Today, around 57 million people worldwide are living with dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease accounting for up to 70% of these cases. With nearly 10 million new diagnoses each year, the need for support, better care, investment in research, and strategies for prevention has never been more urgent.

Early diagnosis can make a significant difference in managing the disease. Here are 5 potential early warning signs to be aware of:

1. Memory Loss: Frequently forgetting recently learned information or important dates.

2. Difficulty Planning or Solving Problems: Struggling with tasks that require concentration, like following a recipe or managing finances.

3. Confusion with Time or Place: Losing track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time.

4. Difficulty Completing Familiar Tasks: Trouble with routine activities, such as driving to a familiar location.

5. Changes in Mood and Personality: Becoming easily upset, confused, or anxious, especially in new situations.

If these signs are noticeable, it's important to seek medical advice. Early detection can make a significant difference in managing the condition.

Does your loved one need help? Caring for a family member or loved one living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia is an immense undertaking, and Compass Homecare is here to help. As the disease progresses, their needs increase exponentially.

We understand the duty families feel to their loved ones, and we’re not here to interfere with that. Instead, our team is available to provide professional and much-deserved support.

Ready to refresh your fall produce picks with nutrition that boosts your immune system?

As the weather cools and we head into flu and cold season, the foods we choose can make a big difference in supporting overall wellness and immunity—especially for older adults.

This fall, add a seasonal favourite to your daily meals—packed with vitamins and nutrients that help support your immune system.

Pumpkins & squash – packed with vitamin A for healthy vision and immunity.
Apples – high in fiber and antioxidants that support heart and gut health.
Root vegetables like carrots and beets – loaded with essential minerals and vitamins.

Pairing these with lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of water helps create balanced meals that keep the body nourished and resilient.

At Compass Homecare, we believe proactive steps like smart nutrition, daily movement, and routine check-ins all play a role in staying healthier through the colder months.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

While this day reminds us of the importance of mental health for everyone, it’s also a chance to reflect on a group we often overlook—our seniors.

As people age, they face unique challenges: loss of independence, physical changes, and shifts in their social circles. These can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can quietly weigh on their mental wellbeing.

A simple “hello” or checking in to ask, “how are you doing?” can make all the difference—the act of just being thought of today. Create space for these open conversations to happen. Taking a moment to check in with an older friend, parent, or neighbour isn’t just kind—it’s vital. Social connection helps keep seniors active, engaged, and feeling valued.

Let’s use today as a gentle reminder: mental health isn’t just about crisis intervention, it’s about prevention, compassion, and ongoing connection. For our elders, sometimes the smallest gesture can be the greatest lifeline.

Check in. Reach out. Stay connected. From your friends at Compass Homecare.

September is Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

At Compass Healthcare, we believe awareness is the first step toward prevention, early detection, and compassionate care.

Here are a few things you may not know:

Prostate Cancer

1. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men (after skin cancers).
2. Early stages often present no symptoms, which is why regular screening makes such a difference.
3. When detected early, prostate cancer has a very high survival rate—over 90%.

Ovarian Cancer

1. While ovarian cancer is less common, its symptoms—like persistent bloating, pelvic discomfort, or changes in appetite—may sometimes go unnoticed.
2. This makes regular voluntary screenings and proactive check-ups especially important, helping ensure women aren’t blindsided by a late diagnosis.
3. Advances in research and treatment continue to improve outcomes, offering hope and healthier futures for those affected.

At Compass Healthcare, being a people-first, compassionate organization means supporting education, prevention, and care—because awareness saves lives.

Let’s take a moment to check in with loved ones, schedule routine screenings, and share what we’ve learned—small steps that can make a big difference.

When it's too hot to be outside, stay busy and cool down in the kitchen.

Encouraging our elder loved ones to stay engaged—whether through cooking, learning something new, or simply sharing a meaningful moment—can bring a sense of purpose, joy, and routine. And when that activity supports whole-body wellness? Even better.

Lentils are a pantry staple that pack a powerful punch—rich in fiber, plant-based protein, and heart-healthy nutrients that support longevity and vitality.

Here’s a simple, delicious recipe to try together—or share with someone you love:

Simple Cold French Lentil Salad

✔ Easy to chew and digest
✔ High in plant‑based protein, fiber, iron & potassium
✔ Stirring & chopping are gentle, low‑stress kitchen tasks
✔ Make in a big batch and enjoy meals for several days

Ingredients (4 servings):

1 cup green or black lentils (dry) – about 3 cups cooked after rinsing
1 bay leaf (to add aroma while cooking)
1 English cucumber, chopped
1 red bell pepper (or roasted red pepper), chopped
2 green onions or chives, sliced
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup chopped fresh mint
Salt and pepper to taste

For the lemon‑garlic dressing:

Juice of 2 large lemons
1–2 garlic cloves, minced
Big pinch of salt and pepper
⅓ cup olive oil (for richness and healthy fats)
Optional: ½ tsp chili flakes

Instructions:

1. Cook the lentils: Simmer lentils with bay leaf in water until tender (~20 min). Drain, remove bay leaf. Let stand to cool slightly.
2. Make the dressing: Whisk lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until well combined.
3. Combine salad: Add warm lentils into dressing, stir, then gently mix in cucumber, pepper, onions, parsley, and mint.
4. Chill or serve warm: The flavors develop beautifully if served after chilling a bit. Store in fridge—stays fresh for up to 3–4 days.

Enjoy!

Compass Homecare Presents: Gentle Moments in the Garden
A Slow Morning Wellness Routine for Seniors

There’s something deeply grounding about the quiet of a summer morning. The gentle rustle of the wind, birdsong overhead, the scent of flowers in bloom. It’s in these moments that the body can move freely, the mind can breathe, and the spirit can rest.

Invite your loved one—or enjoy for yourself—a peaceful morning wellness experience right in your own backyard.

🟢 Step 1: Set the Scene
Choose a shaded spot in the garden, on a patio, or even on a balcony. A sturdy chair, light blanket, and a bottle of water are all you need. Let nature be your backdrop—greenery, breeze, and the warmth of early light.

🟢 Step 2: Gentle Movement & Stretch
Begin with this calming seated stretch and gentle movement session:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BcPHWGQO44

This 10-minute video offers a simple, low-impact routine suitable for all mobility levels. No experience necessary—just follow along and breathe.

🟢 Step 3: Reflection, Stillness, & Breath
After movement, remain seated or recline in a comfortable position. Begin the quiet time. No screens. No schedule. Just 30 minutes of peace and presence.

Play this curated morning playlist softly in the background:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HPGVCeURlY&list=RD8HPGVCeURlY&start_radio=1

Encourage deep breathing:

✔ Inhale through the nose (4 seconds)
✔ Hold (4 seconds)
✔ Exhale slowly through the mouth (6 seconds)
✔ Repeat gently.

Use this time for reflection, gratitude, or simply enjoying the moment. If journaling is helpful, keep a notepad nearby.

This simple program supports physical flexibility, calm the nervous system, and nurtures emotional well-being. It’s an act of care—for yourself or someone you love. At Compass Homecare, we believe in creating moments that nourish the whole person.
