Recently, the team at Trillium Care Community helped Cindy Whan fulfill one of her dreams – to visit her former home in Plevna, roughly two hours away from Trillium in Kingston, ON.  ![Cindy-1](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Cindy-1.png?width=300&height=399&name=Cindy-1.png) Cindy’s parents owned a tourist resort on a lake in Plevna with beautiful sandy beaches where eventually, she and each of her siblings were allotted property. She was thrilled to be able to raise her own two children on that Lake, surrounded by cousins, aunts and uncles, and dreamed about visiting again since moving into Trillium. Cindy was very surprised and elated to learn that Sara Prest, Director of Resident Programs, and Carol-Anne Woodcock, Leisure Services Aide, arranged for her to visit for a couple of days. “It was the best thing that has happened to me in a long time,” said Cindy. Thanks Trillium team for making Cindy’s dream come true.   Topics: [Long Term Care](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/long-term-care), [Trillium](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/trillium), [Sienna Senior Living](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/sienna-senior-living), [Cultivating Happiness](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/cultivating-happiness), [Life at Sienna](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/life-at-sienna), [Innovative Programs](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/innovative-programs), [Ontario](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/ontario) [![Share on facebook](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/facebook-color.png?width=24&name=facebook-color.png)](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fourstories.siennaliving.ca%2Fsienna-senior-living-blog%2Fdare-to-dream%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://7528302.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528302/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/linkedin-color.png?width=24&name=linkedin-color.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fourstories.siennaliving.ca%2Fsienna-senior-living-blog%2Fdare-to-dream%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) ### Popular Stories [Celebrating our Compassionate Nurses](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/celebrating-compassionate-nurses) May 05, 2024 [Embracing Complexity: Tristan's Commitment to Nursing Excellence](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/embracing-complexity) May 07, 2024 [Six Voices, One Purpose: National Nursing Week (Part 1)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/national-nursing-week-2025) May 14, 2025 [Indigenous Elder honours Métis culture by sharing it with others](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/indigenous-elder-honours-metis-culture) June 20, 2023 [A Sweet Tradition](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/a-sweet-tradition) September 25, 2025 ### Popular Tags - [Cultivating Happiness (38)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/cultivating-happiness) - [Life at Sienna (35)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/life-at-sienna) - [Long Term Care (32)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/long-term-care) - [Sienna Senior Living (25)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/sienna-senior-living) - [Ontario (21)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/ontario) - [Create Community (11)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/create-community) - [Community (9)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/community) - [Aspira (8)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/aspira) - [Aspira Retirement Living (8)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/aspira-retirement-living) - [Inspiration (8)](https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/tag/inspiration) [![sienna-logo_footer](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/2203778/Sienna_2019/Images/sienna-logo_footer.svg "sienna-logo_footer")](https://www.siennaliving.ca) - [Our Locations](https://www.siennaliving.ca/our-locations) - [Retirement](https://www.siennaliving.ca/retirement) - [Long Term Care](https://www.siennaliving.ca/long-term-care) - [Announcements](https://www.siennaliving.ca/covid-19-centre) - [Join Our Team](https://careers.siennaliving.ca/) - [About Us](https://www.siennaliving.ca/about-us) - [News & Press](https://www.siennaliving.ca/press-room) - [Contact Us](https://www.siennaliving.ca/contact-us) Copyright ©2021 Sienna Senior Living - [Privacy Policy](https://www.siennaliving.ca/privacy-policy) - [Accessibility](https://www.siennaliving.ca/about-us/accessibility) - [Investors](https://www.siennaliving.ca/investors) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Nakida Kett", "url" : "https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/author/nakida-kett" }, "dateModified" : "2023-02-15T18:42:49.870Z", "datePublished" : "2022-07-18T14:09:00.000Z", "headline" : "Dare to dream", "image" : [ "https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/hubfs/Cindy-1.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/sienna-senior-living-blog/dare-to-dream", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://ourstories.siennaliving.ca/hubfs/Sienna-Logo-RGB-2.jpg" }, "name" : "Sienna Senior Living" } } ```
