Behind every good day is a great night's sleep. That’s why we spent some time last week learning about the ins and outs of mattresses. During our eye-opening “Lay & Learn,” we discovered how the construction and materials used—foam, gel, air, and firm borders—all impact a user's experience. What a great way to spend a Friday!

Rollator brake cables stretch over time. If the handles pull too far before engaging, they likely need tightening. Loose brakes increase fall risk, especially when sitting down, so get your brakes fixed as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, many people become less active as they age, but being active has real benefits for seniors. Regular movement and exercise benefits everyone – of all ages – in both the short term and long term.

With today being Canada’s National Health & Fitness Day, we would like to share some of the major reasons seniors should stay focused on health and fitness in their daily routines:

>Balance exercises may help you avoid falls

>Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart

>Flexibility and stretching can help make everyday tasks easier

>Strengthening exercises maintain muscle and strengthen bone

Please share this post with all the seniors in your circle. You can also lean more at the following HealthLinkBC webpage - https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthwise/physical-activity-you-get-older

Grab bars in the bathroom are often installed in the wrong alignment. Here’s the rule of thumb:

Vertical bars = to help step in and out of a shower or bathtub.

Horizontal bars = to help with balance.

Angle bars = to assist with sit-to-stand transitions.

Double-check your bathroom’s grab bars and realign if necessary to ensure you stay safe in what is traditionally the most dangerous room in your home.
