Firstat Nursing Services, participates in Pain Awareness Month by providing tips to help seniors deal with chronic pain. Offers free online needs assessment to help families understand senior care options. Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services says, “It can be difficult for people to care for the senior citizens in their lives. With jobs, school and distance often separating them, finding good home care is an option that appeals to many. Here are 3 ways having a qualified caregiver gives senior citizens the ability to deal with pain on a more active level.”

Home Care Assists the Elderly in Getting Activity in a Safe Environment - Staying in the home is an important part of maintaining mental and emotional well-being, but being alone in a house can be challenging on several levels for the elderly.

Being active helps keep the joints and muscles fluid and moving, but pain makes it difficult to stay motivated, and many older individuals end up sitting or staying in bed all day to avoid it. Unfortunately, sitting around all day only makes chronic pain worse, and also encourages a feeling of isolation and depression. A home health care provider can work with the elderly to find enjoyable ways to stay active while maintaining the physical and environmental safety of the senior.

Staying Up to Date on Pain Medications - The elderly person’s physician will likely prescribe medications for both the conditions causing the pain to the senior citizen, and also for the pain itself. Those medications need to be taken regularly, and additional issues can arise from missed doses. A caring home health specialist will make sure the senior is taking their prescribed medications on time and regularly.

Helping Senior Citizens Deal with Pain through Nutrition and Stress Management - It is hard for many older individuals to cook and clean for themselves, leading many to live off of fast food or junk foods that are easily accessible. Having a visiting homecare professional check in daily and make meals that are nutritious gives them the fuel they need for their bodies to deal with illness.

The health care provider can also be a sounding board for the senior, who just needs someone to talk to in order to reduce stress and depression that comes from dealing with chronic illness and pain. In addition, a home care aid will help the senior citizen get out and enjoy fresh air, give the elderly someone to share their experiences with, and allow them to relax.

If you’re facing decisions regarding a loved one who prefers to age at home, and you’re not sure what to do, some good information can help. The image of at home health care services - elderly, sick patients receiving bedside care is misleading.

Here are three surprising facts about in-home health care services.

Skilled Nurses are Available on a Part-Time Basis - The best skilled nursing services offer part-time assistance. An hour here and there as you need it ensures someone is around when you can’t be. That’s on weekends or anytime you need just a little help.

In-Home Health Care Can Provide Companionship - Professional in-home care services go far beyond medical expertise, to offer friendship and a companion to spend time with your loved one. Sometimes a caregiver can even provide transportation for running errands or visiting with friends.

Certified Care for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care - Professional, certified help offers guidance to families who are unfamiliar with what to expect or how to manage specific challenges. A certified nurse can share important coping strategies, helping families better understand difficult diseases.

For families with aging loved ones, or injured relatives who need help caring for themselves, in-home skilled nursing is a smart solution. The right caregiver can administer medicine, provide support and more.

If you’re considering your options, here are three ways in home skilled nursing can help.

Household Chores, Meal Prep - Your expert in-home nurse can also assist in other ways - shopping, meal preparation and even light housework. A few hours here and there is an invaluable resource for busy family members worrying about a loved one.

Safe, Reliable Transportation - Whether it’s visiting with friends, joining a local group or attending events, few seniors are comfortable driving themselves. An in-home nurse can provide reliable transportation, ensuring love ones arrive safe and on time, every time.

A Friendly Companion - Professional medical training is invaluable, but in-home caregivers are also compassionate, kind and more than willing to spend time talking and sharing laughter with patients. Having a friend who is eager to listen and provide companionship is terrific.

Millions of people juggle full time work with raising children, attending to the home and in some cases, caring for a loved one who may be aging, injured or disabled. Managing all of these responsibilities at once is difficult. Luckily, there is a solution.

Here are three reasons to consider in home health care.

Attentive, Responsive Care - A professional in-home nursing service can visit the home when you need them, even part time. A few hours here or there is peace of mind that your loved one receives attentive, responsive care when you are unable to be there.

A Well Deserved Break - When someone you love needs something, you’re happy to be there. But taking a break, even to rest, is a healthy necessity. With a skilled nurse available, the time you spend with your loved one is happier and more productive.

Skilled Medical Expertise - Family members play an important role in keeping loved ones happy and healthy. But, it’s difficult to handle complex medications. A skilled nurse has years of training in exactly these situations, giving confidence that your loved one is in good hands.

Firstat Nursing Services, a Del Mar Home Caregiver Agency supports seniors by publishing “Tips for Communicating with Senior Loved Ones.”

Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services says, “Talking and listening to senior members of the family allows them to feel connected. It also helps validate their feelings, concerns and ideas.”

Here are three ways to create more effective communication with senior loved ones in the family.

Ask Questions to Learn More About Elderly Loved Ones – People are often amazed about the kinds of information that seniors share with their Del Mar Caregivers. Too often, young children, and even adult children of senior citizens, forget that the elderly people in their lives were once young, active and vital. 

Seniors had lives and experiences that younger members of the family may have only read about. Talking to a home health provider who is engaged with seniors on a daily basis can add extra insight as to what the elderly member of the family likes to talk about and what they don’t. 

Get Added Help to Keep Seniors Mentally Active - Having a health care provider bridge the gap between distant relatives or family members can help the senior remain mentally and socially active. A health care provider has the skills to understand what elderly clients have lived through. They can also help the senior get out and talk with community members, friends and local relatives in a safe and peaceful environment.

Be Patient with Senior Loved Ones – Old age does not mean elderly loved ones in the family do not have much to offer. It is often the case that it may take them a little longer to express what they have to say. Empathize with them, and take a moment to consider how physical limitations may make it more difficult to participate. 

Don’t leave elderly family members out of family activities whenever possible. Including them as part of a team is a big part of healthy communication, and making them feel like they are valuable members of the family. When family members are uncertain about how a senior will be able to handle certain gatherings or conversations, it can be helpful to speak with their health care nurse. Speaking with a professional caregiver can provide insight into how they might handle situations or get-togethers.

Attending to an aging or sick loved one can be rewarding. But with medical responsibilities, being a family caregiver can be stressful, tiresome and complicated.

Here’s how to support a family caregiver with the help and expertise they deserve through a professional in home care agency.

Promote Better Quality of Life
A visiting nurse can chaperone a loved one to an event or provide transportation to and from events. Having a professional on hand takes pressure off family and ensures loved ones receive age appropriate socialization.

Reduce Medical Risks With Skilled Experts on Hand
Family members often cannot provide the level of expertise of a skilled nurse. With years of experience and hands-on training, an in home professional provides top of the line care, reducing risk of medical issues from mishandling or error.

Provide a Much Needed Break
Even the most dedicated family members need a break, and a skilled professional can provide it. A few hours here or there is enough to give caregivers the chance to reenergize and rejuvenate a tired body and mind.

Few seniors are willing to move to an assisted living facility when staying at home becomes challenging and this can cause stress for family members. Luckily, at home care is a convenient solution, giving aging loved ones the help they need to thrive on their own.

Here’s how professional in home care promotes safe independence.

Medical Expertise at Home
Most seniors rely on a variety of medications to stay healthy and strong. With a skilled nurse on call, loved ones have peace of mind that mom or dad will take their medication as directed - the right dose at the right time - and with an experienced hand to help.

Housekeeping, Errands and Meal Prep
The right professional in home care agency offers more than medical assistance, but can also help with a variety of domestic duties. Vacuuming, laundry and meal prep is a help to busy children looking to ensure a parent has what they need.

Transportation to and From Appointments
With regular doctor’s appointments and other commitments, seniors need safe, reliable transportation - something family can’t always provide. At home care is a smart, practical way to make sure appointments are kept and loved ones have a safe ride.

Seniors may need help with day-to-day activities, but many are not quite ready to leave the home they love. Smart family members are turning to professional in home care agencies. Here are three ways the right agency can help you keep your loved one at home.

Daily Visitation and “Checking In” In home caregivers can visit for just an hour a day. Ensuring mom or dad has what they need provides important peace of mind for family members, and confidence that loved ones are safe and happy.

On-demand Medical Care from a Skilled Nurse Even if mom or dad doesn't suffer with a serious health issue, organizing daily medicines can be complex. Having a trained health care provider on hand to help administer daily doses prevents mistakes, and avoids confusion.

A Qualified Caregiver to Help with Transportation Professional in home care offers far more than just in house medical treatment. Friendly caretakers assist with traveling and transportation needs, including doctor’s appointments, and even trips to the grocery store.

In home care is nothing new. But one thing we didn’t know was how it effective it is at promoting health and wellness.

Here are 3 ways that in-home care can help improve happiness and health in loved ones.

Happiness and Well Being - Health care practitioners who visit the home provide assistance for seniors to engage in activities they enjoy. Taking a walk in the neighborhood, meeting friends and running errands helps seniors stay independent and happy.

Faster, More Efficient Recovery Time - Seniors recovering from surgery or illness tend to heal faster when surrounded by the comfort of home. Rather than recover in a hospital or medical facility, an in home caregiver provides the best medical treatment available.

