YOUR SELF CARE MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK

Support Designed Around you

What is Self Care?

We hear a lot about elder abuse and the problems of seniors being neglected. But these problems can also be self-inflicted, often without really being aware of it. Self care is the process of ensuring that you are looking after your own needs in every area of life. No matter how old you are, you’ve still got a lot to live for, and a lot to contribute to those around you. This site is meant to help you discover the resources available to make your life everything it can be.

Our Partners

Some of the great organizations and companies we partner with to help you make the most of your senior years.

Mental Health

Self care begins with looking after your mental health. Being able to identify signs of depression or self-neglect.

Nutrition

Nutrition plays an important role in helping your mind and body remain strong and resilient to aging.

Social Life

You don’t have to party to have a strong social life. Self care means having people around you for support.

Vaccination

Seniors are at increased risk of major complications from the flu and other diseases. Make sure to get yourself vaccinated.

Living Standards

Many seniors allow their standard of living to decline, for many reasons. Ask yourself if things are deteriorating, and seek support.

Are you Vaccinated?

The influenza vaccine has never been more important

No doubt you know about the dangers of the Covid-19 coronavirus. We hope you are vaccinated. But that doesn’t mean the seasonal flu is no longer an issue. You are still at risk for influenza even with the Covid vaccine. Make plans to get the flu vaccine as well. Our volunteers advocate to provide the high-dose influenza vaccine at a discounted cost for seniors.
