Had a great afternoon with Silver Wizard, talking about something that’s becoming part of everyday life for all of us- technology and AI.

Our presentation, “Aging Smarter: How Technology & Human Connection Can Make Everyday Life Easier,” focused on simple, practical ways technology can help older adults while keeping what matters most at the centre: human connection.

We explored how AI can be a practical and approachable tool for older adults -from answering everyday questions and helping with writing, to learning new things, planning activities, and staying connected. Most importantly, we talked about using technology thoughtfully and safely.

At FirstLight, we believe technology can support the care we provide, but the relationship always remains at the centre. 💚

A big thank you to Silver Wizard and to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and was open to discovering something new. It’s never too late to learn -and AI really can be for all ages!

Dementia doesn't just affect the person living with the diagnosis-it impacts entire families.

FirstLight Home Care North York was proud to be a partner and exhibitor at the screening of "No More Silent Battles". It was an afternoon that brought together caregivers, healthcare professionals, advocates, and community members to learn, share, and have important conversations about dementia.

A big thank you to Amy Altwerger from People Ops Collective and the organizers for bringing this event to the community and for your dedication to raising awareness and supporting families affected by dementia. Thank you as well to moderator Alexandra Piatkowski and the incredible panel:

• Dr. Jenny Ingram, geriatrician and director/producer of No More Silent Battles
• Lydia Ireland, Personal Support Worker with extensive dementia care experience
• Sharon Chapman-Sheehan, caregiver advocate and former Regional Manager for Long-Term Care Placement

The discussion highlighted the challenges families face, the importance of better support for people living with dementia, and the need to continue raising awareness in our communities.

At FirstLight Home Care North York, we've had the privilege of supporting many families on their dementia journey. Every family's experience is different, but one thing remains the same: no one should have to navigate it alone.

Thank you to everyone who attended, stopped by our table, and took the time to learn more. Together, we can help make dementia care more compassionate, informed, and accessible.
