Thank you to all donors who answered the \u201cTech Tub Reboot\u201d call for action.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You inspire us and we thank you very much for assisting our organization to help seniors.\u00a0 \u201cInspire Action\u201d raised over $200,000, exceeding our $100,000 goal.\u00a0Yes, you helped exceed the goal!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your donation is at work now and will be put to work for our 2022 programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • TUB \u2013 <\/strong>The Arjo Parker Series tub is now on order and expected to arrive in October.\u00a0 The renovation in the spa room begins September.\u00a0 Once it is completed, the residents will enjoy the experience of a warm soak while the staff can feel assured with all the safety features.\u00a0<\/li>
  • TECH \u2013 <\/strong>Nikkei Seniors is putting the \u2018tech project\u2019 to test.\u00a0 We recently upgraded our Internet WIFI connections;\u00a0 and purchased eight Echo devices for the residents\u2019suites and to-go pocket WIFI-hot spots as needed.\u00a0 The Outreach Coordinator is now running programs \u2013 brain exercise, physical exercise, eating and chatting together, creating a link for a doctor to call in, and initiating a new kind of in-suite family visit.\u00a0 Once tested and the kinks resolved, we will offer more devices to residents.\u00a0 The long term goal is to start making this available to the seniors living at home.\u00a0 Our goal is to support \u201cBetter at Home.\u201d<\/li>
  • REBOOT \u2013 <\/strong>Iki Iki\/Lively Lively (dementia friendly) and Kui Do Raku (Eat, Chat, Relax) have not started onsite (due to health restrictions) but they are in the rebooted and testing phase for an immediate start as soon as we get the \u2018ok\u2019 from the Fraser Health Authority.\u00a0 Part-time staff have been hired in the development, implementation, and sustainability of the reboot. These staff take the place of the volunteers who have not been permitted to work due to COVID restrictions.\u00a0 Volunteers have been a vital part of our programs and, as restrictions lift, our hope is for their return.\u00a0 In the meantime, the coordinators are maintaining contact with volunteers and seniors.\u00a0 This re-opening is what we have all been waiting for.\u00a0 For the seniors, new activities in familiar surroundings.\u00a0 \u201cLet\u2019s Go!\u201d is our motto.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
