From helping them each day to eat meals that are nutritious to assisting them with getting dressed or brushing their hair, you connect each day in many ways. You also probably help provide the companionship they crave, as well as attend some of their favorite activities like senior classes at the gym or morning coffee on Saturdays with their friends. You do it all but it’s also important that you routinely take care of yourself during this time of being the caregiver for your elderly loved one. Caregivers who take time out for themselves routinely are better caregivers, who have more patience, grace, and enjoyment as they care for their loved ones. ### Respite Care Defined Taking time for yourself is also called respite. Defined respite means “a short period of rest or relief from something difficult.” [**Respite care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/) for caregivers is a service provided by trained professionals to provide a bit of relief for caregivers so that they can step away from their caregiving responsibilities for a short period in order to take care of other needs. These breaks are generally just a few hours long at a time, but they can be extended to several days if needed. No matter how much you love caring for your elderly loved one, these breaks should be an important part of your routine so that the care you provide is the best it can be for both your loved one and you. ### Five Ways to Take a Break The key to taking a bit of a break is having a plan for how you will spend that time on break. If you don’t have a plan, then you may wrap it up and not feel any benefits that should come from having someone provide [**respite care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/) while you get away. How you spend your time while your loved one is getting respite care is completely up to you and there is no wrong way to enjoy your break from caregiving. But if you’re looking for ideas or suggestions, here are five common activities many caregivers enjoy while taking a bit of respite from caregiving. - **Completing a project.** It can be finishing something you love, like adding the final touches to the quilt you’ve been working on for years, or it can be completing a chore that’s been hanging over your head and you just need to be done with it so you don’t need to worry about it anymore. - **Catching up with friends.** If you’ve missed your weekly lunches with the gals, take some time to reconnect with them. - **Exercising.** When caring for an elderly loved one, it can be difficult to get a daily run-in or go to the pool for some laps. Use respite care to care for your physical health and your body will thank you. - **Pampering.** Respite care is a great time to pamper yourself. It could be a massage, a manicure, or a meal at a night restaurant. - **Running Errands.** While not the most fun, some errands are much easier to do without your loved one so prioritize those so they are off your already full plate. Remember, do what’s best for you and you’ll return to caregiving feeling recharged and refreshed. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Respite Care at Home** ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/)in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Being able to drive when you want and where you want is an important part of independence, especially for those who live in communities where walking or public transportation aren’t viable options. Driving a vehicle offers the ability to get to places that are farther away and access parts of their community that wouldn’t be possible without some form of transportation. And while driving is a wonderful benefit that most people have, it isn’t something that should be taken lightly. When your senior gets behind the wheel, she is not only in charge of her own safety, but in the safety of all of those out on the roads with her. From children crossing at a corner to a busload of commuters to a giant semi truck hauling its goods to a local store, your loved one needs to navigate them all safely. ### Six Signs that Driving is Becoming More Difficult for Your Elderly Loved One While she may not come out and directly say it, driving may be reaching a point where your loved one is not always comfortable while navigating the roads, but she just hasn’t said that yet. Here are some more signs that you can watch and listen for when talking to your loved one to see if you need to talk to her about restricting her driving. 1. She complains that other drivers are more rude nowadays and are always honking at her. While some other drivers may be excessively aggressive, if she’s getting honked at a lot, she may be doing something wrong on the road. 2. She seems nervous or stressed when she knows she needs to drive. Look for displays of anxiety when she knows she needs to drive. Maybe it’s specific weather she’s frightened to drive in, or when it gets dark. 3. She’s easily distracted when driving. If you’re riding along with her, is her attention pulled to other areas besides the road in front of her? 4. Does she squint or strain to read the signs around her? Does she misidentify objects on the road or walkways as she drives, reacting inappropriately? 5. Does her car have some new scrapes or dents that weren’t there? Look for damage on the bumpers and sides, indicating her depth perception may be off. 6. She’s getting lost on routine routes. ### How to Help Your Loved One When Driving Is Difficult Your loved one may need to give up driving altogether, or she just may need to reduce when she drives. For many seniors, it starts with avoiding driving at night or in inclement weather. She might also want to avoid driving during rush hour when the roads are more chaotic. Arranging for [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) assistance to help with driving can be one way to keep your loved one from behind the wheel when she’s not comfortable driving. A home care assistance provider can bring her to and from appointments when the weather is a bit rough or the sun is setting. A home care assistance provider can also help with trips to new places where your loved one isn’t comfortable driving. Having a home care assistance provider help with driving can eliminate the need to completely restrict driving while providing safe transportation when needed. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Cherokee County, KS**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

A journal is a safe place to explore the feelings you have without guilt. **Content:** If you’re struggling with your own mental or physical health while taking care of a senior parent with Alzheimer’s please know you’re not alone. Taking care of a mom or dad with Alzheimer’s can be very challenging for their child. It’s devastating to watch your mom or dad go through the changes that Alzheimer’s brings. And it can take a physical and mental toll to care for them throughout their Alzheimer’s journey. But you must take care of yourself. If you don’t make sure that you’re taking care of your own needs, you may end up suffering from caregiver burnout. [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) at home is something that can give you the break you need to take care of yourself. With Alzheimer’s care at home, a caring, compassionate, and experienced care provider will take care of your mom or dad at home so you can take some time for yourself. Alzheimer’s care is available on a regular basis or an emergency basis. So if your mom or dad is coming home from the hospital and needs around-the-clock care, or if you need a day to yourself each week to take care of your own needs, find out more about Alzheimer’s care at home now. You can also use these self-care tips to help manage your stress, process your feelings, and make sure that you don’t end up getting burned out: ### **Take Breaks to Recharge** It’s easy to feel like you have to be on call for your mom or dad at all times, but you don’t. Everyone needs a break to recharge. Schedule regular periods of rest to step away from caregiving responsibilities. Even short breaks to read a book, take a walk, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee can make a big difference. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s necessary to avoid burnout and maintain your energy. ### **Stay Connected with Others** Caregiving can be isolating, especially if you spend most of your time at home with your parent. Make an effort to stay connected with friends, family, or support groups. Sharing your experiences and emotions with others who understand what you’re going through can provide comfort and perspective. Social connections also give you a chance to enjoy moments of normalcy and laughter. ### **Don’t Expect To Be Perfect** Recognize that you cannot do everything perfectly, and that’s okay. Alzheimer’s caregiving often involves unpredictable challenges, so setting realistic goals and expectations can help reduce frustration. Focus on what’s most important, and don’t hesitate to ask for help with tasks that feel overwhelming. Accepting that some days will be harder than others can help you approach caregiving with patience and resilience. ### **Prioritize Your Health** Your health is just as important as your parents. Make time for regular medical checkups, eat nutritious meals, and aim for sufficient sleep each night. Exercise is another key part of self-care; even 20-30 minutes of physical activity, like yoga or a brisk walk, can help reduce stress and boost your mood. Taking care of your own health ensures you’re strong enough to care for your parent. ### **Learn to Manage Stress** Caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s can be emotionally taxing, so finding ways to manage stress is essential. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or journaling to help you process your emotions. Listening to music, gardening, or pursuing a hobby you enjoy can also provide a much-needed mental break. Stress management helps you stay calm and better equipped to handle challenges. Journaling can also help you process your feelings as you watch your mom or dad change because of Alzheimer’s. A journal is a safe place to explore the feelings you have without guilt. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Newton County, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Hospital to home transition care can help. **Content:** Pneumonia infections that are serious enough to send seniors to the hospital are nothing to ignore. When it’s time to come home from the hospital, seniors need a plan of action so that they are less likely to end up heading right back to the hospital for the same problem. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care helps seniors and family members understand discharge instructions, tackle everyday tasks, and get the help they need to recover safely at home. ### Get Help Translating Discharge Instructions Discharge instructions can feel more complicated than they really are, especially when seniors and family caregivers are exhausted and stressed. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care experts break instructions down in a simple manner so that they’re easy to understand and therefore easier to follow. This helps family caregivers to feel less worried that they’re missing something important or might make a mistake. ### Consider Additional Assistance It may also be helpful for seniors recovering from pneumonia to have other types of help available once they get home. Home care assistance, skilled nursing care, and possibly even physical therapy can all make a huge difference when seniors are recovering from pneumonia. As they gain strength and are better able to get back to their pre-hospitalization routines, that help may not be as necessary. ### Pay Close Attention to Symptoms People who spend time with seniors who are recovering from pneumonia need to be able to recognize signs that the illness might be getting worse rather than better. Signs like fever and chills, increased difficulty breathing, and chest pain are signs of trouble. Some seniors might also appear confused, experience fatigue, and not want to eat. Paying close attention to these signs and responding quickly can help seniors get the medical attention they need to avoid returning to the hospital. ### Stick Closely to the Medication Schedule Chances are good that seniors who have been hospitalized for pneumonia are still on some medications when they return home. The best way to keep pneumonia from coming back and causing additional health problems is for them to keep taking their medications exactly as prescribed. Medication reminders from home care providers, along with assistance taking medications with a full glass of water and with food or without, as recommended, can make all of this easier. ### Attend Follow-up Medical Appointments The best way for seniors to know that they’re recovered from pneumonia that was intense enough to send them into the hospital is to keep their follow-up appointments with medical providers. These follow-up appointments help doctors to make sure seniors are healing well and aren’t facing complications. Hospital to home transition care experts can assist with reminders about appointments, transportation assistance, and coordinating care if necessary. Getting sick stinks, especially when the illness is pneumonia so severe that it lands seniors in the hospital. Hospital to home transition care does a lot to assist seniors as they return home, making sure that they can do so smoothly and that they have the help they need to keep healing. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Hospital to Home Transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) in [**Neosho, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Many areas of the country are delightfully watching gorgeous blooms appear right before their eyes this month. Spring is a wonderful time to celebrate getting through another cold and dark winter. While it often starts slowly with many drizzly days, by the time May comes around, most parts of the country are being bathed in sunshine and warmer temps. It’s the perfect time of year for any flower-loving senior to take some extra time to stop and smell the roses. ### The Mental Health Benefits of Flowers Did you know that flowers can positively affect your elderly loved one’s mental health and cognitive abilities? Flowers are an integral part of many people’s lives, so seeing them, smelling them, and receiving them as gifts are all avenues for your loved one to receive the health benefits of flowers. - **Flowers reduce feelings of sadness and anxiety.** Taking time to be mindful while among a bed of flowers or even admiring an intricate rose in a vase, can let the mind relax and calm those anxiety-driven thoughts and worries. A gift of flowers can remind your elderly loved one that someone cares for her and help her feel less alone. - **Flowers stimulate memories.** Because flowers are both a visual and olfactory stimulus, they have twice the power to awaken memories. The smell of spring flowers can bring back childhood memories. - **Flowers form connections.** Being socially active is an important part of your loved one’s overall cognitive health. Strolling through a garden with like-minded garden lovers is a great way to meet new people, spark interesting conversations, and form a community. ### Five Ways for Your Senior to Enjoy Some Flowers - **Go to a local garden.** The easiest and sometimes most beautiful way to enjoy flowers each spring is to head to a local garden and see what’s blooming. - **Go for a walk in the woods.** Cultivated gardens are beautiful, but the excitement of finding wildflowers growing on their own in the woods can be a fun way to find hidden blooms. - **Visit a garden center.** This is the time of year when garden centers are packed with all of the flowers that can be brought home for showing off. - **Walk through the neighborhood.** It’s fun to see what each home has blooming in its shrubs, trees, and flowerbeds. Start a garden.

