Happy Chinese New Year!

Each tradition is meant to symbolize and bring upon good fortune, health, and prosperity for the new year to come.

It’s never too late to start an exercise program or make improvements to your current one!

Using a walker correctly doesn’t come naturally
Many older adults use a folding walker to help them move around more safely and independently.

But learning how to use a walker correctly takes some practice – the movements aren’t always intuitive.

And more importantly, using a walker incorrectly can actually increase fall risk or body aches.

Do you have a favorite park to visit that gives peace and comfort? Enjoying a walk or an outing to the local park provides a new environment as well as connecting with the community! Bring some bird seed, a favorite beverage and relax in the fresh air. 🌿

Going home for the holidays often brings great joy, as well as great stress. And for adult children who may not have seen their aging parents in a few months, these visits provide an important opportunity to observe their parents’ physical and mental state to determine whether they’re thriving on their own or may require additional help.

Although the holiday season can be fast-paced, make sure your senior doesn’t over exert themselves.
You can prevent this by including down time and encouraging the whole family to join in and participate.
Asking seniors about their holiday memories and traditions is also a fun and easy way to involve them in family social activities.

How do you flatten leaves quickly?
Pressing with weight – This is the simplest way to press leaves. Simply sandwich the leaves between newspaper or waxed paper and place something weighted on top of them, like a pile of books.

Once pressed, make crafts with these leaves. Craft ideas range from making a wreath to creating an art collage!

Searching for senior living for a loved one can be an exhaustive process and it’s a decision that does not come lightly. Our job is to make sure that trying to find an appropriate community does not become more work on your plate. From start to finish we stay in contact and listen to your feedback regarding each community.

Consider Loved Ones With Dementia
If you have a loved one who displays symptoms of Alzheimer’s or dementia, put their needs at the top of your priorities. In order to help them enjoy Halloween safely:

Avoid leaving them alone for the night
Do not play scary music or loud music in general
Answer the door with them
Prevent them from surprise exposure to what could be considered a “scary costume” in their eyes
