Finding Joy

Everyone wants to be happy, but sometimes it can seem so out of reach! Happiness is not always an easy target. Maybe you are carrying around a sense of dissatisfaction, irritation, or disappointment that does not go away. Where does this come from? Is it how you are living now, or is it an old experience? Other people say, “Let it go,” but how do you do that?! How can you change the story? Counselling provides a safe, encouraging place to explore your options, including how to start connecting with what makes you feel satisfied and joyful.

Are You Staying Active?

The old saying “If you don’t use it, you lose it” has some truth to it. If you are active, you are doing yourself a huge favour to stave off falls, increase independence, and help prevent illnesses like stroke, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis. But what if you don’t like to exercise? Find something that you like to do! Walking with a friend, dancing, biking, and even mowing the lawn count. Start slow and enjoy it. This is the perfect time to be active. Comfort Keepers can help you stay active and get your life back on track.

Prevent Denture Sore Spots

To alleviate sore spots aggravated by dehydration and dry mouth, denture wearers can use soft liners in their dental prosthetics. Soft liners, composed of pliable materials like silicone, provide a cushioning layer between the denture and the gums, reducing pressure points and discomfort. This added softness can be especially beneficial for individuals experiencing dry mouth, as it helps mitigate the friction and irritation that can occur when oral tissues lack sufficient moisture. By incorporating soft liners, denture wearers can enhance comfort and reduce the likelihood of developing sore spots, resulting in better oral health and overall well-being.

Acupuncture for Skin & Digestive Health

July is an ideal month for vacations, offering a break from routine and a chance to focus on health. It’s the perfect time to take care of your skin, which is often exposed to the sun. Acupuncture can help improve skin health by enhancing circulation and reducing inflammation. This traditional Chinese practice also aids digestion, often disrupted during travel, by balancing the body’s energy. Incorporating acupuncture into your wellness routine can promote overall well-being, ensuring you return from your vacation rejuvenated and refreshed. Enjoy the summer, relax, and take steps to care for your body and mind.

Stress-Free Moving

“Home is where the heart is…even if you can’t remember which box you packed it in!”
We can relate to the stress of moving. Not only does it mean uprooting your life, but if the move is to a smaller residence, a huge part of the work is downsizing a ton of possessions that have accumulated for years, perhaps even a lifetime. If you need to move, and just thinking about it keeps you up at nights, our team will take a mountain of anxiety off your shoulders and get all of it done for you; professionally, safely, and quickly.

Hearing Aids & Summer

As temperatures rise, it’s important to understand how to take care of your hearing aids. Beware of Heat! Avoid putting your hearing aids in places that attract heat quickly – like the glove compartment or console in your car. Stay Away from Moisture! Remember to take your hearing aids out before swimming or if you’re caught in the rain. Keep ‘em Clean! Warm, humid weather creates a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. You can use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from your hearing aids. Follow these simple tips and get outside to enjoy the warm weather.

Interest Rate & Home Sales

Recently, the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate to 4.75%—the first reduction in four years! What does this mean to you? Any reduction causes buyers to jump into the market as affordability increases. It may also lead to more sellers coming to the market in order to take advantage of the change. But there is a “tipping point” between inventory and pricing: active listings are up 50% from 2023, but it’s still technically a seller’s market. Is there a move in your future?
