Social isolation has been hard on everyone but especially seniors who live alone. Westminster-Canterbury and Birdsong CEO Ben Unkle shares high- and low-tech tips on how to keep older adults engaged during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Westminster-Canterbury CEO Ben Unkle shares how the senior living community keeps its distance from the COVID-19 virus.

Thank you WTKR-TV3's Antoinette DelBel for helping to make "Mimi's" birthday even more special by getting it on film! Four generations -- and one on the way -- of family members joined Edna Hawkins-McLaughlin to celebrate her 101st birthday at our Outdoor Living Room. This is a place where our residents and their families can safely visit in-person.

We are proud to help make a difference in the community, where we live and work. Last year, our residents and team members donated more than 33,000 volunteer hours. This video highlights just a few of our community partnerships.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of connection and engagement are two of the top health threats for seniors, right under the Coronavirus, itself. Westminster-Canterbury has made in-person visits a priority and has found creative ways to host these events.  

Westminster-Canterbury is so proud of our partnership with Lynnhaven River NOW. We are honored to be the first Virginia Beach organization to have earned their Pearl Neighborhood and Pearl Business designations.  

During this time of COVID-19 and social distancing, an unlikely friendship was forged through Westminster-Canterbury's Seniors Celebrating Seniors program.  Mrs. Neola Waller and Alexandria Pezzano first met on video chat through the Birdsong Tablet.  Watch when they meet in person for the first time!
