As part of its Dream Weaver program, Thrive at Green Island is working to make seniors’ wishes come true. For its latest bucket list wish fulfillment, the senior living community took to the skies with hot air balloon rides for its community members. The tethered ride took their most adventurous residents 30 feet up into the air in a 70-foot-tall balloon called KALOS.
The Dream Weaver program was created to aid residents in re-igniting their love for their lifelong passions, as well as give them the ability to have brand new experiences and find new purpose. This Dream Weaver wish was shared with the Thrive team by senior resident, Thelma Bray, who has always dreamed of riding in a hot air balloon. By giving her the space to dream big, the Thrive team opened the door to a thrilling experience that they offered to many of their other residents as well.
