We often seem to relate a rainy day with a somber mood. Vice versa, we seem to relate a beautiful day with a positive attitude and a feeling of encouragement. That being said, is the weather an actual contributor to the way we feel on a seasonal basis? We will be discussing that concept and more while also pointing out some clinical facts that have been analyzed over the past forty years or so.
When trying to decide which medical alert system to choose, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming. There are several providers to choose from and a host of review websites to comb through. While review sites give you some very good information, you also need to be aware that a medical alert system provider may be the #1 choice on one review site but #6 on another. One of the best ways to see how a company performs is by reading reviews on Google and other sources such as Trust Pilot. Our Reviews and Recognition page includes both.

We all know that our ability to live long, independent lives depends on staying healthy and injury free as we age. As we get older, our stability and strength begins to decrease, raising the risk of serious injury due to falling. That’s why September has been designated, among other things, as fall prevention month.
July 4th, also known as Independence Day is filled with family, fun and fireworks. Barbequing in the back yard while swimming or sitting around a bonfire have become summer traditions while celebrating our nations freedom from Great Britain. Although the fireworks, hamburgers and hotdogs fresh off the grill make for a wonderful holiday, there are certain details about July Fourth that many may not know.

While being out in the sun is a lot of fun, it’s important to remember that you may experience one of two potentially serious conditions - heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Knowing the difference between them and how to address them is crucial.
Aging is one of the most common reasons for bad eyesight and blurry vision. When we age, it is harder for us to see the world as crystal clear as we used to when we were younger. While minor vision changes are normal as one grows older, making regular eye doctor appointments is advisable to prevent the issue from escalating into a major eye problem.
Spring officially arrived on March 20th and with that comes better weather and the chance to venture outside and enjoy it. Many parts of the country have been dealing with snow and bitter cold temperatures over the past months and with that, our senior population tends to slow down while spending more time inside. However, spring brings the opportunity to rejuvenate your health by getting outside and becoming more active. It also means enjoying the warmth of the sun and breathing in the fresh air. Here are a few tips for our seniors (and caregivers) to help invigorate their health this spring.
It’s not your imagination if you feel more tired after you “spring forward” in March. Daylight savings time begins on March 13 this year at 2 AM, meaning once you go to bed for the night, you lose an hour of sleep. Coincidently, Sleep Awareness Week also occurs the week of March 13th through the 19th. Although there are benefits such as longer daylight and the anticipation that spring and summer are on their way, it can take a toll on your mind and body. As daylight savings time (DST) approaches, it’s important to understand the effect it can have on a person.