Reduced Stress, Anxiety - Having a skilled caregiver ready to help out can ease stress and anxiety. Help with housework and preparing meals ensures your loved one makes competent decisions with the aid of a compassionate, friendly and fully trained professional.

When a loved one needs help, families often confront difficult decisions regarding care. Home health care is one solution. Here are a few reasons why skilled in home health care is a practical alternative to facility care.

One on One Focus and Support - With compassionate, personal care, in home caregivers often build strong bonds with their patients. Parents and family members get peace of mind and confidence that a loved one is getting the attention and respect they deserve.

A Cost Effective Solution - Family members are often surprised to learn that the average cost of home care is less than care in a skilled nursing facility. And, with comparable and even better outcomes, the personal, compassionate care provided by an in home nurse is invaluable.

Encouraging Safe Independence - No one wants to restrict independence from loved ones, but safety and security take priority. Hiring a qualified home care service to visit a few days a week is a smart way to ensure safety when family can’t be there to help. Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.

More than administering medication and providing nursing services, the right in home care agency offers peace of mind, companionship and hands-on expertise.

Here are three advantages of in home care and why it’s a smart choice.

Help Elderly Adults Stay in Their Homes Whether it’s taking an unplanned trip to the grocery store, picking up around the house, or preparing meals, the right caregiver can help. Seniors who are given the tools to age at home safely enjoy more confidence, improved mood and increased happiness.

Injection and Wound Care Management Whether it’s a long-term condition or just temporary, not having medical expertise on hand can be stressful. Regular visits from a skilled nurse gives family members confidence that a loved one is being cared for responsibly and with trained expertise.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care In home nursing services that specialize in Alzheimer’s and Dementia care provide much needed compassion and knowledge. With this level of help, the day-to-day realities of the disease are less stressful for families and their loved ones.

Firstat Nursing Services, an El Cajon Home Care Agency supports National Senior Independence Month in February. "Families are learning now that the longer they can help their senior loved ones remain independent, the more emotionally and physically healthy they will be,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways senior citizens can maintain their independence.

Stay Active - Healthy exercises like stretching and age-appropriate strength training help seniors maintain their lifestyle longer. Along with their doctor, a senior citizen can rely on their home care specialist to develop a personalized exercise plan, while enjoying some outdoor activities such as walking when physically possible.

Get Rid of the Mess - Clutter accumulates easily in any home, but it can create even more issues for senior citizens. An overly cluttered home can create emotional stress. Clutter in a room can also make it more difficult to navigate, and even dangerous in some situations. A health care professional can help organize treasured items, determining which items are no longer necessary.

Create Accessibility - Getting out of the house is one of the most important ways to avoid depression. Being able to get out and enjoy the fresh air, as well as run errands like shopping or getting to the doctor means having proper access in and out of the home. A home care assistant can help make sure seasonal needs are met by having snow and ice cleared by a professional regularly.

Millions of adult children are employing skilled nursing services at home as an alternative to moving a loved one to a long term care facility. If you’re wondering what to look for as you search, here’s what to expect from quality in home care.

Highly Qualified, Well Trained Nurses With many home healthcare services today, there’s no excuse for nurses to be anything but highly trained professionals. Check the website of providers you’re considering and look for accreditations and evidence of certificates.

A Commitment to Kindness and Patience Don’t forget the importance of compassion and kindness in a reputable expert. The caregivers you meet will be spending a lot of time with your loved one. A firm commitment to compassion, marked by kindness, respect and patience is non-negotiable.

A True Passion for Caregiving Caregivers who enjoy what they do are always in high demand. More than a job, when a skilled nurse has a true passion for caregiving, it shows. Look for agencies where staff speaks to you directly about their experiences, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.

A True Passion for Caregiving Caregivers who enjoy what they do are always in high demand. More than a job, when a skilled nurse has a true passion for caregiving, it shows. Look for agencies where staff speaks to you directly about their experiences, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.

Firstat Nursing Services, a Chula Vista Home Health Agency supports seniors by publishing smart tips for the holidays. People are never too old to make changes and use self-improvement skills to increase the quality of their lives. Experienced home care workers can make the difference between a happy and safe New Year and discouragement for seniors,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three self-improvement tips to make the New Year the best it can be for senior citizens.

Find Someone to Listen - Elderly citizens have lived long and fulfilling lives, and they have a lot to pass along. Caregivers provide a special service in being available to listen. Just having someone to listen gives seniors a revitalized sense of self-esteem and helps relieve depression and feelings of isolation.

Get Help with Modern Technology - The world is hard to navigate without advanced technology skills. Whether it is a smart phone, a computer or simply the TV, having a skilled home care provider to help navigate the high-tech world is smart. Most elderly people did not grow up with these tools, and even the simplest of programming can be confusing.

Help Dealing with Physical Limitations - Senior citizens face both physical and cognitive limitations that can be daunting if they are alone. A home caregiver can help them by showing them how to break down seemingly insurmountable tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. Just as important, caregivers ask their senior clients for their opinions so they understand that their input is valuable.

Firstat Nursing Services, a Rancho Bernardo Home Health Agency supports seniors by publishing smart tips for the holidays. In-home care can be a short-term arrangement for families to ensure the well-being of their senior loved ones during the holidays, or a long-term situation to help keep loved ones happy and healthy all year long,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways in-home care can help seniors with the holidays.

Get Out and About During the Holidays - One of the biggest obstacles to holiday gatherings for seniors is simply the inability to travel by themselves. An in-home caregiver can help seniors get out of the house to enjoy fresh air or visit with friends.

Stay Connected to Distant Relatives - For senior citizens with distant family members, a home care provider can keep connections strong through phone or the computer. They can also help find local gatherings where seniors share experiences during the holidays. In-home caregivers can arrange for transportation to events for those capable of getting out and socializing.

Beat the Holiday Blues with In-Home Care - Having an in-home care provider helps senior citizens beat the most dangerous aspect of the holidays, the isolation blues. Seniors are vulnerable to holiday depression, especially when family members are unavailable to stop by and visit due to other holiday commitments.

Watching parents age can be extremely stressful. We want to ensure our loved ones are not only happy as they grow older, but safe. When age related illness or diminished health impacts someone you love, a great solution is a top priority.

Here are three ways in home health care can benefit aging seniors.

Help Managing Self Care     
Seniors suffering with chronic pain often reprioritize self-care, neglecting hygiene and other self-care activities. Hiring an in home health provider is a smart way to ensure mom or dad has the help they need to successfully navigate self-care, such as bathing and dressing safely.   

Competent Medical Assistance         
Whether its help administering difficult care, or simply remembering to take prescriptions, in home care offers peace of mind. Reputable providers are happy to create a schedule that works on your time, whether it’s a few hours or full time care.

Encourage Safe Independence  
An aging loved one may not have the skills necessary to do things they enjoy, causing depression and unhappiness. A friendly caregiver gives them the security they need, building confidence and encouraging safe independence.

Firstat Nursing Services, a Poway Home Health Agency supports National Diabetes Month by publishing smart tips for seniors. “Managing diabetes requires some planning and a lot of assistance. Having a professional caregiver visit regularly can be of great help to a senior citizen living with the disease,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here’s how home health care can assist elderly individuals dealing with diabetes.

Assistance on Your Schedule-When people begin a home health care regimen for themselves or for an elderly loved one, the first thing they will usually do is meet with the caregiver to determine the best schedule for visiting. Some choose to have a health care nurse check in daily, some weekly and some even prefer live-in care for constant support.

Activities of Daily Living-Depending on the senior citizen’s needs, a health care provider can help manage diabetes by making sure medications are taken properly. A home health care provider can evaluate eating habits and the safety of food preparation in the home. When needed, the caregiver may even assist in the actual preparation of the foods for each meal.

Expert Medical Assistance-Trained caregivers can monitor blood sugar levels after meals, and keep in contact with a physician. Health care providers are trained to watch out for complications from diabetes, perform routine in-home monitoring of vital signs and inspect client’s feet and hands to maintain optimal health.

When parents and adult children live miles away from one another, providing day-to-day care may be impossible. Professional skilled nursing agencies offer solutions, helping family members ensure loved ones stay safe, happy and independent. Here are three ways skilled nursing care can help.

Someone There When You Can’t Be - Living miles away from an aging parent or loved one makes it hard to provide the daily attention and care a family member needs. Hiring a skilled nurse, to be there when you can’t, creates peace of mind that a loved one is safe and happy.

Assistance With Activities of Daily Living (ADL) - Seniors who need ongoing support with daily washing, dressing and grooming can get the help they need, safely and securely. Regular assistance, even for a few hours each day builds independence, preserving dignity and quality of life.

Complicated Medical Help - Seniors who need help managing medicinal care find compassion with a skilled nurse. Whether it’s helping with injections, or providing transportation, a skilled nurse delivers medical expertise on demand when it’s needed most.

Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports Emotional Wellness Month by publishing smart tips for seniors. “Having home health care services visit regularly can help people live long, happy and well-adjusted lives in their golden years,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Here are three ways in home care can encourage emotional health in seniors.