It’s true. Even if your mom or dad isn’t diabetic they need to check their feet often and take care of them. Swollen feet or ankles can indicate heart disease or heart problems. And seniors with diabetes can suffer serious health problems if they get even a small cut or scrape on their feet that gets infected. If your mom or dad is having a hard time doing things like showering or applying lotion to their hands and feet they should have [**personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/). When your mom or dad has personal care at home they will get dedicated support from caregivers who have training in safe methods of helping seniors with personal hygiene tasks. A care provider can help your mom or dad take care of their feet and watch for changes in their foot health by doing things like: ### Helping Them with Foot Hygiene Keeping feet clean is one of the most important steps in foot care. A care provider can help your parent wash their feet daily with warm water and mild soap. They can also make sure the feet are dried completely, especially between the toes, to prevent infections like athlete’s foot. If needed, the caregiver can apply moisturizer to keep the skin from becoming dry or cracked. Clean and healthy feet can prevent discomfort and reduce the risk of infections. ### Trim Toenails Safely Many seniors struggle to trim their toenails because they may have trouble bending down or holding nail clippers. Long or thick toenails can cause pain, lead to ingrown toenails, or make walking uncomfortable. A care provider can help by trimming the nails carefully or arranging for a podiatrist to do it if necessary. Keeping toenails short and smooth can prevent injuries and infections. ### Check for Foot Problems A [**personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) provider can regularly check your parent’s feet for cuts, blisters, swelling, redness, or signs of infection. Many seniors, especially those with diabetes, may not feel foot injuries right away due to poor circulation or nerve damage. Catching foot problems early can prevent them from turning into serious issues. If the caregiver notices any unusual changes, they can alert a doctor or family member. ### Help with Proper Footwear Wearing the right shoes is very important for senior foot health. Shoes that are too tight, too loose, or have little support can lead to foot pain, bunions, or blisters. A care provider can help your parent choose comfortable shoes with good support, cushioning, and a proper fit. They can also help put on and take off shoes, as well as make sure socks are clean, dry, and not too tight. Good footwear helps prevent falls and keeps feet comfortable. ### Encourage Movement and Circulation Good circulation is key to keeping feet healthy, but some seniors sit for long periods, which can cause swelling and discomfort. A care provider can encourage your mom or dad to perform gentle foot exercises, like wiggling toes, rotating ankles, or stretching the feet. They can also remind your parent to elevate their feet when sitting to reduce swelling. Light activities like short walks can also improve circulation and prevent stiffness. Keeping feet moving helps reduce pain and keeps them in better condition. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Personal Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) in [**Carthage, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Seniors who live independently have a high risk of malnutrition. Some studies show that more than 50% of seniors living alone are malnourished. There are many reasons why your mom or dad may have a poor appetite. As people get older, they eat less, so it’s possible your mom or dad just isn’t hungry as often as they used to be. But medications, medical conditions, and even conditions like grief or depression can cause seniors to not eat as much as they should. It also may be the case that your mom or dad doesn’t want to eat meals because they are lonely, and eating alone is a reminder that they are alone. If you can’t be there daily to share meals with your mom or dad you should get them [**in-home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/). In-home care for seniors provides a range of support for seniors who are living alone. A care provider can cook and share meals with your senior parent. An [**in-home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) provider can also do the shopping and errands for your mom or dad, remind them to take their medication on time, and do light housework. An in-home care provider can suggest meal alternatives like these so that your mom or dad will get the calories they need without having to eat three large meals every day: ### Smoothies Smoothies are a great way to provide a full serving of nutrients for your mom or dad in a form that’s easy for them to eat and easy to digest. You can blend fruits like bananas, berries, or mangoes with yogurt or milk for calcium and protein. You can also add spinach, protein powder, or nut butter for extra nutrients. Smoothies are especially useful if your parent has difficulty chewing or swallowing. ### Finger Foods For seniors who find large meals overwhelming, small, easy-to-eat finger foods can be a more appealing option. Examples include slices of soft cheese, boiled eggs, cut-up fruit, or crackers with peanut butter. Veggie sticks with hummus or guacamole are another nutritious choice. These small portions can feel less intimidating than a full plate of food. An in-home care provider that is with your mom or dad all day can offer small plates or trays of finger foods to them throughout the day to encourage them to eat. ### Soups and Broths Soups and broths are comforting, nutritious, and easy to eat. They can also be packed with vitamins and minerals, depending on the ingredients you use. Creamy soups like tomato, butternut squash, or potato are great for seniors with chewing issues, while hearty broths with soft-cooked vegetables and shredded chicken provide protein and fiber. Soup also will help prevent dehydration. ### Small, Frequent Snacks If your parent doesn’t have an appetite for regular meals, offering small snacks throughout the day can be a helpful alternative. This grazing approach prevents overwhelming them with large portions while still providing essential nutrients. Snacks like yogurt with fruit, oatmeal, pudding, or even a slice of avocado toast can be appealing and satisfying. You can also experiment with nutrient-dense options like trail mix or granola bars, which provide energy in small bites. ### Meal Replacement Drinks or Protein Shakes Meal replacement drinks or protein shakes can be lifesavers when your parent refuses traditional meals. These drinks are designed to provide a balanced mix of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Brands like Ensure or Boost are specifically formulated for seniors, offering options tailored to their nutritional needs. Keep a few flavors on hand to give them variety. These drinks are easy to consume and can serve as a complete meal when necessary. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**In-Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Many seniors take multiple medications on a daily basis, typically at different times and in certain situations. Missed doses, inappropriate usage, or adverse interactions can all cause major health problems if not monitored properly. [**Elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) assists seniors in keeping control over their prescriptions while also documenting side effects to ensure overall well-being. ### Challenges in Medication Management for Seniors Aging brings about a number of health issues that often require medications. However, this can be challenging for seniors for a variety of reasons, including the following: - **Memory Decline:** Memory issues might cause seniors to forget to take their medication or to take too much. - **Complex Schedules:** Keeping track of prescriptions with varying directions can be tough. - **Physical Limitations:** Arthritis and tremors might make it difficult to open medication bottles. - **Side Effects and Interactions:** Some medications may cause reactions that require monitoring. Having elder care in the home provides built-in support that helps ensure seniors follow their prescription routines safely and successfully. ### How Elder Care Improves Medication Adherence [**Elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) provides reminders, encouragement, and more to help seniors remain in control of their medication routine. Some of the ways it can help include the following: - **Create a Medication Schedule:** Caregivers help to create a clear, easy-to-follow timetable using things like pill organizers and alarms to remind seniors to take their medications. Seniors are less likely to miss doses or take their prescriptions incorrectly when they follow a scheduled routine. - **Ensure Proper Dosing and Administration:** Caregivers assist seniors in taking the appropriate dose by reading prescription labels and offering clear instructions. - **Checking Special Instructions and Expiration Dates:** Elder care can remind seniors to check special instructions, such as taking the medication on an empty stomach, as well as checking expiration dates to ensure things like over-the-counter medication are safe to take. ### Monitor for Side Effects and Interactions Many of the medications that seniors take have side effects that range from minor pain to something more. Elder care can encourage seniors to document the effects of certain medicines by keeping a log of relevant symptoms. Additionally, they can remind seniors to talk with their healthcare team about these issues or any other concerns they may have. ### Helping Seniors to Stay Informed Elder care can also help seniors stay informed by encouraging them to read up on new medications they’re given, establishing a relationship with their pharmacist, and ensuring they understand what medications are for and what side effects they may cause. Understanding these things can boost seniors’ confidence and allow them to have educated conversations with their healthcare team. Elder care is quite beneficial in assisting seniors to maintain control over their medication routine and document and manage side effects. They also help seniors get the most out of their medications by using structured scheduling, dosage control, side effect tracking, and healthcare coordination to guarantee safety and effectiveness. These things are all key to helping seniors continue to live independently. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Elder Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Duquesne, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Family caregivers in particular need to be very thoughtful in terms of how they approach self-care. Enlisting the help of [**respite care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/) providers is a great place to start. ### Build a Solid Support Network A strong support network gives family caregivers a better chance to actually take time out for self-care. Every support network looks a little different, so it might include friends, family members, home care providers, medical providers, and even support group members. Depending on other needs and available resources, there might be other people in the support network, too. ### Take Breaks Regularly For self-care to be truly effective, family caregivers need to take regular breaks. That doesn’t mean that family caregivers have to take an hour off every week at the exact same time unless that works for them. What it does mean is that thinking about when a break is necessary and proactively planning for regular time away needs to be part of caregiving goals. ### Do the Tough Stuff There’s more to self-care than taking a nap or a bubble bath, and that’s where a lot of people misunderstand what self-care is. Taking care of themselves means that family caregivers sometimes have to do the difficult stuff, like making doctor’s appointments for themselves and getting that time in at the gym. These are things that family caregivers need to do in order to continue being strong enough to take care of the seniors they love. ### Make Time for Hobbies But it isn’t all the tough stuff, either. Hobbies and activities that family caregivers enjoy often get shoved to the side because there isn’t enough time, energy, or both. With the help of [**respite care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/), family caregivers can have more time and energy to focus on the activities they enjoy and that refill their cup. This is a form of rest that helps family caregivers turn around and give back. ### Get Mental Health Support Another form of self-care that sometimes doesn’t make the list is mental health support. That might mean appointments with a therapist or it could mean attending support group meetings for other family caregivers. Whatever mental health support looks like for each family caregiver isn’t as important as it is that they make time for keeping themselves mentally and emotionally healthy. ### Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule Without proper sleep, everything else is much more difficult. That’s why family caregivers have to include solid sleep in their plan for self-care. If they’re not currently getting good sleep, it may take a while to figure out where the problem lies, and working to get it corrected. For some family caregivers that might mean using respite time to do things like nap or talk with healthcare providers if simple solutions haven’t worked. Self-care isn’t going to cure everything for family caregivers, but it goes a long way toward helping them stay regulated and ensure that seniors have the help they need. Respite care makes all of that easier, while also helping seniors stay safe and supported. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Respite Care** ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/respite-care/)in [**Joplin, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

