A Helpful Hand - Edmonton

🧠 Tidbit Tuesday — Social Time = Brain Boost

Here’s a fun fact: Just 10–15 minutes of social interaction a day can improve memory and mood for aging adults. A quick chat, a short walk, or a shared cup of tea goes a long way. ☕💬

That’s why companionship is one of our favourite services — seniors thrive when they feel connected. 🤝💛
