Learning knows no age! On this International Day of Education, we’re celebrating how education enriches lives at every stage. 🌎📚

For seniors, learning something new—like painting, trying a new recipe, or mastering new technology—can bring joy, sharpen the mind, and create meaningful connections. At Nurse Next Door, our caregivers are here to support these educational journeys, whether it’s finding online classes, learning together, or turning your home into a space of discovery.

Because every moment of growth is a step toward Happier Aging™. 💛

Sundowning symptoms can bring agitation, confusion, and anxiety to those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, making late afternoons a challenging time for families.

Here are 4 simple, non-medical strategies to ease sundown syndrome symptoms:
✅ Encourage daytime activities to reset the body’s clock.
✅ Set up good sleep habits to support restful nights.
✅ Create a calm, well-lit environment in the evening.
✅ Use the “validate, reassure, distract” method to reduce anxiety.

Supporting a loved one through sundowning can feel overwhelming, but small changes can make a big difference. 💛

🏠 How to Create a Safer Home for Aging in Place 🏠

A safe home is the foundation of independence, comfort, and peace of mind—especially as we age. Small adjustments can make a big difference in helping you or your loved ones enjoy life to the fullest in a familiar environment.

Here are some thoughtful ways to enhance safety at home ✨
✔️ Brighten the path: Add nightlights in hallways and bathrooms to ensure clear visibility, even in the dark.
✔️ Keep essentials close: Store frequently used items like dishes, medication, or personal items within easy reach to reduce unnecessary strain.
✔️ Stay steady: Use non-slip mats in the bathroom and kitchen to prevent accidents and boost confidence in everyday activities.

🌟 Because everyone deserves to feel safe and cherished in the place they call home. 🌟

Nurse Next Door - Suzanne Tighe - There are no words to express our gratitude to the Thunder Bay community of business owners and artisans that have generously supported our event. BUT Suzanne Tighe and her team at Nurse Next Door ... this is a very personal thank you!! Suzanne, I have known you and Pete since I was 12 years old ... you have always been an inspiration through your hard work and kind heart. It is no surprise to me that your latest endeavour is building a company with only ONE goal ... to HELP people. You have done this your entire life ... and I am thankful to still have you in my corner. On behalf of the Stubbings family ... thank you for all your support ... and for everything you do in our Thunder Bay community. We are so happy to have you on board AGAIN for our second year. Lucky us. -