If you’re not able to see your mom or dad every day, they could be having trouble keeping up with household tasks and you wouldn’t know it. Many seniors don’t want to admit to their children that they are having trouble with routine household tasks because they are afraid if they speak up they will lose their independence. But there will be signs if your mom or dad is finding it difficult to keep up with the household chores. One way that you can solve this problem is to get [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) for your senior parent now. Home care provides help for seniors with things like running errands, cooking meals, and cleaning the house. Even if your mom or dad is still in good health home care can make life easier for them at home. If you notice your mom or dad displaying any of these signs, then it’s definitely time to talk to them about getting home care: ### A Noticeable Decline in Home Cleanliness One of the first signs that your mom or dad may be struggling is a noticeable change in the cleanliness of their home. Look for dust piling up, dirty dishes left out for days, or clutter accumulating in living spaces. If the home looks messier or more disorganized than usual, it could mean they’re having trouble keeping up with regular cleaning tasks. ### Unusual Odors Unpleasant odors in the home can be a red flag. This might come from garbage that hasn’t been taken out, spoiled food in the refrigerator, or dirty laundry piling up. Your mom or dad may have difficulty with tasks like washing clothes, throwing out trash, or maintaining their kitchen. [**Home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can make sure that your mom or dad is living in a clean and sanitary environment. ### Neglecting Basic Maintenance Pay attention to whether basic maintenance tasks around the house are being overlooked. Burnt-out lightbulbs that aren’t replaced, broken appliances that go unfixed, or outdoor areas like lawns and driveways becoming unkempt are signs of struggle. These issues can pose safety risks, like tripping hazards or insufficient lighting, making it harder for your parent to navigate their home safely. ### Difficulty Managing Laundry Laundry is often one of the first household chores that seniors have trouble with. The process of bending to load a washer, transferring clothes to the dryer, and folding them can be physically demanding. If you notice large piles of unwashed clothes, clean laundry left unfolded, or a lack of clean bedding and towels, it’s time to get home care for your mom or dad. ### Spoiled or Missing Groceries Another sign your parent may be struggling is food going bad in the refrigerator or a lack of fresh groceries. Shopping and meal preparation can become challenging due to mobility issues, memory problems, or lack of energy. Check for expired food, empty cabinets, or an over-reliance on pre-packaged or frozen meals. If your mom or dad isn’t eating healthy food or if they are skipping meals it can affect their health. ### Avoiding or Postponing Chores Seniors who feel overwhelmed might start postponing or avoiding chores altogether. They may say things like, “I’ll get to it later,” or make excuses about why tasks aren’t done. This can happen because of physical pain, fatigue, or even depression. If your parent seems unwilling or unable to tackle chores they once handled with ease, it’s a strong sign they need help. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering **[Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/)** in [**Crawford County, KS**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

That’s especially the case if your mom or dad develops aggression or their personality changes and they become combative. Even though you’re an adult, it can be frightening when a parent acts aggressively, yells at you, or goes through personality changes. Alzheimer’s care at home can help. Alzheimer’s care at home gives you a break so that you can take a time out and process your feelings. [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) at home also means that an experienced care provider who knows how to effectively communicate with seniors that have Alzheimer’s will be there to help and support you. Just knowing you’re not alone can be a huge help. And a care provider that has experience working with seniors who have Alzheimer’s can help you learn how to act when your mom or dad becomes aggressive or combative. They can suggest tips like this to make it easier for you to communicate with your mom or dad and help them stay calm: ### Stay Calm and Avoid Arguing When your senior parent becomes aggressive, it’s important to stay calm and avoid arguing or raising your voice. Reacting with anger or frustration can escalate the situation. Take a deep breath, keep your tone gentle, and try to remain patient. Remind yourself that their behavior is a symptom of the disease, not a personal attack. Speak in a soothing voice, and use short, simple sentences to communicate clearly. ### Identify and Remove Triggers Aggression in seniors with Alzheimer’s is often triggered by something specific, such as physical discomfort, hunger, noise, or a confusing environment. Look for signs that your mom or dad might be upset because of a physical issue that they can’t express. For example, are they in pain? Are they overwhelmed by too much activity or noise? Once you identify the trigger, address it. For instance, if your mom or dad seems physically uncomfortable, check for tight clothing or an unmet need, like needing to use the bathroom. ### Redirect Their Attention Redirecting your parent’s focus can be an effective way to de-escalate aggression. Offer a distraction, such as a favorite activity, snack, or calming music. You might say something like, “Let’s sit down and look at this photo album,” or, “Would you like some tea?” Activities they enjoy or find familiar can help shift their mood and redirect their energy toward something positive. ### Reassure and Comfort Them Your mom or dad may be acting aggressive because they are confused or afraid. Imagine how upsetting it would be to suddenly find yourself in an unfamiliar place or not know why you were in a certain room. Providing reassurance can help calm your senior parent. Use comforting phrases like, “You’re safe,” or, “I’m here to help you.” Maintain eye contact and offer a gentle touch, like holding their hand or giving a light hug, if they’re comfortable with it. Reassuring them that you care and are there for them can help reduce feelings of distress. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Lamar, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Finding ways to address loneliness before it does serious harm is an important issue for families to address. **Content:** A surprising amount of seniors spend way more time alone than they ever expected they would. The big side effect of that fact is that they tend to deal with loneliness. Health issues, changes in their ability to socialize, and more all have a direct effect on senior socialization. [**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) is one way for seniors to improve their emotional wellness and avoid loneliness. ### Loneliness and Senior Health Among all of the various health issues facing seniors, loneliness is considered one of the silent epidemics. Chronic loneliness can lead to anxiety, sadness, and even depression. Seniors may start to withdraw emotionally from everyone around them, which affects mental and physical health. Extreme loneliness can even lead to cognitive decline, which is often a precursor to dementia. Higher stress levels and stress hormones affect the immune system as well as cardiovascular health. ### Emotional Support is Very Important Seniors need hands-on help when life is difficult, but emotional support is also important. Companion caregivers engage seniors in conversation and offer empathy in response to the problems seniors open up with them about. Seniors find a sense of connection and start to feel valued again, which improves mental wellness. ### Socialization Helps Cognitive Function Spending time around other people is incredibly helpful for cognitive function. Just talking to another person makes different areas of the brain fire up because seniors rely on memory, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions to have successful conversations. Seniors and companion caregivers also engage in activities together that also engage the brain. ### Making Socialization Easier Many seniors become lonely because it’s more difficult for them to socialize. Home care providers can help by making it easier for seniors to socialize with all sorts of other people. If seniors don’t drive any longer, for example, companion caregivers can help them to get where they want to be. When seniors can easily go to group activities and meet up with friends, that is a huge boost for their emotional wellness. ### Boosting Physical and Emotional Health [**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) can boost physical and emotional health in other ways, too. Seniors who have something to look forward to on a regular basis are more likely to be more physically active. They might be more inspired to clean up around the house for example, or they might want to go on walks with companion caregivers. All of this helps them feel better emotionally and physically. ### Practical Tips That Help If family caregivers are just opening up the conversation about loneliness and companion care at home, they might want to start out by talking to seniors about their lives now. Asking what they enjoy and what they don’t about what is going on currently can help family caregivers make suggestions. Offering the idea of companion care at home as something seniors can try out for a little while can make the idea feel a little less intimidating. Loneliness has more far-reaching effects than just making seniors feel emotionally bad occasionally. It can affect seniors on multiple levels, even damaging their health. Companion care at home is an easy solution that helps seniors avoid isolation and may even help them make a few new friends. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Companion Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) in **Carl Junction, MO**, please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Seniors may be fine for a long time handling personal care tasks on their own, for instance, but they eventually need help from [**personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) to handle these tasks. When do family caregivers know it’s time for this help? ### Mobility Challenges Personal care tasks are ones related to getting dressed, taking showers, and going to the bathroom, just to name a few. These are the types of tasks that become way more difficult when seniors start to experience serious mobility challenges. If seniors are having more trouble standing and walking or they are having a lot more difficulty with balance or fall risks, then home care can be a huge help. ### Frequent Hospital Trips If seniors are spending a lot of time in the hospital, either in the emergency room or for longer stays, they may be having more trouble with personal care tasks. Health changes that result in hospital visits often sap a lot of energy from seniors, which can make it more difficult for them to handle personal care tasks. ### Decline in Personal Hygiene In some situations, family caregivers may notice that their family member’s habits around personal care tasks have changed. They may not be bathing as often as they were in the past or they may be wearing clothing that is dirty or inappropriate for the weather. Gently probing and asking additional questions can help family caregivers figure out what is happening. ### Trouble Managing Household Tasks Neglecting household tasks, like laundry or meal preparation, could also be a sign that seniors need a little more help. These are basic tasks that help seniors to live safer, healthier lives, so if they’re not doing these tasks, family caregivers may need to suggest other options. [**Personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) providers can help seniors to eat healthy meals and live in a safe and clean environment. ### Cognitive Changes Cognitive changes are another big sign that seniors may start to need more help with all sorts of tasks. When seniors start to forget appointments or start showing signs of confusion, they may have trouble with personal tasks. Personal care at home can be there to offer just the support seniors need without taking over completely. ### Social Isolation When seniors avoid social engagements or express that they’re feeling lonely more often, they may be having difficulty with several areas of life. Personal care at home offers compassionate assistance with tasks, but these caregivers also get to know the seniors they assist. They spend a lot of time with seniors, assisting with tasks and helping them avoid loneliness and isolation. ### Increased Family Caregiver Stress Seniors can give family caregivers many different indications when they need more help with personal care tasks, but there are other signs as well. One big sign is when family caregivers start feeling more stressed and overwhelmed because their senior’s needs are changing quickly. Personal care at home can offer support that reduces those stress levels. Deciding to hire personal care at home is a big decision, but if seniors are having increasing amounts of trouble with specific issues, now might be the time to give them a try. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Personal Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

