We are so incredibly proud to make a difference in the lives of our clients every single day and appreciate beyond words when they take the time to send us a note and a photo to remind us of the importance of what we do. #makingadifference #homecare #supportworkers #wecare #bekind

12.01.2022 Did you know that walking delivers big health benefits? Almost anyone can walk for exercise because walking speed, duration, and frequency can be adjusted to match your fitness level. The fitness benefits of walking are pretty clear, but what you may not realize is that walking also offers psychological perks. A study following 4,840 men and women 40 years of age and older for about 10 years found that those taking at least 8,000 steps daily had a 51% lower death rate f...rom all causes compared with those taking 4,000 steps or fewer. #walking #HealthBenefits #cardio #health #exercise #fitness #wellness #healthylifestyle #diabetes #diabetesqld

04.01.2022 Some people think people with dementia can’t live active and rich lives this isn’t true. It is our role as a community to do the best we can to support people living with dementia to live well for as long as possible. Dementia affects close to half a million Australians. That number is set to double in the next 25 years. Many Australians will start experiencing the impact of dementia amongst their own family and friends in the coming years.... With so many people impacted now and into the future, it is vital we clear up some of the prevailing misconceptions about dementia. People living with dementia can continue to live active and rich lives many years after diagnosis. It is our role as a community to do the best we can to support people living with dementia to live well for as long as possible. Dementia Action Week 2020 has been developed in consultation with Dementia Advocates, who have a lived experience of dementia. The stories and voices that will feature across Dementia Action Week are real.
