an impending driver assessment well ahead of time. It will relieve the stress of the unknown and the arrival of the dreaded letter. Seniors should be proactive, not reactive, when it comes to all sorts of things, particularly as it pertains to driving.
Many people believe seniors have a higher-than-normal crash frequency.
This is not true.
They do have a much higher chance of injury in a crash because of the frailty brought on by
advanced age, particularly those over 75 years of age.
Two presenters at a Driving School Association of the Americas conference made a very strong case that senior-driver harassment by governing bodies exists throughout North America.
The most common crashes listed in order of frequency and cause of injury are:
• The left turn at intersections, crossing multiple oncoming lanes of traf c, causes injury for all drivers. This type of crash is often due to declining depth perception in seniors and lack of experience in teens.
• The fact that oncoming vehicle drivers could change to the outside through-lane at an intersection, without warning, and be hidden behind the inside lane of two lanes approaching, was also a factor.
For both seniors with slower reaction times and teens lack of experience, lack of scanning contributes to this crash.
• Rear end crashes are very common. This is caused by all drivers not understanding time and distance for stopping. Understanding the consequences of tailgating is a lesson to be learned by all.
Again, seniors are more likely to experience more injury than a teen.
Joan Wallace Driving School offers a free seminar for seniors at 2 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month.

As we ag e and begin to lose our mobility and sense of balance, bathing can not only become difficult but also a cause of additional stress and anxiety

When I was young, I remember reading the poem Footprints by Margaret Powers, which is still one of my favourite pieces of writing today. It impacted me greatly, particularly the part where the individual sees only one set of footprints in the sand. When you continue reading, we nd out they haven’t been abandoned, but rather had been carried during the lowest and most hopeless times in their life.
This poem reminds me of the human connection we have for one another. To know that someone cares so deeply for you, they would bear some of the weight when

they are needed most. That’s special. It only seems tting, and in our nature, to want to provide that time-honoured tradition of carrying our dearly departed loved ones to their nal resting place.
Being asked to be a pallbearer for a family member or close friend who has died can be a very emotional yet meaningful experience. Being chosen is a clear sign that you are a trusted and valued individual who has played a signi cant role in the person’s life to be given this responsibility. You want to make sure it is done with the dignity and respect it requires. Possibly, you have participated as a pallbearer before or perhaps it is your rst time …maybe even your rst funeral. Rest assured, there will be a team of funeral professionals on-site to guide you and lead you in the process.
Including pallbearers in a service is a time-honoured tradition that should be considered even if a cremation is chosen as the nal disposition. We also see individuals chosen to carry the urn for a service, on its own or with 2 to 4 urn bearers using an urn arch. This is a beautiful way to enter and exit the chapel and the cemetery with an urn.
There are no rules to who can perform the respectful duty. Even if someone is unable to carry to the casket or urn physically, perhaps due to a disability or being of a young or old age - they can still participate by walking beside the casket or urn as an honourary pallbearer. As our family members age, we are often faced with less family and friends available and it’s a good idea to have the conversation about who you would call upon, when the time comes, for you and your
family members. It is also okay for you to let important people in your life know, it would be something you would be available and honoured to do.
It is so impactful to watch a casket being carried. The weight that is being taken on is more than just the individual themself - it is also the love, the loss, the honour, the memories, and the realization of this being the nal journey, that will be taken together.
When we are at our most vulnerable and no longer have the ability to carry ourselves, what an amazing gift and duty we perform for our loved ones, ensuring they are carefully transported on that nal journey, by those who loved them most. Many times, it is those who once carried us as children, that we may one day be called upon to carry ourselves, and our two sets of footprints, will again become one.
“One minute you are young and cool and the next minute you are turning down the stereo in your car to see better.” A series of things have happened in the last while that made this resonate with me. It got me thinking, (dangerous, I know) how can we stay connected to the good parts of being young while embracing our age. At Silver Threads, I am surrounded by experts, people I admire for their spirit, enthusiasm and smarts, so I asked the question “What keeps you feeling young?”
“Well, it’s not my knees, but I can predict when it is going to rain.”
Another woman, said she used to love going to clubs and dancing, and gets the same joy by attending Zumba classes. The music is great, and the class is energetic and fun. “It’s kind of like going to a club but in the afternoon, and yes, there might be a nap after.”
A fellow who comes to Fitness classes says when he was younger, he never really worked out or focused on regular exercise, “my work was physical, so I kept my figure” he said with a laugh. “Now that I am retired, I need to make time to stay active, I feel better because of it and my wife appreciates that I can get out of a chair without groaning.”
Grandkids were mentioned by a few folks, there is nothing like doing crafts, taking turns on a swing, and playing with children. “I’m better at playing at this stage of my life then when I was a parent. I love being the fun Grammy.”
One of our volunteers states “I have a couple of old friends with a lot of shared history, we retell the same stories and laugh at the things we did and that happened in our lives. I also have some new friends that I met here at Silver Threads, we share the same wicked senses of humour, there is nothing like laughing till you cry moments with friends. Make me forget my worries and live in the moment.”
Many of the things’ people say keep them young can be found at Silver Threads. Our Summer Guide is available at our Centres and online www.silverthreads.ca
There are great classes, socials, presentations, out trips and Monthly Socials. Join us, it will be good for some laughs.
