A lack of mobility may cause someone to neglect not just their living space, but their personal hygiene and well-being as well. What is more, older adults who lose their mobility have higher rates of disease, disability, hospitalization and death. Overall, they report a poorer quality of life than others.

Nostalgia is a great communication aid for professional and family caregivers alike. Activities like looking through photos can help trigger long-term memories, boost mood through recall of positive moments and bond over shared experiences. It’s also been noted that nostalgia can have a significant impact on reducing stress and anxiety.

Ageism is the one prejudice with a waiting list that includes everybody.

A few things every Canadian family should know:
➡️ 70% of Canadians aged 50+ experienced everyday ageism in the past year. Only 12% named it as discrimination.
➡️ It usually sounds kind. Slower speech, louder voice, "let me get that for you," a joke about senior moments.
➡️ It shows up in health care. When symptoms get filed under "just aging," real conditions go untreated.
➡️ It gets worse the more you already carry. Canadians over 80, in poor health, or struggling financially report the most of it.
➡️ Canadians underestimate it badly. The average guess is that 10% of people hold ageist views. The real figure is closer to half.
