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.

Be Safe in the Sun
Skin cancer is one of the most common and preventable forms of cancer. Apply SPF of at least 30 to 50 every two to four hours outdoors or riding in a car. Routinely wearing a quality pair of sunglasses protects the eyes from cataracts, a condition common among older adults. Look for a pair with a label showing they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. As we grow older, the body doesn’t adjust to changes in temperature and humidity as quickly as in younger days. This puts seniors at higher risk for dehydration and sun-related illnesses, like heat stroke, so make sure to keep hydrated!
When Death Occurs
No matter if a death is sudden or if it is something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering. It is a good idea to be aware of what needs to be done within the first 24 hours after death before a death occurs. Contact us or visit our website for a comprehensive list of things that must be done. We are here to help.
Fire Safety Tips
Here are tips for detecting a fire in your home and what to do so that everyone gets out safely: *Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms, and outside sleeping areas. *Test smoke alarms monthly. If they aren’t working, replace the batteries immediately. *Discuss a fire escape plan with your entire family and practice it at least twice a year to ensure everyone knows what to do. *In the event of a fire in your home, remember: GET OUT, STAY OUT, and CALL FOR HELP.

Importance of Lower Body Health
Let’s shed some light on an area of the body that is often neglected – your lower legs or feet! If you have pain in your feet, swollen legs, dry skin, or fungal nails, then it’s time to start looking down more often. These are conditions that put you at a higher risk of falls, wounds, decreased mobility, and infection and can indicate bigger systemic problems. Your legs are the canary in the cave, so keep looking down to prevent a collapse! Contact Comfort Keepers with the idea of getting out and about using those legs. We can help with footcare as well.
Seasonal Allergies?
It’s June! Your neighbours are cutting their grass, everything is blooming, and you are struggling with seasonal allergies! Allergies can be miserable, so here are some preventative measures: Avoid outdoor activities early in the morning. Don’t hang laundry out to dry. Check the weather forecast for pollen counts before heading out. When you come in from outdoors, take a shower and change your clothes. Ask for help with lawn care and flower beds, or wear a mask. If you have questions or think you may need medication for your allergy symptoms, please speak with your pharmacist today!
Avoiding Chronic Inflammation
It takes only 26 seconds for chemicals in personal care products to enter your bloodstream! Many everyday chemicals, found in household products, processed foods, and environmental pollutants, can trigger inflammatory responses in the body. These chemicals can disrupt hormonal balance, burden the liver, and contribute to the buildup of toxic substances in the bloodstream and on the skin. By minimizing contact with these chemicals—such as choosing safe personal care and cleaning products, eating organic foods, and avoiding processed items—you reduce the inflammatory burden on your body, allowing it to function more efficiently and promoting better health.

Rediscover Movement and Vitality After Injury

Neuromovement® lessons can help your brain renew its map and add new, healthier brain connections. Don’t merely focus on strengthening or stretching muscles; recover with the power of your brain! Contact me to learn how Neuromovement® lessons can help you regain vitality.
