Senior Living and Positive Influence Over a Senior’s Longevity


Senior Living offers an incredible benefit: stress reduction. Every senior looks forward to the slow down in retirement. The time when they no longer need to constantly be on the go, worried about the stress of work, or meeting other constant demands of life. However, retirement can still be complicated for seniors in need of support.

Many seniors with health issues, mobility concerns, or early signs of memory loss, maintaining everyday tasks can be overwhelming. This stress, pressure, and overwhelm can negatively impact their health, especially if that is already of concern. Communities provide the support necessary for seniors to experience a positive influence in their overall longevity and happiness.

Congestive Heart Failure

According to the American Heart Association, heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is one of the most common causes of hospitalization for adults age 65 years and older .   Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart does not pump blood as efficiently as it should and therefore is not able to meet the body’s blood and oxygen needs.   Since the amount of blood pumped is not adequate to circulate the blood returning to the heart from the body and lung, it causes fluid (mostly water) to leak from capillary blood vessels.   If left untreated, the condition can worsen.      While symptoms of the condition can vary, common signs of congestive heart failure include fatigue and weakness, a reduced ability to exercise, swelling (edema) and shortness of breath.   The disease is commonly caused by coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, disorders of the heart valves, and other problems.   Less common causes include viruses ...

Healthier Options to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

The U.S. News and World Report published an article on tasty treats designed to satisfy your sweet tooth and provide a healthier alternative to more sugar laden desserts. One suggestion from board-certified oncology dietitian, Kailey Proctor, of the Leonard Cancer Institute at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California, is to grill pineapple, banana, apple or pear slices.

Dark chocolate is a known powerful source of antioxidants as research shows it can help improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and raise HDLs, reducing your risk for heart disease. One healthy, easy-to-make dessert is to melt dark chocolate and spread it over parchment paper. Then sprinkle dried cherries, chopped nuts or sunflower seeds over it; refrigerate for five minutes and cut into small pieces. Another variation is to dip fresh strawberries or other fruit int...

Finding Memory Care for a Loved One can be Challenging

Image
Searching for memory care for a loved one that suits the person’s needs as well as the family’s is challenging at best. Knowing the person is dependent on getting the level of care they need for both their wellbeing and safety makes choosing the right home essential. Experts say start by taking your time to think about your loved one’s needs including daily personal care required such as dressing, toileting, bathing, etc. as well as any on-going medical needs.  Additionally, do they have mobility issues and use a wheelchair or a walker; or do they need assistance eating? If the person is known to wander, you will want a secure home to keep him or her safe including alarms on the doors. Another thing experts say is to let the community know if the person is prone to angry outbursts or other aggressive behaviors.  Once you have a good idea of your loved one’s needs, now consider if the homes you are looking at are equipped to handle those needs. Ask about living arrangements , ...