They can be quite painful and interrupt daily living, especially for seniors, whose age-related health vulnerabilities frequently intensify the problem. With the support of family and [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), however, seniors can gain knowledge about stomach ulcers and take steps to better manage them and avoid complications. ### Causes of Stomach Ulcers in Seniors The fundamental causes of stomach ulcers are the same across all age groups, but seniors are often dealing with other factors at the same time, which may make them more susceptible. Not only that but since seniors have lived longer, they’ve also had more exposure to H. pylori, which is a common bacterial infection that damages the protective mucus lining of the stomach. That damage allows stomach acid to cause ulcers. Other factors that make stomach ulcers more likely in seniors include the following: - **Frequent Use of NSAIDs:** Seniors regularly use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and aspirin, to treat arthritis, chronic pain, and cardiovascular disease. However, long-term use can damage the stomach lining, raising the risk of ulcers. - **Lifestyle Factors:** Smoking, heavy alcohol intake, and stress are all linked to stomach ulcers. Seniors who have had prolonged exposure to these risk factors may be at a higher risk. - **Age-related Changes:** Seniors’ reduced production of protective stomach mucus and slower healing processes make them especially vulnerable to ulcer development and consequences. ### Recognizing the Common Symptoms of Stomach Ulcers Seniors may have a variety of symptoms, some of which are similar to other gastrointestinal diseases. Because of this, it’s important that they, [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), and family members be on the lookout for those symptoms and monitor them appropriately so any concerns can be addressed by the health care team. Key symptoms to look for include: - **Abdominal Pain** - **Indigestion** - **Appetite changes** - **Dark or Bloody Stools** - **Unintentional Weight Loss** ### Complications and Risks for Seniors Stomach ulcers can cause serious consequences if not treated properly, particularly in seniors, which is another reason why consistent monitoring by their support team is key. Some of the complications and risks include internal bleeding, perforation—which is uncommon but potentially fatal—and obstruction of the digestive tract due to scarring from repeated ulcers. ### Managing and Preventing Stomach Ulcers The good news is that effective treatment and preventive care can dramatically improve seniors’ quality of life. For instance, the medical team may prescribe proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers to control stomach acid production. If H. pylori is present, antibiotics might also be required. Additionally, to promote digestive health, seniors should avoid smoking, restrict alcohol use, and eat a well-balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables. Elder care can help with this, offering tips for healthy meal planning, prepping foods, or even assisting seniors with cooking. Finally, it’s also important to monitor NSAID use and encourage seniors to make and keep routine check-ups with their medical team. Stomach ulcers can have a severe influence on seniors’ health and well-being if not treated properly. Seniors, working with elder care and their support team, can effectively manage this condition and avoid consequences by learning about the risk factors, recognizing symptoms, and implementing proactive treatment strategies. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Elder Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Carthage, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Washing hands is one of the easiest and most effective ways to help your senior parent protect their health. Simply washing hands often with soap can help seniors, and the people who spend time with them, avoid catching illnesses like the flu, colds, and Covid-19. And washing hands doesn’t require any extra effort. If your mom or dad has home care, their [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) provider can remind them to wash their hands throughout the day. If your senior parent has a medical appointment or is out running errands, they can protect themselves by using hand sanitizer when they can’t wash with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is a good alternative to soap when soap isn’t available, but it’s better for seniors to wash their hands whenever they can. Some of the ways that handwashing can help keep your senior parent healthy include: ### Reduces Infection Risk Regular handwashing helps eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, lowering the risk of infections such as colds, flu, and gastrointestinal illnesses, which can be more severe in seniors. Frequent handwashing also helps protect seniors from illnesses like RSV and Covid-19 which have been on the rise this year. ### Prevents Spread of Illness Many seniors have compromised immune systems because they have chronic illnesses. Seniors are more susceptible to contagious diseases, especially if they have an already compromised immune system. Hand hygiene prevents the transmission of pathogens from surfaces and other individuals, protecting your senior parent’s health. ### Prevents Illness During Recovery For seniors recovering from surgery or illness, clean hands can prevent complications and secondary infections, promoting quicker recovery. If your senior parent is recovering at home make sure that their home care provider, family members, therapists, and anyone else that coming into contact with your mom or dad washes their hands often as well. As a general rule, anyone that visits your mom or dad should wash their hands when they arrive. ### Supports Immune Health Consistent handwashing can reduce the overall burden of infectious diseases, allowing the immune system to function better without constantly fighting off infections. Your mom or dad should also be doing whatever they can to boost their overall immune health like eating a healthy diet, taking any supplements recommended by their doctor, and getting enough sleep. ### Encourages Healthy Habits Promoting regular handwashing can foster a greater awareness of personal hygiene, leading to a more health-conscious lifestyle that includes other preventive health measures. Seniors who spend a lot of time at home may think it’s not as important to wash their hands often because they aren’t going out in public. But germs, bacteria, and viruses don’t only exist outside the home. Seniors can still get sick when they’re at home. That’s why seniors need to wash their hands often even if they don’t go out often and spend most of their time at home. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Riverton, KS**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

As the illness progresses your mom or dad won’t be able to recognize their own body’s signals for things like hunger, thirst, or being tired. It will be up to you, and their care provider if they have one, to figure out when your senior parent needs food, water, or sleep. [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) at home can be a wonderful resource when you’re taking care of a senior parent with Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s care gives you the time off you need to recharge. And, care providers that specialize in Alzheimer’s care at home can help you understand what your senior parent needs as their symptoms change. Keeping your mom or dad on a strict routine for meals and bedtime should help them be hungry, thirsty, or tired around the same time each day. But watch out for these signs that your mom or dad is tired, and make sure that they get a nap or go to bed early if you notice them: ### Increased Irritability or Frustration A tired senior parent with Alzheimer’s may become more easily upset or show signs of frustration over minor issues. They might also express dissatisfaction with activities they usually enjoy. So if you suggest watching a favorite TV show or movie after dinner and they are irritable, frustrated, or angry about it they are probably just tired and need to go to bed instead of watching TV or a movie. ### Withdrawal from Activities If your parent starts to lose interest in social interactions, hobbies, or even family gatherings, it could be a sign that they are feeling exhausted and need a break. This is very common at family gatherings like holiday events or picnics in the summer. Anytime there are a lot of people around it’s going to take a lot of energy for your mom or dad to participate in conversations or keep up with what’s going on. If they leave a conversation abruptly, go sit by themselves, or wander out of the room those are all signs they’re tired and need a break. ### Difficulty Maintaining Focus You may notice that they struggle to concentrate on conversations or tasks, frequently losing track of what they are doing or saying. For example, if you are coloring or doing crafts with your mom or dad and they suddenly can’t focus on what they are doing or what you’re saying that is a cue to put the crafts away and try again later. ### Yawning or Rubbing Eyes Physical signs of fatigue, like yawning frequently, rubbing their eyes, or even nodding off, are clear indicators that they are tired. Just like children will get red-faced, whine, and rub their eyes when they need a nap or need to go to bed your mom or dad may use gestures like that to indicate they are tired. ### Changes in Speech Patterns If their speech becomes slower, more slurred, or less coherent, it may suggest they are too tired to communicate effectively. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Neosho, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Companions visit seniors to provide social interaction. **Content:** Companion care at home is a type of home care that can help seniors overcome one of the biggest challenges of living alone- being lonely. According to studies seniors who are aging in place are often lonely, even if they have family who visit as much as possible. Family members just can’t provide all of the socialization that a senior needs to be healthy and happy. And for housebound seniors, or seniors who have a hard time getting out on their own, [**companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) is the best way to make sure that they get the kind of social support that they need. With companion care at home, a companion will visit your mom or dad on a regular basis. Companions visit seniors just to provide social interaction. Their focus is on making sure that your mom or dad gets the attention and social contact they need. Some of the ways that a companion can provide social support for your mom or dad are: ### Engage in Conversation and Storytelling Good conversation is one of the simplest and most effective ways to combat loneliness. A companion can spend time talking with your mom or dad, sharing stories, discussing current events, or simply listening. This daily interaction makes your mom or dad feel valued and gives them a chance to express themselves. Having someone genuinely interested in their stories helps build a meaningful connection and brightens their day. ### Enjoy Hobbies and Activities Together A companion can join your mom or dad in activities they enjoy, whether it’s doing puzzles, crafting, or listening to music. Sharing these activities together gives your parent something to look forward to and keeps their mind engaged. It’s also a chance to introduce new hobbies, adding variety and excitement to their day. ### Play Games to Keep the Mind Active Playing games is an engaging way to keep your senior parent’s mind sharp while also being social. Whether it’s a classic board game, card game, or even computer-based trivia games and puzzles, these activities stimulate the mind and bring joy. Games create opportunities for laughter, competition, and teamwork, making them a great tool for reducing loneliness. ### Sharing Meals Conversation over meals is a wonderful way for your senior parent to connect socially. A companion can help your mom or dad cook new foods or try new dishes, then share those meals with them. Sharing old family recipes, experiencing foods they used to make all the time, and invoking all the memories of family dinners featuring those foods can all make your mom or dad feel more connected and less lonely. ### Listening To Music Or Playing Music Music has some well-documented therapeutic benefits.

