Helping Seniors Detect Cataracts
Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and affects the retina's ability to properly interpret and transmit signals of light to the part of the brain that governs sight. When the brain receives a cloudy signal, vision then becomes cloudy or blurred. Although rare cases exist in which babies are born with congenital cataracts, cataracts most commonly affects older adults, especially those over the age of 80.

We love seeing brain health science in the spotlight. 🧠

The New York Times featured the Alzheimer’s Association’s U.S. POINTER study, highlighting how a guided lifestyle program can improve cognition and support brain health. Now, they’re inviting the public to put that science into action with a 5-Day Brain Health Challenge starting January 5.

If you’re looking for a healthy way to start the new year — this is a great place to begin.

The day after Christmas carries a special kind of joy 🎄✨

The rush has passed, the lights still glow, and what remains are the moments that matter most—quiet conversations, shared laughter, and memories made with loved ones.

At Comfort Keepers, we see this joy every day. It’s in a warm cup of coffee shared at the kitchen table, a favorite holiday story retold, or the comfort of knowing someone is there to help and care with kindness. For seniors, these gentle moments of connection mean everything.

As the season continues, we’re grateful to support families by bringing companionship, comfort, and peace of mind—during the holidays and all year long.
Wishing you continued warmth, joy, and togetherness. ❤️

Merry Christmas to all of those celebrating from everyone at Comfort Keepers!

🚗💙 Subaru Share the Love is more than a promotion — it’s a lifeline.

When you purchase or lease a new Subaru before January 2, Subaru donates $250 to the charity of your choice. We hope you’ll consider Meals on Wheels through Eastern Area Agency on Aging.

Thanks to community support like this, last year we delivered 196,103 home-delivered meals across our service area — each one bringing nourishment, safety, and human connection to an older adult at home.

The need is still great. We currently have 313 neighbors waiting for Meals on Wheels. With continued fundraising and partnerships like Subaru Share the Love, we can keep closing that gap.

If a new Subaru is in your future, you can help ensure fewer older adults are left waiting for a meal and a friendly knock at the door.

❤️ Choose Meals on Wheels.
