We Prioritize our Veterans
Veterans are those who have served in order to honor and protect their country. As these individuals boldly practiced their beliefs in freedom, they inadvertently rewrote history, and we as Americans honor these patriots who were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice.
Fall Prevention
Too often, falls are seen as inevitable. Home care providers know they aren’t.
Out of fear, older adults who have been diagnosed with conditions that increase the likelihood of falling may become inactive. Family members may begin looking into residential care — especially in cases where one fall has already occurred.

Connecting patients with life-saving bone marrow donors
Every three minutes, one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. That’s more than six people each hour, or 148 people each day. Patients are searching for a cure. It could be you.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
The best way to prevent and slow down any transmission is to be well informed about the disease and how virus is spread. Protect yourself and others from infection by staying at least 1 metre apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently. Get vaccinated when it’s your turn and follow local guidance.
Alzheimer's and Dementia
Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Memory Care is a topic which is affecting larger numbers of the population these days. Many forget that like most chronic illnesses Alzheimer’s also affects the spouse, and entire family who care for their loved one. The illness can progress over a decade or more. These can have an impact on both, the individual and the broader family.
Abuse is NEVER okay
The abuse of older people, also known as elder abuse, is a single or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. This type of violence constitutes a violation of human rights and includes physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse; financial and material abuse; abandonment; neglect; and serious loss of dignity and respect.
