5 signs it might not be safe for your aging parents to live alone anymore, according to an expert
We plan for vacations and plan for retirement, but end-of-life planning is something we tend to put off. Talking about downsizing or moving into a retirement community (or a long-term care facility) are among the most important conversations adult children will have with their parents, and experts say these conversations should happen as early and often as possible. Broaching the subject of downsizing or moving can be delicate, and most elderly parents are resistant to move out of their houses. In fact, nearly every Canadian wants to age in their homes and communities. A 2020 survey found that 96 per cent of Canadians aged 65 and older would do 'everything they could' to avoid going into a long-term care facility, according to the National Institute on Ageing. That's a relevant statistic to consider when approaching your aging parents with this sensitive conversation. Meanwhile, Canada's population continues to age. Around 19 per cent of Canadians were aged 65 and older on July 1, 2023. By the end of the decade, seniors could represent between 21 per cent to 23 per cent of the total population. As this demographic continues to grow, conversations around end-of-life planning will increasingly move to the forefront. With this in mind, Yahoo Canada spoke to an expert about signs it might be time for your parents to consider downsizing. It's hard to know when it might be time to help your elderly parents downsize, but Stephanie Chan, a senior living advisor and founder of Home to Home, a care planning business based in Vancouver, B.C, has a few common clues to look out for. One scenario for aging parents is their day-to-day routines seem normal, but gradually over time, you spot subtle warning signs. 'They may seem minor and not as noticeable,' Chan says. 'But I would encourage families to pay attention to a few things.' 1. Mobility 'Observe how your parents are getting around the house. If you're picking up to go to an appointment, do you notice that it's taking them longer to get ready? Are they manoeuvring stairs differently? Have they had any falls, even small falls, in recent weeks?' Chan says mobility is one common warning sign to consider whether the living environment is still suitable. 2. Ease of daily living Changes in your loved one's ability to bathe themselves or go to the washroom on their own are another indicator it might be time to discuss living arrangements. 'Are they remembering to take their meds?" Chan asks. "Are they cooking for themselves? Are they keeping the house tidy? Are they dressing themselves OK?" 3. Mental wellbeing "Do they seem more isolated? Socialization can really impact one's well being. If you notice your parents never going out and they're isolated all the time, that could be a warning sign to think about moving," Chan says. "Seniors residences have a lot of socialization, and I think it's actually one of the most underrated benefits of seniors residences.' 4. Cognitive ability Another sign is if your parent has become more forgetful to the point where they're unable to take their meds or are at risk of going out and forgetting their way home. Diagnoses of dementia or Alzheimer's are also indicators it may be time for new a new living arrangement to ensure their safety. 5. Triggering events The loss of a spouse or loss of a driver's license could also trigger a discussion of downsizing or moving to a group environment. Similarly, a chronic health diagnosis that could impact their daily routine may also be a catalyst for discussing living arrangements. In her 18 years dealing with seniors, Chan says resistance to talk of in-home care or moving is one of the biggest conversations she helps families navigate. If your parents need help at home, her advice is to start small, whether it's hiring a cleaner, gardener, or cook to help with daily tasks. 'That might be a good way to just get your feet wet with trying out home care,' she says. And, if the family agrees it might be time to move, Chan suggests people tour residences. Book it during lunchtime if possible. 'Many places will invite you to stay, and you can test out the food and see other residents coming down for their meals,' Chan says. 'It will demystify any preconceived notions of what seniors' residences are like. A lot of people think it's doom and gloom, but there's a lot of seniors' residences that are very, very nice.'

Public Advisory - Health Canada warns consumers not to inhale nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, recreationally
OTTAWA, ON, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Summary Product: Various nitrous oxide products Issue: Health products – Product safety; Unauthorized product What to do: Do not inhale nitrous oxide products for recreational purposes. If you use prescription nitrous oxide recreationally and experience side effects, seek medical attention immediately. Affected productsVarious nitrous oxide products. Examples of seized products include: Bamboozle Need Whip Primewhip Primewhip XL Space Gas IssueHealth Canada is warning consumers about the serious health risks, including death, of inhaling nitrous oxide products, also known as laughing gas and by various street names, such as "whippets," "hippy crack," "NOS" and "nang," for recreational purposes. In Canada, nitrous oxide sold for inhalation is a drug and can only be administered by an authorized health care professional for legitimate and safe uses, such as in medical and dental procedures for sedation and pain relief. It is also in cream dispensers and other food tools where it is not meant to be inhaled. When inhaled—or "huffed" —nitrous oxide can cause euphoria and relaxation. It can also cause serious adverse effects such as: loss of consciousness and in some cases, death birth defects anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency impaired bowel and bladder function confusion, agitation, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia and depression increased heart rate, palpitations, low blood pressure, heart attack and stroke lack of oxygen in the body (asphyxia), blood clots in the extremities and in the lungs, and air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall (pneumothorax) tingling, numbness and weakness of the limbs and extremities (fingers and toes), uncoordinated walking and falls nerve damage, spinal cord degeneration, prolonged pain and, in severe cases, permanent paralysis Repeated use increases the likelihood of severe outcomes and may result in lasting neurological damage, even after stopping use. Regular use can also lead to addiction and withdrawal symptoms. Advertising and selling nitrous oxide products for inhalation to the public is strictly prohibited. However, Health Canada is aware that these products are being sold online and in retail stores. These products may be deceptively labelled: as "whip cream chargers," in flavours, which are not permitted, in stores you would not expect to find whipped cream chargers; and in large containers you would not expect for dispensing whipped cream. Health Canada has not reviewed these products, which are regulated as drugs, for safety, efficacy or quality. Also, they could be contaminated in ways that create additional health risks when inhaled. Health Canada strongly advises that consumers not inhale any nitrous oxide products for recreational purposes. Health Canada has seized several unauthorized nitrous oxide products and has worked with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to stop unauthorized shipments from entering the country. The Department will continue to take action to stop the sale of unauthorized products and to work with CBSA to help prevent further importations. What you should do Do not inhale nitrous oxide products for recreational purposes. Seek immediate medical attention from a health care professional (physician, nurse, pharmacist, Canadian Poison Centre) if you have used nitrous oxide recreationally or for medical purposes and have experienced any side effects. For Poison Centre access you can contact 1-844 POISON-X, in Quebec 1-800-463-5060, or contact your local poison centre directly. Health Canada has also published information about stopping substance use. Report any health product-related side effects or complaints to Health Canada.
