This morning, we woke up and rolled out of bed, then took the tram to Omsorg Plus to help with breakfast and beautification of the facility. Omsorg is a senior apartment center that provides a blend of independent living with personalized care for the elderly.
While we were there, I had the opportunity to enjoy Norweigan waffles and chat with some of the residents about their favorite travel destinations in Europe—Berlin and Spain were highly recommended! In addition to socializing, I helped escort residents safely back to their rooms and spent time weeding and tidying up the greenery on the outdoor patio.
Our time at Omsorg contributed directly to Sustainable Development Goal #3: Good Health and Well-being, by supporting the physical environment and emotional wellness of the residents.
After our visit, we headed out for some fresh air and shopping. The sun finally broke through after a stretch of rainy days, making for a beautiful afternoon. Leah and I took full advantage of the nice weather with a stop for gelato from a street vendor—mine was a delicious mix of blueberry and vanilla.
On our way to Omsorg!
Gelato 🙂