A Great Addition to Family Provided Care-A home health care provider can help ease the burden of providing round the clock care, making sure seniors have full-time care when family can’t be present. This increases the elderly person’s mental and emotional state by allowing them to live in the homes they love, surrounded by good memories.

Spend Time Outdoors-Home care givers can help seniors get out and enjoy good weather in a safe and healthy fashion. If the senior is able, a health care provider can make it possible for them to attend local social events with others their own age. These are the things that keep elderly minds active and happy.

A Compassionate Friend-When seniors face the loss of friends or loved ones, health care providers can help them adjust and move forward. In home caregivers are trained to recognize the signs of depression, withdrawal and other mental health issues, consulting with family and medical professionals to help seniors continue to live happy lives.

Firstat Nursing Services, a La Jolla Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports Self Improvement Month by publishing smart self-improvement tips for Seniors.

“Home health care can help elderly loved ones stay active, and keep a positive attitude. Methods of self-improvement also gives seniors a higher sense of self-esteem,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to make life safer and happier for senior citizens.

Play Mind Games - Home nurses who visit regularly can keep senior patients mentally active and involved. An active mind stays brighter and more focused. Mentally stimulating games help the senior emotionally as well.  Solving puzzles increases sense of self, stimulates the brain, and releases endorphins providing a feeling of happiness and well-being. 

Keep the Home Tranquil and Safe - Visiting nurses work to keep homes safe, while finding ways to make it peaceful. They can ensure seniors have proper nutrition and get adequate hygiene care to maintain their health. A health care provider can also ensure elderly clients maintain their medical schedules as well, keeping them up-to-date with doctor’s appointment. 

Get Seniors Moving - Healthy seniors need to get together with loved ones and friends. A home care provider can keep seniors moving, getting them out to exercise in an appropriate manner. They can also arrange for seniors to meet with family and old friends.

Choosing an in home caregiver for a family member is a difficult and stressful decision. Luckily, with guidance and a few tips, finding a trusted professional is easy. Here are three critical things to consider when choosing in home skilled care.

Check References Completely  
Nothing is more important than having complete trust in your home caregiver. Many agencies require background checks for staff, but it’s a good idea to look online to read what others have to say about an agency you are considering. 

Ask About Specific Care Expertise      
If a loved one is suffering with a specific condition, ask about expertise the agency has in addressing needs and challenges of that condition. Often, specialized care requires additional certifications.

Find Out the Parameters of Care      
In home health care can mean many different things - be sure to find out what is, and what is not, appropriate. Will caregivers run errands or drive to and from the doctor? Learn the parameters of care now and avoid misunderstandings later.

When a loved one is living with a debilitating disease, or an aging parent needs help, families often try to provide care from home. Long-term care can be complex and in home caregivers offer a practical solution.

Here are three important ways qualified in home caregivers can help.

Medical Expertise   
Keeping track of medications and making sense of complex details can be difficult for non-medically trained family members. A skilled nurse has trained for a variety of medical situations and is an invaluable asset. 

Safe Independence      
If a parent is elderly, but wants to stay in the home, having a trained caregiver visit part time is smart. A professional caregiver can offer assistance with meals and running errands—the perfect way to preserve independence while keeping them safe.

Outside Support      
A visiting nurse provides more than medical expertise for a loved one. The right professional offers ongoing emotional support for family members. A visit from a caregiver is the opportunity to take a break. With adequate rest, family can provide better care for a loved one.

Choosing an in home caregiver for a family member is a difficult, and stressful decision. 
Luckily, with guidance and a few tips, finding a trusted professional is easy. Here are three critical things to consider when choosing in home skilled care. 

Check References Completely  
Nothing is more important than having complete trust in your home caregiver. Many agencies require background checks for staff, but it’s a good idea to look online to read what others have to say about an agency you are considering. 

Ask About Specific Care Expertise      
If a loved one is suffering with a specific condition, ask about expertise the agency has in addressing needs and challenges of the disease. Often, specialized care requires additional certifications.

Find Out the Parameters of Care      
In home health care can mean many different things—be sure to find out what is and what is not appropriate. Will caregivers run errands or drive to and from the doctor? Learn the parameters of care now and avoid misunderstandings later.

Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports National Safety Month by publishing, 3 Ways to Make Life Safer and Happier for Senior Citizens. “Family members can help their loved ones stay safe and make the best of their golden years by providing assistance in several ways,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to make life safer and happier for senior citizens.

Cyber Security for Senior Citizens - Being online is a part of modern social culture, but seniors are one of the most often targeted age-groups for cyber-crime. Family members can help elderly loved ones understand the dangers of sharing personal information online and encourage them to create strong passwords that are unique.

Outdoor Safety - Spending time outside in the fresh air and sunshine is one of the best ways to fight the effects of isolation and depression. Family members should make sure elderly loved ones understand the pitfalls of summer heat by helping them avoid too much time in the hot sun and the importance of staying hydrated.

Home Safety - Family members can help seniors stay safe at home by getting help from a qualified home nursing company. Having a trained professional available to check in on a senior is smart. While care typically involves medical assistance, it also includes help with personal hygiene, light housekeeping and offers companionship on a regular basis.

Firstat Nursing Services, a home health and elder care nursing agency serving Poway, Rancho Bernardo and San Diego supports Stress Awareness Month by publishing, “3 Ways to Relieve Stress for Senior Citizens.”

“Stress is a serious problem for senior citizens, and a leading factor in senior depression,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three healthy ways for seniors to relieve stress and anxiety.

Read Inspiring Messages-Having plenty of inspirational books available or watching heroic movies can help seniors feel better about their own circumstances, and life in general. Caregivers can help by making sure seniors have classic literature, religious material or inspiring movies available.

Plan the Day Wisely-Most seniors know how to “work smarter, not harder” to get things done safely. But when the body can’t do the daily chores needed for healthy living, having a qualified caregiver visit is a great way to provide peace of mind that their needs will be taken care of safely.

Daily Exercise-Seniors benefit greatly from regular exercise, but many need help because of physical limitations. A home health care nurse understands elderly needs and can develop a physical activity plan that is beneficial and safe.

A skilled nurse offers trained medical expertise on demand, whether it’s addressing wounds, diagnosing illness or ensuring prescription drugs are taken as prescribed. In home care offers peace of mind and assurance that a loved one is receiving the absolute best medical attention available.

An Affordable Alternative to Long Term Facility Care
With part time and flexible hours, professional skilled nurses can offer the same level of expertise and hands-on help for less. Some families need help a few hours a week, others need just an hour or two before and after work - and many qualified agencies have options available to fit a wide range of needs and budgets.

For families looking for solutions to provide care for an aging loved, options may seem limited. With work, family responsibilities and other commitments, even the most dedicated family members are often unavailable. Luckily, there is a practical alternative to facility care. Here are three benefits to using professional in home care services.

Personalized, One-on-One Care
Professional caregivers who visit your home only have one goal in mind - to make your loved one comfortable and happy. Personalized, one-on-one care assures the best possible care - no questions asked, whether it’s overnight, full time days or just a couple of hours here and there.

Medical Expertise On-Demand
Having a trained professional on hand to deliver complicated medications, dress wounds and provide support and expert medical advice means peace of mind. Emotional changes that accompany aging or debilitating disease can be traumatic, and a professional caregiver can support the entire family as they handle challenging situations.

Safe Independence From the Comforts of Home
Seniors with the tools to age at home often lead happier, healthier, lives. Yet family members often worry about loved ones getting injured in the home. Without supervision, even simple activities can be dangerous. An in-home caregiver offers independence, restoring lost freedom to participate in enjoyable activities.

Firstat Nursing Services, a home care and home nursing agency serving Poway, Rancho Bernardo and San Diego supports healthy aging tips by publishing, “3 Ways to Make This Year the Best for the Senior Citizens in the Family.”

“For the elderly, enjoying a better life often involves getting more assistance to do things that have become overwhelming on a daily basis,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to make this year the best for the senior citizens in the family.

Promote Aging at Home-Living in a strange place, or moving in with family members creates a loss of independence that can be crippling and depressing for senior citizens. Instead, consider hiring a qualified home health care professional to provide regular assistance, allowing older family members to stay in the homes they love and cherish, while maintaining their sense of self-esteem and independence.

Spend Time Out of the House-While aging at home is one of the biggest indicators of good emotional and mental well-being for seniors, spending time out of the house is just as important. Senior citizens enjoy visiting with their families, but homecare providers can fill in the gaps by providing much needed assistance.

Encourage Physical and Mental Activity-Home health care providers can assist senior citizens with physical and mental exercise when they visit. Staying active helps seniors stay safe and happy. Home health care givers also provide a source of companionship—someone to talk to and share memories with.

Important decisions about who will care for an aging loved one can be difficult. While seniors typically live more fulfilled lives when given the tools to age at home, families are often unsure where to begin. Luckily, there are options, and senior living with assistance is a safe, practical solution. Here are three ways professional, qualified in home care can help.

Experienced Professionals In Your Home
Professional home care nurses are trained to work within the homes of their patients, tending to their needs in the same qualified way as if they were in a facility. That can mean administering difficult medications, assisting with daily activities, providing companionship and more.

