Local couple Amanda and Todd Carwell have what it takes to bring the best home care services to local Edmonton Families. Amanda, a Registered Nurse, graduated from the University of Alberta in 2003 before working as a home care Case Manager with Capital Health. It was in this role that Amanda saw the desperate need for in-home healthcare services and nursing services Edmonton families needed. Todd, meanwhile, recently graduated from the University of Alberta as well but with a focus in business. An entrepreneur at heart, Todd knew he and his wife possessed a unique set of skills that could change the way home care was delivered to seniors in Edmonton. In order to meet the rapidly growing needs of Edmonton seniors for reliable home care services, Amanda and Todd decided to launch a local Nurse Next Door franchise. The couple knew this would be the way they could help Edmonton seniors who wanted to stay at home for as long as possible. With their unique combination of healthcare and business experience, Amanda and Todd are poised to become both experts and leaders in home health care and elderly care in Edmonton. They have made it their goal to build Nurse Next Door into the premier home care service provider in Edmonton and offer families the peace of mind they need when they are caring for aging loved ones. Nurse Next Door offers a wide range of one-on-one Home Care Services in Edmonton SW.

On September 30th, Canada observes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a day to honour the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities, and to remember the children who never returned home.

The day also coincides with Orange Shirt Day, a powerful symbol of the stripping away of culture and freedom from Indigenous children. Wearing an orange shirt is a way to show solidarity and a reminder that Every Child Matters.

At Nurse Next Door, we are committed to providing compassionate care that is rooted in respect and understanding. We recognize the profound and lasting impact of the residential school system on Indigenous Elders and communities. We are dedicated to ongoing learning and action to build a more just and compassionate future for all.

We encourage you to take time to reflect, learn, and listen. Reconciliation is a shared responsibility, and every act of education and empathy helps.

❤️ Tips for a Healthy Heart: Nurse Next Door
This September 29th is World Heart Day, a time to focus on the importance of cardiovascular health.

Here are a few heart-healthy tips:

Eat Smart: Fuel your body with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Opt for lean proteins and healthy fats like those found in oily fish, nuts, and seeds. Try to limit processed foods. A balanced diet can help manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight.

Move Your Body: Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your heart. Even moderate exercise, like a brisk daily walk can make a significant difference. Always consult with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Manage Stress: Chronic stress can take a toll on your heart. Find healthy ways to relax and unwind, whether it's through meditation, spending time with loved ones, or engaging in a favorite hobby.

Get Enough Sleep: Quality sleep is crucial for your body's repair and recovery. Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to help regulate blood pressure and reduce stress hormones.

Regular Check-ups: Staying on top of your health numbers—like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar—is essential. Regular doctor visits can help you and your healthcare team monitor your heart health and create a proactive plan.

At Nurse Next Door, we believe that a diagnosis of Alzheimer's doesn't mean the end of a fulfilling life. Our specially trained caregivers are dedicated to providing memory care that goes beyond medical needs.

This includes maintaining familiar routines, engaging in mentally stimulating activities, and providing respite care to family members who are often the primary caregivers.

Our mission is to help people with Alzheimer's get back to doing the things they love. It's about empowering them to find moments of joy, purpose, and connection, ensuring they continue to live a "Happier Aging" life.

🎃 Happier Aging: A Sweet Halloween Story 🍬

At Nurse Next Door, we're all about happier aging, and sometimes, that means helping our clients create new, joyful memories. This Halloween, one of our clients had a wonderful idea. She wanted her mom to feel included and engaged in the festivities, so she asked us to help her mom hand out candy to the neighborhood trick-or-treaters.
It was a simple request that will bring so much happiness. Our caregiver will be there to provide a helping hand, ensuring mom can safely participate. The smiles on the kids' faces and the sheer delight of mom will be so rewarding! This simple act of kindness perfectly captures our philosophy: it's not just about providing care, but about finding ways to celebrate life and bring joy to every moment.

We're proud to support our clients and their families in living life to the fullest, one happy moment at a time.

What are some of your favorite ways to make holidays special for the seniors in your life?

At Nurse Next Door, we believe that caring for clients isn't just about their physical health; it's about a holistic approach that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our philosophy, "Happier Aging™," is at the core of everything we do.

Our caregivers don't just help with medical needs; they focus on the small, thoughtful details that truly make a difference. This means going beyond a health condition or a list of tasks to help people rediscover their passions, reconnect with what they love, and find a renewed sense of purpose. It might be helping with daily tasks, but it's also about having a conversation, sharing a laugh, or enjoying a trip to a local park.

Our goal is to empower clients to live life to the fullest, maintaining their dignity and independence. We know that a person's well-being is a beautiful tapestry woven from their physical, emotional, and social health, and we are committed to helping them get back to doing the things that make them happy.

Imagine this: Your mom, who used to love cooking, now finds it difficult. Instead of her struggling, a friendly caregiver arrives. They chat while preparing her favourite soup, go grocery shopping for the week, and make sure she has healthy meals ready to go.

That's the peace of mind we provide. It's more than just a service; it's about bringing joy and health back into the kitchen.

Sweat smarter, not harder.

Forget melting in the summer heat and opt for morning or evening walks for that fresh air and mood boost. Or maybe you're ready to dive into a pool for some swimming or water aerobics? It's a full-body workout that's super gentle on your joints and keeps you cool! Not up for a big adventure, plant a garden in your back yard as a fantastic way to move your body and enjoy nature's beauty.
