Managing the Personal Details for Exceptional Care
Historical Hiker – Grandma Gatewood
Although aging may come with challenges, getting older does not need to slow you down. Learn the story of how Grandma Gatewood took on the Appalachian trail at age 67 and became an inspiration for hikers, seniors and women.
Finding Purpose in Your Senior Years
Seniors experience many changes as they go through life, and as their life changes so does their role in society and their responsibilities. As they enter retirement, seniors may struggle with transitioning to this new stage, and it’s important for them to take part in activities that help them rediscover their sense of purpose.
Tech Support Scams Catch Trusting Computer Users
Technical support scams happen when someone poses as representative from a company you know and trust, to try and improperly gain access to your computer or personal information. Seniors are the most vulnerable group to these types of scams, and it’s important to take steps to protect your elderly loved ones.
Activities for Dementia Patients
Staying engaged and stimulated is important for all seniors, for both cognitive and physical health, but especially for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Dementia is a gradually progressive illness and over time the individual will most likely have trouble learning new things. Having a routine in place that helps incorporate stimulating activities for your loved one can help enhance cognitive function, build a sense of productivity, provide focus, and give them something to look forward to.
Deciding Where Dad Should Live After Mom Has Passed
When caring for an aging parent, it can be difficult to manage on your own. Even more so when you’re trying to care for a parent who lives away from you. Having the support of a trusted geriatric care manager, who can assess your elderly parent’s needs, coordinate their medical and personal care across different settings, assist with making short- and long-term care decisions, and recommend legal and financial planning strategies can help you and your loved ones feel at ease, no matter the circumstances.
When the Caregiver Needs Care
Caregivers assist a person who has either long- or short-term limitations due to aging, illness, injury or disability. Many caregivers are close family members providing care to elderly family members at the expense of their own health and wellbeing. Lack of time for self-care, emotional and physical stress, sleep deprivation, depression, and isolation are just some of the challenges a caregiver may face.
Lessons We Can Learn from Plants
For many of us, Spring is a time for growth. As the days grow longer, the weather warms and plants and animals are returning from their winter dormancy. With these changes, you may be feeling motivated to make transitions as well. This year consider taking guidance from nature. Every plant has their own requirements to grow, and so do we!
Self-Care for Seniors
Many seniors have dedicated their life to the care of others. After years of putting the needs of others first, taking care of themselves first can feel wrong; however, self-care is essential for all aspects of life, including mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Staying Connected in a Socially Distant World
The restrictions caused by COVID-19 have also had a silver lining: many seniors and their families became more comfortable and skilled using telehealth, making video calls, and taking advantage of today’s technology. Learn more about how today’s seniors are embracing technology to stay connected.
Reducing Senior Stress During the Holidays
The holidays can be both really enjoyable and a source of great stress, especially for caregivers and their seniors. Something fun and festive could be overwhelming or unsafe for aging loved ones. Here are some ways to reduce both caregiver and senior stress this season to make the holidays as enjoyable as possible.
