For this episode I interview Joyce Kelterborn, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Joyce is another senior who moved into the residence during the pandemic - after a stretch of time in the hospital, she faced a health reality that didn't leave remaining at home an option. Joyce shares how hard it is to move into one of these facilities when it isn’t your own choice. Her attitude towards adjusting to retirement living is a philosophy that can be handy to consider during this time of a pandemic as well - "It’s not what you had, it’s not maybe what you want, but it’s what you have to put up with in order to survive." She’s starting to integrate and feel more comfortable, and the supportive staff are a huge help. She has found a couple of ladies who, like her, like to knit and crochet, and that's helping too. She can't wait to see the beautiful surrounding neighbourhood when she allowed to go outside and explore. Today she shares stories about her family, spread far and wide, and shows off her incredible memory. Thank you Joyce for sharing your story!
