Connecting generations: Dubai's Nolo hosts Seniors’ Afternoon to honor UAE’s elder community connection

Dubai: In a city known for innovation and ambition, a quieter transformation is unfolding—one that’s changing how we understand age, dignity, and connection. On Tuesday, May 20, Nolo, a mindful social space, will host “Seniors’ Afternoon”, a special gathering in collaboration with Dusit Thani Dubai and 4get-me-not, a UAE-based initiative supporting seniors living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The event is the latest chapter in a growing partnership rooted in empathy, purpose, and inclusion. As seniors return to guest-facing roles within Nolo’s warm and welcoming environment, the day promises more than just conversation and community—it offers a profound reminder of the value each individual brings, at any stage of life.

Over the past several months, this partnership has sparked a series of thoughtful engagements that continue to leave a lasting impression such as:

• Awareness in action: An internal Dementia and Alzheimer’s talk empowered team members with empathy and practical tools to better support seniors as partners, not just guests.

• Aerobics with the seniors: Wellness found a new rhythm as hotel staff and seniors moved together in joyful unison. The session broke barriers and built bonds—showing that vitality, like joy, knows no age.

These moments—quiet, yet powerful—have become the foundation of a movement that is redefining the traditional boundaries of hospitality. It’s not just about service. It’s about listening. Learning. Making space.

While Seniors’ Afternoon honors senior citizens, it’s open to all. Whether you’re joining to support, connect, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, this is a gathering for anyone who believes in a more inclusive and compassionate world.

Together, they’re creating a space where seniors aren’t just cared for—they’re celebrated. As the partnership grows, it continues to challenge assumptions and inspire change, reminding us that true luxury lies not in extravagance, but in the moments that matter: shared laughter, intergenerational learning, and the simple power of being seen and valued.
