You may hope it will never happen, but one day you may find that your parents or older relatives need your help to manage their home. How will you carry out the sacred trust of getting the best price or helping them keep the property, and age in place? Good communication is the key to success. David Solie, author of “How to Say It to Seniors,” counsels you to let the older person talk. Listen to their stories of life in the home. Then explain the financial aspects. If you have any doubts about their level of understanding, have them repeat what you said in their own words.

In twenty years of helping people settle their estates, one glaring fact always stands out: we have way too much stuff! Just start poking around your closets, under the beds, up in the attics or your garage, and you'll agree. Our overstuffed and cluttered homes, and garages that can't hold our cars, have created a new industry: professional organizers; thank goodness for them. Let's not forget the good reason why all of these storage companies keep going up across your city. People can't seem to let go of their "stuff." Don't organize your junk -- get rid of it!

Some teenagers and younger adults have difficulty getting out of bed because they are tired, lazy or were out late the night before. Seniors have difficulty getting out of bed for different reasons. It's not that they do not want to get out of bed but because they have physical difficulty doing it. Whenever possible, the goal should be to enable independence. Fortunately, there are a variety of solutions: 1) Bed Assist Rail: This is a simple device that provides the user w

Thinking that they’re off the hook if a sibling is doing the primary care Although it's rare for siblings to care for a parent equally, ideally, it should be a family responsibility. Not treating it as such will haunt you later on, even if you live far away from your ailing parent. Sometimes if the parent is residing at a nursing home or an assisted living facilities Houston, this can alleviate that concern. Not appreciating and supporting the main caregiver Many caregiver

Gums Disease is often a warning of something serious problem, a warning that your body is disagreeable to better itself.

Many seniors fall victim to neglecting personal hygiene, not out of forgetfulness, but because navigating themselves through a slippery bathtub or shower is not only exhausting, but also downright scary. Although they may resist it in the beginning, seniors who wish to stay at home and prolong their independence can adapt their bathrooms with features that will not only prevent accidents, but also boost self-confidence. Unless they can afford the costs involved with hiring a

Three years ago my mother-in-law moved in with us. Today we have a wonderful arrangement, but getting there was a little bumpy. We never had big problems. We did have some little ones. The fact is, my mother-in-law is a sweet, easygoing person who is a pleasure to be around. The real problem was me. I was unprepared for this change in our life and lifestyle. I became resentful and turned into a complaining, crabby monster. The old line goes, "I wish I knew then what I know now".

Spirit at Work in Long-term Care Abstract The authors discuss the moral distress that surfaces around responding to last-minute sick calls in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Presented within the context of Spirit at Work (SAW), the scenarios and solutions are applicable to both front line staff and management. At 12:30 pm, on the Sunday of a summer, long weekend, a nurse scheduled for the 3:00 pm shift calls in “sick.” Knowing that no replacement is available, I still mus

The trend in assisted living facilities being the primary way we take care of our aging loved ones is continuing to increase. With this increasing trend are some other not so nice aspects to this burgeoning elder care business. Care worker to resident ratios based on state licensing requirements are often ignored. The staff that takes care of your loved one in the day and night are usually paid near minimum wage. Managers get bonuses based on cutting the budget which often encourages working the facility understaffed.

Elderly self-care is a concept that has been gaining in popularity in recent years. In short, it’s exactly what it sounds like: It’s a set of tools and strategies designed to encourage elderly people to care for themselves and to be in charge of their own health. Adherents of this movement view self-care as an alternative to care facilities and nursing homes that take care of all their patients’ needs. One motivation for the self-care movement is for individuals to begi

A recent report by the Women’s Royal Voluntary Service charity (“WRVS”) has highlighted the extent to which elderly people are suffering from falls and the psychological impact this has on them. According to the findings, more than 35% of people over 65 have fallen in the last two years and 32% of those living alone have suffered a fall in the last year (compared to 22% of people who do not live alone). This has also been seen across hospitals with the number of readmissions of people over 75 having risen from 306,000 to 360,000 per year in the period 2006-2011.

