Is It Time to Consider Respite Care for Your Aging Loved One?
As caregivers, it's easy to put others first and forget to take care of ourselves. However, burnout is a real concern, and that's where respite care comes in.
This article by Comfort Keepers Canada explores when it might be time to seek temporary support for seniors, especially when:
🏘️ Daily care becomes overwhelming
🏘️The senior’s needs become more complex
🏘️The caregiver needs time to rest or handle personal responsibilities
Respite care provides professional support for a few days or weeks — either at home or in a facility — allowing caregivers to recharge while their loved ones remain safe, supported, and socially engaged.
🧠 It’s not a sign of weakness — it’s a smart step in sustainable caregiving.

☀️ Summer Safety Tips for Seniors

With rising temperatures across Canada, it’s important to recognize how heat affects older adults. Seniors are more vulnerable to heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heat stroke, especially those with chronic conditions or taking certain medications.

Here are 4 quick tips to keep seniors safe this summer:

✅ Stay Hydrated – Encourage regular fluid intake (water or electrolyte drinks), even if they’re not thirsty. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
🕶️ Use Sun Protection – Avoid peak sun hours (10am–3pm) and follow: Slip on a shirt, Slop on sunscreen, Slap on a hat, and Wrap on sunglasses.
🏃 Keep Exercise Light – Shift physical activity to early morning or evening hours.
🛋️ Take Breaks – Ensure seniors have a cool space to rest and recover throughout the day.

If symptoms of heat-related illness appear—like confusion, dizziness, or extreme fatigue—seek medical help immediately. Stay cool, stay safe! 🌿

Founded by Comfort Keepers®. Made for Everyone. 💜
We created the National Day of Joy in 2019 because our decades of helping seniors with our unique brand of uplifting in-home care show us that a daily dose of joy can truly work wonders. No matter how old you are, finding joy in even the simplest everyday moments is scientifically proven to help improve and maintain overall wellness, including physical and mental health. That's worth celebrating, right? We thought so.
So, to make sure everyone has at least one day a year devoted to experiencing and sharing joy, we registered the last Wednesday in June each year as The National Day of Joy with the National Day Archives. Please plan to join us each year by doing your part to bring more joy into the world.