However navigating the challenges involved can be difficult for family caregivers to do, so hospital to home transition care is an excellent option. **Content:** When cancer patients come home from the hospital, that’s a huge step in their battle. Coming home often means returning to feeling more normal in a comfortable environment. There are usually some big challenges, too, because patients usually need additional care. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care can help families determine what types of care are necessary and assist them in finding the resources they need. ### Preparing the Home Before cancer patients come home, they need to have a safe and comfortable space that accommodates their individual needs. Hospital to home transition experts work with patients, families, and healthcare providers to determine whether home modifications are necessary and what safety precautions should be implemented. Transition care experts help with things like setting up care areas and ensuring that the home is accessible and safe. ### Coordinating Post-Hospital Care Care plans help everyone involved understand the patient’s needs and preferences. These plans often include an entire team of healthcare providers so medication schedules, timelines for follow-up appointments, and information about ongoing treatments can be shared easily. Home care providers can help families to stay on top of personal care tasks, household needs, and nutritional needs. ### Managing Pain, Fatigue, and Other Symptoms Cancer patients typically are battling a lot of symptoms, both from their illnesses and from the treatments for cancer. Managing symptoms like pain and fatigue is crucial for helping cancer patients to remain comfortable. Multiple healthcare providers may offer different suggestions, which can cause confusion for families and patients. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care can help to simplify those instructions, ensuring that patients get what they need. ### Nutritional Concerns People who are battling cancer may find that they struggle to eat when their appetites are affected by treatments. They also need to hydrate properly in order to keep their bodies as healthy as possible. Hospital to home transition care can help patients and families to figure out solutions that address nutritional concerns for patients. ### Emotional Needs Cancer and cancer treatments take a huge emotional toll on patients. They may experience a lot of anxiety and fear about the future. Support groups, therapists or counselors, and people who understand what this battle is like can all be helpful for cancer patients to have access to. Sometimes just having someone there to listen is powerful. ### Supporting Family Caregivers Family caregivers can have a tough time navigating the challenges involved in caring for a cancer patient. It’s really difficult to witness challenging health battles and family caregivers need to have a break now and again to recharge and deal with their own feelings. Hospital to home transition care helps families understand more about what is going on and find the tools they need to be able to care for the people they love. When cancer patients are ready to come home from the hospital, there’s a lot to think about and to line up. Hospital to home transition care helps to simplify the process and ensures that families can find resources as they need them. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Hospital to Home Transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) in [**Duquesne, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

A few things that can cause tension in seniors are things like mental stress, and altered posture and gait. All of these things are unfortunately common for seniors. These problems may get worse if you have chronic pain or arthritis. Body tension can be reduced with regular mild exercise, stretching, and stress reduction methods. Keep in mind that if a senior is struggling every single day they may need to talk to a doctor to find other solutions to help tensions. If tension is mild these tips below may work for them. ### Understand What Could be Causing the Tension The first thing seniors need to identify is what they are doing that may be causing tension in their bodies. It could be a chronic illness, it could be poor posture, or it could be a lack of physical activity. Personal care at home can help observe your senior loved one throughout the day and they may be able to see what your senior mom or dad is doing that could cause tension in their bodies. Once [**personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) has seen what a senior is doing they can start helping your senior refrain from poor posture or encourage them to move more and create routines that can help minimize tension in the body. This can help your senior loved one age in place and live a higher quality life. ### Keep Moving One of the worst things a senior can do is to quit moving around. When they are feeling inflamed and dealing with tension it can feel like the worst idea to move and work out. However, by walking every day and moving about their house they can actually reduce inflammation and tension. 30-minutes of light physical activity can help your loved one age gracefully and it is something they should be trying to do every single day and it is something that personal care at home can help with. ### Use Heating Pads [**Personal care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) will want to help your senior manage pain as naturally as possible. One of the best ways to help tense muscles or a tense body is by using heat. Grab the nearest heated blanket or heating pad to place stiff and tense muscles. This can help with immediate relaxation. If your loved one does not have a heating pad this may be a good time to take a hot bath with some Epsom salt. Personal care at home can help your loved one get in and out of the bath if a senior is comfortable with the help. This is a great way to relax the body after a hard day and it may even help them ease any inflammation. ### Take Deep Breaths Something that not many seniors will think about when it comes to tension is taking deep breaths. Deep breathing can cause immediate relief in the body because it can help activate the relaxation response in the body. Deep breathing can counteract the flight or fight response that naturally happens during high-stress situations. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Personal Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/personal-care/) in [**Joplin, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

However, doing so can be confusing, especially when they’re already navigating a long list of changes. This is where the support of loved ones and [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) comes in, offering tips and trips for navigating dietary restrictions. ### Understanding What is Essential Prior to beginning meal preparation, it’s important for seniors to understand the particular nutritional requirements linked to their illness. The following is a brief summary of the main food factors to take into account for typical chronic conditions: - **Diabetes:** Seniors should manage their carbohydrate consumption to keep their blood sugar levels under control. Choosing complex carbs with a low glycemic index (GI) and balancing them with healthy fats and protein is part of this. - **Heart Disease:** Seniors should prioritize eating foods low in cholesterol, salt, trans fats, and saturated fats. For instance, they should eat more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids. - **High Blood Pressure:** To help control blood pressure, seniors should eat more foods high in potassium and less salt. Elder care can also encourage them to choose healthy foods over processed ones in order to reduce salt intake. - **Celiac Disease/Gluten Sensitivity:** Seniors should steer clear of wheat, barley, and rye to remove gluten from their diet. Instead, they can choose grains like corn, quinoa, and rice that are gluten-free. ### Crafting a Meal Plan The next step after determining what their dietary needs are is to design a balanced meal plan that satisfies their needs while also being enjoyable and satisfying. With [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) by their side, seniors can try the following tips to see if they help: - **Emphasize Whole Foods:** Whole foods are rich in natural nutrients and low in added sugars, sodium, and unhealthy fats. These foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and healthy fats. Seniors should be encouraged to make these the cornerstones of their diet, as long as their dietary requirements allow it. - **Center Meals Around Vegetables:** Almost every diet plan incorporates vegetables because they are adaptable, nutrient-rich, and diverse. Additionally, they are perfect for those with diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases because they are minimal in calories and carbohydrates. In order to make the most of this change, seniors should include a diverse range of vegetables. This also allows them to experiment with vegetables they’ve never tried before. - **Pay Attention to Portions:** Managing conditions like diabetes or heart disease requires careful portion control. To make sure seniors are eating the right amounts, they should use measuring cups, food scales, or visual indicators (such as the size of their palm for protein). - **Season Wisely:** When cutting back on sugar or sodium, seniors should concentrate on adding flavor to their food with vinegar, citrus, and herbs. These can improve the flavor of food without adding extra sugar or salt. Elder care can encourage them to try a variety of spices to see what they like best. It doesn’t have to be difficult for seniors to follow dietary restrictions brought on by long-term medical conditions, and with elder care by their side, it won’t be. Seniors can easily maintain a nutritious diet that promotes their general well-being by following the tips above. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Elder Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Making it easier for your mom to get around and making sure there are no obstructions in her path can lower the risk that she might fall. [**Home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) is something you should think about getting for your mom too. A home care provider can make sure your mom is safe at home every day, even when you can’t get there. And a home care provider can help your mom with everything from housework to running errands. If you want to make your mom’s home more accessible for her as she gets older consider making some of these modifications: ### Install Grab Bars Grab bars and handrails are not difficult to install, and they can make a world of difference for your mom’s safety. Place grab bars in key areas like the bathroom (near the toilet and in the shower or bathtub) to provide support and prevent falls. You can also install support bars in the hallways, near the stairs, or near her favorite chair in the living room so that she will be able to get up easily on her own. ### Add Non-Slip Mats Use non-slip mats or adhesive strips in the bathroom and kitchen to reduce the risk of slipping on wet or smooth floors. This is especially important in areas prone to spills like the kitchen or near the bathroom sink. Non-slip mats now come in a lot of decorative colors and patterns. They can function like rugs in the home adding color and style, but non-slip mats have a sturdy non-slip rubber backing that makes them safe for seniors. You may want to replace area rugs in your mom’s home with non-slip pads so that there’s no risk of her slipping and falling on an area rug. ### Improve Lighting Increase visibility by adding bright, energy-efficient LED bulbs in hallways, stairways, and other high-traffic areas. Brighter lighting is important, but so is lighting that is easier to access. If your mom has to walk down a dark hallway to find the light switch or walk into a dark bathroom and then fumble for the light switch she could fall in the dark. Motion-activated lights are a great option for lighting in hallways, in the bathroom, and in the kitchen so that the lights will automatically go on when your mom walks by the light. ### Install Lever-Style Door Handles Replace traditional round door knobs with lever-style handles, which are easier to operate for seniors with limited hand strength or dexterity. It’s also much harder for your mom to lock herself in a room accidentally with a lever-style doorknob. You can also add smart doorknobs to outside doors that have keycodes or fingerprint access entry. Those doors make it easier for your mom to get into the house because she won’t have to try and grip a key or turn the key in the lock. You can also assign a different key code to anyone who needs access to the house. That makes it very convenient for a home care provider to visit. ### Use Raised Toilet Seats Add a raised toilet seat or a toilet safety frame to make sitting down and standing up easier. This can help reduce strain and lower the risk that your mom will fall. Every year seniors at home fall when trying to lower themselves down onto a toilet or raise themselves up, sometimes falling and getting stuck between the toilet and the wall. A raised toilet seat can prevent that. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Pittsburg, KS**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Gentle massage, even on the hands, is one type of sensory activity to try. Physical touch offers a sense of connection and comfort. Using lotion or oil that is lightly scented with a favorite fragrance makes this enjoyable on another sensory level, too. ### Aromatherapy Aromatherapy activities, like using a diffuser or even just lighting a scented candle, help with offering comfort and a sense of well-being. They can also be useful in evoking memories for older adults. Calming scents like lavender and chamomile work well, but what really matters are the scents that seniors enjoy smelling. ### Music Another activity that can help to evoke memories while stimulating the senses is music. Music can help boost moods, help seniors feel calmer, and offer comfort. Using different music throughout the day can help seniors move through their daily routines. Home care providers can help seniors start their day with music, know it’s time for meals or physical activity with certain types of music and more. ### Tactile Stimulation Touching things can also be soothing, which is one reason that seniors with Alzheimer’s disease enjoy activities like rummaging through bags and drawers. Touching different textures and exploring tactile sensations helps to reduce restlessness. Some ways to use tactile stimulation include offering seniors fidget toys, exploring different textures, and holding stuffed animals. ### Visual Stimulation Looking at different or interesting things provides visual stimulation to seniors with Alzheimer’s disease. Venturing out on nature walks with Alzheimer’s care providers offers the opportunity for physical activity, but it also provides visual stimulation. Exploring different ideas for visual stimulation can be a fun activity for seniors. ### Taste Activities Taste is a sense, too, and sometimes it’s easy to overlook. But taste can be comforting and also brings memories back. Eating favorite snacks, drinking different types of herbal teas, and trying new flavors can all be great activities to try. It is important to consider dietary needs, of course, but trying these ideas in moderation can be fun. ### Physical Movement Physical movement works really well to reduce agitation and help seniors to feel calmer. As with foods, it’s important that the seniors’ doctors clear seniors for moving more. Gentle stretches help to relieve tension, they can also help to reduce anxiety. Going for a short walk can offer physical movement, but also gives the opportunity for visual stimulation through seeing new sights, aromatherapy by smelling different smells, and just being a lot of fun. Sensory activities are a great way to help seniors with Alzheimer’s disease experience less anxiety, especially if they’re done regularly throughout the week. Alzheimer’s care providers can help seniors with Alzheimer’s to find routines that build in these types of sensory activities. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Duquesne, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Living independently can be very isolating for seniors who have low vision. Seniors who have eye problems or vision challenges often don’t want to leave the house. But they may struggle to read, watch TV, play games, or engage in hobbies or activities that would allow them to socialize. [**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) is a great service that can help ensure that your mom or dad isn’t getting lonely or depressed at home. If your senior parent has companion care at home, they will get regular visits at home from a friend who can sit with them, chat with them, and do other things that will keep them engaged like: ### Engage in Conversation and Social Interaction A companion will spend quality time talking, sharing stories, and listening to your mom or dad’s feelings, experiences, and thoughts. They can discuss current events, read books, music, or any topic of interest to keep their mind engaged and stimulated. A companion can also do things like create lists of audiobooks for your mom or dad to listen to, create music playlists for them, make sure their voice-activated assistant is working, make sure the TV settings are correct, load up podcasts onto an audio player, and more. Sharing meals and conversations are also ways that a companion who provides companion care at home can help your senior parent stay socially connected even if they have low vision. ### Assist with Hobbies and Activities There are many things that seniors with low vision can do if they have a little help getting started. A companion can help your senior parent pursue hobbies they enjoy, such as listening to audiobooks, music, or radio programs. They can also participate in tactile activities together, like knitting, crafting, or gardening, which can be adapted for low vision. ### Organize Virtual Connections A companion can arrange phone calls and virtual visits with friends and family members, either on the phone or through video chats. The companion can also make sure that family phone numbers are connected to voice-activated assistants so that your mom or dad can tell the voice-activated assistant to call whoever they want to talk to automatically. ### Provide Emotional Support and Companionship Companions offer a listening ear and emotional support, showing empathy and understanding for their feelings and opinions. If your senior parent is struggling with the loss of a partner, sibling, or family member having a companion to talk with about it can help their grief journey. A companion can also encourage your senior parent to come out of their shell and try new things. Together they can engage in shared activities that foster a sense of companionship, such as cooking meals together, playing tactile games, or simply spending quiet time in each other’s company. Regular visits from a companion can be a fantastic way to make sure your mom or dad doesn’t become lonely at home. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Companion Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) in [**Duquesne, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Hospital to home transition care offers assistance in making a plan that covers all the bases. **Content:** A trip to the hospital, even for a routine procedure, can turn into a longer visit than seniors and family members might expect. When that happens, coming home can be more difficult than anticipated, even though that’s a good thing. There is help available, however. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care allows families to have someone there to help them figure out how to bring seniors home safely and easily. ### Get More Information About What’s Happening Information is powerful and helpful, particularly when making plans for aging adults coming home from the hospital. Family caregivers need to not only get as much information as possible about what seniors are up against, but they also need to understand that information. Hospital to home transition care experts can help a lot with this because they can simplify information and make sure family members get the answers they need. ### Start Seeking Help Before Discharge What’s really important is for family caregivers to seek assistance before their aging adult is discharged. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) assistance is about starting early in the process, putting family caregivers in touch with the resources that they need. That might include social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and other specialists. ### Plan Out How to Meet Physical Needs With more information and improved access to expert assistance, family caregivers can better sort out how to meet their senior’s physical needs once they come home. This could mean making adjustments at home before seniors are discharged. Rearranging furniture is a common need, as is adding modifications like grab bars in strategic locations, raising the toilet seat, or improving lighting. ### Organize Any Equipment Needs Sometimes seniors need additional equipment when they return home. That might look like using a cane, walker, or even a wheelchair to get around. Or seniors might need a hospital bed for the first few weeks they’re back at home. Transition care experts can help families know what they need to make life easier for their seniors and help them find that equipment. ### Schedule Follow-up Appointments Follow-up appointments are a big deal for seniors who have been in the hospital. There are a lot of different reasons seniors might need to see medical providers after hospitalization, especially if they are recovering from surgery or an illness. It might be possible to have some of those appointments handled in-home by medical providers or through telehealth, however. Hospital to home transition care can help with planning these types of appointments. ### Modify the Plan as Necessary Even the best plans need occasional modification, especially if the needs of the patient change significantly. Staying on top of those needs is not always easy to do, especially when this type of situation is a new one for family caregivers and seniors. Hospital to home transition care experts can be there along the way to help with those changes, suggesting options and solutions. It’s an important event when seniors are coming home from a hospital stay. That means that extra effort needs to go into making sure that their return home is successful and hospital to home transition care helps families find the help that they need. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Hospital to Home Transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) in [**Carthage, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

