There are many reasons why moving into a retirement residence can be a positive change. With plenty of healthy lifestyle options such as fitness room, community gardens, theatre rooms, nail & hair salon, and an in-house culinary team, retirement residences can help maintain not just physical health, but also mental and emotional health, since there are plenty of opportunities for socializing within the community. Large one-bedroom and two-bedroom private suites often allow some familiar home furnishings for additional comfort and customization. Residents have their independence and privacy but can also access support and transportation when needed. All our properties have adapted and are safely living together and supporting one another’s health and good spirits.

Considering Compression Stockings?
Compression is great for jobs with prolonged sitting or standing, pregnancy and pre and post-vein surgery. They are also great for everyday activities, like hiking, and jogging! Benefits include improving circulation, reducing swelling, and relieving achy and fatigued legs. Get them fitted by a trained professional and ensure the compression is graduated; strongest at the ankle and less as it moves up the leg. They come in various colors and styles to meet your needs and personal preferences. Most benefit plans cover medical compression stockings annually with a doctor’s prescription.

What’s In Your Products?
Did you know that parabens (methyl, butyl, ethyl, propyl), found in many personal care products, can disrupt the endocrine system affecting hormones in the body? This can harm fertility and reproductive organs, affecting birth outcomes, and increasing the risk of cancer. These chemicals are even found in baby products. 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed into our bodies. Skincare ingredients are not regulated, and almost any ingredient can be incorporated into a formula. The synthetic fragrances alone can be created with up to 3000 different chemicals. Essential oils, on the other hand, are beneficial to the body and can boost mood, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, reduce stress, along with many other benefits.
