3 Changes To Your Bathroom You May Want To Consider

Generally speaking, there’s nothing to fear when you enter a bathroom. Most of us use this room of the home each and every day without incident. However, it’s important to remember that seniors can often have tougher times keeping upright. Do you have an elderly loved one in your home who uses a mobility solution to keep him/her from falling? If so, you may want to consider making some changes to the bathroom.

How To Create A Safe Bedroom For Your Elderly Loved One

It’s only right that the elderly loved one in your home is given the peace and quiet he/she needs every night. As you are likely aware, falling and staying soundly asleep doesn’t come easy for seniors. In many cases, aches and pains are to blame for sleepless nights. In some other instances, mobility issues play a factor in not getting comfortable.
However, the mental and emotional well-being of seniors must also be taken into account. Perhaps, all your elderly loved one needs to have better sleeps each night is the knowledge that he/she is safe. What can you do to create a safe bedroom for your elderly loved one?

Offering Our Older Generation The Respect And Support It Deserves

We’re all facing a very tough time. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to treat life very differently. We can’t take our health and safety for granted in ways we once did. Mask-wearing, for example, is highly touted as a way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Consider how much our elderly population is going through, at the moment. They are considered the most susceptible to the virus’ dangerous effects.

In addition to wearing masks, there are many other things we can do to offer our older generation the respect and support it deserves. In this week’s blog, we’ll examine just a few of them.

Nutrition Is The Key To Vitality In Older Adults

Naturally, as we age, we become more prone to failing health. But this doesn’t always have to be the case! We all know people who have lived into their 100s and have often cited their healthy life choices as their “secrets”. Such life choices include healthy eating. What foods are most important for older adults to eat? As we’ll explore in this week’s blog, nutrition truly is the key to vitality in older adults.

Overcoming The Barriers Of Aging In Place

Aging in place is much preferred by the majority of Canadian senior citizens. This is especially true now that COVID-19 has proven to be a havoc-wreaker on old age homes all across the country. However, for most senior citizens, living at home isn’t all that easy. It’s important for their homes to be safe and equipped with all of the necessities that make their lives comfortable.

Stair Lifts Restore Access To All Areas Of Your Home

No matter the staircase, there is a stair lift that can suit it. Both straight and curved staircases have stair lift models that make ideal fits. Stair lifts can also be used indoors and outdoors, depending on your needs. You can even get a residential wheelchair stair lift to accommodate a wheelchair user.

How To Prevent Your Elderly Loved One From Heat Stroke This Summer

Calgary may not be known as the hottest place on the map. But during the summertime, we can experience some pretty hot days here. If you live with an elderly loved one, those hot days must be prepared for. The last thing you want is for the senior in your life to experience heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

Advantage home health solutions is amazing very professional and the owner Phil was instrumental in making our experience installing a chair life a very positive one. Excellent customer service. We also purchased a power chair and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend. I inadvertently left out how important the tech staff were in the installation and operation of our three floor curved chair lift. They were wonderful also Stephanie who helped us with our purchase of the travel buggy chair for my husband. Very knowledgable and helpful.

I would highly recommend this company. They have installed two custom lifts in the house, always provided a super product and we’re always on time. If we ever had a problem it was just a quick call and they were here. These are the go to guys.

Thank you Stephanie & staff for taking such good care of Mr. B and I. We were greeted immediately when we entered the store. We went to a bigger & well known place and after 45 minutes we left with no staff interaction. I even stood near the desk for 10 minutes, no one approached me. Luckily we went to Advantage Home Health Solutions. The personal service was wonderful. Stephanie and another helper were so helpful. There was absolutely no pressure. We took our time and Stephanie told us not to rush. They told us they had plenty of time because this was a big decision. They explained and showed us how everything worked on the chair. FYI…. A Travel Buggy is an foldable power chair. The Vista Travel Buggy fits in the trunk of our car and is accepted on airplanes ✈️ Advantage gave us an informative pamphlet that we took home. Had to deal with our insurance company to see if the Travel Buggy would be subsidized with our insurance plan. Three months later we were back in the store and Stephanie showed us again how everything worked before we took our Travel Buggy home. You will pleased with Advantage Home Health Solutions hands down. The store may be smaller but the price is still the same as the bigger stores. Stephanie thank you again for helping us with this major decision and making the experience so pleasant. P.S. Parking is conveniently right outside the door. Handicapped parking is at the back of the store. Sincerely Mrs. & Mr. B

This review is long overdue. My mother’s walker was damaged on her flight to Calgary and we needed to replace it. We called late n the day last year, on Thursday, June 30, the day before Canada Day and a holiday weekend. Phil came into the store early Saturday morning when the store was closed so that my mother would have a working walket and would be mobile. Excellent quality walket/Rollator, and service that I know I never expected or experienced before. Thank you! I can’t praise Phil and Advantage Home Health Solutions enough.
