At Geriacare Nursing Home, we do more than provide care—we create a sense of family. From morning greetings to evening wind-downs, every day is filled with comfort, connection, and purpose. Whether it’s a friendly game of bingo, a shared meal, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in the garden, our residents are surrounded by warmth, respect, and meaningful companionship.
Come take a look inside a typical day at Geriacare—and see what makes our home so special.
Morning: Gentle Starts & Personal Care
Our mornings begin with soft light, friendly smiles, and a sense of calm. Residents are greeted by caregivers who assist with personal routines—whether it’s getting dressed, brushing hair, or enjoying a cup of tea while reading the newspaper.
Our care team takes time to check in with each resident, ensuring comfort, medication, and support are provided with kindness and patience.
“They always make me feel like I matter—not just cared for, but cared about.” – Geriacare Resident
Breakfast & Social Time
Breakfast is served in our cozy dining rooms, where residents enjoy fresh fruit, hot coffee, eggs, oatmeal, or their favorite morning meal. Tables are set with care, and conversations flow easily among friends.
Those who prefer breakfast in their rooms receive attentive, in-room dining service. Mealtimes are never rushed—they’re a chance to nourish both the body and the soul.
Mid-Morning: Activities & Engagement
Late morning is when the energy picks up! Our residents participate in a range of activities tailored to their interests and abilities, including:
- Group exercises or chair yoga
- Creative arts & crafts
- Trivia games, puzzles, or music therapy
- Gardening in our outdoor courtyard
- Visits from therapy animals or local musicians
Every activity is optional—residents are encouraged to join in at their own pace and comfort.
Lunch: Nourishing and Delicious
Lunch is another delicious, chef-prepared meal—often featuring home-style favorites or seasonal dishes. Our nutrition team ensures every plate is balanced, flavorful, and customized to meet dietary needs.
Residents dine together in small groups, which helps foster a strong sense of community. This is also a time for families to visit, share stories, or even join for lunch.
Afternoon: Rest, Reflection & Connection
After lunch, many residents take time to relax in their rooms, enjoy a nap, or chat with neighbors. Some may have one-on-one wellness check-ins, rehabilitation sessions, or quiet time in our reading lounge or chapel.
For others, this is when families stop by for a chat, or when staff members host a one-on-one reminiscing session with photo albums and stories.
Evening: Entertainment & Wind-Down
Evenings at Geriacare are peaceful and relaxed. Residents may enjoy:
- A movie night with popcorn
- A game of cards or bingo
- Live music or sing-alongs
- Evening tea and light snacks
Staff assist with bedtime routines in a way that feels respectful and comforting. Soft music, dim lights, and friendly faces help residents end their day feeling secure and cared for.
What Truly Makes Geriacare Feel Like Home?
It’s the relationships. The laughter in the hallways. The staff who know each resident’s favorite snack or how they take their coffee. The moments of shared joy, support, and understanding.
We’re not just caregivers—we’re family. And at Geriacare, everyone belongs.
