Bucket Lists, Family Trees and Moving to Glendale Crossing with Ivan Siriani
Episode #44 - A lot of road to cover with 92-year-old, Ivan Siriani, from his love of travel and bucket list plans, family trees, and a chaplain chat that brought some peace to his heart. Ivan is joined on the #ElderWisdom bench for a conversation with hosts Erin Davis & Doug Robinson. What is on your bucket list? ”My bucket list included a train trip across Canada, Toronto to Vancouver. I went with my son and it was the most wonderful holiday I’ve ever had.” - Doug Robinson Ivan’s bucket list includes a trip to Newfoundland with his daughter. She has always wanted to see icebergs. He also would like to go to visit relatives in British Columbia and Calgary. Before Ivan’s wife moved into long-term care, they enjoyed drives all over in the States and Canada, including a lot of the east coast. Not a resident yet, but when the new Retirement phase opens at The Village of Glendale Crossing in 2023, Ivan will move in. He has his suite picked out, a two bedroom complex. Family has done cut outs of furniture and created the full layout. Wife Marjorie lives in long-term care at Glendale Crossing. Ivan looks forward to being in the same building and being able to see her more often. ”Everybody’s journey with dementia is so different and we’ve had the honour of people sharing their stories with us.” - Erin Davis Learn more about The Village of Glendale Crossing and it’s opening in 2023 contact Carole Metron at 519-668-5600 or visit schlegelvillages.com/glendale-crossing-london Subscribe, rate, and review our podcast on any network and share your thoughts on social media using the #ElderWisdom tag to help others find us.
