Are your lower dentures not fitting as well as they used to? Getting the denture relined might help. However, there comes a time when due to normal bone loss of the lower jaw, a reline won’t help anymore. The most life changing procedure you can have done is some implants in the lower jaw to retain your denture. Patients will find that they are now able to talk, eat and have more confidence than they ever have had. In addition, the placement of the implants will stop the bone loss. This procedure is truly an investment in your happiness and health.

Tips on Healthy Eating!
Healthy eating habits are more than just the foods we eat. Be mindful of your eating habits; take the time to eat throughout the day and notice when you are hungry or full. Try setting regular break and lunch times without distractions during the day so you can focus on your nutrition. Make water your drink of choice. Try drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning and between and with each meal throughout the day. Filling up a water bottle before you start your day and keeping it nearby will help remind you. You may be surprised at how energized you feel when you are properly hydrated.
Preventing Falls
With colder weather comes slippery sidewalks. Falls prevention is key in maintaining health and longevity. Keep your body active to keep your balance. Take a look at your rugs, flooring, lights and stairs. If the rug is curling fix it or get rid of it! If the lighting is poor install higher wattage bulbs. If the stairs are not safe, install a railing or look into a stair lift. Monitor blood pressure, stay hydrated and take medications as directed. Look down and make sure you are wearing well fitting foot wear. Prevention is always better than recovery. Call Comfort Keepers today, we can help!

Health is a Precious Asset
The arrival of the new year brings new ideas, excitement and New Year’s resolutions. 2020 brought into focus the realization that health is our most precious asset. In the upcoming year, many of us choose to adopt healthy habits including revamping our diets and exercise. Reducing risk factors are another way to improve our health. We participate in risk reduction by wearing masks and physical distancing. For seniors, one of the biggest risk factors is not being able to quickly access help in an emergency. Whether fall or other emergency, quick access to help is directly correlated to improved outcomes.
Regenerate Your Back
When your back chronically hurts you are told it is a sign of aging and degeneration, which is very true … but did you know there is a method of treatment to regenerate your back? Acupuncture and ozone therapy results in about 75% of chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain free. Chronic pain occurs in areas of the body that contain ligaments, cartilage or articular surfaces which makes them especially vulnerable to the effects of decreased oxygen utilization and aging. Ozone gives the tissues what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established.

Benefits of Fulvic Minerals
“When I started using Fulvic Minerals, my life changed overnight. I started sleeping, my body seemed to go into repair mode and I started to feel more like my old self”. When I receive testimonials like this, I am reminded that our body is supposed to have the essential nutrients required to bring us back to homeostasis. If our soil is depleted of these essential nutrients, that is when supplementation comes in. When considering starting to take any supplement, it’s important to know why you are taking it and if it interacts with anything else you are taking. I can help.
A Safe Environment
The primary focus during 2020 was to keep everyone safe. This was especially vital in a community of elderly residents with staff and essential visitors coming and going. The pandemic has made the use of masks, self-distancing and disinfecting our hands an ordinary part of our day. Coronavirus has also brought to our community a sense of slowing down. In our day-to-day interactions with each other, we now understand the importance of caring, having compassion, empathy and patience, treating everyone with kindness and having strength and creativity. In 2021, we will continue to offer a safe environment to our residents as they “age in place”.
Bereavement and Grief Support
Honouring the life of a loved one is always a unique situation. During our current pandemic situation, stress and overwhelm can increase, making bereavement and grief support more important than ever. Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens and Arbor Memorial offers numerous supports to help you cope with the loss of a family member or friend. Online support groups provide an opportunity for grievers to offer support to one another regardless of their geographic location. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges involving traditional funeral arrangements, our funeral staff is committed to providing safe opportunities for final goodbyes.