For seniors who are aging in place being without power, even for a short time, can be dangerous if the weather is hot. Seniors that are aging in place should have senior [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/). If your mom or dad has senior home care they won’t have to deal with emergencies like a power outage alone. And, if they need help, someone will be there with them to make sure they get it. Seniors have a hard time regulating their body temperature because of changes that occur naturally as they get older. So, when the power goes out it’s much more difficult for seniors to stay cool. If your mom or dad is living alone and the power goes out here are some things that can help them stay cool until the power comes back on: ### Keep Drinking Water Seniors should have lots of cool water to help regulate their body temperature. Use ice from the fridge or drink water that’s been in the fridge first. If there are any cooling foods in the fridge or freezer like ice cream, frozen fruit, or veggies like cucumbers that have lots of water those can also help seniors cool off. ### Cool Showers or Baths Taking a cool shower or bath can help lower body temperature. If bathing isn’t an option, using a damp washcloth to wipe down the body can also be effective. So can soaking their feet in a large tub or bowl of cool water. ### Shut Off Rooms Your senior parent and their care provider should stay in one room and close off other rooms to preserve the remaining cool air. Shut the vents in other rooms and close the doors. That will direct the remaining cold air to the room where your senior parent is. If the home has any battery-operated fans those fans can help circulate air to make it a little cooler. It’s a good idea to make sure that your senior parent has a couple of battery-operated fans just in case the power does go out. ### Use Wet Cloths or Ice Packs Apply wet cloths, cold packs, or ice packs to pulse points like the wrists, neck, and armpits to help cool down the body. Bags of frozen veggies can be used like cooling packs on the back of the neck, inner wrists, and forehead to help your senior parent stay cool. ### Visit Cooling Centers If the power doesn’t come back on promptly your mom or dad’s care provider should take them to a cooling center or a place that has power like the library, a mall, or a movie theater to keep them cool until the power returns. It can be scary for your mom or dad to experience a weather emergency or a power outage if you live far away. But if your mom or dad has senior home care they won’t have to go through an emergency situation alone. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Jasper County, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Because diabetes interacts with other age-related health issues, managing diabetes in seniors poses unique challenges. Thankfully, [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can offer seniors tips and tricks for effectively managing health concerns and help them gather the information they need to make better choices. ### Heart Conditions Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular illnesses, such as peripheral artery disease, heart attacks, and strokes, in seniors. Diabetes also raises the risk of blood vessel damage as well as damage to the nerves that regulate the heart and blood vessels. Crucial steps needed to reduce these risks include controlling blood sugar levels, eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and keeping an eye on cholesterol and blood pressure. ### Kidney Issues One of the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is diabetes. Over time, renal damage from high blood sugar might result in chronic kidney disease (CKD) or possibly renal failure. Diabetic seniors should have blood and urine tests performed on a regular basis to check kidney function. In addition to prescription medications, controlling blood pressure and blood sugar levels can help preserve renal function. ### Vision Issues Diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma are just a few of the eye conditions that can result from diabetes and cause visual loss. For the purpose of early detection and treatment, seniors should get routine eye exams. These vision problems can be prevented or managed with the help of good blood pressure and blood sugar control, as well as perhaps laser treatments or surgery. ### Nerve Damage Diabetes-related complications in seniors may include diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage. This ailment may result in numbness, tingling, or pain, particularly in the hands and feet. Severe cases may result in a lack of feeling, which raises the possibility of infections and injury. Handling blood sugar levels, taking good care of their feet, and taking medication on a regular basis will help prevent nerve damage. ### Cognitive Regression An increasing amount of research indicates that seniors with diabetes have a higher chance of developing dementia and cognitive deterioration. Cognitive impairment can be a result of high blood sugar levels as well as other diabetes-related problems like cardiovascular disease. Keeping blood sugar under control, getting regular exercise and mental stimulation, and eating a balanced diet are all critical tactics for promoting brain health. ### Anxiety and Depression Having a chronic illness such as diabetes can have a negative impact on one’s mental well-being. Diabetes care might become even more difficult for seniors with the disease because they are more likely to experience anxiety and sadness. Counseling, support groups, routine mental health examinations, and occasionally medication can all aid in the management of these issues. In addition, seniors with the support of home care have built-in socialization that may help decrease bouts of depression. ### Joint and Bone Problems Diabetes may have an impact on bone health, raising the possibility of fractures and osteoporosis. Seniors with diabetes are also more likely to have joint disorders like osteoarthritis. Bone health depends on controlling blood sugar, exercising frequently, eating a diet high in calcium and vitamin D, and maintaining a nutritious diet. Seniors with diabetes must manage a number of health issues that may impede their general well-being. With the help of home care, their medical team, and loved ones, they can get the support they need to manage these conditions and improve their general well-being. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Newton County, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

