Second Wind Dreams is a community funded program put in place to fulfill dreams that enhance the quality of life for those living in our healthcare facilities.
By fulfilling these dreams, we hope to change the perception of aging and enrich lives with hope, joy, and compassion.
All residents currently residing in a Covenant Health- Lethbridge facility are eligible for this program. This includes St. Michael’s Health Centre, St. Therese Villa, and our Bridges/GCR program. To nominate a loved one, please pick up an application at our office or download the brochure by clicking here .
Types of Dreams:
Relationship Based: Reuniting with the special people in our lives.
Need Based: Fulfilling the simple things that can mean so much.
Life Long Dreams: Learning how to play the piano or meeting a life long hero.
Dreams for Fun: Ride on a rollercoaster or an elephant. Meet a celebrity or dance in a ballet production. Dreams that prove we never lose the “kid” in us.
Relive Past Experiences: Visit a favourite restaurant or fishing spot. Relive your highschool years or recreate a dream date.
Wake Up Sleeping Dreamers: We are committed to the belief that every elder, no matter the cognitive level, can dream. With help from family and friends, we can discover what dementia or Alzheimer’s patients once loved to do or visit places they used to enjoy.
