Quotes
Before my father retired, he used to work as a radio operator on board an oil tanker and a security guard for 14 years. I wanted him to remain socially active even after his retirement. I found out about Care Corner Seniors Services and enrolled him in the Social Day Care (SDC) for the elderly. My father enjoys going to the day care centre and cycles there every day. He actively participates in exercise sessions, craft activities, photography lessons and games with the other seniors. He tells me that he’s always learning new things and making new friends at the centre. He also likes the staff there because they provide exceptional service.
