Biggest Lesson Learned in OPAL
OPAL’s intergenerational living model is unique to the industry and is inspired by all-inclusive living arrangements within families in regular homes and condominiums. As a manager of the OPAL team, Thomas learned that his time caring for his 86-years-old mother is valuable and memorable. Evolving lifestyles is something we all need to think about as we embrace change in our life. Our health and care requirements can change at any time.
Being among residents with amazing life stories and experiences inspires Chris to make a difference in maintaining a healthy and safe environment. As Chris says, “the most rewarding moments are the warm smiles on residents’ faces and their positive feedback.”
