Our emotional well-being is an important benefit of sexual intimacy through love, touch and play. During COVID, many people's emotional and mental well-being have been tested. As we enter the winter season, it is especially important we practice #selfcare in all areas of our life, including intimacy. Check out our blog: Seniors and Sex - What Lies Beneath the Sheets to explore the topic of intimacy and aging. https://www.nursenextdoor.com/blog/senior-sex/

COVID-19 has certainly required our bold pink community to pivot and reimagine many things, including how we celebrate! While we kicked off Nurse Next Door's Annual Virtual Learning this week, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate, reminisce and #throwback on last year's Conference. Thank you again to our bold pink community for making lives better everyday, and we look forward to being able to get together again (in-person) in the future.

PASSION + PERSEVERANCE = POSSIBILITY Today, Canadian alpine skier and keynote speaker, Josh Dueck, shared his inspiring and extremely touching story of his accident at the age of 23 that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Since then, Josh has won both silver and gold medals, became the first sit-skier to complete a backflip on snow that lead to an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, became a father, and is now is a vocal advocate for workplace safety and accessib...ility in sport. Above all, Josh's attitude and gratitude for life and overcoming obstacles with grace and humility reminds us that triumph is always possible through tragedy.

With more and more smart home devices and voice assistants being launched every so often, it’s easier for seniors to become more independent and have higher social engagement, both of which can help slow down brain aging.

In loving memory

Empathy plays a vital role when caring for someone with dementia. When we’re empathetic, we try to truly understand and feel what someone else is going through. Empathy helps to give us insight and patience, resulting in a better outcome for both the person living with dementia and their caregiver or loved one. With September being World Alzheimer's Month, let's remember to practice showing empathy. By meeting the person where they are instead of expecting them to be where we are, you can become a trusted listener and caregiver by maintaining sincere, close eye contact and asking open-ended questions that allow them to express what they are feeling and receive support. #nndottawa #ottawa #worldalzheimersmonth #dementiacare #september #homecare #ottawahomecare #loveisinthedetails #ourtalentiscaring
