Done & Done Family Concierge Services, Part Three: Caregiver Burnout

Caring for another can be very overwhelming, often at the expense of our own personal needs. Though our actions are well intended, we are often the last to realize that our limit has been reached. Stress can take a huge toll on our physical & emotional well being. We all need assistance at different times in our lives. Though difficult, we must reach out and accept help! There are friends, family, neighbours, support groups, organizations, professionals – a wide variety of resources available that may provide the support you require. We take pride in supporting families, and are always on the lookout for Great Clients.

Re-New Mobility has been the number one choice in the community for helping seniors and people with mobility problems. We have an amazing selection of home health care products. One of our popular products is the Lift Chair. Lift chairs come in many styles and sizes. Being properly fitted is very important for safety. We make sure that you are truly aware that one size does not fit all. Each chair is made for certain height and weight capacities. There are various quality manufacturers that offer power lift chairs. We will help you determine the best chair for the particular need. Many chairs lay down in a full sleeper position. Zero gravity positions offer many benefits such as back relief, improved circulation, and expanded lung capacity. Also, many chairs are the standard 2 and 3 way positions. There is virtually no limit in style and comfort in today’s lift chairs.

The Chakras connects us to our bodies’ wisdom. When we understand the chakra system it allows us to have an emotional mapping of our body and learn what it is saying. Each of the 7 chakras connects to specific organs, emotional beliefs and healing patterns in our bodies. We can think of each chakra as a disk that contains programming information about our lives and how to live it.

For example; the base chakra contains our “survival programming” how we trust, get our needs met and feel safe in the world. Our second chakra is about receiving pleasure and expressing our emotions. Our third chakra is our power centre and how we digest information and trust our guts. Knowing what our bodies are saying and needing frees us from dis-ease and brings energy and life force into our lives.

Join us for Chakra workshop held March 19th 6:30-9:30pm and March 20th 9-4pm.

Part Two: Elders at home

Most of us enjoy the surroundings of our own home, and seniors are no exception. Assisted living has its benefits, but can be an expensive and unwelcome change. There is help available, but many find that existing home care services are limited in their ability to assist. A ride to an appointment, help with groceries, and tackling yard work could result in 3 different people in & out of the home. It can be difficult to fill all these needs.  Homeowners prefer full service from a familiar face.  Helping our clients solve these challenges is what we love to do. We are always on the lookout for Great Clients!

Chocolates, flowers and dinner are wonderful ways to wine and dine your love one on Valentines day, but even more importantly how are you carving out some well deserved quality couple time on an ongoing basis the other 51 weeks a year? In today’s multi-tasking world, it is easy to get caught up in the have to’s, must do’s and should do’s of a busy schedule.

What often gets forgotten or taken for granted is making the time to cherish each other in our every day interactions. It’s strange as we don’t seem to forget to give our cars a tune up and fill them up with gas on a regular basis, yet so many of us forget to take the time to pause and remind our beloved how much we care and love them. Being a couple in a healthy relationship requires time, effort and energy…why not begin refueling this month!
