Eating healthily is essential at any age, whether you're nine or 90. Making small, nutritious choices can have a big impact on your overall health and well-being.

Helping Seniors Care for Their Yards During the Fall
Fall is a beautiful season, and for many, it’s a favorite time of year. The crisp air, changing leaves, and seasonal activities make it a time to enjoy the outdoors. However, as lovely as the fall season is, it also presents challenges for seniors, especially when it comes to yard maintenance. The tasks associated with fall yard work—like raking leaves, clearing gutters, and preparing plants for colder weather—can be difficult for older adults, particularly those with limited strength and mobility.
At Care Point Home Health, we understand how important it is for seniors to maintain a safe, well-kept home, and part of that includes ensuring their yard is in good condition as the seasons change.
High Fiber Foods & Choosing Home Healthcare for Seniors
As we age, it becomes increasingly important to pay attention to our dietary needs, and fiber is one of the key components that can help maintain overall health in seniors. While fiber is essential for people of all ages, older adults are especially at risk for conditions like constipation, diabetes, and heart disease — all of which can be managed or prevented through a fiber-rich diet. Unfortunately, many seniors are not meeting the recommended daily intake of 28 grams of fiber.
