Just like how your body needs exercise, rest, and check-ups to stay healthy, your brain needs to be cared for in similar ways too! And no, that doesn’t mean just reading, puzzling, or learning – it also means exploring, listening, and practicing mindfulness.

Engaging the brain in these ways can reduce the risk of brain diseases, and even reverse some decline. Homewatch CareGivers providers will care for you or your loved one in ways that support brain health.

Listening is a critical part of person-centered care so that people feel understood and gain a sense of autonomy in their daily lives.

As we age, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain a healthy diet. This is usually because our digestion can slow, our conditions and medications can affect our diet, and our senses can fade, causing overconsumption of salt and sugar. All this while our overall calorie intake should be lower to match a more sedentary lifestyle. All of this can make it difficult to get the right nutrients in a manageable way because we all know that making healthy meals isn’t always so simple or easy! 🥘🍴

That’s why we work with Chefs for Seniors who offer meal services for those who need it!
