📞 Give them a call.
☕ Visit for coffee.
🧩 Sit down for a puzzle or listen to their favourite story.

As we age, limited mobility, slower reflexes, and medications that cause dizziness can make everyday tasks riskier especially near heat or sharp tools.

Here are a few simple ways to make your loved one’s kitchen safer:

✔️ Keep frequently used items at counter height to avoid reaching or bending
✔️Label stove settings clearly to reduce confusion or accidents while cooking
✔️Avoid loose clothing near burners, especially long sleeves
✔️Ensure a working fire extinguisher is nearby, and easy to use

We are honoured to support families like this.

The summer heat is no joke especially for your loved ones.

With these recent heat waves, keeping your loved one’s fans and AC units in good working order is more than just about comfort, it’s about safety.

Check for clean filters, steady airflow, and cords that are secure to make sure cool air keeps flowing all season long.

⚠️ Are You Experiencing Caregiver Burnout?⚠️

Caring for a loved one is an act of deep love but it can also be emotionally and physically draining.

If you’re feeling…

▪️ Constantly tired, no matter how much you rest
▪️ Easily overwhelmed, irritable, or emotionally numb
▪️ Guilty when you take time for yourself
▪️ Less patient, less focused, or disconnected from others

These may be signs of caregiver burnout and it’s more common than you think.

Burnout doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you’ve been carrying too much for too long without enough support.

Did you know?
Many falls happen at night when your loved one may be tired, disoriented, or rushing to the bathroom in the dark.

Make sure your loved one’s bedroom has:

✔️ A clear path to the bathroom
✔️ Nightlights
✔️ A phone nearby

If your loved one is taking several medications, their risk of falling may be higher than you think.

Here’s how you can help keep them safe:
✔️ Review their medications with a doctor or pharmacist
✔️ Ask what each one is for and what side effects to look out for
✔️ Discuss safer alternatives if any cause balance or sleepiness
✔️ Make sure every care provider has an updated medication list

It’s perfectly normal to misplace your keys or forget someone’s name once in a while. That happens to all of us at any age.

But when memory lapses begin to interfere with daily life, cause confusion, or create safety concerns, it could be something more.

If you're noticing these signs in a loved one, you're not overreacting. It’s always okay to ask questions, seek help, and explore options early.

Thank you for your trust in us.
