Lifestyle

As we age, health becomes less about numbers on a chart and more about how we feel — energised, connected, and confident in our bodies and routines. Women’s Health Week is the perfect time to explore how older women can thrive in later life by focusing on the whole picture of wellness — from physical strength to emotional resilience and community connection.

Men’s Health Week (10–16 June) and World Continence Week (17–23 June) are two powerful reminders that looking after men’s health is about more than regular check-ups — it’s about dignity, confidence, and living well at every stage of life.

At Right at Home, we support men across Australia in staying active, independent, and in control of their health. That means supporting not just physical wellbeing, but emotional confidence — especially when it comes to sensitive topics like continence care.

However, the challenge often lies not in setting these goals but in following through with them throughout the year and beyond.

Good mental health is important to people of all ages, and that includes you! 

The theme for this year's Women's Health Week is ‘Grow Your Knowledge’ in support of women making informed decisions about their health with information they can understand.  

Ageism is a widespread problem and shows up in many ways across cultures and societies. This month we look at the most common forms of ageism in everyday life and explain the many effects of internalised ageism.

We often hear that keeping our brains sharp as we age is important for maintaining overall health and cognitive function. But what exactly is cognitive function?
