The June Edition | June 3, 2025

Welcome to the June Edition of the Comfort Connection!

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15, so in recognition of that, we've gathered resources to help you (and your loved ones) learn more about preventing elder abuse.

Older adults have the right to live safely, to be treated with respect, and to manage their own affairs. When someone violates those rights and causes harm, that’s abuse.

Monthly Spotlight: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

1 senior abused is 1 too many. Unfortunately, when it comes to showing just how urgent a problem elder abuse is, the numbers don’t lie:

1 in 2 people are prejudiced against older people
1 in 5 Canadians say older people are a burden on society
An estimated 7.5% of Canadians 55 and older experienced abuse
1 in 6 people over the age of 60 are victims of elder abuse

It doesn't need to be this way—we can make a change:

Recipe of the Month: Chickpea Salad

Fresh veggies, herbs, and a zesty dressing add bold flavor to this chickpea salad recipe. Healthy and satisfying, it's perfect for picnics and lunches!

Video: Who Should I Tell?

"Everyone has the right to be safe and free from abuse or neglect... It starts with recognizing the signs."

What we have been up too...

Comforts of Home - Care laced up and got their steps in last month. As a Local Sponsor for the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba we walked for those living with Demntia and their families in Manitoba . It was more than just a walk - it was a chance to connect, support eachother and yes, have a little fun along the way!

Comforts of Home - Care also had the pleasure of participating in the Hike for Hospice raising funds and awareness in support of Palliative Manitoba. This annual fundraising initiative helps advance the hospice palliative care initiatives right here in Manitoba.

Self/Family Managed Care

Did you know? Manitoba offers Self and Family Managed Care to eligible home care recipients!

This program offers money in exchange for home care services, which can be used to hire 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

A little boy gets $5 for his birthday. He runs with it to the candy store and asks for $5 worth of candy.

The man behind the counter asks, “Do you really think it’s wise to spend all your birthday money on candy?”

The little boy thinks about it for a moment and replies, “Well, my grandpa did live to be 94…”

“By eating candy everyday?” Asks the man, astounded.

“No,” replies the little boy, “by minding his own business.”
