Facebook Post Copy: Did you know? According to a study done by @amergeriatrics, retirees over 65 who volunteer often live to be older than their non-volunteer peers.
In fact, volunteering has many health benefits! Here are just a few:
Volunteers have better social networks (and social engagement leads to reduced stress)
Volunteering leads to a more active lifestyle which can reduce risk of disease and boost the body’s immune system
Volunteering builds self-confidence and shows us how much we have to offer at any age
At Comfort Keepers, our caregivers are able to support clients in exploring virtual volunteer opportunities and help them get the resources to begin.

Home recovery is a key step when it comes to regaining strength and getting back to our favorite activities. This process can include: Following a doctor’s treatment plan Eating nutritious food and drinking plenty of water Getting ample sleep to aid the body’s healing process Using a cool mist humidifier or vaporizer to aid breathingManaging pneumonia recovery at home can be challenging when done alone, and a caregiver by your side can make all the difference. At Comfort Keepers, our goal is to provide all the means necessary to ensure a successful recovery.
