October brings several important opportunities to raise awareness about brain health, brain injury and the people living with their effects.

From brain injuries caused by interpersonal violence, to brain cancer and stroke, these experiences can change lives in an instant. They can also create ongoing challenges for individuals and their families long after the initial event.

🧠 October 15 | Purple Thursday

Purple Thursday shines a light on the intersection between brain injury and interpersonal violence. Brain injuries can be a hidden consequence of abuse, including injuries caused by blows to the head, strangulation or being violently shaken.

It’s an important reminder that recognizing the signs of brain injury and connecting survivors with the right support can make a meaningful difference. Resources: https://www.brainlove.ca/purple-thursday

🧠 October 24 | Brain Cancer Awareness Day

Brain Cancer Awareness Day recognizes those living with brain cancer, honours those we’ve lost, and highlights the importance of research, education and support.

In Canada, 27 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day, including approximately eight people who receive a brain cancer diagnosis. Resources: https://www.braintumour.ca/event/brain-cancer-awareness-day/

🧠 October 29 | World Stroke Day

Stroke can happen suddenly, and recognizing the signs and seeking emergency care quickly can make a critical difference. The World Stroke Organization’s 2026 campaign encourages everyone to learn the signs and . Resources: https://www.world-stroke.org/world-stroke-day-campaign

October is Occupational Therapist Month.

At Compass Homecare, we want to take this time to honour and celebrate the incredible work of Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Occupational Therapist Assistants (OTAs) — the unsung heroes helping people regain independence, adapt to life’s challenges, and do what matters most.

Occupational therapy is about much more than “just therapy”. it’s about enabling meaningful participation in daily life:

✔️ Assisting with self-care (dressing, eating, mobility)
✔️ Supporting productivity (work, school, daily routines)
✔️ Encouraging leisure & community engagement (hobbies, social connection)

OTs look at the person, their environment, and their goals — and design strategies that bridge gaps.

To every OT and OTA on our team and across our network: thank you for your dedication, innovation, and compassion. Your work often operates behind the scenes, but its impact is deeply felt.

Let’s use this month to raise awareness, educate our communities, and shine a spotlight on occupational therapy. If you see an OT this month, take a moment to say thanks.

This Thanksgiving, let’s bring back the spirit of family, and tradition.

The long weekend is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, gather together and create meaningful moments with the older people in our lives.

Here are a few simple ways to spend time together this Thanksgiving or fall season:

🍁 Return to a family favourite. Visit the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, cottage, restaurant or neighbourhood that has been part of your family’s story.

🍁Bring an old tradition back. Make ‘nana’s’ favourite family pie or recipe speciality, play the same board game, watch a classic movie.

🍁 Pull out the photo albums. Find old Thanksgiving, fall or family photos and ask your loved one what they remember about the people and places in them.

🍁 Take the scenic route. Go for a drive through the fall colours, especially along a route that holds memories from years gone by. Take a trip through the old neighbourhood!

🍁 Ask about “the way we used to do it.” Give an older family member the chance to share how Thanksgiving, fall or family gatherings looked when they were growing up.

This Thanksgiving, we’re especially grateful for our incredible team of nurses and healthcare professionals who make compassionate care at home possible, and for the clients and families who place their trust in us every day.

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer affects individuals, families and communities across Canada. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Awareness is an important part of early detection and support. This month, we’re sharing three things everyone should know:

🔹 Know what’s normal for you. Changes in your breasts, ni***es or underarm area should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

🔹 Know the signs. A new lump, changes in breast size or shape, ni**le changes or changes in the skin can all be reasons to seek medical advice. Not all breast changes are cancer, but they should be checked.

🔹 Stay up to date with screening. Screening mammography can help find breast cancer before symptoms develop. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that people aged 40 to 74 at average risk have a mammogram every 2 years, while those at higher risk may need a different screening plan.

For individuals living with cancer, and for the families and caregivers supporting them, having access to information and compassionate care matters.

October 1st is National Seniors Day in Canada.

Today, Compass Homecare would like to celebrate every senior in Canada and the legacy they have brought to their own families and this country.

Why celebrate National Seniors Day?

Older adults have made, and continue to make, meaningful contributions to Canada, shaping our families, communities and workplaces.They are our mentors, teachers, grandparents, loved ones, volunteers and role models. Their contributions help build stronger communities and enrich the lives of those around them.

Why get involved?

National Seniors Day is an opportunity to recognize the important role older persons play in our society. It’s also a great way to connect with the community, network with contacts and raise awareness of issues that matter to older persons.

What you can do today?

• Call or visit an older loved one• Make it a coffee or dinner date out • Ask them to share a favourite story or memory• Ask them about their proudest achievement• Offer a helping hand with an everyday task• Thank a senior who has made a difference in your life

On behalf of Compass Homecare, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to every senior in Canada that has paved the way for our future.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.

This day is a reminder of the children who never returned home from residential schools, and of the survivors, families, and communities who continue to live with the intergenerational impacts.

Wearing orange is more than a gesture, it’s a commitment to listening, learning, and ensuring that “Every Child Matters” is not just a phrase, but a responsibility we all carry.

Reconciliation requires reflection, but also action. At Compass Homecare, our people-first, compassionate approach calls us to create space for Indigenous voices, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and work toward a future rooted in respect, equity, and healing.

If you have an aging parent who requires support to remain at home, you’ve probably felt the most worry about the night time hours. What if they have a fall? Need to use the toilet? Need to get up for some water?

Overnight care services can help ease that anxiety and worry for your family. Here is how we can help:

1. Safety When It Matters Most

✔️ Overnight support for vulnerable hours.
Caregivers stay awake and alert throughout the night, providing mobility assistance, fall prevention, toileting support, medication reminders and help with unexpected nighttime needs.

2. Comfort & Companionship Through the Night

✔️ Your loved one is never alone.
From bedtime routines to personal care, hydration and companionship, overnight caregivers provide reassuring, one-on-one support in the comfort of home.

3. Peace of Mind for the Whole Family

✔️ Rest easier knowing someone is there.
Overnight care gives family caregivers the opportunity to sleep, recharge and step away for the night—knowing their loved one is safe, supported and cared for.

Is life about to get a whole lot busier for you?

If you’ve been on the fence about bringing homecare into your family’s routine, fall may be the perfect time to reconsider.

As work, school and family schedules get busier, caring for an aging loved one can become harder to balance.

Homecare can help by providing:

1. MORE TIME FOR WHAT MATTERS

Less time managing day-to-day care means more time for your career, family and enjoying quality time with your loved one when you are together.

2. PEACE OF MIND, EVEN WHEN YOU CAN’T BE THERE

Know that someone is there to provide support, companionship and care when you can’t be.

3. CARE THAT IS PERSONAL

Compassionate caregivers build genuine relationships and become a trusted part of your loved one’s life.

Are you ready to talk about how in-home care could be life changing for your family and improving the quality of life for your loved one? Learn more: https://compasshomecare.ca/services/elder-care-senior-home-care/

As we approach Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, it’s a time for introspection and setting intentions for personal growth in the year ahead.

This day is not only about fasting, but also about reconnecting with our values, relationships, and purpose. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect on our actions, and strive to become the best versions of ourselves, both in our personal lives and in our professional endeavors.

To all who are observing, may this Yom Kippur bring you peace, clarity, and a sense of renewal from the Compass Homecare family.
