Emergency Lock Box

Have your ever asked yourself, how could I be rescued if my door was locked? Time is of the essence during a fire or medical emergency. Install a Lock Box – a small weather-resistant metal box that securely holds a set of keys. Should an emergency occur while you are unable to open the door or get out of the residence, Brandon Fires & Emergency Services can access your property without having to break in. Contact Brandon Seniors for Seniors Co-op Inc. for more information.

Gardening Increases Mental Wellness

It is finally warming up outside, and many of us are itching to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Being surrounded by greens, digging in the soil, and connecting with your world in a very tangible way can be incredibly rewarding. Eating homegrown vegetables or creating a bouquet from the flowers you have grown brings with it a sense of accomplishment. Studies have also found evidence that being in green, or even being able to look out on a green landscape, is linked with better recovery from surgery, less anxiety and depression, better stress management, and many other positive effects.
