Brown Bag Check-ups for Seniors Encouraged During National Let’s Talk Medications Month

Being a non-medical in-home healthcare agency, our caregivers offer gentle reminders when it’s time for seniors in their care to take their meds. Nearly all of the seniors we care for take prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies and even CBD’s, nowadays, for any number of maladies and conditions. In fact, it’s not uncommon...

Local Expos Promote Health and Fitness for Senior Women

Seems like much of what we hear in the news today revolves around women. Women have actively raised awareness regarding equality in pay, sexual harassment and abuse (both, personally and professionally); and our constant evolution as powerful leaders in our communities and our government. I am proud to be a strong woman of character. My...

Surveys Say CBD Provides Pain Relief for Seniors with Arthritis

I remember my grandfather wringing his hands with a noticeable grimace on his face due to the nagging pain of arthritis. The discomfort was real and would often prohibit him from performing basic, activities of daily living he enjoyed. With World Arthritis Day approaching, Saturday, October 12, now is the right time to bring awareness...

Understand and Prevent Caregiver Syndrome, Stress and Burnout

Having employed many caregivers over the last decade, I can attest to the reality of caregiver burnout, caregiver stress, and caregiver syndrome. It is real. I’ve felt it, and I’ve witnessed the toll it’s taken on the compassionate souls who so freely give of their time and energy to provide quality in-home care for seniors...

Independence is Incredibly Important Issue for Seniors

I’ve had the opportunity to help lots of seniors over the years, and one of the primary takeaways from each is their longing to age in place, in their own homes, for as long as possible. In several of these cases, the seniors under my care remained at home until their passing. With others, their...

Seniors Who Eat Mediterranean Diet Live Longer, Healthier Lives

I love Tarpon Springs, where Greek life takes on new meaning away from college campuses! The rich culture of Greek sponge divers and their families who set down roots in this beautiful, Florida West Coast community centuries ago, still impacts the lives of its citizens to this day. Besides the sponge diving industry the original...

Strides in Research Promising for Seniors with Parkinson's Disease

I have always been a fan of the movie Back to the Future and specifically Michael J. Fox. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease [PD] as a young adult, it seemed confusing to me that someone so young could have a disease that typically presented in seniors over the age of 60. After a...

Seniors at Greater Risk for Kidney Disease

March is Kidney Awareness Month, and I know several seniors with kidney conditions who have undergone – or are currently undergoing – hemodialysis treatments three times each week for kidney failure. Hemodialysis, commonly referred to as simply “dialysis,” uses amazing technology through a machine that removes a patient’s blood, filters it of waste externally, and returns it...

Crafting Brightens Lives of Seniors Living Alone

On a recent business trip to New Orleans, I was accompanied by my two adult daughters. Interwoven in our busy conference schedule, we girls shared magnificent quality time and lots of fun together in the Big Easy!
