Benefits of Home Care for Seniors
For many Canadian seniors, home health care is a key part of aging safely at home. Whether seniors need medical services, personal care, transportation, housekeeping or companionship, home care can help them live independently at home, for as long as possible – and provide peace of mind to their families. At Bayshore HealthCare, we’ve been helping seniors age in place for over 50 years. Our customized care plans are designed to provide the support seniors need to continue to live in their own homes. Don’t wait until it is too late to decide what works best for you. Talk to your family about aging in place safely, with the supports you need.
Ask The Expert
Q: Why do my nosepads turn green on my glasses? It looks horrible.
A: This happens as the alloys in the nosepad apparatus react with facial oils and salts. Try to keep the eyeglasses clean. You may need to change the nosepads often, or next time go with a frame that doesn’t have them.
Effective Treatment for Tendon Injury
Tendonitis is an acutely inflamed/swollen tendon, while tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with necrotic tissue. Common tendon injuries include: Achilles tendonitis/osis, Plantar fasciitis/osis, Long Head of Biceps tendonitis/osis. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are applied to the tendon. It is designed to create breakdown and inflammation in the tendon to stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation). ESWT in conjunction with active rehabilitation & Class IV Laser has proven to be an effective treatment for the management of tendon injury.

The Multi-Generational Sandwich
If you’re currently caring for children still living at home while also caring for aging parents, then you are a member of the Sandwich Generation. According to Statistics Canada, more than two million Canadians are part of the Sandwich Generation. Our aging Baby Boomer population, and children staying in the family home until they are in their 20s, means that the Sandwich Generation is here to stay. As parents age and are no longer able to independently care for themselves, they will require extra assistance to enable them to stay at home. And that home may be your home, not theirs.
Shoulder Pain Relief
To eliminate the pain of frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries and to regenerate the joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture and Prolozone injection therapy are my treatment protocols. Hypoxia or the inadequacy of cellular oxygen reaching the body’s tissues causes degeneration in the ligaments. Prolozone is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck & back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative, arthritic hips,knees, degenerated discs, shoulder and elbow pain. Because in many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.

Q: I can never get my glasses clean, even when I try soap and water. What’s going on?
A: If your lenses seem permanently dirty, they might be damaged with small scratches or the coating might be wearing down. Another possibility
is that your own perspiration or facial oils may be smearing the lenses. Sometimes oils and grit can
lodge in between the lenses and the frame, and you made need to bring them to your optician to get
them cleaned properly. You may want to invest in some good quality lens cleaning solution and cloths.
