October is mental health month, and with it, world mental health day on the 10th.

Understandably, much of our attention has been taken up by the pandemic, with COVID-19 affecting us all both directly and indirectly. But other fatal diseases are still here, and one of those is breast cancer.

As the weather warms up, those of us with a garden or even a sunny indoor ledge can locate those evasive gardening gloves and head for the fertiliser. Gardening for the elderly and those living with a disability is a great way to remain active and engaged in one's home. 

Right at Home Australia this week celebrated Women’s Health Week 2021! Inaugurated in Australia in 2013, Women’s Health Week falls in the first week of September each year and aims to spotlight health and wellbeing challenges for women and girls.

Men’s Health Week is celebrated in June each year. This week, from the 14th to the 20th, Men’s Health Week is helping draw attention to the health and wellness needs of Australia’s male population.

Sleep pattern changes can occur as we age with many seniors early to bed and early to rise. Research shows that older adults may need a little less sleep than they did in their younger years. This is good to know because worrying about sleep can make it harder to sleep! Right at Home, Australia's trusted home care provider explains why.

World Mental Health Day occurs each year on the 10th of October, recognising and raising awareness for mental health and wellbeing in our communities.

As Australia’s trusted home care provider, Right at Home shares information for carers about how to support the immunity of your loved one during the second wave of COVID 19 in our communities.

A new research field — passive heating for human health — proves that hot baths even at home are a medicinal benefit to all ages, including elders with a number of health conditions.

As the New Year approaches, along come those New Year resolutions.
