Movement isn't just for the gym—it's part of living well at home.

At Home Care Assistance, we know that even small steps have a big impact, so our caregivers integrate movement into your loved one's everyday routines with activities like:

🪴 Watering houseplants
🎶 Dancing to a favourite song
🧹 Light exercise with gentle stretches
📦 Organizing a drawer or shelf
🪑 Walking together to check the mail

It's just one way our Balanced Care Method® stands out in the industry.

Sometimes the small things you notice during a holiday visit—a slower pace, more effort standing up, changes in routine—remind you that your parents are getting older. These moments are a helpful signal that it may be time to start planning for the future.

Here are a few tips to get started:
💠 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. Begin the conversation before a crisis.
💠 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁. Centre the discussion around their goals and preferences.
💠 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. Bring siblings or trusted relatives into the conversation.
💠 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. A few hours a week can strengthen independence and expand as needs change.

With Home Care Assistance’s flexible levels of support—from part-time help to round-the-clock care—it’s never too early or too late to learn what’s possible.

At Home Care Assistance, we believe care isn't about putting someone into a schedule, it’s about centering on who they are.

From the very first discussion, our caregivers take the time to learn about your loved one’s routines, preferences and what truly matters to them. This way, they can better respect their independence and adapt as their needs change. Whether it’s a warm conversation, help getting ready for the day, or support through memory‑changes, our team is there with genuine compassion and skilled attention.

Because person‑centred care isn't just a phrase, it’s our promise: your loved one is seen, heard and valued: https://www.homecareassistanceedmonton.ca/caregivers/

As the year winds down, many families reflect on what brings clarity and comfort. One habit with a big impact? Gratitude.

Research shows that even a small daily gratitude habit—like noting three things you’re thankful for—can improve sleep, ease stress, and support emotional well-being. For older adults, it can be a grounding force that brings meaning to everyday life.

At Home Care Assistance, our caregivers help nurture this mindset through compassion and meaningful connection.

Research around the world shows that expressing appreciation – whether for big gestures or small moments – isn’t just a feel-good habit; it’s actually a science-backed approach to better well-being.

Connection is one of the core pillars of our Balanced Care Method®—and for many older adults, it makes all the difference.

Here’s what one client shared about the impact of companionship:

“This has been, and still is, a phenomenal assistance for me. Just the companionship alone has been such a motivating factor for me, feeling truly cared about and not a burden. My caregiver is a great motivator—helping me want to get out of bed, go outside on my porch, and enjoy the simple things in life. That alone helped me with the depression that was trying to make its way in. I highly appreciate and recommend their services for you or a loved one. Thank you, Home Care Assistance!”

Meaningful connection supports emotional well-being, reduces loneliness, and helps your loved one stay engaged in daily life.
