Celebrating the 2025 International Day of Older Persons: Honouring Aspirations, Well-Being, and Rights.
October 1st, 2025, marks the International Day of Older Persons, and this year’s theme is “Older Persons Driving Local and Global Action: Our Aspirations, Our Well-Being, Our Rights” which resonates deeply with our mission and values.
At TriCare, we believe older persons are not just recipients of care, they are leaders, advocates, and changemakers. Whether it’s within our residential aged care communities or our vibrant retirement living villages, we see every day how older individuals shape their environments, inspire others, and contribute meaningfully to society.
A Theme That Reflects Our Reality
This year’s theme, highlights the transformative role older persons play in driving action both locally and globally. It’s a powerful reminder that aging is not a decline, but a dynamic phase of life filled with purpose, wisdom, and influence.
Our Residents: Voices of Change
Across our communities, older persons are:
- Sharing their aspirations – from pursuing lifelong passions to mentoring younger generations.
- Advocating for their well-being – engaging in wellness programs, social initiatives, and community planning.
- Championing their rights – calling for dignity, inclusion, and respect in every aspect of life.
We are proud to support these efforts by creating spaces where older persons feel empowered, heard, and valued.
How We Celebrate Every Day
We honour this day every day through:
- Resident-led forums to discuss aspirations and community goals.
- Well-being workshops focusing on physical, emotional, and social health.
- Storytelling sessions where residents share their journeys and the impact they’ve made.
These celebrations are not just symbolic, they’re a reaffirmation of our commitment to person-centred care and active aging.
Looking Ahead at TriCare
As we reflect on this year’s theme, we recommit to supporting older persons in living lives of purpose, autonomy, and joy.
Let’s continue to build a world where older persons are not only cared for but continued to be celebrated as leaders and advocates.
