On the surface, it might seem like a good idea to move your aging parents into your home once they're no longer able to live independently. Doing so may eliminate the need for you to split your time between spending time with your own family and making trips to your parent's home to take care of them, but intergenerational housing isn't always a smooth transition.
The need for a home medical alert device is not limited to the elderly. When you see the iconic commercials you may think these devices are only for seniors, but in fact a home medical monitoring device is ideal for not only the aged, but for those with health issues, those who work or live alone or even for babysitters.
Once the snow has melted and the sun warms the air and the earth around you, your thoughts turn to summer. Before summer hits, many people get the urge to spring clean. Giving your home a thorough spring-cleaning leaves it, and you, feeling refreshed, revitalized and ready for summer. A spring cleaning can involve taking down the heavier winter curtains, cleaning the windows then hanging up the lighter, breezier summer window hangings. It also means you take off the winter quilts and replace them with summer weight blankets.
When it comes to scams perpetrated against senior citizens, there seems to be a correlation between the time of year and the scam that is going around. This time of year seniors need to be aware of IRS refund and tax scams. If you're a caregiver for an aging relative, you too should be on the lookout for some of the items on this list that may be happening to your aging loved ones when you are not around.
Dental care today has made tremendous leaps and bounds since the 1940s. With all the medical advances since then, there are still many people born prior to World War II who may be lacking in oral hygiene care. Regular trips to the dentist were not commonplace in those days, nor was fluoride or floss. As a result, many older individuals today experience a high level of tooth loss, cavities and gum disease. Today, nearly one out of every four people over the age of 65 has lost all of their teeth. A shocking number given all that we know on dental hygiene today.
