For older adults, loneliness can take a real toll on health and happiness. The good news? Companionship and meaningful engagement can make all the difference.

At Home Care Assistance, our caregivers use our proprietary approach to care, the Balanced Care Method®, to bring purpose, joy, conversation, and connection into your loved one’s daily life—because having someone who cares can make all the difference.

What do you do when your parents or aging loved one needs help, but they are reluctant to accept?

We have a couple of ideas you can try:

→ Ask your parents to try home care, at least temporarily. Once they meet their caregiver and see how nice it is to have an extra set of hands, “temporary” almost always becomes permanent.
→ Come up with another name for “caregiver.” Sometimes, parents are more receptive to having a personal assistant or a housekeeper/chef.
→ Ask your parents to agree to a meeting with our owner. Once parents meet our owner and understand that our company shares their goal of remaining at home, it’s a less threatening proposition.

When you’re caring for someone else, it’s easy to forget your own needs—but you can't pour from an empty cup. It's important to remember that your health matters too.

Here are a few ways to care for yourself while caring for your loved one:

💜 Set boundaries: Protect time for rest and personal needs.
💜 Create routines: Structure brings calm and predictability.
💜 Manage stress: Find small moments of relaxation or joy each day.
💜 Accept help: Let others step in—it’s not weakness, it’s wisdom.

Respite Care from Home Care Assistance gives you time to recharge while your loved one continues receiving exceptional care.

Cold and flu season can bring more than sniffles for older adults—it can bring serious health risks.

As the immune system naturally weakens with age, preventing illness becomes key to staying independent and well.

Here are a few simple ways to strengthen immunity this season:
🍎 Eat nutrient-rich meals with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein
💉 Stay up to date on flu, COVID-19, and pneumonia vaccines
🚶 Move daily to boost circulation and energy
😴 Prioritize quality sleep
🧴 Practice good hygiene and handwashing

At Home Care Assistance, our caregivers help seniors build healthy routines that support immunity and confidence all season long.

Why boosting immunity matters most for seniors—and how simple habits can reduce risks, prevent complications, and protect independence.

When you need it most, our team is ready to step in and provide help. Just like Suzanne F, you can have peace of mind knowing our compassionate caregivers are ready to lend a hand:

"Home Care Assistance has provided us with the best of home care aides, and we are very satisfied with their service. If our regular care aide is unavailable for a shift, they ensure that another care aide is provided. My mother is bedridden since having a major stroke and requires a qualified care aide to assist with everything. My mother enjoys the time she spends with the care aide as they play on her iPad together, watch TV together and go for walks. It is nice to have someone who is friendly and respectful and does the job without having to be instructed or supervised. I am thankful for Home Care Assistance for providing great care aides!"

Is your loved one’s home a fall risk?

Falls are one of the biggest health risks for older adults—but a few small changes can make their home safer and more accessible.

Here are a few simple ways to help prevent falls:
✔️ Add better lighting
✔️ Clear walkways of clutter
✔️ Remove or tape down rugs
✔️ Use non-slip mats in tubs, kitchens, and other slick areas

Encourage gentle exercises that build balance and strength, too—every bit helps reduce the risk.

When it comes to care, it's not a "one size fits all" solution. Individual needs require individual care.

Our Client Directed Home Care Program (CDHCI), allows clients to communicate their specific requirements directly with their care providers. Clients can customize everything from scheduling to the specific types of assistance needed, daily routines, unique circumstances and more.

Personalization of care means:
- Direct communication of individual needs and preferences
- Tailored care plans that respect client autonomy
- Customized scheduling and service delivery
- Adaptation to specific daily living requirements

When it comes to home care, our CDHCI program keeps you in control. Learn more now: https://www.homecareassistanceedmonton.ca/contact-us/
