August 21 marks National Senior Citizens Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring and appreciating the senior members of our community.
A garden is a paradise for all the senses! The taste of a sun-warmed tomato, the cool feel of a watering can, the floral smell of roses, the view of a lush, green plant against a turquoise sky: so many pleasures for the home gardener and the sensory support it provides, a wonderfully satisfying space for people living with dementia too.
Home care agencies like ours are here to serve seniors, but we're equally dedicated to supporting their family members. This is called respite care, a home care service which provides temporary breaks for family caregivers.
