Dilbeek Remarkable initiative in sheltered housing Quietas. At January 7, wants the nursing home 2019 wenskaartjes receive. The tickets are then delivered to the residents. If it succeeds, treat director Marc Derveaux seniors on a exclusive occur.
WZC Quietas a striking nieuwjaarsuitdaging. The coming weeks will the nursing home 2019 wenskaartjes receive. “A logical number, because we the year 2019 bets”, says the initiator, Chantale Deweerdt of WZC Quietas. “Two months ago, I saw mind-blowing statistics are popping up. Less than 15 percent of the inhabitants of the Flemish residential care centres will never get a visit from family or friends. Distressing that. Also with us, we see people who have only the holidays to go in. As a care home we will do our best to make them at the party to involve. Our chef flanst a feast in each other, and the zorgkundigen ensure the christmas spirit.”
Fata Morgana
But WZC Quietas throws this year about a different bow. Director Marc Derveaux feel as in the former TELEVISION program Fata Morgana, and gave a command to his staff and seniors. 7 January, the nursing home 2019 wenskaartjes have received,” says Derveaux. “Who the tickets should send? Supporters, friends, family, associations, … Everyone who feels called, should the pen in the hand and a card to us.”
In the sheltered stay 124 seniors. At the end of the ride will be every resident so about 16 cards received. “What’s up, is of no importance. Wish our seniors a nice Christmas and a healthy new year. It seems like a small gesture, but for our people it makes a world of difference. Then they will know that they are not alone. Some residents have no family or friends more. You hear them than nostalgic stories to tell about the holidays. They know that it is never going to come back, then it would be nice to give them a loving message to deliver.”
