Oral frailty, often seen in older adults, involves reduced oral health and function, which can impact overall well-being. Dentures play a crucial role in managing oral frailty. Well-fitting dentures help maintain proper chewing ability, improve speech, and support facial structure, which can contribute to better nutrition and quality of life. However, if dentures are not properly fitted or maintained, they can exacerbate oral frailty by causing discomfort, making eating and speaking difficult, and potentially leading to additional oral health issues like sores or infections. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure dentures address and not worsen oral frailty.

Victoria is more than just a beautiful city! It’s a city where seniors play an active and vital role. Whether volunteering at local charities, mentoring younger generations, creating art, leading community initiatives, or sharing decades of knowledge and experience, Victoria’s seniors are a unique and inviting bunch. On National Seniors Day, Comfort Keepers pause to celebrate these contributions and acknowledge the challenges many older adults face with ageism, isolation, health issues, and increasing living costs. It’s also a time to renew our commitment to building an age-friendly city! A place everyone can age with dignity, purpose, and connection.

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.