If you are struggling to take care of a senior parent who has Alzheimer’s you’re not alone. And you don’t have to take care of your mom or dad alone. [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) at home is available for seniors who have Alzheimer’s but want to stay in their homes. Alzheimer’s care at home is specialized care that meets the unique needs of seniors who are living with Alzheimer’s. If your senior mom or dad has just been diagnosed now is a good time to start Alzheimer’s care. Your mom or dad will be able to bond with a caregiver now, and that bond can help them later on. But, Alzheimer’s care can help if your senior parent has more advanced Alzheimer’s too. The care providers who work with seniors who have Alzheimer’s have education and experience that gives them the tools to help seniors with Alzheimer’s, and their families. ##### Some of the ways that [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) can help your senior parent and your family are: ### Medication Reminders Caregivers who work with seniors who have Alzheimer’s will make sure that your senior parent knows when to take their medications. They will ensure that medications are taken correctly and on time so your senior mom or dad doesn’t miss doses of the medications they need. ### Meal Preparation Caregivers will cook healthy meals that your senior parent will enjoy, and make sure that they eat regularly. Seniors who have Alzheimer’s can develop sensory issues that make food unappealing to them, even foods they used to love. A care provider who understands how Alzheimer’s can change a senior’s tastes will work with your senior parent to find foods they like that are healthy. ### Creating a Safe Environment Caregivers will help make sure that your mom or dad is safe at home. They may suggest safety upgrades like code locks instead of key locks, security cameras, motion-activated lights, grab bars, and other devices that can make the home safer for a senior with Alzheimer’s. ### Providing Emotional Support Caregivers offer companionship and emotional support, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety by engaging in conversations and activities that the senior enjoys. ### Cognitive Stimulation Caregivers also engage your senior mom or dad in activities that stimulate the mind, such as puzzles, memory games, reading, or arts and crafts, to help maintain cognitive function. By playing games, doing activities, and exploring hobbies caregivers add to the quality of life your senior parent has. ### Behavioral Management Caregivers manage challenging behaviors like agitation, aggression, or wandering by using techniques such as redirection, reassurance, and creating a calm environment. They can also teach you and other family members how to use these techniques so that you can communicate more effectively with your mom or dad. ### Household Management Caregivers often take on household chores such as cleaning, laundry, and shopping. They also can get the mail, take out the trash, and do all the other day to day chores that are necessary to keep the home clean and safe. ### Transportation and Errands Caregivers can take your senior mom or dad to medical appointments if you can’t, or arrange for home health care. They can also take care of grocery shopping, running errands, pet care, and other chores that your senior parent can no longer do. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Carthage, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

When a senior parent loses their spouse that they lived with it can be hard for them to adjust to living alone after living with someone they loved, especially if they were together for a long time. The grieving process is different for everyone, so it can be difficult to know the best things to do to support your mom or dad while they grieve. And you are probably dealing with your own grief too. But helping your mom or dad will also help you process your grief. Now would be a great time to learn more about companion care at home. If your mom or dad has [**companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) they won’t be alone as they adapt to a new normal. You will have the physical and emotional space that you need to grieve, and your mom or dad will have a friend with them in their home who can watch TV with them, share meals with them, and make your mom or dad feel less alone. Some other things that you can do to support your mom or dad in the grieving process are: ### Listen and Validate Her Feelings Be present for your mom and create a safe space for her to express her emotions. Listen actively without judgment and validate her feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or whatever else she may be experiencing. Let her know that it’s okay to grieve and that her feelings are valid. Tell her it’s ok to talk about her loved one and her memories of that person. Ask questions and let her tell stories about them. ### Offer Practical Support Help alleviate some of the practical burdens your mom may be facing, such as handling household chores, managing finances, or making funeral arrangements. By taking on some of these tasks, you can allow your mom to focus on her grief without feeling overwhelmed by other responsibilities. If you can’t be there daily to help with practical tasks that she isn’t able to do, get home care for her. ### Provide Emotional Support Offer comfort and reassurance to your mom during this difficult time. Offer hugs, hold her hand, or simply sit with her in silence if that’s what she needs. Let her know that you’re there for her and that she doesn’t have to go through this alone. If you have siblings, make sure they do the same. ### Encourage Self-Care Remind your mom to take care of herself physically and emotionally during the grieving process. Encourage her to eat nutritious meals, get plenty of rest, and engage in activities that bring her comfort and solace. If she finds it comforting to be reminded of that person get some photos of the two of them together and hang them up in the home. ### Help Her Stay Connected Encourage your mom to maintain connections with supportive friends and family members. Help her set up phone calls or video chats with loved ones who live further away. Staying connected with others can provide valuable support and companionship during the grieving process. ### Be Patient and Understanding Understand that grieving is a highly individual process, and everyone experiences it differently. Be patient with your mom and allow her to grieve at her own pace. Avoid imposing timelines or expectations on her, and instead, offer unconditional love, patience, and understanding as she navigates this difficult time. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Companion Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) in [**Carthage, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Both of these things work in tandem to ensure seniors have the support they need. For instance, technology offers a wide range of solutions to meet different demands and difficulties that seniors may face, while home care gives them the encouragement and support they need to embrace technology. Some of the advancements that seniors might take advantage of include the following: ### Innovations in Smart Homes The introduction of smart home innovations is one of the biggest effects of technology on aging in place. These technologies combine a variety of sensors and devices to automate processes, improve security, and offer convenience. Smart home systems provide features like the following for seniors: - **Voice-Activated Assistants:** By allowing seniors to operate lights, thermostats, and other appliances with voice commands, voice-activated assistants such as Google Home and Amazon Echo reduce manual labor and improve accessibility. - **Intelligent Security Systems:** Seniors can feel safe in their homes, and family members can monitor them remotely thanks to real-time monitoring and alerts provided by advanced security cameras, doorbell cameras, and motion sensors. - **Smart Appliances:** These appliances make daily tasks easier and lower the chance of accidents. Examples include smart stoves with automatic shut-off features and refrigerators that track food inventory. ### Remote Monitoring and Telehealth Seniors can now access healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes, thanks to the growing prevalence of telehealth services. Seniors can consult with doctors, get medical advice, and even have examinations done remotely by using video calls. This saves time and reduces the need for frequent trips to healthcare facilities. Healthcare professionals can also track vital signs, medication compliance, and activity levels with wearable technology and remote monitoring systems, which enables proactive intervention and individualized care. Additionally, with [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), seniors get reminders about their appointments and the encouragement they need to ask questions and talk about their concerns. ### Interaction and Social Bonding Seniors can now connect with loved ones and participate in social activities more easily thanks to technology. Video calling platforms such as Skype, Zoom, and FaceTime facilitate in-person interactions with loved ones, friends, and support systems, assisting in the fight against social isolation and loneliness. Additionally, senior-focused online communities and social media platforms offer opportunities for sharing interests, pastimes, and experiences, which promotes a sense of belonging. ### Help with Mobility and Fall Identification Technology can help seniors who are concerned about falling or have mobility problems feel more independent and safe. Mobility aids that enable seniors to confidently navigate their surroundings include stairlifts, motorized scooters, and smart canes. Additionally, in the event of a fall, wearable technology with fall detection sensors instantly notifies caregivers or emergency services, enabling timely assistance and lowering the possibility of prolonged immobilization. Age-friendly technologies, along with valuable home care assistance, are making it easier for seniors to age in place. Seniors who embrace technology can continue to be independent, stay engaged in their communities, and live better in their own homes. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Lamar, MO**](http://contact), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

The truth is there are different types of home care assistance and depending on what your loved one needs will determine who you choose to help them. All types of home care can be good for certain individuals but you need to evaluate your senior to find out what their needs are. They are more than capable of aging in place when they have the right team set up. When they have extra help from home care assistance they can thrive and continue to live a high-quality life. ### Personal Care at Home If your loved one needs help with bathing, dressing, or just making it to the bathroom they may need help from personal care at home. Just because your loved one needs help getting dressed in the morning, does not mean they need to give up living a life at home. When they can’t do certain basic things on their own, it can make you worry about their quality of life. But the truth is by having someone who is a professional, they can remain independent, and still thrive. Personal care at home is good for seniors who can do most things on their own but need help with some of the basics. ### Skilled Nursing Sometimes seniors need more help than what a standard caregiver can give them. If they need help with medication management, doctor appointments, or following orders, they need a skilled nurse. This may be especially true if they have a wound or something that needs to be cleaned and taken care of. Your loved one will need to find a nurse who can work with their doctor to ensure they are staying healthy. A skilled nurse may work in tandem with a caregiver so your loved one has full support where they need it. ### 24-Hour Home Care Seniors with dementia are often fine with regular caregivers but they need more help during the middle of the night especially when they are experiencing sundowning. Your loved one may need help if they get up or when they need to go to bed. It can be hard to maintain a good routine all day and this is when 24-hour home care comes in handy. ### Hospital to Home Transition Care Seniors may not need a long care term, but they may need [**hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care. They may have or need surgery and they know they will need help after the hospital but not forever. These are professionals who can help set the house up for a good recovery and ensure a senior is doing everything a doctor says to do. If your loved one is going to need follow-up appointments, these professionals can help not only manage a calendar but also provide transportation. This service can truly help how well a senior heals and recovers after surgery and they may even help a senior avoid going back to the hospital for another day. The more your senior loved one takes healing seriously the less likely they are to get readmitted. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Hospital to Home Transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

[**Elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can help your mom with a variety of things so that she can continue living in the home she loves. If you are worried about your mom’s ability to take care of herself as she gets older and aren’t sure what to do to help her here’s what you should know about elder care: ### Elder Care Helps All Seniors It doesn’t matter if your mom is perfectly healthy and is just dealing with normal aging issues or if she has mobility challenges and health challenges. Elder care can help. The caregivers who provide elder care are trained to work with seniors who have all kinds of medical conditions or none at all. They provide general help and companionship so that seniors stay healthy and comfortable at home. ### Care Can Change Over Time If your mom wants to continue living in her home for as long as possible but her needs change over the years that’s ok. The level of care that she receives can change too. At first, your mom might need just a little light housekeeping help and some help with meals. But if she needs more help as time goes by there are other types of care available to help with things like showering and personal care, home health care, or even dementia-related care. ### Emergency Care is Available If your mom has a fall or suffers from a medical crisis like a heart attack or a stroke care is available for her when she comes home from the hospital. She can recover safely at home where she wants to be with the support of care providers who have experience and training working with seniors who are in recovery. Her safety, health, and comfort are always the top priorities. ### Elder Care Helps With Medical Appointments Another concern that lots of family members have is what will happen to Mom when she can’t drive any longer. [**Elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can help with transportation and accompany your mom to medical appointments. She won’t be stuck trying to figure out a ride share or waiting for a taxi and she won’t have to go to medical appointments alone. A care provider can also take her to the hair salon, the nail salon, shopping, and anywhere else that she needs to go. ### Elder Care Means Better Nutrition If you can’t be here to see your mom often you may not even realize if she’s not eating as much as she should or getting the nutrition that she needs. Typically, losing weight is the first sign that a senior loved one isn’t eating the way they should. But if your mom has elder care you can be confident that your mom is eating healthy and delicious meals every day. A care provider can cook meals for your mom and share meals with her to make mealtimes fun. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Elder Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Joplin, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

