🧠 1 in 7 men aged 70+ lives with a mental health disorder, yet many go undiagnosed due to stigma and silence.

💔 Loneliness affects nearly 25% of older adults, increasing the risk of depression, heart disease, and even early death.

This November, let’s change the narrative.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Encourage the senior men in your life to talk, connect, and seek support. Whether it’s a coffee chat, a walk, or a wellness check, your presence can make a difference.

Let’s show up for them.

Honoring Our Veterans

Today we pause to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.

But the truth is — their service and sacrifice isn’t contained to just one day a year.

Veterans carry their experiences, their courage, and their sacrifice with them every single day.

Some bear visible scars; many carry invisible ones. Yet, veterans continue to show up day after day for their families, their communities, and their work with dedication, humility and strength.

That’s just what warriors do.

This example teaches us:

✅ Veterans do not seek the limelight

✅ True service is quiet, humble and steady

✅ Sacrifice is not a part time behavior, it lasts long after the uniform is folded

✅ Freedom is protected by ordinary people doing extraordinary things

So while we’re grateful on Veterans Day, may we also remember our warriors on the ordinary days… the Tuesdays in June, the early mornings, when we read a news story from a far away land involving a veteran and their family, and all the moments in between — when no one is watching.

To all Veterans:

On behalf of all Homewatch Caregivers of Mooresville Homewatch CareGivers and the communities we serve…

Thank you for protecting what many of us will never fully understand.

Thank you for the pieces of yourselves that service demanded.

Thank you for continuing to lead, love, and live with purpose.

We honor you today — and every day.

Thank you. ❤️

🇺🇸 This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who served our country with strength, courage, and sacrifice.

To every veteran: thank you for your service.

We recognize your dedication—and we’re here to support your next chapter.

Whether it’s help with mobility, home safety, or staying active and connected, our mission is to help veterans age with dignity and independence in the homes they love.

🫶 You served us. Now we serve you.

Getting support for aging in place, whether it be home additions or caregiver support, can be hard for a lot of people. But getting this kind of help now makes the overall transition easier and allows those who need it to stay comfortable in their own home and routines.

If someone you care about is hesitant about aging in place care, share this with them. Let them know you – and our compassionate caregivers – are here to make life easier, safer, and more comfortable. 💛

Did you know that su***de rates are nearly 4x higher in men aged 75+ than in women of the same age? And that 23% of men over 75 live alone, often facing loneliness, depression, and declining physical health without support?

Meanwhile, over 40% of men 65+ have high blood pressure, and many are at increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and prostate cancer. Yet, men are less likely to seek help or attend regular checkups.

This November, let’s break the silence 💛

Encourage the senior men in your life to prioritize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Support can be as simple as a walk together, a check-in call, or helping them schedule a screening.

Health is strength. Connection is care.

And just like that...October sneaks up on us (Boo!), and we fly into fall like a witch on her broom. Welcome to cooler fall days, college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays, baseball playoff season, firepit evenings, and leaves changing and falling. Check out all the fun fall activities in our Halloween Fun Guide and local events guide and our article on the N.C. State Fair that is starting in a few weeks.

We are excited to highlight the Deal Family of the Canvasback Road community, Brenda & Don and their son Sam, who met at IBM and started as roommates and best friends. Brenda is the founder of the Dove House Children's Advocacy Center, an amazing nonprofit safe harbor in our community for abused children and both are very active in their church and our Mooresville community. The Dove House is also our Lakeside Giving nonprofit spotlight this month. It is also important to mention they are all big Buckeye Fans with Don and his son hailing from Ohio and Brenda from Vermont and N.J. but quickly adopted into the Buckeye traditions.

Also in this month's issue, resident historian Andy Poore of the Mooresville Public Library shares the history of Willow Valley graveyard, Captain John Johnson shares October lake activities, the Town of Mooresville NC highlights our K-9 officers, and our resident teen reporter, Tessa Rosenberg, cracks the code on local escape rooms. Our business spotlight is on Calm Waters Dentistry, Dr. Nick Wentworth and their brand new office at exit 33 at Rte. 21 and Medical Park Road.

Our local experts educate us on various topics, including explaining emotional wellness in seniors by Martin Conway of Homewatch CareGivers, the importance of recovery in your wellness plan by Janet Martin of Your Personal Best Fitness Studio Mooresville, how hearing loss is linked to dementia by Harlan Cato of Beltone Hearing Aid Center, the benefits of energy-efficient windows by Doug Lampert of Renewal by Andersen of the Carolinas, and how to get trail ready and where to ride your off-road ATVs or Can Ams in North Carolina by Susan Newsome of Lake Norman Power Sports.

In addition to all of our local business sponsors, we want to thank and welcome our new sponsors Aruza Pest Control, Window Genie of Lake Norman, and MNS Construction Inc. to the Lakeside Living family! Please use our local sponsors for your home and retail needs, as their support keeps our community publication mailing for free to our Mooresville neighborhoods. If you know any businesses who want to connect in our LKN communities, please share our local magazines with them! Since we are private to the 28117 communities, few businesses know we are here and a great place to advertise.

As you peruse our latest issue with your pumpkin-spice latte or apple cinnamon chai, please remember we welcome all ideas and suggestions, especially for residents we should feature and are always looking for recipes, pets to showcase, Veterans and students to highlight in our special Honoring Veterans and Back-to-School issues, and nonprofits or neighbors who give back for our Lakeside Giving feature.

Happy Fall Y'All!

Homewatch CareGivers are delighted to be able to help introduce this new program with the wonderful Ann Bennett and our colleagues at the Iredell Council on Aging.

Aimed at providing a regular & convenient space for our Mooresville senior community to remember, talk, listen, be heard and to be around others if that is what they need...we are honored to be able to help.

How we treat people matters & how we care for our neighbors can look like many different things.

A wave, taking out or bringing in the garbage, a brief conversation in the driveway, dropping off a meal or providing a space for people to be seen & heard.

Homewatch CareGivers are proud to live, work and contribute in Mooresville, and are grateful to the Iredell Council on Aging for all they do to help care for and support our local senior community across Iredell county.

Please see attached flyer for details and call us at 704-503-4660 if you have any questions.
