Putting people first is a core value at The Brenda Strafford Foundation. We strongly believe in a person-centred approach to our care, services and environment. To further embed the importance of person-centred care through ‘The BSF Way,’ The Foundation is embarking on a number of measures to ensure our actions support our mission to provide person-centred care and services that optimize well-being and enrich lives for our residents and families.
‘Pursuit of a Lifetime’ is designed to inspire our residents to continue dreaming and pursuing their passions and goals.
Are you a resident that has dreamed of doing something that would have a positive impact on your life?... Do you know a deserving resident who would benefit from a wish fulfilled?... We invite you to apply!
Examples of resident wishes could include (but certainly not limited to):
- Fulfilling lifelong dreams (e.g. meeting the Calgary Flames or swimming with dolphins)
- Reconnecting with loved ones (e.g. reuniting with family that live overseas)
- Renewing and celebrating passions (e.g. learning an instrument or an academic goal)
- Visiting a special destination
