Autumn Joy: a home where elderly bloom in their old age

Minas, Camaguey, Apr 15^th. - The Autumn Joy nursing house, located in the town of Senado in the municipality of Minas, has become a reference in the care and well-being of the elderly, at a time when the population is ageing and the needs of specialized care are becoming more evident.

Yordan Oliva Sánchez, administrator of the institution, stressed that this collective is distinguished by its integral approach in the care of the elderly. Not only does it provide a safe environment, but it also provides a variety of recreational activities that foster socialization and emotional well-being of the 21 older adults living there.

He added that highly trained and committed staff creates a warm and welcoming environment where each of the elderly is treated with the respect they deserve.

In addition to basic care, they promote activities that stimulate both the mind and the body. Handcraft workshops, adapted physical exercises and cultural activities are just some of the initiatives that are implemented. These activities are essential to maintaining the physical health of residents and to combating the loneliness and isolation that older adults often face.

The Autumn Joy nursing house is presented as a role model in the geriatric field, offering a human approach to the elderly. For many of them this place represents a refuge of tranquillity and familiarity, where they can enjoy a dignified and full life. (Text and photo: Mayara Pérez Benítez/La Voz del Bayatabo Minas)
