💚 January is Glaucoma Awareness Month 💚

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because vision loss can occur gradually, without pain or symptoms until it’s too late.

At Carousel of Home Care, we care deeply about helping our patients protect their vision and maintain independence. Regular eye exams are the best defense against glaucoma, especially for adults over 60 or those with a family history of the disease.

👁️ Simple steps to protect your sight:
- Schedule yearly eye exams
- Maintain a healthy diet and blood pressure
- Stay active and manage chronic conditions
- Take prescribed medications consistently
- Early detection makes all the difference

Let’s spread the word and help our loved ones see clearly for years to come. 💚

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip: Protecting Seniors from Winter Viruses 🌟

Winter viruses like flu and RSV are especially hard on seniors, and activity is currently high across much of the U.S.

To help keep your loved one safer this season:

- Encourage frequent handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after appointments or visitors.

- Limit close contact with anyone who is feeling sick, and kindly ask those with symptoms to delay in‑person visits.

- Keep a small “wellness station” at home stocked with tissues, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and masks for outings.

- Talk with their healthcare provider about staying up to date on recommended vaccines (flu, COVID‑19, and RSV when appropriate).

- Even just a quick midweek check-in: “Have we washed our hands? Are we stocked on supplies?”; can make winter a little safer and a lot less stressful for seniors and their caregivers.

🌟Wednesday Care Tip: Preparing for this Weekend’s Winter Storm🌟

A winter storm is expected this weekend and preparation is key, especially for seniors and those who need extra care.

Here are a few ways to stay safe and comfortable:

- Plan ahead: Gather flashlights, batteries, blankets, and extra medications in case of power outages.

- Stock essentials: Make sure there’s enough non-perishable food and bottled water for several days.

- Check in: If you have loved ones living alone, call or visit before the storm to ensure they’re prepared.

- Prevent slips: Keep entryways clear and use salt or sand to avoid icy falls.

Stay safe and warm this weekend! 💙

Today, Carousel of Home Care honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by reflecting on his call to serve others with compassion, courage, and love. His vision reminds us that every act of care, every visit, every helping hand, every moment of kindness, has the power to strengthen our community and lift one another up.​

In home care, service is more than a word; it is a daily commitment to dignity, respect, and support for seniors and their families right where they feel safest, at home. Let’s use this day as a reminder to continue building a more caring, inclusive community by showing up for our neighbors, checking in on those who may feel alone, and offering our time and hearts in service to our community.

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip: Beating The Winter Blues 🌟

Shorter, darker days can affect mood, especially for seniors. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that often appears in the fall and winter and can lead to low energy, sadness, and a loss of interest in daily activities.

Here are a few gentle ways caregivers can support winter mental health:

- Open curtains and sit near bright windows, and when it’s safe, enjoy a short walk outside during daylight to boost natural light exposure.

- Help maintain a steady routine with regular wake times, meals, and simple daily activities like reading, puzzles, or music to give each day structure.

- Encourage light movement such as walking, stretching, or chair exercises, which can improve mood and energy in older adults.

- Stay socially connected with regular visits, phone calls, or video chats to ease loneliness during the colder months.

If you notice lasting sadness, sleep changes, or loss of interest for more than a couple of weeks, encourage your loved one to talk with their healthcare provider. Seasonal affective disorder is treatable and help is always available.

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip: Simple Steps for a Smooth Blood Donation 🌟

Thinking about donating blood? Here are a few ways to make the experience easy and comfortable:

💧 Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after donating to help keep your blood pressure steady.

🍎 Eat Well: Enjoy a healthy meal rich in iron, think leafy greens, beans, or lean meats, to boost your energy and replenish iron levels.

🧘 Rest and Relax: Get a good night’s sleep beforehand and avoid heavy exercise right after donating.

🩹 Take Care Afterward: Keep your bandage on for a few hours and have a light snack to help your body recover.

A little preparation goes a long way toward making your donation safe and rewarding!

January is National Blood Donor Month! A time to highlight how vital blood donations are for people facing surgeries, accidents, or chronic illnesses. Even if you can’t donate yourself, you can help by spreading awareness or encouraging others who can.

❤️ Donating blood supports those in hospitals, emergency care, and even home recovery. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a meaningful difference in your community.
Remember: every drop counts, and every donation can help save a life!

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip: New Year’s Safety Tips For Seniors🌟

As you celebrate New Year’s, a few small steps can make a big difference in keeping seniors safe and comfortable at home:​

- Keep floors, hallways, and entryways free of clutter, loose rugs, extension cords, and decorations that could cause a trip or fall.​

- Use bright, consistent lighting and nightlights so changes from party lights or dim rooms do not affect depth perception or balance.

- Swap real candles for battery-operated ones, and keep all space heaters, fireplaces, and decorations away from things that can burn.​

- If someone uses home oxygen, keep them at least 5–10 feet away from candles, stoves, and any smoking or fireworks to reduce fire risk.​

- Watch for signs that the celebration is getting overwhelming; offer a quiet space, a chair to rest, and a glass of water so seniors can enjoy the night safely.​

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday!

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip: Show Up in Small Ways 🌟

The holidays can feel extra lonely for seniors and those facing illness, grief, or distance from family. A simple act of showing up, even in a small, tangible way, can have a meaningful impact.​

Here are a few gentle ways to show you care:

- Make a quick call or short visit just to say “I’m thinking of you” and listen for a few minutes.​
- Drop off a handwritten card, favorite snack, or cozy item like socks or a blanket to brighten their day.​
- Offer practical help, such as picking up groceries, mailing cards, or helping with a simple holiday task.​
- Invite them to join a holiday moment: a video call, a light drive, or watching a holiday movie together.​

At Carousel of Home Care, the heart of what we do is showing up with compassion, one small act at a time, because little gestures of kindness can make the season feel warmer and more hopeful for everyone.💙
