Five Areas For Senior Care Health & Safety

 

SENIORCAREMALL (ARA) - There are many important areas to consider for senior safety and health. Below is a list  to focus on in regards to overall health and safety.  

 

 
1.  A Safety Plan
 
Being safer in your home can be as simple as making a few easy changes. Email us at Senior Care Mall for a FREE Home Safety Evaluation @ admin@seniorcaremall.com . To further maximize your safety consider a No Monthly Fee Emergency Pendant in case a fall occurs, and you cant get to your phone this device will automatically call emergency contacts. This is a smart and economical solution. This great product is found here. http://www.seniorcaremall.com/emre1.html

 

2. Take care of your hearing health.  

 

About 10 percent of Americans and many more seniors report having hearing difficulties, and that includes about 1.4 million children, according to the Better Hearing Institute (BHI). You may think you're too young to worry about your hearing, but the BHI also reports that the majority of people with hearing loss (65 percent) are younger than 65. Our increasingly noisy world exposes people of all ages to potentially damaging sounds, so it's more important than ever to pay attention to your hearing health.  

 

Have your hearing professionally tested every year. If you're diagnosed with hearing loss, talk to your health care provider to determine if a hearing aid will help you. Hearing aids are now more discreet, versatile and effective than ever thanks to advances from manufacturers like Starkey. The hearing aid maker's Wi Series employs wireless technology, enhances TV and radio listening, and eliminates the need for manual adjustments. In addition, all of its hearing aids including Wi Series and X Series can help reduce background noise while preserving speech understanding.  

 

3. Take care of your emotional health.  

 

Stress seems like a natural part of our busy lives these days, but too much stress can be harmful to your overall well-being. According to WebMD, stress can negatively affect your mental health, your immune system, heart, digestive system, skin, lungs and reproductive organs.  

 

Resolve to take steps to relieve stress. Stress-busting can take on many forms for many people, whether it's spending time with a pet (interacting with animals can lower blood pressure and heart rate), listening to music, meditating or getting rigorous exercise. Don't worry over how you relieve stress, just do what feels right for you and fits into your schedule and lifestyle and you'll reap the benefits.  

 

4. Take care of your bone health.  

 

Healthy bones are important for everyone, not just post-menopausal women and growing children. Most of your body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth. When your body doesn't get enough calcium from outside sources, it starts drawing what it needs from storage, and osteoporosis occurs.  

 

While anyone can experience osteoporosis, certain groups are more at risk than others, including Caucasian women who have gone through menopause, older adults, people who are small in stature, and those with low-calcium diets or who are physically inactive, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ensure your diet includes the recommended amount of calcium per day, and stay active by doing physical activities that help build bone strength, such as walking, running, dancing and weight lifting.  

 

5. Resolve to take care of your feet.  

 

The condition of your feet can clue you in to your overall health, and signs of serious problems like arthritis, diabetes and circulatory issues can all be detected in the feet. More Americans have foot pain than in any other part of their bodies they consider vital to health, such as the skin, teeth or even the heart, according to a survey by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).  

 

To prevent foot problems, dont ignore foot pain, seek a doctor's help.  

 

6. Get more rest.  

 

Think you're OK squeaking by with just five hours of sleep a night? Think again. The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) says sleep is essential to your overall health and well-being, yet 60 percent of American adults say they have problems sleeping a few nights a week or more. On average, adults need about eight hours of sleep; some will be alright with an hour or two less, while others will need more.  

 

To help ensure you get the rest you need, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine for at least four hours before bedtime, don't have a heavy meal or drink alcohol before you sleep, and create a sleep-friendly environment with minimal light and noise.

3 Sandwich Generation Tools

 
 
November  2012ISSUE 290
 

 

Sandwich generation turns to technology to help take care of aging parents

 

SENIORCAREMALL (BPT) - It's human nature to want to take care of those we love. In fact, nearly 66 million Americans are caregivers, who spend about 19 hours a week caring for a loved one, according to AARP. Many of those caregivers are looking after older parents who don't live with them. And while helping aging parents with everything from financial management to health care decisions is difficult enough, the challenges grow if the parent lives alone, either close by or in another state.

Many members of the 'sandwich generation' - adults age 45 to 55 who are taking care of their own children and their aging parents - are turning to technology to make their caregiving role easier.

'This is an age group that's comfortable with technology, and they're used to employing it in their professional lives to solve problems,' says Geoffrey Nudd, CEO of ClearCare Online, a web-based service that facilitates communication between consumers and professional caregivers. 'They're finding that it makes sense to bring in technology-based solutions when they're facing particular challenges in caring for their aging loved ones.'

Here are three tech tools that Americans are finding helpful when taking care of elderly parents:

4 Bathroom Safety For Seniors

 
 
October  2012ISSUE 289
 

 

Fall-prevention strategies for Seniors

 

Seniorcaremall (BPT) - You're only as old as you feel, which is great news for today's baby boomers, as 61 percent report they feel younger than their true age. But despite feeling great, the reality is that adults may need to make minor changes to their homes and lifestyles to ensure they can continue to enjoy safe, healthy and independent lives.

If you are part of this demographic, you're likely thinking, "Not me. Not yet." But did you know that one in three older Americans falls every year, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention? Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for people aged 65 and older. 

Don't worry - protecting yourself from falls does not mean using a walker or wearing an alert siren. Try these simple tips to protect yourself from becoming a fall statistic, while improving your home and lifestyle.

Creating a bathroom that maximizes safety without sacrificing style

 

SENIORCAREMALL (ARA) - For today's generation of aging adults, individuality and independence are values they've lived out for decades. As the years go by, lifestyle changes become a necessity, due to limited mobility and health concerns, but it doesn't necessarily mean giving up personality. 

Aging in place, in the comfort of your home, is a priority for countless people. That often means making adjustments to your home, but some alterations can contribute to making your space feel more institutional and less "you." A balance between style and safety is the key - and finding it is easier than you might think. 

One of the most hazardous rooms in the home is the bathroom. Its slippery surfaces and tendency to be crowded with products and objects makes it a hazard for slipping, tripping and other mishaps. As you consider making alterations to your home that enhance security and safety, it's the logical place to start.  Here are 4 helpful ideas to maximize safety.

  Tips for seniors on managing health care costs

 

SENIORCAREMALL (ARA) - Finding the Medicare coverage that best fits their needs and their pocketbooks is challenging for many seniors. Health care plans make changes to their coverage. People's health conditions change. Not keeping on top of these changes can mean problems. Suddenly seniors may find they don't have needed coverage, their doctor no longer takes their plan, or they face steep medical or prescription drug costs.

 

That's why it's essential to review Medicare coverage and individual needs each year, and to use the Medicare annual open enrollment period to make changes to coverage. Medicare annual open enrollment runs from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7, with new benefit choices effective the following Jan. 1.

"Getting started early is key," says Mary Dale Walters, senior vice president of the Allsup Medicare Advisor, a Medicare plan selection service. "Choosing Medicare coverage is complicated, even when you have lots of information on the Web. It can be difficult to get current plan information and to get an apples-to-apples comparison of plans."

 

Walters offers these 3 tips for seniors to manage and lower their health care costs.  Visit the Seniorcaremall Blog for the remainder of this informative article.
