During cold and flu season, a warm bowl of soup can do more than provide comfort — it can support the immune system and help seniors stay nourished through the colder months.

This Immune-Boosting Lemon Chicken & Vegetable Soup is quick to prepare, made in one pot, and stores beautifully for the week — making it easy to enjoy a healthy meal with minimal effort.

🍋 Batch-Friendly Immune-Boosting Lemon Chicken Soup

Ingredients (Makes 4–5 servings):

6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
2–3 cups cooked shredded chicken (or rotisserie)
3 cups chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, onion)
2 handfuls spinach or kale
Juice of 1–2 lemons
2 tsp garlic (fresh or powder)
2–3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Bring the broth to a simmer in a large pot.
2. Add the vegetables and cook for 12–15 minutes until tender.
3. Stir in chicken, garlic, greens, and dill.
4. Finish with the lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste.

Time-Saving & Connection Tip:

This soup keeps well in the fridge for 4–5 days, making it ideal for quick reheats throughout the week.

It’s also a wonderful way to show care:

Make a batch and drop it off for a senior in your life, or
Turn it into a fun Sunday afternoon cooking activity together.

If your loved one needs support with meal prep, wellness, or daily care this winter, Compass Homecare is here to help.

Winter is here. Let's talk senior winter safety and preparedness.

As the temperature drops and snowy weather becomes more frequent, taking proactive steps can make a huge difference in preventing injuries and keeping loved ones safe at home.

Here are a few helpful reminders to keep seniors protected this season:

1. Snow & Ice Preparedness
Plan ahead for snow removal or de-icing walkways and driveways to reduce slips and falls.

2. Proper Winter Gear
Warm layers, gloves, scarves, and sturdy boots with good traction can prevent cold-related risks. If they drive, ensure there are blankets, extra gloves, and hats in the trunk of the car as well.

3. Fireplace & Heating Safety
Schedule regular inspections for fireplaces, space heaters, or furnaces. Check carbon monoxide detectors and keep a fire extinguisher nearby (and up-to-date).

4. Mobility & Walking Aids
A cane with an ice tip, cleat attachments, or mobility supports can improve stability on icy surfaces.

Whether it’s safety planning, companionship, mobility support, or daily living assistance, a little preparation goes a long way in creating a safer winter for the seniors we care about.

Compass Homecare is here to support your loved one’s comfort, independence, and peace of mind — all year round.

For many seniors, the most meaningful gifts aren’t material at all: they’re moments of connection, compassion, and care. The holidays can be a joyful time, but for older adults, they can also bring feelings of isolation or being left out of the festivities.

At Compass Homecare, we’re reminded every day that sharing & caring are the true gifts we can give. It’s not about what’s under the tree, it’s about the value of being present, being thoughtful, and being there.

If you’re searching for meaningful gift ideas for the seniors in your life, here are a few ideas that go far beyond the traditional:

🎁 Quality time. A shared meal, a visit, a conversation. Time is one of the most priceless gifts we have.

🎁 Memory sharing. Bring old photo albums, write down family stories, or ask about their history and childhood.

🎁 Acts of service. Small gestures make a big difference — help with errands, winter prep, or technology.

🎁 Connection to community. Join them in a social activity, game, or holiday outing.

🎁 Companionship. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply being present — even silence shared together can be meaningful.

Here’s to a season built on kindness, connection, and caring, from your friends at Compass Homecare.

On December 2nd, we recognize Women’s Brain Health Day.

Today, we join the Women’s Brain Health Initiative in raising awareness about the importance of brain health, especially for women, who are disproportionately affected by brain-aging disorders.

Let’s focus on the 6 pillars of brain health:

• Sleep: Prioritize rest for cognitive recovery.
• Exercise: Stay active to support both body and mind.
• Nutrition: Choose brain-healthy foods like leafy greens, nuts, and fish.
• Stress Management: Practice mindfulness to reduce mental strain.
• Social Activity: Stay connected—relationships are vital for mental well-being.
• Mental Stimulation: Keep learning and challenging your brain.

