Travel Tips for Caregivers

Traveling with your loved one is absolutely possible! With a little pre-planning and support, make it a goal to get out and make memories. Your trips may look a little different than you originally thought they would but learn to enjoy the small moments and claim the smiles as victories! Here are some tips for traveling safer and being better prepared.

New Volunteer Program!

I received my first calendar when I was about 9 years old. It had a furry, white, blue eyed kitten on the cover and each month showcased other kittens dressed for the season or holiday. It was one of my most favorite gifts and as I have grown older, I understand better what that gift meant and why I loved it so much. It was a clean slate, a fresh start, a whole year in paper form that laid ahead full of possibilities and experiences. I paged through each month imagining what it would bring. When will the first tulips bloom? Where will we go during summer vacation? And what gifts will my Fall Birthday bring?

Home for the Holidays

The changing color on the trees, the cool crispness in the air and holidays with loved ones are all my favorite things. It is also one of the busiest times for families and senior advisors. As we gather together to celebrate and see our families during the holiday season, it is a good opportunity to take a moment to assess any changes in our loved ones that have gone overlooked. We live very busy lives and it can be difficult to pay attention to subtle changes in a senior’s day to day condition or to detect growing needs over the phone. I advise families to take a moment around the kitchen table and check in with their parents on any challenges that they may be facing. It is important to be sensitive and show respect, and in a loving manner, express your desire to help with any problems while visiting.

Enhancing Senior Mental Wellness

As we journey through the various stages of life, our mental health and well-being remain critical components of our overall quality of life. In the realm of healthcare, special attention is given to our senior population, as they navigate the unique challenges that come with aging.
