Our mission is to change the face of aging by providing personal, one-on-one support to older adults while enhancing lives of seniors aging in our community.
Join us in wishing Mr. M a very Happy 100th Birthday! 🥳

“I’ve retired a couple times now, but I find working, especially this job that I enjoy, keeps me invigorated. I’ll never be too old to discover a new mission in life. I want to continue making a positive impact on the lives of others.” - Tina B.

As summer comes to an end, it’s a great time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Care Pro Jillian has been visiting Mrs. W for almost a year now, and they have developed such a special bond. They enjoy doing many activities together. Here they are out for a walk ☀️
Is your aging loved one’s mood and behaviour changing a lot later in the day? If you’re caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, they may be experiencing “sundowning.” https://t.co/mDD8aIWxvF
With all the beautiful summer temperatures, it is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Remember to stay hydrated! ☀

For Caregiver Awareness Month, we want to thank and recognize all our Home Instead Care Pros and all of you family caregivers out there who care for and enhance the lives of aging adults. We will be forever grateful for the compassion and commitment that you demonstrate!
Our Care Pros are always thinking of ways to keep their clients active and their minds sharp. Jillian and Mrs. W, pictured here, are creating beautiful water paintings during their visit - a great way for aging adults to strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Today is World Health Day. At Home Instead, we encourage our Care Professionals and clients to stay healthy and active together. Pictured is Dr. A and Ashley who enjoy spending time outdoors together. Here they are welcoming Spring by hanging Dr. A's bird feeder.
Games are a great way for aging adults to keep their mind sharp and can be lots of fun to keep busy in the colder months. Pictured is Care Pro Tina and client Mr. C enjoying a game of cribbage!
We can all agree it can be difficult to stay active in the cold winter months. Pictured is Mr. V and Ingrid. They keep active indoors by challenging each other to a game of darts, which is a great way to move your body, work the brain and improve hand/eye coordination.

This week is special to us at Home Instead because it is Seniors Week. So we have an extra reason to celebrate those we serve! We appreciate each of you for your amazing contributions, wisdom, and support. Happy Seniors Week!