Renewed Energy and Positivity
While there are many opportunities for laughter and fun, family caregivers rarely get the time they need to recharge, re-energize and refresh. Hiring in home caregivers is an easy way to ensure loved ones are surrounded by positivity, happiness and good energy. With regular scheduled break times, families often find the time they do spend with loved ones is more meaningful.

Safe Independence
Professional, in-home caregivers understand the potential disconnect between families and can provide objective, safe advice. With extensive experience dealing with a variety of age related illnesses, the right caregiver can anticipate behavior, making the transition from independence to assistance or back again easy and stress free.

“Caregivers can help seniors beat the holiday blues, and make the most of the opportunities to enjoy the time safely and happily,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways seniors can stay healthy during the holidays.

Fight Holiday Depression-The holidays are often a painful source of depression for the elderly. A homecare provider can keep seniors active, providing them with someone to talk to during the seasonal months. Skilled nursing providers are also prepared to help seniors contact friends and family that are close enough to visit, ensuring safe travel for elderly to spend time with loved ones.

Don’t Overdo It-It is often tempting for seniors to try and visit everyone that offers an invitation to a home or holiday party. Seniors should talk to their homecare provider and let them help create a reasonable schedule that lets them visit loved ones safely while still getting plenty of rest in between.

Don’t Feel Obliged to Buy Big-Living on a fixed income often means having to cut back on expenses. Counseling from a skilled nursing caregiver can help seniors determine how much money they have to spend on holiday gifts while being prepared to meet their own needs for the rest of the month and year.

With part time options, on-demand access, medical expertise and more, professional help is a smart choice. Here are three ways in home health services can help relieve caregiver burnout.

Day-to-day challenges can be demanding, and a support system is an invaluable resource. Professional care can also be compassionate care, and the right can caregiver provide encouragement, kindness and much needed peace of mind.

Renewed Optimism and a Breath of Fresh Air
Long term responsibility can create depression, anxiety and mood swings, making it tough to maintain a positive demeanor. Having a professional nurse visit a few days a week is a breath of fresh air. Seniors often look forward to visits and many develop strong relationships that foster independence and happiness.

Time to Prioritize

“Senior citizens are happiest when they can remain independent, and stay in their own homes as long as possible. Home health care makes that possible,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways home health care helps seniors live happier lives by staying in their own homes safely.

Health Care Providers Help with Daily Activities
Things many people take for granted, like getting dressed, making meals and completing basic hygiene tasks can be daunting for the elderly. In fact, they can be dangerous. Daily activities are common reasons elderly individuals move into senior assistance facilities or with grown children and their families.

Home care professionals offer in home care, helping seniors with daily needs, keeping them safe, comfortable and in good health. Home care providers can do everything from laundry and dusting to helping seniors bathe and take care of their oral health.

In Home Care Offers Safety

Quality Home Health Care Providers Offer Companionship
Many seniors face depression, which can negatively impact health and well-being. Older individuals are often separated from their families by distance or physical disability and home health care providers relieve feelings of sadness and isolation. Home caregivers will also help seniors enjoy outdoor activities whenever possible, enjoying sunshine and fresh air.

Family members who decide to care for loved ones at home often face challenges leading to high levels of stress and anxiety. In home care services can help, providing medical expertise, companionship and peace of mind in an uncertain time. Here are three ways professional in home care can ease stress.

Qualified Medical Expertise On-Demand
Without medical training, meeting senior needs can be complicated – it helps to have a professional on hand with the skills and know-how to help. In home care professionals can track complicated symptoms, administer medications and offer expertise as needed.

A Helping Hand
Professional caregivers offer far more than medical expertise, and can assist with housework, shopping, even transportation. For busy families, having someone available that’s trusted to cook a meal, vacuum or help with day-to-day activities is invaluable.

Peace of Mind and Companionship
In home care requires an “always-on” mentality, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated. Hiring a professional is a smart way to give family the time they need and deserve to step away and recharge. With trusted expertise available, family members can relax with confidence that a loved one is in good hands.

“Homecare providers can help the elderly remain in their home longer and enjoy life to its fullest, even helping seniors find relief from aches and pains,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

San Diego Homecare caregivers can assist the elderly with home therapy for chronic pain

Get Seniors Active and Moving – Getting the joints and muscles moving is a healthy way to lubricate painful areas, bringing blood and nutrients to injured areas. Many in-home caregivers and home nurse specialists are trained to help elderly people develop an exercise plan specifically designed for their abilities, ensuring that they understand the routine, and have help performing activities safely.

Keep Tabs on Prescription Medication – Opening pill bottles is a challenge for many seniors. However, when pain is severe, taking more pills than prescribed can be tempting. Trained and certified home nursing professionals can help by filling daily pill holders, making certain there are no extra pills available.

Seek Additional Help – Getting around outside the home is often difficult for older individuals. When pain is overwhelming, a professional caregiver can assist by ensuring seniors arrive at a physician’s office or physical therapist appointment. Having a caregiver present when the doctor or therapist explains treatment is an invaluable resource.

Formal Expertise

Promote a Happier Mood
With day-to-day activities and basic care demanding so much energy, there’s little leftover for enjoying meaningful time together. The right homecare nurse delivers much needed smiles and laughter. With optimism and a new sense of energy in the home, everyone benefits.

Foster Independence
An in home nurse is equipped with the expertise to understand when and if a senior can take strides toward retaining independence. A trained nurse understands these realities and is prepared to help your loved one face each new day with grace, not resentment or anger.

“September is healthy aging month, a time to help seniors see how healthy living and being fit isn’t just for the young,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways seniors can be healthier safely.

Eat for Nourishment Not Reward – As people age, they tend to stop worrying about waistlines with food choices more about desire and comfort – a reward for simply being older. Poor nutritional choices not only add pounds quickly, but also, raise blood sugar levels. Often, it’s easier for seniors to eat packaged foods instead of risking kitchen accidents. Caregivers can help prepare healthy meals that can be made in advance and frozen without a lot of fuss.

Find Safe Exercise Alternatives – Walking is a great activity, but can be difficult for seniors with limited mobility or balance issues. Ask a health care professional to suggest safe alternatives and exercises that can be modified for those with physical disabilities. Physical activity doesn’t need to be expensive. In fact, many are simple enough to do with common household items.

Utilize Senior Care San Diego for Support – Getting help from home health care providers is a smart move. Not only will senior care providers help develop a healthy routine for elderly people at all stages of abilities, but they can also check to ensure meals are nutritious, as well as monitor medical statistics to ensure patients do not over-extend themselves.

Helping a loved one age at home means choosing a trusted, competent skilled nursing agency. Here are three tips for finding professional skilled nursing services you can trust and depend on.

Compassionate Staff Makes all the Difference
Qualifications are vital, but nurses with a friendly demeanor project positivity in challenging environments. A true “passion” for care differentiates exceptional caregivers from those who just go through the motions.

Licensed and Certified

“It’s important for caregivers and all members of the family to ensure senior loved ones are included in activities, and that they get regular socialization weekly,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to incude senior citizens in family fun.

Set Up a Schedule for Weekly Visits – Enlist a qualified home health care professional to stop by senior homes weekly to check in on older loved ones. Health care providers can keep elderly clients physically and mentally active while checking on all aspects of health needs, including hygiene and nutrition.

Do More Than Invite Older Relatives – As people age, they may not be capable of getting around easily. While there is no set age when mobility becomes an issue, family members should keep an eye on older relatives, watching for signs that may prevent them from attending important family gatherings such as birthdays, anniversaries and holiday parties.

Let Them Host the Party – While it’s unreasonable to expect an elderly relative to do all of the work involved in hosting a party or family event, there are a many ways to bring the party to them. Arrange for family members to supply food and have others arrive early to help set up, allowing seniors to feel connected. Keeping elderly loved ones mentally and emotionally fit requires regular interaction. Consider hosting weekly or monthly game nights or ice-cream parties.

Providing full time homecare can be stressful and you may be interested in exploring your options with professional help. Here are three ways the right home health care agency can help.

Better Manage Daily Activities
The skills to go about daily life – washing, dressing and basic grooming, often decline with age or debilitating disease. Qualified home nursing care provides an easy way to get extra hands-on assistance for better management of daily activities.

Proven Medical Expertise
With medical knowledge, professional home health care providers offer important peace of mind. For administering complicated medications and care, having trained expertise on hand is invaluable.

Companionship
Seniors are happiest when given the tools and resources to age at home.
Skilled in home nurses are uniquely qualified, professional and compassionate – a friendly face and a dose of positivity in uncertain times.

“Loneliness is a leading cause of depression, especially amongst the elderly,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. She continued, “Having people around older individuals helps them live fuller, healthier lives, and keeps them mentally and spiritually happier.”

Here are three ways an elder care San Diego agency can improve social wellness for the elderly.

