If we’ve said it once, we’ll say it a thousand times: self-care is essential not only to a caregiver’s mental health, but to their ability to provide quality care.

If it’s time for you to cut down on your alcohol intake, you don’t have to feel like you are missing out. These days, there are plenty of delicious alternatives […]

We don’t tend to realize how much balance impacts our day-to-day life until it becomes a problem. If we struggle with balance, it isn’t just a matter of feeling dizzy. It leads to issues with standing, walking, and generally moving about one’s environment without falling. This can impede upon one’s ability to carry out their daily activities and remain independent at home. Balance Awareness Week, which is the third week in September, strives to recognize this. For seniors, balance problems can arise for a number of reasons—from medication, to vertigo, […]