Paul Svejda is a successful businessman with his hands in several lucrative projects. To the outside world he may seem to be a man living on the sunny side of the street, working to keep his rising star going in an upward arc. While all that is true, it does not take into account the heartbreak he lives with daily as he watches his mother fight a losing battle with cancer. Cancer, where ever it strikes and in what ever form it takes, is a disease that affects families, not ju

Last year, I received a call from Sharon, the adult daughter of a potential client, Bette. Her father, Burt, had passed away a little over a year ago from an extended battle with cancer and Bette had been his primary caregiver. Until his passing, Bette was mobile, energetic and rarely sick. Once Burt passed away, Bette became a ‘different person’ rarely leaving the house. Her sunny, upbeat disposition had turned into an apathetic approach to everything and everyone in her life.

Everyone has heard the term "Buyer Beware." In my business of helping people downsize their homes and possessions, it should be "Seller Beware." From family to professionals, there are individuals of all shapes and sizes who prosper from taking advantage of older adults faced with the need to downsize. I could write a book as lengthy as Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace about the personalities that I have encountered in my career who have contributed to this sham.

How To Tell If Your Aging Parent or Elder Needs Help We all may know someone who has been thrust into the role of caregiver for their aging parents or an elderly loved one. And as those who have had to assume this role can surely agree this shift is a major transition. But, how can we prepare ourselves for this responsibility? How can become a little more proactive? We can do this by knowing how to identify some of the tell-tale signs that may signal that our elder parents or

I find it hard to believe there is actually a word in the English language that could possibly describe what caregivers go through. There can't be! The experiences during the process of caregiving are often a deep, emotional shift accompanied by confusion, frustration, and even resentment for many. Somewhere along the line, one loses oneself, and their individuality blurs with the needs of the loved one.

There are a number of aspects of growing older that can be great about growing older. The adage that wisdom comes with age is most assuredly true, however there can be some things that become more difficult as a person ages. One of the most common diseases associated with growing older is dementia, which is sometimes referred to as senility. Unfortunately, using the term senility or senile does not really paint an accurate picture of dementia, because dementia is not a normal

Assisted living facility can be a boon for lonely elderly people. Here, they can get help with their daily activities and be among people who share common thoughts and interests. But the facility does not come cheap by any standards. It can cost a whopping $2000 to $5000 per month. Sure, it is not everybody’s cup of tea to be able to afford that. This is where government assisted living comes into picture. Financial Aids Provided By Government The Government has some plans

Step #1 – The claimant should get workplace injuries treated as soon as possible. If the employer has set a pro

As we age we often take things for granted. We’ve lived in our homes for many years and have become accustomed to the way things are but are we alert to changes that may impact our safety in our homes? Many of the people I work with have difficulty with balance. Whether caused by an ear infection or a more chronic condition a real result of balance issues is fall risks. Knowing that you have trouble with falls is the first step to protecting yourself from serious injury. Let’s take a walk around the house and see how safe is home really! Let’s walk through a typical day.

Fighting, unpleasantries, resentment, jealousy, greed, entitlement, "he said - she said." What causes these, or at the very least, inflames them? A lack of planning. It's alive and well for those who refuse to plan for their demise, or simply may not know how to plan. Since the beginning of time, there has been a battle between the good and the bad, and it will continue as long as humans are alive, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Exploitation can raise its ugly head in the midst of unsuspecting situations. Such was the case with the Garvey family (not real name). Mom and Dad Garvey were about the nicest people you'd ever wish to meet. Their three adult children lived nearby; they loved to have all the grandchildren over for Sunday dinners. All of the children were successful, and the family often took vacations together. As Mom Garvey shared with me, she could not recall one moment of discord between her kids. Dad Garvey was diagnosed with cancer at age 73, and the disease progressed rapidly.

After my Mom’s partial hip replacement in late July 2009, I recognized the resistance I was relying on while engaging with her. Mom’s default position when she experiences tough times in various forms is to want to die. “You know what I want. I want to be dead,” is her mantra. In response, I have used words to encourage her to want to live. I offer her something to look forward to, such as returning to her day enrichment program. I tell her that God will call her when

Recently I helped a family find a private care home for their mother who was in her mid 80’s, living in a large assisted living facility and suffering from dementia, depression and loneliness. Her depression and loneliness had come on suddenly and she was talking about not wanting to live any longer. Her doctor had told the family that her dementia was progressing and made the suggestion that she move to a smaller care home where she would have more one-on-one attention. Du

Nineteen years ago, I had this crazy idea sitting at my corporate desk that if I was going to work this hard for them, I might as well work that hard for myself. I kept thinking to myself, "Julie, how can you even think of this - you must be off your rocker to consider leaving the reliability of a paycheck and benefits." But it was like a lightning bolt from the sky - an intense thought that grabbed hold of this young woman at the exuberant age of 28, and it never let go. They say this is the first inclination you are an entrepreneur.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published a new set of guidelines to promote a better standard of care and support for older people living in their own homes. The report offers a number of key recommendations for home care providers to follow when supporting elderly people at home.

