A simple offer to help can mean the world to someone. Many older adults count on the kindness of those around them — especially in places like the grocery store.

Grateful for the opportunity to share my business with the Moore County Senior Enrichment Center yesterday! ❤️ It's wonderful to live in an area that supports its seniors and caregivers. Thanks to everyone who came by!

The CDC estimates that up to 80% of falls among older adults happen in the bathroom, leading to around 200,000 injuries each year. Slippery tiles, toilets, sinks, and tubs all increase the risk of trips, slips, and dangerous falls.

That’s why reducing risks in this space is so important — and the good news is, simple changes can make a big difference.

Tip 1 – Low-profile non-slip bathmat
Choose a thin (low profile) non-slip mat so walker wheels can glide over it easily, reducing the chance of tripping. These mats also absorb water as you step out of the shower. If sliding is a concern, consider adding double-sided tape (though many mats already have a rubber bottom to prevent slipping).

Tip 2 – Antimicrobial non-slip shower mat
These are safer than standard plastic or suction mats—they resist mold and provide excellent grip while you’re standing in the shower, lowering slip risk.

Tip 3 – Wall-mounted, properly installed grab bars
Always opt for grab bars anchored into studs. Don’t trust suction or pop-on supports. Each bathroom, person, and height is different, so placement should be customized. Occupational therapists (my background) are professionals who can advise in grab bar placement as well as ADA trained contractors.

Tip 4 – Raised toilet seat with arm supports
There are various styles (e.g. 3-in-1 commodes, bariatric models, installable rails), but always choose one that’s stable and grounded. Some less secure versions can pop off if weight is shifted unevenly. Talk with a professional to choose a safe option.

Tip 5 – Shower chair or tub transfer bench
Aim for adjustable height, wide base support (to reduce tipping), and dimensions that match your shower. A tub transfer bench lets you sit first, then swing your legs in—just make sure it’s compatible with your setup (e.g. use it with curtain setups rather than glass doors, when needed).

Tip 6 – Wear a medical alert / keep call button within reach
This is especially important for those who shower or bathe alone. Many medical alert devices are water-safe, so you’re covered even in wet areas. And if in a facility — make sure the call bell is reachable while showering.

Safety and independence are both important, but the real goal is quality of life. Aging well means finding the balance that allows older adults to live with dignity, joy, and peace of mind.

Grateful for the opportunity to present Peace of Mind Aging Consulting’s services to the FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital discharge planning team. Our mission is to help older adults and their families navigate aging with confidence — whether that means aging in place, connecting with local resources, or finding the right senior living community. It was a privilege to share how we can partner together to support patients as they transition home or to the next level of care.

So thrilled to hear of the amazing work Dr. Karen D. Sullivan with the Engaged Brain Project in Moore County. I love this initiative with dementia friendly community engagement. ❤️ Be sure to spread the word!

Summertime is synonymous with escaping the heat into the cool theater to catch a movie with friends with a bucket of hot, buttered popcorn and a bubbling, ice-cold soda. Memories like those carefree summer days are what Sunrise Theater and The Engaged Brains Project hope to evoke for attendees livin...

📖✨ Every life holds a story worth preserving. ✨📖

As we age, many of us feel the natural pull to look back — to reflect, make meaning, and share what we’ve learned. It’s not just storytelling — it’s an essential phase of aging called life review, and it can be healing, joyful, and deeply connecting.

We’re honored to now offer Memoir & Life Story Writing to help older adults capture their memories, values, and voice — creating a lasting gift for generations to come.

📦 Packages vary based on:
✔️ Length of the story
✔️ Inclusion of photos or media
✔️ Optional audio/video elements

💰 Sliding scale pricing available — because every story deserves to be told.

Let’s honor a life well lived — one page at a time. 💜
