January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and at Compass Homecare, we’re focused on raising awareness through education. Today, we’re highlighting sundowning and how it can impact individuals and caregivers.

For many people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the late afternoon and evening can bring increased confusion, agitation, and anxiety: a phenomenon known as sundowning.

While sundowning can be challenging for both individuals and caregivers, small, thoughtful adjustments can make a meaningful difference:

✔️ Keep spaces well lit
Bright, consistent lighting in the afternoon and evening can reduce agitation caused by shadows and unfamiliar surroundings.

✔️ Create calming environments
Stress-reducing, comfortable spaces with soothing music, familiar routines, and temperature-controlled sleeping areas help promote comfort and ease.

✔️ Plan for active days
Encouraging activity, appointments, and exercise earlier in the day can lead to better rest at night.

✔️ Maintain consistent routines
Regular schedules for meals, medications, and bedtime provide a sense of stability and reassurance.

Sometimes, even something as simple as a gentle, reassuring touch can help ease moments of frustration.

Alzheimer’s awareness isn’t just about understanding the diagnosis, it’s about learning how to support dignity, comfort, and quality of life for those living with it, and for the caregivers walking alongside them.

We’ve put together a downloadable infographic to help keep these tips front of mind. Please do share:

If you are reading this, we made it to a New Year.

We want to start 2026 by sharing a message to you. How luckily we are to continue walking our paths, each with our own purpose and life’s mission.

As we pause to reflect, lets each think on our guiding principle & compass for 2026.

As we step into January, we’re choosing to lead with gratitude. Gratitude for what we have, the people we care for, the families who trust us, and the caregivers who show up every day with heart, patience, and purpose. When we focus on our “haves,” even small moments begin to feel like magic & wonder.

For those we serve, for their loved ones, and for our Compass Homecare team, we know each day can bring its own challenges. But it also brings opportunities for connection, kindness, and care that truly matters & transends.

Our guiding principles for the year ahead will be our compass:

• Patience — with one another and ourselves
• Selflessness — putting people first, always
• Compassion — in every interaction
• Service — grounded in dignity and respect
• Gratitude — for the moments big and small

At Compass Homecare, these principles will guide us throughout 2026. We invite everyone within healthcare and beyond to join us in carrying them forward, checking in with ourselves each day, and choosing to lead with empathy, intention, and care.

Here’s to a New Year filled with hope, presence, and purpose.

From your friends at Compass Homecare.

During cold and flu season, a warm bowl of soup can do more than provide comfort — it can support the immune system and help seniors stay nourished through the colder months.

Winter is here. Let's talk senior winter safety and preparedness.

As the temperature drops and snowy weather becomes more frequent, taking proactive steps can make a huge difference in preventing injuries and keeping loved ones safe at home.

Here are a few helpful reminders to keep seniors protected this season:

1. Snow & Ice Preparedness
Plan ahead for snow removal or de-icing walkways and driveways to reduce slips and falls.

2. Proper Winter Gear
Warm layers, gloves, scarves, and sturdy boots with good traction can prevent cold-related risks. If they drive, ensure there are blankets, extra gloves, and hats in the trunk of the car as well.

3. Fireplace & Heating Safety
Schedule regular inspections for fireplaces, space heaters, or furnaces. Check carbon monoxide detectors and keep a fire extinguisher nearby (and up-to-date).

4. Mobility & Walking Aids
A cane with an ice tip, cleat attachments, or mobility supports can improve stability on icy surfaces.

Whether it’s safety planning, companionship, mobility support, or daily living assistance, a little preparation goes a long way in creating a safer winter for the seniors we care about.

Compass Homecare is here to support your loved one’s comfort, independence, and peace of mind — all year round.

For many seniors, the most meaningful gifts aren’t material at all: they’re moments of connection, compassion, and care. The holidays can be a joyful time, but for older adults, they can also bring feelings of isolation or being left out of the festivities.

At Compass Homecare, we’re reminded every day that sharing & caring are the true gifts we can give. It’s not about what’s under the tree, it’s about the value of being present, being thoughtful, and being there.

If you’re searching for meaningful gift ideas for the seniors in your life, here are a few ideas that go far beyond the traditional:

🎁 Quality time. A shared meal, a visit, a conversation. Time is one of the most priceless gifts we have.

🎁 Memory sharing. Bring old photo albums, write down family stories, or ask about their history and childhood.

🎁 Acts of service. Small gestures make a big difference — help with errands, winter prep, or technology.

🎁 Connection to community. Join them in a social activity, game, or holiday outing.

🎁 Companionship. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply being present — even silence shared together can be meaningful.

Here’s to a season built on kindness, connection, and caring, from your friends at Compass Homecare.

On December 2nd, we recognize Women’s Brain Health Day.

Today, we join the Women’s Brain Health Initiative in raising awareness about the importance of brain health, especially for women, who are disproportionately affected by brain-aging disorders.

Let’s focus on the 6 pillars of brain health:

• Sleep: Prioritize rest for cognitive recovery.
• Exercise: Stay active to support both body and mind.
• Nutrition: Choose brain-healthy foods like leafy greens, nuts, and fish.
• Stress Management: Practice mindfulness to reduce mental strain.
• Social Activity: Stay connected—relationships are vital for mental well-being.
• Mental Stimulation: Keep learning and challenging your brain.

Together, we can support lifelong cognitive vitality. How are you prioritizing your brain health today?

November marks both Falls Prevention Month and Osteoporosis Month — two important reminders that go hand in hand when it comes to protecting senior health.

Did you know that 1 in 3 seniors experiences a fall each year, and falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations in older adults? Many of these incidents lead to fractures caused by osteoporosis — a disease that weakens bones, making them more fragile and susceptible to breaks.

While falls can happen to anyone, maintaining strong bones and muscle strength can make a significant difference.

Exercise helps build bone density and improve balance, reducing the likelihood of both falls and fractures. Weight-bearing and resistance activities — like walking, gentle strength training, or yoga — encourage bone growth and improve coordination.

Nutrition plays a vital role too. A diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein supports bone repair and strength. Foods like leafy greens, dairy, almonds, and fortified alternatives all contribute to bone health.

At Compass Homecare, we’re dedicated to helping seniors stay strong, independent, and confident at home — through care that supports both safety and wellness.

This month, let’s work together to prevent falls, strengthen bones, and break myths — not bones.

Time for a Compass Homecare Fall Check-in.

As the days grow shorter and the chill sets in, it’s a great time to remind our seniors (and ourselves!) about home safety for the colder months ahead.

Before cozying up by the fire, take a few simple steps to keep everyone safe and comfortable this season:

✔ Have your fireplace and furnace inspected to prevent hazards.
✔ Check fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors.
✔ Clean chimneys and vents to avoid buildup or blockages.
✔ Replace batteries in alarms and flashlights.
✔ Schedule a flu shot or COVID booster — especially important before winter gatherings.
✔ Use a humidifier if the air in the home gets too dry, but clean it regularly to avoid mold

Small, proactive steps go a long way toward preventing illness, accidents, and keeping homes warm and worry-free. Let’s help our loved ones stay safe, cozy, and confident this winter.
