89-Year-Old Oak Creek Man's Dream Comes With Tacos

OAK CREEK, WI — "What would your best day be?"

That is the guiding question to Azura Memory Care's MOSIAC Dreams Program - a program that works to fulfill the dreams and wishes of its residents.

For 89-year-old Oak Creek residents Ray Meyer, his dream came true on Thursday, June 14 at BelAir Cantina, located at 410 W Town Square Way in Oak Creek. Meyer, who is a resident at Azura Memory Care, said that all he wanted to do was spend time with his loved ones and enjoy his favorite meal on his birthday - it's a family tradition.

On that day, all of Meyer's family came donning red, white and blue — a special part of the tradition as Ray’s birthday falls on Flag Day — and enjoyed Ray’s favorite meal together: tacos.

“It was really touching to see all of the smiles at the table and see Ray and his family enjoying dinner out at a restaurant together,” Denise Jurecki, director of community relations for Azura of Oak Creek told Patch. “This is truly what our Dreams Program is all about; helping to make moments of joy like these a reality for those within our care and their families.”

MOSAIC Dreams by Azura Memory Care also partners with the nonprofit organization, Second Wind Dreams, to capture and make dreams come true. To learn more about Azura Memory Care visit us online at www.azuramemory.com or find us on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.
