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!

Thank you , thank you, thank you Home Instead Halifax for your generosity. These gifts are en route to some wonderful folks we know!

Congratulations to Jillian on being nominated as our December Care Professional of the Month. Thank you for all you do for your clients, Jillian! 👏

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.

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!

Congratulations to Kuda on being nominated as our March Care Professional of the Month. Thank you for all you do for your clients, Kuda! 🎉👏

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.

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.

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!

With all the beautiful summer temperatures, it is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Remember to stay hydrated! ☀ Keep reading for tips to stay safe in the warmer weather: homeinstead.ca/location/3008/…

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.” homeinstead.ca/location/3008/…

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 ☀️
