The July Edition | July 7, 2025

Welcome to the July Edition of the Comfort Connection!

July 24 is International Self-Care day, so in recognition of that, we've gathered resources to help you (and your loved ones) establish balance and avoid burnout. Bringing awareness to this important issue within your own family is the first step to find relief from stressors in your life.

Self-care is a conscious act people take to promote their physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. It is vital for building resilience toward life's stressors that we can't eliminate. When you've taken steps to care for your mind and body, you'll be better equipped to live your best life.

What we have been up to...

Comforts of Home - Care was delighted to be a sponsor and take part in this year's STARS Ambulance Golf Tournament. Contributing to a worthy cause that makes a significant difference in the lives of so many.

STARS is a Canadian non-profit helicopter air ambulance organization funded by individual donors, service groups, corporate donors, and government contributions. STARS provides rapid and specialized emergency care and transportation for critically ill and injured patients.

Self/Family Managed Care

Manitoba is the only province that offers the Self and Family Managed Care Program to eligible home care recipients.

This program offers money in exchange for home care services, which can be used to hire private care or a care company such as Comforts of Home – Care. By going this route, not only do you have a say about who comes into your home, you can ensure consistency and quality of care.

Joke of the Month

My father’s secretary was visibly distraught one morning when she arrived at the office and explained that her children’s parrot had escaped from his cage and flown out an open window. Of all the dangers the tame bird would face outdoors alone, she seemed most concerned about what would happen if the bird started talking.

Confused, my father asked what the parrot could say.

“Well,” she explained, “he mostly says, ‘Here, kitty, kitty.’”
