Brain Teaser Answer

It takes one elf 5 minutes to make one doll. Therefore 100 elves making 100 dolls would, of course, still take 5 minutes!

What is Personal Care?

Personal care includes services that help assist seniors and other individuals with various tasks and activities in their daily life, such as bathing, eating, walking and dressing. Services are customized based on the individual’s needs and include companionship that makes a day more pleasant – whether you’re at home or out in the community. Personal care is centered around a meaningful relationship that is built over time with a caring and responsive healthcare professional. It is important for your loved one to be able to live their lives in the way they want. We can help.

Dementia and Community Support

Whether you’ve noticed early signs of dementia, recently received a diagnosis, or are navigating the next stages of the disease, the Crossmount Memory Café is here to help support you and your loved one! With a mission to provide a social, supportive, and dementia-friendly network, our Café provides a twice-monthly opportunity for people living with dementia and their caregivers to come together for a morning of meaningful interaction and hands-on activities. Through active participation and engagement, participants have the opportunity to improve all domains of health, including physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual wellbeing.

Curb Holiday Sugar Over-Indulgence

With the holidays right around the corner, here are some tricks to minimize that over-indulgence. Try to keep up with your exercise regime to help your body process the excess sugars and calories and to keep feelings of bloating or indigestion down. Before a party, have a high-fibre snack to decrease the amount of sweets eaten and try to limit yourself to one cocktail and intersperse that with sparkling water. Drink warm lemon water with some added apple cider vinegar to support blood sugar and digestion, and add turmeric and ginger for anti-inflammatory effects. As for your cooking and baking, explore recipes with healthy sugar alternatives.
