Comprehensive Support

Having support after the loss of a loved one is incredibly valuable. Grieving is a deeply personal experience, and having help can make a significant difference in navigating the complex emotions and challenges that come with loss. Support can come in many forms: Practical support can help provide traction to get the necessary details started. Our funeral supports can provide help with all the documents that need to be filled and services cancelled. We are unique in the provision of our Estate Settlement Services. This service helps the family with all your documents. Ask our staff how we might be able to help you manage all the basic details during this difficult time.

Yoga, Ayurveda for Wellness

We are all trying to feel better with each choice we make, whether we are conscious of it or not. By taking small, gentle, well supported steps each day, we can improve the quality of our lives – from better sleep and digestion to better mobility, stamina, motivation, self-worth, state of mind, sense of purpose, and cessation of pain. Ayurveda, the science of living well, guides us in harmonizing with seasonal cycles and establishing profound connections with the world. Developed to support yoga, which removes obstacles to inner peace, daily Ayurveda and restorative yoga practices can transform your life by unveiling your inner bliss.

Seniors New Year’s Resolutions

A new year means it’s time for a fresh start! Why not use these New Year’s Resolutions as inspiration? 1) Challenge Your Brain – this is important for maintaining your cognitive skills and lowering your risk of memory loss. Play games, do puzzles, or learn a new language. 2) Exercise Daily – even just 10 minutes a day to start can make a difference. Aim to work up to 1 hour per day in the future. 3) Connect with Others – volunteer, join a seniors club. This can boost your mental well-being and confidence.

Making New Holiday Traditions

The first holiday season after a move to a senior community can sometimes be stressful and difficult for your senior loved one. Creating new traditions can help with the transition and make the holiday season less stressful for everyone. Although your family holiday events may have been held at your senior loved one’s home in the past, holding gatherings at another family member’s home going forward can make things easier. Have your senior loved one help with one or two tasks that keep them involved without overwhelming them, and take advantage of the many fun holiday events this season!

Holiday Dental Wellness Guide

Maintaining dental health during the holidays is crucial for a joyful season. Amid festive indulgences, be mindful of sugary treats, limiting their intake to protect teeth from decay. Stay hydrated to enhance saliva production, a natural defense against harmful bacteria. Ensure regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup, and consider sugar-free gum for a quick oral refresh. Moderation is key, as alcohol and acidic foods can erode enamel. Schedule a post-holiday dental checkup to address any concerns promptly. Prioritize oral care to keep your smile bright throughout the celebrations, promoting a healthy and happy holiday season.

Online Florist Selection

Ordering flowers online is convenient, but we have heard many stories of misleading costs, florals & deliveries. We believe this coincides with an increase of online flower order takers; who collect orders and forward them to actual florists to fulfill. These websites often appear first, after an online search & offer discounted prices. Increase your success when choosing a florist online: Investigate the website for a local address & phone number. Read the “About Us” section for a breakdown of their team. Creating flower arrangements for your friends and loved ones, or helping you find florists anywhere, are services we proudly offer.