Regular Home Health Care Visits are a Source of Human Interaction – For many older individuals, caregivers are the main source of human contact on a regular basis. Without someone checking in on them, many wouldn’t have anyone to talk to. While there are many aspects of senior care that are necessary to maintain physical health – medical checkups, ensuring proper nutrition, assisting with hygiene needs etc., the simple act of checking in on seniors and talking to them is often one of the most important.

Caregivers Get Seniors Out of Their Shells – For many seniors, the beloved home that they desire to stay in can end up feeling like a prison. The home holds many memories – both inside and out. Home health care personnel are trained to identify the signals of depression and isolation, and when signs present themselves, they can help contact friends and family or help them enjoy the fresh air and meet people outside of their homes.

Professional Services Develop the Connections Older People Need When Providing Senior Care – When elderly are separated by many miles from the families they once depended on for social connections, it can be daunting. Some simply have no idea how to meet new people, and at times are reluctant to open up to strangers in social settings.

Home health care nurses help seniors find community services, meetings and events geared toward people their own age, helping them feel comfortable in new settings with new people. When communities offer special senior transportation services, health care providers can help make arrangements to get senior clients the transportation they need.

For seniors, living independently is important. But when disabilities pose risks, it may be time to consider the options. Here are 3 signs in home nursing care may be right for your loved one.

Safety Is an Issue
Day-to-day activities – dressing, bathing and cooking meals can be dangerous when mobility declines with aging. In home care can eliminate risk at specific times during the day, when a slip in the tub or accident in the kitchen is likely to occur.

Care has Become Complicated
Nursing assistance at home means medical expertise on-demand. When it’s time for complicated care, having a professional available is an invaluable resource.

Uncharacteristic Behavior
Debilitating disease typically comes on slow, with changes in behavior taking shape over months, even years. With decades of expertise, in home care can help family understand and cope with the uncertainties of disease.

“Living safe for seniors is more than just avoiding problem areas and hazardous activities,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Elderly people face dangers and safety hazards at almost every turn in daily life”.

Here are three ways homecare can help seniors live healthier, safer lives.

Home Health Care Provides Active Listening and Problem Solving for Senior Citizens – Families can be impatient when dealing with senior family members at times. Having someone to listen and help deal with difficulties is an important part of maintaining a healthy attitude with age.

A San Diego Home Health specialist will listen to senior needs, helping them discover safe ways to get things done, as well as stay healthy by discussing potential problems with a family physician.

Relief from Caregiver Duties – When a senior lives with family members, there is often a misconception that they do not need outside help. Providing full time care is a strenuous job, and regular breaks ensure seniors get the attention they deserve while caregivers remain fresh and relaxed. A home care provider can schedule weekly or daily visits, allowing caregivers to get outside work done, or help with other aspects of senior health.

Bringing Patients and Physicians Together – By remaining at home, independent and self-reliant, seniors experience improved self-esteem. Home care professionals make it possible for an elderly individual to stay in the home they love – a proven advantage when it comes to senior healthcare.

“Keeping the family together and teaching new generations to appreciate the family unit are primary concerns for most people,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services in San Diego, CA.” Here are three ways a home health provider can encourage that family wellness and togetherness for seniors.

Keeping Seniors Happy, Engaged and Active – A San Diego home care service will provide personnel that are well trained in providing quality physical and mental care to keep elderly family members healthy throughout the year. They can also give seniors someone to talk to who will listen to their stories while providing stimulating conversation.

Home Health Care Services Help Seniors with Hygiene and other Physical Needs – During regular visits a home health care provider will make sure seniors are getting the proper nutrition, signing them up for local services such as meals on wheels, or creating well-balanced meals and packing them for the senior to use later.

Home Nursing Keeps Families Connected – A home health care provider can make sure family members always have access to their elderly loved ones. They can also help provide the transportation and assistance in getting seniors to local family outings, and even aide in travel arrangements for longer distance gatherings when possible. In addition, a home care provider will work with the elderly person’s physician to make sure that all medical needs are met while outside the home, as well as always monitoring vital statistics at regular visits.

While the advantages of aging at home are undisputed and seniors benefit from the expertise of medically trained nurses, caregivers benefit as well. If you are currently caring for an elderly loved one at home, or considering your options, here’s some information you may find helpful.

A Well Deserved Break
Even the most enthusiastic caregivers can experience burn out, frustration and stress. In-home skilled nursing services offer the chance to take a few hours to recharge, reenergize and refuel – to return refreshed and ready to face what lies ahead.

Peace of Mind and Security
Typically, families are not trained in all things medical, and it’s helpful to know a medically trained nurse is on hand. For administering medication or giving injections, a skilled expert is an invaluable asset, and one most caregivers are delighted to have.

Guidance, Direction and Confidence
When seniors progress through the many stages of aging, families are often unsure about how best to handle difficult and changing emotions. Professional in-home skilled nurses are familiar with all of these transitions and are prepared to help both you and your loved one.

Aging is a natural process we all will face someday.  To reduce the aging symptoms we must take steps to maintain our health. The do not list:

Don’t exercise before going to bed - Exercise will get you all pumped up and your heart rate goes up, you’ll get yourself going and then you won’t be able to relax. Exercise routines are best done in the morning, since it boosts your energy.

When you wake up, work out before you continue your day since you will find it much easier. On the other hand, some people prefer to workout in the afternoon. If this is you, the afternoon is good as well, since it will boost the energy wasted from the earlier part of your day.

What keeps you awake?  - Snoring is something that can keep you awake at night. Sometimes snoring occurs from obesity or sleep disorder and so on. If you have a snoring problem, perhaps visiting your doctor will help you find the answers to your problem. Losing weight by exercising can give you the activity you need for those bones as well as sleeping and sometimes losing weight isn’t bad for us either. Your partner may snore as well, which keeps you awake at night. If your partner snores ask him/her to visit, the doctor to find out if a medical condition exists. It’s better to know now, rather than wait until it is too late.

Depression and stress can keep us from getting a restful night of sleep. Try practicing yoga. Yoga will help you develop meditation skills. The skills you acquire will help you to relax. Yoga workouts reduce ugly depressive symptoms, which includes stress. Aromatherapy and listening to music will also help to relax you and lessen that depression and stress.

If you don’t seem to be having any luck with whatever you try and your still waking up in the morning feeling like you haven’t had any sleep forever consult your physician. Talk to your doctor to see if he has any ideas that can help you live healthy. Perhaps your doctor can provide you with healthy sleeping remedies that allow you to sleep peacefully.

Eating healthy - is another great way to live a healthy aging life. When you eat the proper food groups daily, you are building your body by providing it with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients it requires to live healthy. As you grow older however, your body will need more of one thing than it will another. Ask your doctor about a diet suitable to help you grow healthy as you age.

Vitamins and herbs are a great way to increase your health and reduce risks of disease. If your body gets the proper vitamins it needs, your body will work to live longer. You have a wide selection of vitamins available to you, yet you should learn more before taking them.

Seniors are more prone to disease, accidents and dangers when doing physical activities, since their bodies are less active, weaker and less flexible than when they were younger. It is important to note that most are still capable of doing the same things, except that the intensity, duration and extent need to be toned down a bit for their safety and convenience.

Basic Safety Measures - It is important to keep in mind that you can only provide activities that senior citizens can tolerate. Some activities may already be too severe or strenuous for them to participate in, even though they may want to.

Check for signs of fatigue, stress and potential dangers. Make sure that the environment you choose is completely free of debris and other items that might lead to accidents, falls and wounds. The elderly are particularly prone to fractures and their healing mechanisms also tend to slow down, which is why you need to avoid injury and stress as much as possible.

Mental Health - It is equally important to consider the mental health of the elderly to make sure that they are living normal lives. You can provide activities that will boost their social welfare, such as letting them join sports activities, seminars, group counseling services and other extracurricular events. Seniors tend to battle feelings of anxiety and despair with self-fulfillment. Let them talk to others who were also in the same position before.

Tools for Safety - There are many aids available to ensure safety for the elderly. Some of the most popular are wheelchairs, canes, bandages for the joints, etc. You should also assess the environment and provide the necessary tools to keep seniors comfortable for various activities. Hats, sweaters, water bottles, diapers, etc. may be needed depending on the individual capacity. Always have a first aid kit ready, and keep a number of emergency services in your phone or wallet, just in case.

Assessing Performance - For starters, it is always advised to give seniors activities that are right for their age and physical tolerance. Over time, you can increase the duration and intensity to continue building strength and endurance. Assess the performance of different individuals and allow them to give you feedback. Their suggestions can be very useful when developing a program for maintenance and wellness.

As we grow older, we need to stay active to keep our bodies and system in shape. The older a person gets the less our bodies want to function so keeping it in shape is very important for all of us, even the younger people.

Sleeping is very important to all of us as we are aging. Aging brings on a different sleep pattern and we need to learn how to control it so when it is time to sleep we sleep well. It is normal as we age that it becomes harder to get a good nights sleep and feel rested when we wake up. Sleeping is as important as our diet and activities.

Did you know that it is hard for woman to sleep more so than men in their aging years? Women have more tendencies to feel stressed out more and they sometimes are just too busy to get themselves into an exercising routine. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, it will reduce your alertness during the day because you’re tired. Long periods of sleepless nights can cause high blood pressure and isn’t good for the heart either.

