Winter Safety for Seniors
Winter can be a tough time for everyone, but especially seniors, with hazards like ice and snow putting them at risk of falls and injuries. Some ways that seniors can stay safe in the winter include: 1) Staying warm – wear comfortable, waterproof, warm clothing and accessories when outdoors to prevent hypothermia and frostbite. 2) Asking for help – if you have health issues, get help from loved ones for shoveling, snowblowing, etc. 3) Walking safely – wear boots that have good non-slip soles and use a walking aid, if needed. Walk slowly on icy, uneven surfaces and walk with a buddy!

Disability Tax Credit Eligibility
When people have restrictions, physically or mentally, they may be entitled to apply for a tax credit. There are different ways in which a person can be eligible for the disability tax credit (DTC). In all cases, the impairment must be prolonged. Also, the person must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Is markedly restricted in at least one of the basic activities of daily living. 2. Is significantly restricted in two or more or the basic activities of daily living (can include a vision impairment). 3. Needs life-sustaining therapy. The credit can allow a person $2500 in tax savings each year as well as a $20,000 Lump Sum Refund. Expert help is available in applying for this substantial tax credit.
Benefits of Home Care
Using home care assistance ensures that your loved one has the essential care they require, based on their unique circumstances, preferences and needs. Home care assistance is generally provided by home health aides, licensed caregivers or nurses. By definition, home care assistance is one-on-one. Sharing the caregiving responsibility is integral in preventing caregiver fatigue, while also offering your loved one companionship when you aren’t able to be there. Knowing your loved one is in the safe and familiar environment of their own home will provide both you and your loved one with much-needed peace of mind.

Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy
Why is chiropractic care so important during pregnancy? At its most basic premise, chiropractic will help you and your nervous system adapt during this major shift. It will help you deal with structural, hormonal and emotional stressors. Structurally, chiropractic will help keep your joints moving appropriately so you can make room for your growing baby. When the pelvis and low back vertebrae are moving appropriately, information can freely flow to all your muscles and organs, via your nerves. This may result in less pain and more nutrients to baby. Other benefits often seen in pregnant women under chiropractic care include headache relief, decrease in nausea and overall stress reduction. We are so honoured to check and adjust women during this monumental time in their lives.
Seniors and Holiday Stress
The holiday season is exciting, but it can also be a stressful time for seniors. Busy family gatherings can be tiring, and the holidays can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, and even grief. Seniors can make the holiday season less stressful by: 1) Making time for yourself. It may be tempting to accept every holiday invitation you get, but it’s important to leave yourself some downtime. 2) Letting family know what you need. If you have dietary restrictions, mobility needs, etc., be sure to talk to your loved ones. 3) Staying present and positive. Enjoy the little things.
