Ouer Persone Week & Maand – ’n Huldeblyk aan ons oumas en oupas!

Van 26 September tot 2 Oktober vier Suid-Afrika Ouer Persone Week gevier met die doel om bewustheid te skep oor die regte, waardigheid en welstand van ons ouer persone. By Tuiniqua strek ons viering deur die hele jaar, want ons glo dat elke dag ’n geleentheid is om ouer persone te eer.

Older Persons Week reminds us that older men and women enjoy the same rights as anyone else — especially the right to dignity, safety, and community-based care. At Tuiniqua, we celebrate these values not just in words, but in action.

By Tuiniqua is ons dankbaar vir Feedem, ons toegewyde verskaffer wat elke dag voedingsryke en heerlike maaltye vir ons inwoners voorberei. 🥗🍲 Hulle passie en omgee maak ’n tasbare verskil – nie net in die kos nie, maar in die gesondheid en vreugde van ons inwoners.

At Tuiniqua, we are truly grateful to Feedem, our dedicated caterer who provides nutritious and delicious meals for our residents every day. 🥗🍲Their care and commitment bring comfort and joy – not only through food but by nurturing health and wellbeing. 💜

🙏 Ons sê dankie aan elke ouer persoon wat ons gemeenskap verryk met hul teenwoordigheid.

🙏 We thank every elder who enriches our community with their presence.

💛 Kom vier saam met ons – deel ’n herinnering, bring ’n glimlag, en help ons om ’n kultuur van respek en omgee te bou.

💛 Join us in celebration – share a memory, bring a smile, and help us build a culture of respect and care.

On 1 October, International Day of Older Persons, we celebrate the people, stories and relationships that enrich our communities and we’re carrying that celebration throughout the entire month.

We believe food is about so much more than nourishment. It brings generations together, creates moments of connection and turns everyday meals into lasting memories. Around the table, stories are shared, traditions are passed on, and relationships grow.

The most nourishing thing we can offer is not just what’s on the plate, but the company around the table.

Let’s share a meal. Start a conversation. Create a memory. Nourish a relationship.

💜🌍 September – Wêreld Alzheimer-maand 🧠

Elke September herinner hierdie internasionale veldtog ons daaraan om bewustheid te verhoog en die stigma rondom Alzheimer en alle vorme van demensie uit te daag.

Die tema van 2026 is: ✨ “Hoe vroeër jy weet, hoe meer kan jy doen - ’n Demensie-diagnose maak saak." ✨

Hierdie boodskap beklemtoon die belangrikheid van ’n vroeë diagnose en die voordele wat dit vir die persoon én hul gesin bring. Demensie raak nie net die individu nie – dit beïnvloed die hele gesin, rolle, kommunikasie, verhoudings, verantwoordelikhede en emosionele welstand. 💜

Deur begrip en medelye kan gesinne en gemeenskappe sterker, meer ingelig en meer ondersteunend word.
----------------------------------------------------------------

💜🌍 September – World Alzheimer’s Month 🧠

Every September, this international campaign reminds us to raise awareness and challenge the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and all types of dementia.

The theme for 2026 is: ✨ “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do - A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.” ✨

This highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the benefits it brings — not only for the person living with dementia, but for the entire family system. Dementia affects roles, communication, relationships, responsibilities, and emotional wellbeing. 💜

By fostering understanding and compassion, we can help families and communities become stronger, more informed, and more supportive together.

🍂 SEISOENE VAN VERANDERING - Jaco de Jager

By Tuiniqua glo ons dat elke seisoen van die lewe sy eie skoonheid én uitdagings dra.

Jaco de Jager het die kragtige verhaal van sy oupa gedeel – ’n man wie se toekoms deur oorlog verpletter is, maar wat deur hoop, liefde en onwrikbare geloof oorleef het. Sy veerkragtigheid het ’n nalatenskap geword – ’n herinnering dat ons selfs in tye van groot verandering kan kies vir moed, dankbaarheid en verbondenheid.

Jaco het almal aangemoedig om hul seisoen te omhels, te fokus op wat hulle kan beheer, verbind te bly, aan te hou leer en te onthou dat hulle steeds besig is om ’n nalatenskap te vorm. Jou verhaal is nog nie klaar nie – daar is nog baie seisoene. 🌟

✨ Hoop dra ons. ✨ Liefde versterk ons. ✨ en by Tuiniqua stap ons saam deur elke seisoen. 🌿