There are many reasons why some people can’t achieve a restful nights sleep. Sometimes you might sleep but it is a light sleep and we need to have a deep restful REM sleep. Sometimes you may awaken during the night from pain perhaps caused from arthritis. Sometimes you may experience heartburn, which causes you to get less sleep. Snoring or feeling depressed sometimes can also cause you to loose sleep. You may have a stressful day followed by the lack of sleep. Muscles spasms can also cause a person to loose sleep.

How you can reduce the problems that cause you to loose sleep:

Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine can cause us to lose sleep. Try not to drink liquids before going to bed, and stop smoking. Smoking not only harmful to your body but it can cause you to lose sleep. Excessive noise in the house, the TV or radio in the bedroom and snoring are some more reasons that can keep us from sleeping. Don’t try to go to bed and watch TV or listen to the radio; this will only keep you awake longer. You can learn to enjoy exercises to reduce muscles spasms and/or arthritic symptoms. You can also reduce eating unhealthy foods that cause heartburn, or drinking caffeine-based substances before you go to bed to improve your sleeping pattern.

Do you have a pet that sleeps with you? Even though you think they are giving you comfort it could cause you to lose that precious sleep you need. You may not realize it but every time your pet moves, maybe snores; you can hear this while sleeping. Maybe you might have to get your pet a bed and let him sleep on the floor next to you. If you have allergies, your pet may be the cause, which can make you loose sleep as well.

Napping is not good if you take one during the day for more than 25 minutes. I realize that maybe your not getting enough sleep during the night and you get tired in the afternoon. However, when you lie down during the day and sleep for a long time, when it is time to go to bed, you’ve had just enough sleep that you’re not as tired.
Before you lie down to rest, you should also consider drinking a warm glass of milk. Studies have shown that warm milk helps a person to relax.

The brain releases stress hormones to help use manage some stress but if to many hormones are released it can damage the nerve cells. Depression can set in if the hormones are released too much and fast.

Try taking a walk or do some kind of activity to relax that brain not stress it. Putting some fun into your life and make yourself happy again.
Sometimes it takes awhile to make changes in your life, as we grow older to fit your health and needs. Changes are hard to do and it sometimes becomes a challenge but in the end, it will relieve stress and improve the brain by giving it a new learning experience.

When you first begin researching senior living facilities, you may be surprised (and a bit confused) to find that you have a number of different facility types to choose from. Need some help sorting through all of them? Here is a rundown of the different types of senior living facilities:

Independent living - As the name suggests, these facilities are best for seniors who are, more or less, completely independent. Seniors who can care for themselves benefit from the convenience, socialization, and activities provided by an independent living facility. There are no personal care professionals at an independent living facility, unless they are privately hired.

Assisted living - Assisted living facilities are for seniors who are relatively independent, but who require limited personal care services (help with dressing and taking medications, for example). These facilities employ a personal care staff that consists of personal care assistants (PCA) and certified nursing aides (CNA).

Nursing home care - Nursing homes are for those seniors that require round the clock care from medical professionals. These facilities employee a staff of nurses, generally headed by a registered nurse (RN) and occasionally overseen by a physician.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CRRC) - These facilities offer all of the living environment and personal care services of the three options listed above. They are perfect for independent seniors who like the idea of growing older in a single place.

No one likes the thought of placing a loved one in a senior living facility, but sometimes it’s just the right thing to do. When do you know when that time has arrived? Here are some signs it’s time to begin your search for a senior living facility:

Personal Care - When your loved one seems to be slacking in the area of personal care and hygiene (bathing, grooming, and brushing teeth, for example), it may be time to search for a living environment in which necessary help will be provided.

Memory loss - Memory loss can cause some serious consequences for seniors. These problems may range from forgetting to turn off the stove to driving to an unfamiliar place and getting lost. If your loved one is showing signs of memory loss, you may be doing the best thing by choosing a senior living facility for placement.

Medication - Many seniors are on a strict medication regimen. If your loved one has a difficult time keeping up with a medication schedule, then you may need to enlist the help of professionals at a senior living facility.

Eating and nutrition - It is all too easy for less-abled seniors to forego proper eating habits—sometimes ignoring doctor-imposed dietary restrictions altogether—without guidance. At senior living facilities, residents are given the eating and nutrition guidance they need.

Mobility - Seniors may suffer mobility problems for any of a number of reasons, from arthritis to failing eyesight. This presents many dangers, in the form of slip and fall accidents. If your loved one has a difficult time rolling out of bed, sitting, standing, or climbing stairs, then you may need to consider placement with a senior living facility.

The sad thing about senior citizens and the younger generation is that they seem to ignore each other. A lot of people think that since older individuals have lowered activity tolerance and are not as mentally active as before, they do not really need much stimulation. The fact is, these people are constantly searching for attention. Here's what you can offer.

Start the Day Right - Seniors wake up earlier than before, since they need less sleep than regular adults. A typical night's sleep lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 hours for most. You can expect them to wake up at around 5am to 7am in the morning. It will be good to give them a hearty breakfast once they open their eyes. Greet them warmly and have the table set up. A good menu will include items like oatmeal, a piece of apple or orange, coffee or juice and a tall glass of water. While eating, give him or her an itinerary of the activities for the day so they can prepare well.

You can assist the elderly get ready for the day's actions, by helping them dress, shower and do their other bodily routines. Some will prefer doing things independently, so it will be better to just hand them items like the brush, the towel and slippers and let them do everything else to promote independence and feelings of self-confidence.

Some Physical Activity - Start the day with some form of exercise to improve muscle strength and condition. Some of the activities that you can offer include a round of golf, swimming, walking to the nearby mall, doing yoga and hitting the gym for some lightweight training. Do activities according to the preference and physical capacity of the individual. The session should last anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes at a time, even if the person believes that he or she can tolerate or do more.

Take time to warm up for 5 to 10 minutes through stretches and cardiovascular exercise. Cool down in the end as well by stretching and flexing. Make sure you bring a bottle of water for the elderly to consume throughout the exercises. They tend to become dehydrated sooner than others, so stay prepared especially on very hot days. If the senior experiences anything painful or uncomfortable about the activity, stop it immediately and find the source of the problem.

Buying Them Toys - Seniors want to hold on even to small material possessions as a way to ease boredom. Some of the "toys" or items that you can give them to stay mentally alert and focused are a book, a cross stitch set, a sewing kit, a drawing book or a canvass. Take the elderly to the local department store, mall or bookstore and have them pick a couple of things that they would like to keep at home. You can ask the people too, the particular hobbies and activities they used to do when they were younger. Try to find things that they can associate with easily.

Ensuring Safety - Make sure that the senior is fully secure and safe throughout all the activities done. If the weather is hot, provide an umbrella, sunglasses and hat. For colder seasons, give gloves, a jacket and boots. Protect the elderly from potential dangers while doing activities like going up the stairs, playing sports and cooking. Always be right beside the person to assist and have some materials prepared such as the emergency hotline and first aid kit.

Seniors should not be taken away from the scenes as they still have a lot of strength and tenacity to indulge in the things as they used to when they were younger. You can provide a wide array of activities, depending on their personal preferences and capacity. You may be surprised on how the elderly can boost endurance and strength with just a few routines.

Finding a Hobby - There are a variety of hobbies and crafts that seniors can indulge in to improve their physical and mental capacities. A good example is drawing, sketching or painting where they can freely express themselves in art and color. Ask the senior what type of platform he or she is most interested in working on, then provide the materials such as a charcoal or pencil and paper, a canvas and paint or some markers. You may teach them how to make cartoons too, which can be very entertaining and fun.

Another hobby that can exercise the mind includes the creation of model cars and airplanes. This is one hobby that the senior citizens of today used to enjoy when they were younger. There are a variety of models to work on, such as vintage cars, tanks, vintage planes and even ships and bicycles.
For the Women - Female senior citizens enjoy sewing and working on cross stitch patterns. You can provide the right materials like embroidery kits, t-shirts, dresses, caps, socks, etc. and let them start getting creative. Some even enjoy fixing loose buttons, holes and putting patches, so feel free to ask and let them start on their way to occupational therapy.

Music Matters - Other senior citizens are highly adept and never lose their touch on music. Try to ask their specific instrument of interest or type of music, then provide them the right tools like a pen and paper, music book, speakers, amplifiers and the particular tool like a guitar, violin, flute, trombone or drums maybe. One of the best things about music is that you can always do it with a group or partner. Feel free to bring your own musical instrument and begin making beautiful melodies together.
Form a band of senior musicians and introduce some fun genres like modern, jazz, hip hop or even techno. Singing and dancing are also essential activities for seniors that are good for boosting morale and confidence and improving relationships among individuals. If they can get better in these, they can always gain a renewed sense of fulfillment and continue to progress, thereby sharpening their mental and physical skills.

