Lifestyle

We all know the joys of being out in nature. The sights, sounds, smells, and fresh air are great for our state of mind. Research has even shown that simply being able to see nature from inside has a positive impact on our well-being.

The theme of Men's Health Week 2023, from 12 to 18 June, is Healthy Habits – encouraging men and boys to build healthy habits by identifying small changes they can make that benefit their health and wellbeing.

Each year on 27 June, PTSD Awareness Day recognises the effects post-traumatic stress has on the lives of those impacted by it. 

If we are lucky, we get old. But we all age differently. This month, Right at Home Australia looks at some of the unique challenges women face as they age, how they can address these challenges, and how their loved ones can help.

In the spirit of Heart Research Month this February, Right at Home, Australia's premier homecare provider, thought we'd share some valuable information on the importance of sleep. How did you sleep last night? Sadly, there is a good chance your answer is "not well". In a large, worldwide survey in 2019, 62% of adults said they slept somewhat or not at all well. Only 10% said they slept extremely well. And if you live in a country that still observes daylight saving time, you may experience additional sleep-related challenges.

As we begin another year, many of us might already be struggling with ambitious new year’s resolutions. So why don’t we take a step back and look at our quality of life. How would you rate your quality of life? On a scale of one to five, with one being low and five being high, what number would you assign to the quality of life you have today?

October is Mental Health Month and something we at Right at Home put great emphasis on each year.  

September is International Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and we at Right at Home, Australia's leading quality in-home care provider, are urging our ageing male population to get checked.

February is Heart Research Month. And with Valentine’s Day last week, we wish to draw attention to the heart health of all Australians but particularly that of Australia’s women.

It’s summer in Australia and we all know what that means. Sun, and lots of it. At this time of the year, Right at Home asks families to be vigilant when caring for their elderly loved ones or loved ones living with a disability.
