- Researchers say helping others can make you happier as you age.
- They say that’s because this type of behavior helps release a mood-enhancing hormone known as oxytocin.
- It was previously thought that this neurochemical was predominately released in younger people.
- Experts say doing for others can involve charity work or even simply saying hello to people in stores, elevators, and other public places.

WE GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER AT HAND
One Source –Empowering Caregivers was founded in December 2014 in Grass Valley, California. Founder Donna Raibley, a Caregiver in her own community, was aware that Caregivers were in need of hope and support, while they tirelessly cared for their Loved Ones at home.
Our Mission
The Mission of One Source – Empowering Caregivers is to improve quality of life for Caregivers and their loved ones by providing cost-free, non-medical support while they remain at home in a safe and healthy environment.
Our Vision
At One Source – Empowering Caregivers we envision Caregivers and their loved ones receiving cost free respite care while they remain at home.
