Starting a conversation about senior living can be tough for everyone involved. It’s tempting to put the conversation off. Maybe you’re worried about upsetting them or not sure what to say. These conversations often bring up big feelings: fear of change, guilt, uncertainty, or even resistance. However, having the conversation early and approaching it with care can make all the difference.

In the latest episode of Optima Living TV, we explore how to approach this conversation with care and compassion. Visit our YouTube channel to watch the episode and access our free Conversation Guide.

What Seniors Need to Know About Hydration and Nutrition

As we age, taking care of our health becomes less about restriction and more about refinement. The question is no longer just “Am I eating right?”—but rather, “Am I truly nourishing myself for vitality, joy, and longevity?” At The Edward, hydration and nutrition are not mere checkboxes on a wellness list—they are part of the lifestyle. Our approach is rooted in hospitality, respect, and the belief that every meal, every cup of tea, every gathering around the table is a chance to feel more alive, more connected, and more yourself.

Visit our library to learn more about what optimal hydration and nutrition really mean for seniors. 

We recently transformed our space into an inspiring art gallery, complete with live harp music. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to spend a lovely afternoon appreciating the stunning artworks. It was a beautiful reminder of how creativity can bring us together.
