Do I Have Hearing Loss?

The first noticeable sign of hearing loss is often difficulty in communication between two people. It can be frustrating to both sides when one person is repeating themselves. When communicating with a person who has hearing loss, volume is not always the biggest concern; speed and articulation of the words can be more a factor. Eye contact, a slightly slower pace of talking and clarity of words is crucial. If you suspect that you or a loved one has hearing loss, a hearing professional can help you experience an improved quality of life. Contact us today to learn more.

Hair Care Habits to Prevent Hair Loss

Protect your strands and prevent hair loss with these hair care habits. Be gentle when washing and drying to avoid breakage, especially when hair is wet and fragile. Use mild shampoo and conditioner, avoiding hot water. Massage your scalp regularly to stimulate blood flow and promote healthy hair growth. Minimize heat styling and embrace natural drying methods. Nourish your hair from within with a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Avoid excessive tension through tight hairstyles or constant pulling. By caring for your hair diligently, you’ll maintain its strength and prevent unwanted hair loss.

Aging at Home

Many seniors would prefer to stay at home than move into a care facility, but there are some challenges to consider: finances, physical mobility, social network, health concerns, and safety in the home. If your aging loved one decides to remain at home, discuss plans as a family and possibly with a trusted advisor. It’s important to ensure your parent(s) can live comfortably and safely at home, using various services, aids and tools to make things easier. Especially for clients with dementia, in-home care can also provide much-needed day-to-day practical and emotional support, as well as an escort on outings.