Scenario: Your parent is in the skilled nursing facility and the social worker/case manager is talking to you about sending them home. It is recommended that they not be without personal care assistance/home care. All of a sudden, there are many decisions to make: • Do you bring your parent to your home? • Do you care for him/her every day in her own home? • Do you contact a home care agency or hire a caregiver privately?

Stress plays a dominant role in human disease. The effects of mental stress are insidious and affect structure and function of the entire brain and body. As we age, we have a harder time coping with stress. In fact, aging may be defined as the progressive decrease in the ability to adapt to mental and physical stress. One part of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong practice is to release unnecessary tension in muscles. Muscles are an excellent mental stress barometer since hyper-arousal consistently leads to amplified muscle tension.

For those who are caring for aging parents, being away for extended periods of time can be very taxing and filled with anxiety. But if you follow through with the 5-point plan mentioned here, much of the anxiety can removed. Your parents too will be more relaxed knowing that they are being taken care of and that there are professional people checking into their every need. Finally, while it is true that technology is a great tool, don’t forget the most important one of them

The time has come. You are in need of home care services. Chances are good that this need has been preceded by some sort of crisis; a hospitalization, death of a spouse or a sudden decline in health. Likely, there are so many things to think about and arrange. There may be a variety of service groups coming in and out of your home to assist you in this transition; home health care, home care, hospice, durable medical equipment, housekeeping services and an increase in friend and family visits.

It had been a week since Dad's funeral, and life was getting back to normal for Sharon. Despite the sadness of the occasion, it had been nice to be with her brother and sister and their families. She hadn't been to her dad's house since he went into the hospital. She dreaded walking into the empty house, knowing it contained a flood of memories. As she got in her car to drive across town to the house she grew up in, the lump in her throat grew. She thought about all the happy times around the dinner table, and many other memories.

As of the most recent count, members of Facebook worldwide have exceeded the 500 million mark and are well on their way to hit 600 million. And if current First World statistics are to be relied on, it is safe to assume that a great chunk of those people belong to the demographic group whose age is 65 years old or older. In fact, analysts boldly claim that seniors comprise as high as 8 percent of all people who avidly use social networking sites, and for good reasons: seniors

After decades of being together couples come to complement and care for each other in many different ways. It is therefore no surprise that for many elderly couples the thought of being apart for even a few days is a traumatic one. The support of a professionally trained home carer is a cost effective way of helping couples remain together in their own home for as long as possible.

The decision between taking a loved one to a nursing home and using house care needs to be considered carefully. Each of the options has their advantages and disadvantages.

Ophthalmic disorders that can occur during later in life are presbyopia, age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

Will you need to take time away from work or cut corners caring for your own family to assist your aging parents, grandparents or close friend, if they become ill?

If your parent has a hospital stay for a broken hip after a fall or has a knee replacement surgery, most likely they will need supervision at home.

The home is the nicest place there is. For a vast majority of seniors, the home serves as the foundation of their identity, autonomy and independence. Staying in the warmth and comfort of home, and close to family members can have significant benefits.

It is well-established and ba

According to statistics, depression is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders affecting adults aged 60 and over. But while clinical depression is common among the elderly, it isn’t normal.

When I had just gotten married my wife still worked for an elder care assisted living facility. It was a type A facility in Texas and so the residents were expected to be able to get out of their bed unassisted during emergencies. My wife really liked her job and the rewarding nature that comes with taking care of the elderly. She understood that many of the elderly at these facilities had no visitors and had lost the ability to think clearly.

The health and well-being of our loved ones is always a top priority. As they age, we start to wonder if we can take care of them ourselves or if they already need to stay in a senior care facility.
