Time management tips for seniors and elders: An in-home care companion can help a senior free up some time, assisting with daily chores, meal preparation, errands, grooming, and other tasks. Seniors can further reduce the stress that comes from demands on their time by practicing time management.
Just because you are getting older, it does not mean you have to look it—or feel it. With a little effort, you can slow the telltale signs of aging. Research and senior citizens who exercise and eat a good, balanced diet are proving this. Here are some steps for Toronto's seniors to fight off aging the natural way.
One of the most difficult parts of growing older is losing long-time friends. Life can get lonely as we age. This is when having a companion can help ease the symptoms of loneliness and allow life to be more enjoyable and satisfying. Comfort Keepers of Canada® at Toronto’s Interactive Caregiving™ program provides seniors with not only companionship to ease the lonely days and nights, but also assists with the tasks of daily living.
Our bodies, including our minds, deteriorate as we age. Having said that, there are many things we can do to decrease and even prevent the deterioration process. Comfort Keepers of Canada® has put together a list of exercises and activities that can help seniors remain mentally sharp as they age.
Aging has a cumulative effect; what you do in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s directly affects your health in your 60’s, 70’s, and hopefully 80’s. The key is to lead a healthy lifestyle from the start, but that isn’t always realistic. There are ways that seniors and the elderly can improve their daily lives and help fight off aging and illnesses.
With cold and flu season just around the corner, the topic of immunizations, or vaccinations, comes to mind. Seniors and the elderly often have a more difficult time during flu and cold season for various reasons; chronic conditions, compromised immune systems, and just aging immune systems all play a part in increasing a seniors risk of contracting colds, the flu, or pneumonia during the fall, winter, and even spring months.
Having a loved one who suffers from a heart attack or stroke can put a significant amount of stress on the caregivers and family. Recovery is complicated and lengthy, with multiple factors in play, and many times things are just too hard for the family caregivers to handle on their own. Comfort Keepers of Canada® has compiled a list of resources to help you understand the recovery process and seek help if needed.
Getting the proper nutrition just isn’t as easy as it used to be, but given the human body’s decline towards the later part of life, those nutrient rich foods are needed now for Toronto's seniors and elders more than ever. Comfort Keepers® of Toronto gives recommendations for seniors to ensure their diet contains all necessary vitamins and nutrients.
