Stress is a natural part of everyday life. Stress is also among the number one causes of all kinds of health concerns, including sleep deprivation, changes in appetite, illness, anxiety, and depression. One of the greatest ways to combat these stress symptoms is to implement a self-care plan that is done regularly in your life. Self-care strategies include doing activities that you enjoy regularly. Like when a flight attendant does the safety brief and asks you to put on your oxygen mask first before helping others, it is important to ensure your health and wellness are a priority.

Aging at Home
Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a senior care home, but there are some challenges to consider. Factors like finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home are all things to think about. If you decide to remain in your home, discuss your plans with your family or a trusted advisor. It’s important to prepare your home to ensure you can live comfortably and safely there, using various aids and tools to make things easier. In-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day support, as well as transportation to appointments and gatherings.
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.

Mediation Begins the Healing
June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Elder abuse and neglect (including self-neglect) are issues that can be mediated. These important conversations include any form of abuse: physical, emotional, financial, and psychological, to name just a few. Mediating, listening to all parties equally, without bias, can bring options. Early, preventative steps are made toward understanding, agreement, and resolution. Everyone has a voice, and everyone can begin healing. That is what effective mediation brings. Healing can bring peace of mind. Contact me for a free consultation.

Advanced Denture Technology
Tooth loss is common with age. Fortunately, modern dentures can restore your smile and confidence. Thanks to digital technology like 3D scanning and printing, today’s dentures offer a more precise fit, greater comfort, and a natural appearance. They help seniors eat better, speak clearly, and maintain facial structure. Digital tools make the process faster and more accurate, ensuring a high-quality result. Dentures are more than cosmetic—they’re essential for maintaining nutrition, speech, and overall well-being. If you or a loved one is experiencing tooth loss, talk to your dentist/denturist about advanced denture solutions that blend comfort, function, and modern innovation.
Stress-Free Moving
Home is where the heart is…even if you can’t remember which box you packed it in!”
We can relate to the stress of moving. Not only does it mean uprooting your life, but if the move is to a smaller residence, a huge part of the work is downsizing a ton of possessions that have accumulated for years, perhaps even a lifetime. If you need to move, and just thinking about it keeps you up at nights, our team will take a mountain of anxiety off your shoulders and get all of it done for you; professionally, safely, and quickly.
