February is Senior Independence Month. Crittenton Home Care supports seniors in their effort to maintain independence in the home or place of residence by offering services ranging from companionship and meal preparation to 24-hour care.

As part of Senior Independence Month, we will have articles on how to reduce stress, increase mood during the winter months and information on upcoming events at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center.

A great tip for people of all ages when looking to increase longevity and quality of life is to stay postive. Part of maintaining a healthy and independent life is living with less stress and more time for relaxation and recuperation. Recalling your past, fond memories and loved ones can aide in moments of relaxation.
