In recognition of National Senior Health and Fitness Day, we want to remind everyone that wellness includes more than physical movement. Mental health, emotional support, and meaningful connection are also important, especially for older adults and those who care for them.

Caregivers often spend so much time supporting others that their own well-being can be overlooked. Programs like Powerful Tools for Caregivers help caregivers build confidence, reduce stress, and find practical ways to care for themselves while caring for someone they love.

At Big Bend Hospice, we believe supporting caregivers is an important part of supporting the whole family. 💚

Do you know anyone with special medical needs that would require support during an emergency? The Florida Department of Health and local emergency management agencies developed a registry for individuals with special needs that would require assistance during a disaster.

Special needs shelters are for those with disabilities or who require medical care that exceeds basic first aid. Pre-registration is important so emergency responders can ensure space is reserved for those in greatest need.

Learn more about Florida’s special needs shelters and how to register at FloridaHealth.gov/SPNS
