25.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of Queensland Seniors Week! And since we can't celebrate how we normally would due to COVID-19 restrictions we thought we'd share a g...ood news story about a local senior group Earlier this year local Seniors Group, Seniors Creating Change, was recognised by the U.N for their use of video conferencing to connect with nursing home residents (and each other) during this time. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, noted the work of the Townsville group as an example of showing solidarity and support to ensure the physical and mental well-being of older persons. Seniors Creating Change is a local group focused on seniors empowering themselves to call for an end to elder abuse. The group sings in public places to raise awareness of the root causes of ageism and social isolation. This is just one example of the great work seniors do within our community Seniors Creating Change

11.01.2022 https://hellocaremail.com.au/reg-day-97-will-thinking-lost/ today we commemorate Remembrance Day - I feel this most important day gets lost and is a poor cousin to ANZAC Day. We certainly need to do more for the commemoration of the importance of this day - it really should have a public holiday as ANZAC Day has. We will remember them ... for 1 minute on this most important day in history. The 11th of the 11th at 11am .....

07.01.2022 Have you tried Turmeric for your aches and pains - as well as movement? We get stiff and sore just sitting around worrying about ourselves and how much it hurts to move .. get out of the rut and try some exercise and some turmeric remedies - my MOTH takes turmeric mixed with cod liver oil and apple cider vinegar - he says it helps him do a full days work - that and heat packs :D

06.01.2022 Don't forget Monday the 5th October is a public holiday and as such the office will be closed for that day. Also anyone dropping by the office to see me: please ring ahead and check that I will be here. There are many days I am out seeing to clients and am not available in the office during certain hours. I can also be contactable by my mobile phone number if you should need to do that.

03.01.2022 Make sure you know what the medication does and how it works and side effects. Do you really need it? What are other options? Always ask, never take it for granted that what you are given is what you actually need.

03.01.2022 https://www.cota.org.au/infor/self-management-in-home-care/ did you know you can self manage your home care package? This ensures you get what you need rather than what the service provider decides you need putting the power back into your hands.
