The beauty in summer isn’t just the sunshine: it’s the small rituals that come with it. A porch chat at dusk. Iced tea in a favorite glass. A breeze through the open window.

But for older adults, summer also brings safety risks that can turn those beautiful moments into dangerous ones.

At FirstLight, we help seniors enjoy summer safely, so those small moments stay sweet, not stressful.

“She goes above and beyond in every area.” It’s a short statement that speaks volumes about our Caregiver of the Year, Jackie Walker.

Janice Bayruns, co-owner of FirstLight Home Care Riverview, Florida, adds, “When it comes to caregiving skills, Jackie has that special touch that can't be taught. The way she works with our clients who have dementia is nothing short of amazing. She doesn't just provide care, she brings life and laughter to their days through games, activities, and conversations that really connect with them.”

Thank you, Jackie, for the joy you provide to all of us. Your approach to care truly exemplifies our mission to help people have their best day, every day.

Think that getting older means less happiness? Think again! It’s time to defy the stereotypes and celebrate the perks that come with age.

A Gallup poll found that people get happier after age 50. And, Merrill Lynch reported that 70% of adults over age 65 feel relaxed more often than not.

Just like these myths about aging, senior care shouldn’t be stereotyped either. At FirstLight Home Care, we believe in personalized care that celebrates independence, joy, and dignity at every stage of life.

Good balance is key to staying active, independent and safe. Here are three exercises to support your loved one, tailored to their fitness level:

Level 1 (easy): Have them practice walking heel-to-toe (like a straight line) across the room.

Level 2 (medium): Ready to take it up a notch? Encourage leg raises or standing on one foot (with a chair nearby for support).

Level 3 (challenging): Work on core strength with seated marches or modified planks.

Small efforts can make a big difference in preventing falls and boosting confidence!
