Moving into residential aged care
Sometimes a family member or a friend needs help suddenly – for example if they’ve had a stroke. At other times, it’s a gradual process as physical changes slowly make it harder for them to care for themselves at home.

November is a BIG month. The Canberra office celebrated 11 years in the ACT. There were times when we thought we would not make it but thanks to our loyal clients and amazing Angels DIAL-AN-ANGEL (Canberra) is still operating successfully.
A very special acknowledgement of Norma Woodbridge (manager of the Gosford office) who celebrated 20 years with DIAL-AN-ANGEL on 4th November. It’s not often these days that such milestones are achieved. Congratulations Norma!

Fit & Well – Weight loss tip for new mums
Here’s a tip from Performance Body Works. Siesta as often as you can! Research shows sleep loss negatively impacts the hormones that regulate how hungry you feel and how efficiently you burn calories. We know it's hard to sneak in sleep when you're a new mum, but if you nap when the baby does, you'll be able to grab a few extra hours of rest and shed a few kilos. www.pbworks.com.au
With summer fast approaching it is essential to be aware that the signs of dehydration or heat exhaustion are less pronounced in seniors. This is due to the effects of aging, certain medications and some chronic conditions. Speak with a doctor about how these circumstances could change the body's ability to manage heat.
Pets can get sunburned too, and your pet may require sunscreen on his or her nose and ear tips. Pets with light-coloured noses or light-coloured fur on their ears are particularly vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer.
