🌿Well its Friday!!! Another week getting tucked into the books so to speak🌿

This week I focused my attention on Town of Minto Page and "hearing" what our fellow community members interests, concers and ideas were/ are in relation to aging and activities in the area. Really trying to see what our "Older" Adults wants and needs are.

I was asked today what age "Older" adults are lol. I was stumped in a sence that I work daily with individuals over 90. Not to often do i think thats old anymore. 😉

Our Local businesses sponsor public swims through the summer and this young lady mentioned Aqua swims!!!! What a fabulous idea. Thats what Lets Stay Home Care is all about!!!! While assisting with keeping our aging loved ones at home, I want to encourage them to stay active and fit too. I reached out to the town of Minto about this becoming a possibility for next summer. You never know where your seed comes from for the planting of your growing business. The lady that commented about Aqua swims sponsors , I sure hope she smile next year. I owe her a sponsored session 😀

Whats everyone's plans for the weekend??

Be sure to check in on your senior neighbors, you never know if they may need a bag of milk or their post office checked. Maybe they just need a simple "Im here"

Remember, if you or someone you may know could benefit with the assistance of Let’s Stay Home Care, Im a phone call, email or message close 😉. Never any obligation or pressure.

“Today reminded me that showing up for the people we care about matters—even during the busy and difficult seasons.”

Its a best blessing life has to offer!

🌿 I’m Still Here—Life Has Just Been Full

It has been a little quiet on this page, but life behind the screen certainly hasn’t been quiet.

Over the past week, I have been working at the nursing home, responding to emails from organizations excited about helping my Home care get started with my visions and an advertising opportunity that is excellent (but not quite at that point yet), creating new business cards and continuing to work behind the scenes on Let’s Stay Home Care.

In between all of that, I have also been living life.

I went to see David Wilcox and Kim Mitchell with my husband and friends—and we were gifted this beautiful double rainbow.

My youngest Grandson and I made a delicious peach upside down cake for my dad and spent some meaningful time with them both and my Daughter.

I attempted to catch up around the house while a fence is being built, and I remain incredibly grateful for my Daughter and Husband, who keep our home standing when I feel pulled in several directions or just need rest!

Caregiving, family, work, friendship and building a business do not always fit into neat little boxes. Sometimes being present where I am needed means social media becomes quiet for a few days.

But I am still here.

Still learning.
Still caring.
Still building.
And still believing deeply in the purpose behind Let’s Stay Home Care.

Thank you for continuing to be here too. 🧡

THANK YOU ❤️

🌿 Support Can Begin With One Small Visit

Home care does not always need to begin with several hours every day.

Sometimes a family simply needs a little dependable support with:

• Wellness and safety check-ins
• Bathing, hygiene and personal care
• Morning or evening routines
• Toileting and continence care
• Meal preparation and hydration
• Medication reminders
• Friendship and companionship
• Dementia-informed support
• Mobility and fall-prevention observations
• Respite for family caregivers
• Palliative and end-of-life comfort
• Communication about meaningful wellness changes

Let’s Stay Home Care provides consistent, one-to-one support from one certified and insured Personal Support Worker.

Care begins with listening and is shaped around the individual—not simply a list of tasks.

🏡 Why Early Home Care Planning Matters

Wellington Terrace has 176 licensed beds—and 711 people currently on its waiting list.

That number isn’t meant to frighten families. It is a gentle reminder that conversations about care are often better started before exhaustion or an unexpected crisis occurs.

A little support introduced early may help an older adult:

🌿 Maintain familiar routines
🌿 Remain safe and comfortable at home
🌿 Preserve independence and dignity
🌿 Stay connected with the people and activities they enjoy

It can also give family caregivers reassurance and time to rest.

Planning ahead does not mean making an immediate decision. Sometimes it simply means learning what support is available—so your family knows where to turn when the time comes.