Occupational Therapy - Even though seniors are well into their retirement age, it is still important that they stay capable of performing various tasks and functions that will maintain independence and enhance self-confidence. Allow them to perform activities of daily living or ADL like eating, brushing their teeth, bathing, getting dressed, etc. Also introduce them to certain minor tasks like cleaning their room, fixing their bed, creating works of art like pottery or sculpture, reading books and staying updated via the internet.

Occupational therapy is good also for older individuals to encourage them to stay independent for the rest of their days. You can accomplish this by forming a buddy system, so they always have someone to rely on, during cases of emergency and difficulty. Activities for seniors can be done both indoor and outdoors.

It’s scary to feel light-headed or like you’re spinning out of control and are going to fall - especially if you fear breaking a bone or losing consciousness. There are a number of medical issues that could cause balance problems, but luckily there are tests that can determine why you have this concern and ways to control it.

You may have a balance disorder if you feel like you’re moving even though you aren’t. It’s a sense of floating or spinning that makes it seem as if you’re going to fall. Our sense of balance is controlled by a place in the inner ear called a labyrinth, connected to an elaborate structure called the vestibular system. The vestibular system is responsible for some of our sensory perceptions such as our eyes.

When this intricate system gets out of sync, a balance disorder may occur. It could be caused by a viral or bacterial ear infection, problems with blood circulation or a head injury. Various medications can also cause dizziness and aging can also cause balance problems. Balance problems can begin suddenly and there may not be a reason that you can pinpoint.

That’s why it’s important that you see your health care provider right away so that he can diagnose the problem and help restore your balance. Some types of balance disorders include:

• Vertigo - Vertigo may occur when you merely turn your head. That’s because part of your vestibular system, the cupula, doesn’t tilt as it should. This malady sometimes happens as one ages or the cause could be a head injury.

• Vestibular neuronitis - You may experience vertigo (dizziness when you turn your head) because of an inflammation of the vestibular nerve caused by a virus.

• MdDS (Mal de debarquement syndrome) - Sometimes simply called sea-sickness, MdDS affects some people on an ocean cruise. It causes nausea, feelings of rocking to and fro and can last a few hours, days or even months after returning to land.

• Leakage of inner fluid (Perilymph fistula) - You may experience balance problems if you have a leakage of inner ear fluid into the middle ear. Many situations can cause the disorder - change in atmospheric pressure, ear infection, head injury or ear surgery. Nausea and dizziness may occur.

• Upper respiratory infection (Labyrinthitis) - An infection of the inner ear that can cause dizziness or loss of balance.

These are some of the most common causes of balance problems, and if you’re experiencing some or all of these symptoms you should see your health care provider immediately before a fall occurs.

If you see a general practitioner, he or she may want you to see an ENT doctor - a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose and throat. Depending on your health status, the ENT doctor may order tests to better diagnose the cause of your balance problem. Once diagnosed, your doctor may simply give you a prescription for medication or suggest ways to deal with chronic balance problems on a daily basis.

Our ability to taste is one of the most pleasurable senses we have and even though the ability to taste as we once did may decline as we age, most of the time there isn't a huge change and we should be able to enjoy foods as we age as much or more than before. Taste sensitivity helps us enjoy our food and drink and helps us determine if food is good or bad for us.

Seniors with a serious taste sensitivity problem may experience loss of appetite, which leads to weight loss and less socialization. Depression may occur and the person may find it more and more difficult to eat - or enjoy what she's eating. If the problem gets this serious, the immune system may suffer and she may be more susceptible to diseases.

As we age, we may experience some problems that affect the body and mind, including a change in our sensory perceptions. Our sense of smell may affect how we eat, enjoy food and drink and also affect the type of nutrients we put in our bodies. Depending on how severe the loss of smell is, it could actually be dangerous if it means we don’t smell hazardous chemicals, gas leaks and smoke.

Our sense of taste is also affected by our sense of smell. If you eat something while holding your nose, you might taste salt, bitterness or sweetness, but you won’t taste the robust flavor of what you’re eating. The sensory perception that affects our sense of smell is call olfaction and this is what weakens when you age.

The fact that you lose sense of taste as you lose sense of smell is especially problematic for seniors. It could result in lack of appetite or of eating foods that aren’t good for you just to try and taste them. Think about how fresh bread baking makes your salivate and then think about how it would be if you couldn’t smell it. Your enthusiasm for eating would certainly wane.

Anyone who needs to control his or her diet may be greatly affected by sense of smell. If the olfactory system quits working or weakens, it’s more difficult to control and stick to a nutritious diet plan and a greater risk of chronic diseases is possible. You might eat less fruits and vegetables because they only seem to taste bitter rather than producing the same great taste they used to have.

Some seniors eat a lot of sweets and food that contain a high volume of fat because they can taste them and tend to eat more than those without a sense of smell problem. These seniors may become overweight or obese and become even more susceptible to dangerous or deadly diseases.

Surprisingly, when you chew food, the flavor of it is recognized in the olfactory bulb that rests behind the bridge of the nose. Seniors who have gum disease or other problems with teeth and gums may not chew as heartily and much of the taste disappears because the flavor never reaches the olfactory bulb.

Sinus problems and blockages of the nasal passages can also interfere with the olfactory bulb and your ability to perceive the taste of foods and your sense of smell. These disorders are often found among seniors and the results may damage certain receptors which can lead to diet problems and eventually, immunity problems.

Cancer patients, especially those who have had chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery could possible go through a cycle of damaged sense of smell and a reluctance to eat a proper diet because of lack of appetite or damaged sense of taste.

Research has found that spices and herbs don’t help with the taste of foods when a person loses their sense of smell. There’s no way to restore olfaction, but you can balance the problem by choosing natural sweeteners, powerful herbs and spices and by taking vitamin and mineral supplements.

Healthy aging in women is different than it is for men. As a woman you have special needs that need to be addressed. You experience many changes hormonal and as you age your risk for other conditions increases.

First, menopause is one of the most talked about changes a woman experiences as she ages. During this time your menstrual cycle stops and you have a major fluctuation in hormones. Eventually your body starts to compensate as other glands produce estrogen.

Many women choose to go through the natural process of menopause, but others choose to use hormone replacement therapy. This therapy can help you to feel more energy, have a stronger sex drive, and combat problems such as hot flashes.

When you think of heart disease, you most likely think about men. However, heart disease is also the number one killer in women. As you age, the changes in hormones actually cause your risk of heart disease to increase.

It’s important to get regular exercise and eat a heart healthy diet to help prevent heart disease. You should also get your cholesterol tested and talk with your doctor about any type of screening you need. Depending on your family history you may need to take a regular stress test.

Breast cancer also becomes a greater risk as you get older. It’s important to get regular mammogram screenings so that you can catch anything that’s going on early. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and also one with the best prognosis if you get early treatment.

As you age, your bones can also become more brittle. This problem is more common in women than men and is called osteoporosis. As your bones lose calcium they can become weaker and they can break more easily. This is one of the reasons older women have more fractures.

In order to have strong bones, it’s important to participate in weight bearing exercises. Walking is a great exercise for your lower body, but you should also make sure to do some kind of strength training for your upper body.

As your muscles contract, they pull on your bones and this stimulates the strengthening of them. Strength training exercises and taking calcium supplements is critical for your bones as you age. You should also discuss bone density screening with your doctor.

Most women are also concerned about their skin as they age. A diet high in vitamins and minerals as well as vitamin E supplements can help slow down the aging process of skin. Products containing retinol can also stimulate your skin to build new healthy tissue.

A healthy lifestyle is the most important factor for healthy aging in women. Eating a healthy diet, getting exercise, and talking with your doctor about getting appropriate screenings can help you to get the most of this time in your life.

As you grow older, you may begin to wonder is healthy aging possible?  No matter how hard you try, some things about your body are going to change over time.  But you can make lifestyle choices that give you the best possible life in your senior years.

The best time to make good choice for healthy aging is when you’re young.  The choices you make beginning in your teenage years can have a big impact on how well you age.  For example, choosing to smoke while young can have lasting consequences on your health as you age.

But even if you’ve lived a pretty carefree lifestyle, it’s never too late to start making positive changes that lead to better health.  Let’s take a look at the major areas where you can make lifestyle improvements that will help you to have a high quality life as you get older.

Nutrition is an area that always makes a big impact.  When you eat healthy foods, you give your body what it needs to get strong and to heal.  Nutrition is critical to keep your memory, muscles, and bones strong.  It can also provide you with the energy you need to complete your daily tasks.

Eating foods that are nutritious can also help your skin age at a slower rate and keep your hair shiny and healthy.  As you age, your nutritional requirements change from your younger years.  It’s important to make sure you’re getting the right foods.

Exercise is another critical component of healthy aging.  Weight bearing exercise helps to keep muscles toned and your bones strong.  Aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming help to keep your heart and lungs healthy. 

It’s also important as you age to continue to keep current with health screenings for your body.  For example you should have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked.  Women should have mammograms as advised by their doctors and men should make sure to get the PSA test for prostate cancer.

Knowing your current health status can help you to make changes to improve your health as you age.  You’ll be able to take control of how you feel in this wonderful season of your life.  Is healthy aging possible?

