November is National Caregivers Month, and our team at Zion Healthcare of Cypress is here to help.

The world “caregiver” covers the 45 million unpaid family members, in addition to 2.6 million paid professionals who provide care for individuals. Like any job, there are specific responsibilities caregivers assume.

They help people with personal needs such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. But they will also help make sure a loved one is clean, their bedding is changed, and even provide help in the bathroom. Caregivers also help individuals with mobility, transportation, and running errands.

Most importantly, caregivers can provide companionship by joining loved ones when they watch TV, work puzzles, and simply conversing. Letting individuals know they are not alone is probably the greatest service a caregiver provides.

As we celebrate the caregivers in our community, let’s commit ourselves to raise awareness of family caregiver issues, work to find ways to support their efforts, encourage them to remember to take time for themselves, and, most importantly, celebrate them with our words and actions.

Contact us today if we can help you with a respite stay for a loved one; we are here to help!

Meet our new Pet Therapy dog, Mr. Nog! He visits every Friday with our residents and staff members.
When elderly people engage with pets it increases their quality of life, reduces tension, fatigue, and confusion, while also encouraging positive emotions and attitudes.
Stay tuned for more pictures of Mr. Nog interacting with our residents.

We hear from health experts on why it’s more beneficial for your immune system to get a flu shot now rather than after the flu season has begun.

Experts say October is a prime month for flu vaccinations, because the shot strengthens your immune system before flu season is fully under way.

Happy Fall, Y'all! 🍁
The Autumnal Equinox in September ushers in a change of season. It is observed annually when the sun can be seen directly overhead along the equator. The day marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
We think about warmer clothes and preparing our homes for winter. Since most children have school now, most summer activities have ended. In the fields, farmers eagerly watch for the opportune time to harvest. Apples, pumpkins, and root vegetables ripen in the orchards and gardens. On cool evenings, long walks under the canopies of gold, umber, violet, and crimson keep our spirits warm!