Together, we can support lifelong cognitive vitality. How are you prioritizing your brain health today?

November marks both Falls Prevention Month and Osteoporosis Month — two important reminders that go hand in hand when it comes to protecting senior health.

Did you know that 1 in 3 seniors experiences a fall each year, and falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations in older adults? Many of these incidents lead to fractures caused by osteoporosis — a disease that weakens bones, making them more fragile and susceptible to breaks.

While falls can happen to anyone, maintaining strong bones and muscle strength can make a significant difference.

Exercise helps build bone density and improve balance, reducing the likelihood of both falls and fractures. Weight-bearing and resistance activities — like walking, gentle strength training, or yoga — encourage bone growth and improve coordination.

Nutrition plays a vital role too. A diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein supports bone repair and strength. Foods like leafy greens, dairy, almonds, and fortified alternatives all contribute to bone health.

At Compass Homecare, we’re dedicated to helping seniors stay strong, independent, and confident at home — through care that supports both safety and wellness.

This month, let’s work together to prevent falls, strengthen bones, and break myths — not bones.

Time for a Compass Homecare Fall Check-in.

As the days grow shorter and the chill sets in, it’s a great time to remind our seniors (and ourselves!) about home safety for the colder months ahead.

Before cozying up by the fire, take a few simple steps to keep everyone safe and comfortable this season:

✔ Have your fireplace and furnace inspected to prevent hazards.
✔ Check fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors.
✔ Clean chimneys and vents to avoid buildup or blockages.
✔ Replace batteries in alarms and flashlights.
✔ Schedule a flu shot or COVID booster — especially important before winter gatherings.
✔ Use a humidifier if the air in the home gets too dry, but clean it regularly to avoid mold

Small, proactive steps go a long way toward preventing illness, accidents, and keeping homes warm and worry-free. Let’s help our loved ones stay safe, cozy, and confident this winter.

November is Osteoporosis Month by Osteoporosis Canada.

At Compass Homecare, we believe in empowering our clients and communities with the knowledge to protect their bone health — because strong bones support strong lives.

We love their catch phrase: Break Myths. Not Bones. So, we thought we would share some common misconceptions.

➡️ Myth #1: “Osteoporosis is just part of aging so there’s nothing I can do.”
Fact: While bone loss increases with age, bone-healthy behaviours (exercise, nutrition, risk-factor monitoring) can make a real difference.

➡️ Myth #2: “Only women get osteoporosis.”
Fact: Men are also at risk — at least 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.

➡️ Myth #3: “Calcium and vitamin D are all I need to stay safe.”
Fact: While essential, calcium and vitamin D are only part of the picture. A holistic bone-health strategy also addresses exercise, medications when needed, lifestyle factors and falls-prevention.

What you can do now:

✔ Get your bone-health risk assessed: talk to your healthcare provider or use the “Know Your Risk” tools available from Osteoporosis Canada.

✔ Adopt regular weight-bearing and strength-training exercise. Even balance-focused activities help reduce fall & fracture risk.

✔ Ensure you’re getting enough bone-building nutrients (calcium, vitamin D, protein) — and review overall lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, medications and medical conditions that affect bone health.

✔ Make your home a safer place: reducing trip hazards, improving lighting, removing loose rugs — these simple steps help prevent the falls that often trigger fractures.

At Compass Homecare, we’re proud to stand alongside you — supporting bone-health education, assisting in risk-management strategies, and helping clients live safely with independence and peace of mind.

November marks the start of Movember, an incredible movement dedicated to raising awareness around men’s health—focusing on mental health, wellbeing, and prostate and testicular cancer. Growing a moustache, running a race, or simply sharing resources can help drive conversation and action.

Men’s health is everyone’s issue. By working together, we can break down stigmas, support early detection, and encourage men to seek the care they need. Let's make this month about more than just moustaches—let’s make it about real impact.

If you're joining the Movember movement, share your journey, start a conversation, and inspire others. Together, we can change the face of men’s health. Here are some real life inspirational stories:https://ca.movember.com/story
