Tips from Your Physiotherapist

Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner! It is the time to start planting flowers, veggies, and fruit. Planting and digging in your garden require you to be on the ground and mostly on your knees. Simply using a knee cushion will help take the hard tension off your knees and legs and keep the strain off your back. Always try to take breaks and stand up to give your back a stretch. This will straighten up your spine and prevent your body from being sore and tight the next day. Most importantly, enjoy the sun!

Our Outreach Department is composed of dedicated Coordinators, trained volunteers, and brokered workers who assist and encourage older adults to age in place, maintain their independence, and promote a positive quality of life. And the best part? We come to you!

Need Home Maintenance and Yard care services? Are you looking to relocate and need a Housing Resource List? Need transportation to and from medical appointments?

The team is ready and able to assist. Call the front desk at 403-343-6074 to make an appointment to be connected and to have an assessment done.

Referrals can be received from individuals needing assistance, their family, friends, neighbours, caregivers, other agencies, or medical professionals. Clients are paired with an Outreach Coordinator who completes an intake appointment to assess the individual’s situation. Then, a care plan is designed, which can involve referrals to Golden Circle programs or to external agencies.

Brokered Workers Needed!

We have been fortunate to receive grant funding to expand our Outreach Programming beyond Red Deer and into Red Deer County and surrounding rural communities. We are looking for Brokered Workers in these communities to help support older adults to age in their homes.

The Golden Circle’s Brokered Worker program is administered through the Outreach Department and involves housekeeping, home maintenance, and yard care services. Some of the services provided are:
• Light housekeeping
• Lawn and garden work
• Minor handyman repairs
• Snow shovelling
• Painting
• One-time cleaning

The Golden Circle screens and interviews the Brokered Workes and matches them with clients. Reimbursement is $20.00/hr, with a two (2) hour minimum charge for housekeeping and a one-hour minimum for snow shovelling. Clients pay the Brokered Worker directly. Are you interested in becoming a Brokered Worker through the Golden Circle? Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at: Phone: 403-343-6074 or Email [email protected]

When it’s Not Just Aging

While it’s true that some health conditions are more common with age, there are some symptoms that should be discussed with your doctor. 1. Memory loss – this can sometimes be the result of medications, vitamin deficiencies, and some disorders. 2. Vision problems – getting treatment early for certain vision problems like glaucoma can prevent serious damage. 3. Tooth loss – getting regular dental care can help seniors avoid tooth loss. 4. Depression – certain health conditions and medications can make depression symptoms worse, but this problem can be treated professionally. 5. Weakness – a good exercise program can help prevent loss of muscle mass.
