A classical piano performance came to Delmanor Northtown as Shaya Petroff displayed her musical talent for the Northtown residents & staff.

The beautiful Northtown lounge was the perfect setting for this lovely evening of classical piano music, equipped with its very own baby grand piano.  Everyone that had the pleasure of attending this wonderful performance had nothing but fantastic reviews and compliments for Shaya's talent.

Happiness and cheer filled Delmanor Glen Abbey as friends and family came together to celebrate the wonderful occasion of Mr. Smale's 100th Birthday! 

Mr. Smale with his family

Mr. Smale's daughter Dianne assisted the staff of Delmanor Glen Abbey to host this very special evening for her father.  Guests enjoyed a selection of wine and cheese prior to being treated to a mouth watering 5 star buffet dinner, prepared by the superb culinary talents of the Delmanor Glen Abbey Team.

Mr. Smale, overwhelmed with joy and with tears in his eyes, thanked his family, friends and Delmanor Glen Abbey for making this day so memorable for him.  "I may even stick around and try this again next year", he smirked, as the room broke out in laughter!  It was an exceptionally special celebration for a remarkable gentleman!

Delmanor Glen Abbey held a Welcome Wine & Cheese Party to honour those who have recently moved into their new homes.

Live entertainment was provided by Jerry & John, a Glen Abbey favourite, that featured classics from legends such as  'Elvis Presley, Glen Miller, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra'.  With a play list like this, everyone was snapping their fingers and tapping their toes!

A big thank-you went out to Glen Abbey's 'Resident Dance Instructor' Bob, who strutted his stuff and highlighted some of his signature moves throughout the afternoon.  Bob partnered up with Dining Room Manager Leila, Vice President Marketing & Operations, Elaine, and Recreation Assistant, Kris for some wonderful demonstrations on the dance floor!

Steps to LivingWell

Shield yourself from the Aging effects of the sun. By some estimates, sun exposure accounts for nearly 90 percent of age related damage to often-exposed areas such as the face, the back of the neck and the back of the hands.  Ultraviolet (UVA) rays are responsible for long-term photo aging, while UVB’s are behind sunburns.  Both types damage healthy skin cells and make it harder for skin to heal, and both play a role in skin cancer.  It can also make your skin thicker in some areas and thinner in others, affecting skin tone and texture.

Slathering on sunscreen is a smart strategy for both preventing and undoing sun damage.  Using sunscreen everyday allows sun damaged skin time to heal. To get the most benefit from sunscreen, apply a broad spectrum formula of at least SPF 30 half hour before going outdoors – even on cloudy days.  Reapply every two hours, especially if you’re sweating, wet, or have dried or rubbed your skin with a towel.  Wear a hat and avoid being out in the sun at peak times.

Since no sunscreen can block all UV rays, some radiation does get through to skin.  Look for products with sun protection and antioxidants in one bottle.  Check the expiration date: Sunscreen usually lasts three years, but toss it sooner if it has separated or has an off smell.

The truth is that it is never too late for sun protection.  Keeping your skin healthy can help you enjoy your senior years to the fullest.
