And the sun finally came out. And so did this little guy 🐇 pure enjoyment watching this guy and feeling the sunshine through the window. It was a little too windy to go outdoors today for our walk. We did laps around the many corridors throughout the long term home and enjoyed reading short stories (Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul) all revolving around sunshine and gardening ☀️🌞

It was a day filled with meetings in Wasaga Beach, Stayner and Creemore; touching base with the team, possible transitioning of clients, potential new clients, meeting new team members at Retirement & Long Term Homes, and potential new staff at Assisted Adult Living.

Enjoying some amazing beautiful days outdoors with this client who resides in LTC. The fresh air feels so good, betters her appetite and has a great afternoon nap. She loves the sunshine on her hands and face, warming her up from the cool air conditioned indoors. She also enjoys the beautiful gardens around the community. 🌺 🌹

As dementia has increased for this particular client we've had to adjust her food from normal to minced to pureed over the past few years.

A normal diet consists of foods that are soft but still have texture, suitable for residents with no chewing or swallowing issues.

A minced diet consists of foods which are chopped into small, soft, uniform pieces. This makes it easier to chew and move in the mouth.

Currently my client is on a pureed diet consisting of foods which are blended into a smooth, consistent, paste-like texture.

We need to ensure safety, prevention from choking & aspiration, while providing proper nutrition.

The liquids are thickened with a powder, stirred until it's of proper consistency.

BINGO; someone is super happy 😁 🏆

A past time favourite game to play, with a little assistance from the team, he's still able to enjoy. When one lives with vision loss, we help ensure there are still opportunities to be able to do things.

Amazing how one living with dementia experiences behavioural issues due to a small toe irritation.
Trouble shooting time; socks with seams, shoes, slippers, summer sandals.
New shoes bought, old shoes donated/recycled, waiting on new slippers to come in from IDA Wasaga Beach.

I always attend specialist appointments with clients to hear where their health is at, what we need to do to assist in making things better or maintain what we're already doing.
Love working alongside healthcare teams to ensure we're providing the best care possible for all clients.

Yes, we even engage in activities like swimming with clients. What better way than to beat this heat as well. 🥵

There are many benefits for swimming with the elderly; improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and flexibility, and enhanced mental well-being. It's a low-impact exercise that's gentle on the joints, making it beneficial for those living with arthritis or other joint pain. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on the body, which allows for a wider range of motion and improved flexibility.

This particular location has beautiful views too 😍

Gardening offers a wide array of health benefits, encompassing both physical and mental well-being. It acts as a form of moderate exercise, improving cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and flexibility while also reducing stress, anxiety, and the risk of cognitive decline. Furthermore, gardening can boost the immune system, enhance mood, and improve sleep quality.

Just a little AI blurb about how important gardening can be ☝🏼
