In today’s society, many people disregard haircuts as a means of brightening up someone’s day. Contrary to popular belief, a quick cut and style can revitalize an individual’s mood and help promote confidence in the way they look. Creating unique hairstyles can be just as fun and soothing for seniors as it is for anyone else! At HarborChase, we strive to help you help the senior in your life feel confident in themselves and ensure they are not afraid to display their personality!

Today, modern technologies and electricity have spared us the dirty hard work, but the ongoing tradition of spring cleaning lingers. It’s an especially important and sometimes stressful chore done in homes where seniors may no longer be able to keep up with regular housekeeping chores.

HarborChase is a senior living community that cares about the needs of our residents. We want to share six tips with you and the senior of your life that you can utilize to make the spring cleaning process easier this year and the years to come!

There are many trends that can be misleading or seem like fads in our culture. Diets come and go as new discoveries are made and habits tend to fade. One food trend that is surely not a fad is eating foods that improve your mental health.

As we get older, it is difficult to remember the little things in life. It’s easy to joke about, ‘Oh, I can’t find my keys again, I must be getting old!’ but when it comes to those in their elder years, it can become a serious concern, because memory loss can be signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s. You and your loved ones may wonder what can to do to help prevent these debilitating memory illnesses.

At HarborChase, we value health and fitness. We know that as a senior, exercising and staying healthy isn’t exactly easy. There are many exercises that seniors may have done earlier in their lives that they are unable to do once they grow older. Exercises for older adults can vary in difficulty and effectiveness because the capabilities of each senior can be different from one another. Although the specific exercises may vary, there are clear categories that each activity falls into.