It absolutely is.  And when you’re at your best possible health, you’ll be able to enjoy this time of your life more.  For example, you’ll have the energy you need to spend time with your grandchildren.

You’ll have the ability to spend time with friends and go on new adventures.  You can live and move without pain and you can look your best a healthy body and healthy skin.  You’ll also be able to enjoy your independence as you age.

With good lifestyle choices and attention to your health, you can make your senior years the best years of your life.  Healthy aging is within your reach when you take care of your body and put your health on the top of your to do list.

As you get older, concerns about aging and memory loss can be troubling.  You may have seen friends and loved ones experience this problem and you’ve seen how painful it can be.  There are some forms of memory loss that are mild while others can be severe.

While you may initially be concerned about memory loss caused by Alzheimer’s disease, there are actually many causes of memory loss that are not related to it.  If you have serious memory loss problems occurring, it’s important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

Memory loss can be a side effect of some medications.  By changing to a different medication you may be able to combat the problem.  You may also have deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals that lead to problems with memory.

Problems such as depression and loneliness can also be related to aging and memory loss.  In addition, experiencing a fall or other type of injury can lead to memory problems.  The use of too much alcohol has also been shown to impede memory.  Memory loss can also indicate an illness or injury that hasn’t been diagnosed.

If you’re already experiencing memory loss, it’s time to seek treatment.  There’s much that can be done to diagnose and treat memory problems as you age.  But if you’re currently experiencing a good memory, there are things you can do to prevent problems with memory.

Aging and memory loss don’t have to go hand in hand.  First, it’s important that you keep your mind active.  Reading, solving puzzles, and playing games of strategy help to keep your mind sharp.

It’s also important to keep your social life active.  When you spend time with friends you keep your mind active as well.  You also lower your risk of depression caused by loneliness and isolation.

Exercise is another critical part of keeping a strong memory.  It helps to increase blood flow all over the body and provides your brain with oxygen.  It prevents problems such as heart disease and hardened arteries that might lead to memory problems.

A nutritious diet that includes a variety of lean proteins, whole grains, and lean meats can insure that you get the vitamins and minerals you need.  You may also need to take a supplement that helps to fill in the gaps of your diet.

Smoking can be a major contributor to memory problems.  If you smoke, you should consider ending this habit if you want to protect your memory.  Smoking causes the blood vessels in your body to constrict and keeps you from getting all the oxygen you need.

Sleep is another important factor in preventing memory loss. Make sure you’re getting at least eight hours each night.  If you’re having sleep problems due to stress, insomnia, or pain make sure to discuss options with your doctor.

You don’t have to experience memory loss during your senior years.  Healthy lifestyle choices can make your memory stronger.  While you may be concerned about aging and memory loss, the best thing you can do is make healthy lifestyle choices.

One of the main reasons that people develop cataracts is the aging process, but they can also occur if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, smoke, drink too much alcohol, have a family history of cataracts and numerous other medical problems. The first symptom of cataracts is usually that your vision is hampered by “cloudy” lens. Cataracts develop slowly and usually don’t impair your vision until later on.

Cataracts form on the lens part of the eye which is behind the iris. Lens use light that comes into your eye and send an image to the brain of what you’re seeing. If you have cataracts forming on your lens, they will cause the light to disperse and a clear image won’t be presented to the brain. Your vision then becomes blurred.

The aging process causes changes in the lens, such as inflexibility and thickness, and that clouds may form around the lens. As the cataracts begin to shadow over the lens, your vision becomes even more blurry. There are several types of cataracts including those you are born with, and others such as:

• Posterior sub capsular cataracts – This type of cataract forms in the back of the eye’s lens. You might notice glaring, especially at night -- and reduced ability to read.

• Nuclear cataracts – Nearsightedness is common to those with nuclear cataracts. You may also have double vision and have trouble seeing colors.

• Cortical cataracts – These cataracts affect the outer edge of the lens cortex and as they grow, streaks or opaque film moves more to the center of the lens. Some people experience night time glaring with this type of cataract.

Cataracts can occur in both your eyes or only one and can begin slowing so that you may not really notice big changes in your vision. But, as the cataract grows, you’ll begin to notice vision loss and cloudiness. When this occurs, it’s time to make an appointment with an ophthalmologist.

To prepare for your appointment thoroughly, be sure to jot down the symptoms you’re having and any questions that you may want to ask the doctor. Since some medications directly cause blurred vision, write down a list of all the medications you’re taking and present them to the doctor at your appointment. As with all important medical appointments, it’s good if you can take someone with you to possibly hear statements that you miss.

With an onset of cataracts, you’ll probably notice that you’re having difficulty reading and driving a car. Glasses may help at first, but if the cataracts begin to hinder your lifestyle, it’s time to see an ophthalmologist and think about cataract surgery. If you decide to have cataract surgery, you should know that it’s a fairly safe procedure and is usually very effective in restoring your vision.

Every senior citizen and their close family members should know what the symptoms are for Alzheimer ’s Disease. The disease itself is devastating to the victim and his family and the sooner the disease is diagnosed, the quicker that medications can be prescribed to slow the onslaught and buy more quality time with the person afflicted with the disease.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease include more than merely losing your car keys once in a while or forgetting where you put your glasses. Alzheimer’s victims suffer memory loss because of destroyed brain cells, and every aspect of the person’s life may be affected, including work, socialization and unusual or bizarre behavior.

In the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease, problems with concentration, memory and thinking clearly might signify that a test for the disease is in order. You might also notice that a person in the beginning stages needs a minimal amount of help with simple tasks and routines such as doing dishes or cooking a meal. He may get lost in areas that are familiar to him and confused about the day and time.

Later symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease may include trouble in making judgments, even for trivial decision-making or the victim’s speech may undergo change such as slurring or beginning sentences that are never finished. As the disease progresses and more brain cells die, these conditions will become worse.

Although there is yet no cure for Alzheimer’s Disease and no single test that can pinpoint a diagnosis, there are early tests that can determine if this disease is the likely culprit for the symptoms or if there are other reasons for the memory and skill loss. Your health care provider will probably begin with simple tests that check your memory and other mental abilities. She’ll also want to know your medical history, including any injuries, surgeries or illnesses and how you’re accomplishing certain daily tasks.

Medication history is also part of any medical examination that seeks to detect or reject the possibility of Alzheimer’s. Side effects from overdosing or combining certain medications with others are common causes of memory loss and confusion.

A neurological exam may also be ordered by your health care provider. This will include tests for coordination, movement, walking and sensory functioning and may show problems with the nervous system that are causing thinking and behavior problems.

If you’re seeking assistance for yourself or a loved one and suspect that Alzheimer’s Disease may be the cause of problems you’re experiencing, go to your primary health care provider first. There are currently no doctors who specialize specifically in the disease, but your primary provider should be able to order tests and refer you to specialists.

The buzz words for senior citizens today are “active aging.” Active aging means that we remain active and strong in our later years to prevent the loss of mobility. Loss of mobility in seniors can drastically change their lifestyles and some might never recover. But, a daily health plan that includes healthy diet and exercises designed to keep joints moving and the mind sharp can help us stay mobile far into our senior years. How’s that for an incentive?

As we age, we lose flexibility, muscle and bone – and our strength may falter. These losses may mean that we also lose mobility and independence and become fragile and at risk for falls and fractures – plus other diseases associated with aging. But, don’t be discouraged about those disheartening facts of getting older.

Regular exercise (emphasize regular) such as strength training (weights), flexibility (stretching), aerobics (for cardio health) and balance can greatly reduce your risk for mobility loss. Even if you already have a certain amount of mobility loss or health problems, there are things you can do to improve your well-being and your fitness level.

Older adults can exercise the rear, lower back and thighs by performing chair squats (holding on to the back of a sturdy chair and squatting, then pull yourself back up using the chair as support). Standing leg curls can be performed by curling your leg to the back while standing. Raise one leg at a time to the side to strengthen your legs and thighs or stand on your tip-toes to improve strength and build muscles in your calves, ankles and feet. Do these exercises in several repetitions 3 or 4 days per week.

If you’re new to exercise, begin slowly and build your endurance by exercising on a regular basis. If you’re unsure about how to start or which exercises you can do without causing harm to your body, you may want to consult a fitness trainer and let her provide the appropriate exercise guidelines for your level of fitness.

Cardiovascular exercises, like swimming, rapid walking or jogging, might be beyond your ability at the present time, but rather than spending 30 minutes or an hour at a time at these strenuous exercises, try breaking them up into several 10 minute periods at a time. Even a five minute walk around the house or down the street is better than nothing and can really make a difference.

Just realize that the absolute minimum of aerobic activity to keep you fit and reduce the risk of mobility loss is 30 minutes per day, five days a week. You also need to work strength training into your schedule. The advantage that strength training adds to your overall fitness plan is amazing. You’ll increase muscle mass, become more stable when you stand or walk and simply be more able to perform daily chores.

The goal you should have in mind when you exercise to increase your mobility and strength is to become fit rather than frail. Exercise is a way you can push back the aging process and remain young both in mind and body.
