COSTI was delighted to host @OntarioHealthOH at our Calabrian Benevolent Seniors Day Program at 2115 Finch Avenue West this morning. The team saw our unique model in action, delivering culturally sensitive and language-responsive care to seniors living with early-stage #Dementia.

A decade of joy and connection!

Last week, we marked 10 incredible years of supporting seniors through the @CalabrianBAO Senior's Day Program. Clients, families and community partners joined us as we celebrated the occasion at our annual Christmas lunch.

A blessed Gaudete Sunday!

On this third Sunday of Advent, we embrace the joyful spirit of waiting as we prepare for Christ's birth at Christmas. Today, we change the liturgical color to rose as it symbolizes joy and hope with a "brightening" of the color violet.

As Pope Leo noted in his homily today, "in the Liturgical Year, it is the Sunday 'of joy', which reminds us of the bright aspect of waiting: the confidence that something beautiful, something joyful will happen."

(1/2) It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at COSTI!

Staff, volunteers, and clients at the @CalabrianBAO Seniors Day Centre came together recently to decorate the Christmas tree with sparkling ornaments and twinkling lights to ring in the holiday season.

In healthy relationships, people give each other space. However, if someone has been messaging you nonstop, asking for your location, they might be trying to exert control over you. It's also a clear sign of digital abuse. Learn more: https://t.co/Ca8t5Uh8gC

@CalabrianBAO (2/2) The Calabrian Benevolent Seniors Day Program goes far beyond simply #CaringForSeniors. Through special events like this, staff foster social interaction, uplift spirits and create a strong sense of belonging—helping clients enjoy a vibrant, #HighQualityLife. @CalabrianBAO