[**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) emerges as a compassionate solution, addressing this delicate equilibrium by offering both support and companionship to older adults within the comfort of their own homes. This form of care not only aids in the practical aspects of daily living but also plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall quality of life for seniors. Let’s explore the multifaceted advantages of companion care at home for seniors striving to sustain independence while receiving the necessary assistance. ### It Aims to Preserve Independence One of the most significant benefits of companion care at home is its role in preserving the senior’s independence. Unlike more intensive forms of care that may take over many aspects of daily living, companion care assists with tasks at a level that encourages seniors to continue engaging in their abilities. Caregivers support activities of daily living (ADLs) such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, and personal care in a way that respects the senior’s autonomy, enabling them to live independently for as long as possible. This gentle approach ensures that seniors maintain a sense of control and dignity, which is fundamental to their self-esteem and overall well-being. ### It Offers Emotional and Social Support Companion care goes beyond mere physical assistance; it provides invaluable emotional and social support. Companions become trusted friends who listen, share in activities, and provide social interaction, which is vital for seniors who may otherwise experience loneliness and isolation. This aspect of care is particularly beneficial for seniors whose families may not live nearby or who have limited opportunities to engage socially. Regular interaction with a compassionate caregiver can help alleviate feelings of loneliness, reduce the risk of depression, and encourage a more positive outlook on life. ### It Focuses on Safety and Supervision For families, the safety and well-being of their aging loved ones are paramount. [**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) offers peace of mind by providing oversight and ensuring that the senior is safe in their environment. Home care aides can monitor for fall risks, help manage medications to avoid mishaps, and be present to assist in the event of an emergency. This supervision allows seniors to live safely at home, reducing the risk of accidents and providing families with the assurance that their loved ones are well cared for. ### It Encourages a Healthy Lifestyle Companion caregivers play a crucial role in promoting a healthy lifestyle for seniors. They can encourage regular exercise by accompanying seniors on walks, assisting in meal planning and preparation to ensure nutritious diets, and reminding seniors to take their medications on time. Additionally, companions can engage seniors in mentally stimulating activities, such as puzzles, reading, or games, which are essential for cognitive health. This comprehensive approach to care supports not only the physical health of seniors but also their mental and emotional well-being. ### It Provides Flexibility and Customization Companion care at home offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing services to be tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each senior. Care plans can be adjusted as the senior’s needs change, providing the right level of support at the right time. Whether a senior requires a few hours of companionship a week or daily assistance, companion care can be customized to fit their lifestyle, ensuring they receive the benefits of both independence and assistance without compromising on their quality of life. ### It Helps Strengthen Family Relationships By taking on the role of caregiver, companion care at home can alleviate the pressure on family members, allowing them to return to their primary role of loved ones rather than caregivers. This shift can significantly reduce family stress, prevent caregiver burnout, and strengthen the bond between seniors and their families. With the assurance that professional caregivers are providing the necessary support, families can enjoy quality time with their aging loved ones, creating lasting memories without the strain of caregiving responsibilities. ### It Provides Balance Companion care at home offers a holistic solution for seniors navigating the balance between independence and the need for assistance. It preserves autonomy, provides emotional and social support, ensures safety and supervision, encourages a healthy lifestyle, and strengthens family relationships. By tailoring services to the individual needs of each senior, companion care ensures that aging adults can enjoy the comfort and familiarity of their own homes while receiving the support they need. This form of care not only enhances the day-to-day life of seniors but also provides peace of mind for their families, knowing that their loved ones are in compassionate and capable hands. As we move forward, the role of companion care at home will continue to be invaluable in supporting the aging population, making it an essential component of senior care services. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Companion Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) in [**Webb City, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Gardening is a fun activity for seniors who are living at home. Seniors can make a backyard garden or use planter boxes and raised beds to make small garden plots that are easy to manage. If your senior parent has been looking for a new hobby or activity to try gardening has some real benefits for seniors. Seniors who need a little help because they have mobility challenges, can’t grip tools very well, or just want some company can get help from [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/). [**Home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can help seniors make the most of the spring and summer by helping with household chores as well as outdoor activities like gardening. Some of the benefits seniors can get from gardening are: ### Physical Exercise Gardening provides seniors with gentle exercise through tasks such as digging, planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting. These activities help improve strength, flexibility, and endurance, promoting better balance and coordination. Seniors who get out and garden can also reduce their risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. ### Improved Mobility and Motor Skills The movements required in gardening, such as reaching, bending, and lifting, help seniors maintain and improve their mobility and motor skills. These activities encourage joint flexibility and muscle strength, which are essential for performing daily tasks and preventing falls. Gardening can be particularly beneficial for seniors with arthritis or other mobility issues, as it provides a gentle form of exercise that can help make other daily tasks easier. ### Stress Reduction and Relaxation Spending time outdoors in nature and connecting with the earth through gardening has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in seniors. The therapeutic effects of gardening, often referred to as horticultural therapy, promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. The rhythmic tasks involved in gardening, such as planting seeds or pulling weeds, can be meditative and calming, helping seniors feel more grounded and at peace. ### Social Interaction and Connection Gardening can be a social activity that helps seniors create connections with others in the community. Seniors who participate in community gardens or gardening clubs have the opportunity to meet friends, talk to people, share gardening tips, and collaborate on projects. ### The Freshest Vegetables Growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs in a garden gives seniors access to fresh, nutritious produce right at their fingertips. Seniors can save money and save trips to the store by growing their own tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, squash, and other fruits and vegetables. And nothing beats the taste of vegetables that are freshly picked. ### Cognitive Stimulation Gardening stimulates cognitive function and processes like spatial reasoning in seniors by engaging various senses and stimulating the mind. Planning and organizing a garden layout, identifying plants, problem-solving gardening challenges, and learning new techniques all contribute to cognitive stimulation. ### Sense of Purpose and Achievement Gardening gives seniors a sense of purpose and accomplishment as they nurture plants and watch them grow and thrive. Seeing the fruits of their labor, whether it’s a blooming flower or a ripe tomato, can boost self-esteem and confidence. Gardening provides seniors with meaningful activities that give structure to their days and create a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in Carl Junction, MO, please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Hospital to home transition helps make these difficulties easier to manage. **Content:** Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a complicated degenerative neurological condition that brings with it a variety of different symptoms. March is National Multiple Sclerosis Education & Awareness Month, which is a great time to learn more about how MS affects people, especially seniors, and understand more about why patients with MS tend to spend more time in the hospital. People with MS can greatly benefit from assistance like [**hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care, especially as their condition progresses and they experience more frequent hospitalizations. ### MS is Progressive An important fact about multiple sclerosis is that the condition is progressive and has periods of relapse and remission. During these relapses or exacerbations, symptoms often worsen significantly. This can involve increased fatigue, mobility problems, and sensory issues. Sometimes these symptoms worsen to such an extent that they lead to hospitalization. Returning home from the hospital can be a shock, especially if MS patients are in the hospital for a longer time. ### Treatments Bring Complications Another big problem can be that some of the treatments for MS bring complications that make life more difficult for seniors. Often people with MS take medications and other treatments that affect the immune system, making it less effective. These treatments also have other side effects and complications that can quickly lead to hospitalization. ### Symptoms Range from Mild to Severe The symptoms of MS range from mild to severe at all stages of the illness. Sometimes exacerbations cause symptoms to become unmanageable at home, even with the help of home care services and other solutions. That means that a trip to the hospital becomes necessary. ### Immune System Challenges are a Huge Problem When the immune system is compromised, that means that it’s easier than ever for people with MS to face all sorts of infections. Some of the most common infections include respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. The worse these infections are, the more likely it is that the person with multiple sclerosis ends up hospitalized. ### Functional Decline is a Huge Problem Because MS affects how the nervous system functions, worsening MS causes functional decline. This means that people with MS experience worsening mobility and physical function. After even a few days in the hospital, these functional issues become even more pronounced. [**Hospital to home transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) care can assist with mobility and ensure that MS patients are safe at home. ### Existing Health Conditions Often Become Exacerbated People with multiple sclerosis may also have other health issues already that affect their health. When those health conditions worsen, that can contribute to frequent hospitalizations. Managing complex health issues along with MS makes everything more complicated and often requires additional assistance, especially when returning home from the hospital. Many people with MS are shocked to find themselves in the hospital more often than they expected. Hospital to home transition care can help to make it easier for these patients to return home and have the help that they need in order to recover and experience the best possible quality of life. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Hospital to Home Transition**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/hospital-transition-to-home/) in [**Joplin, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

It’s going to be tough. And it’s not going to get easier. That is one of the most crucial aspects family members need to realize and accept: that the disease will progress and it will get tougher to support them. Often, family feels it’s their responsibility to look after this aging senior. Whether the diagnosis is Alzheimer’s, another form of dementia, heart disease, cancer, stroke, injuries, major surgery, or anything else, the family is almost always the first one to step up and provide care. Professional, experienced [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) is available. It can make a world of difference, especially for somebody diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia. There are many strategies, techniques, and methods that professional, experienced in-home care aides can employ that most family members are not aware of, at least at first. ### Isn’t it like you’re giving up on that senior? This is one of the common misconceptions people have when it comes to relying on outside elder care options. They think it’s a sign they no longer care or that they have given up on this aging loved one. Whether it’s a grandparent, great-grandparent, parent, or even a spouse or sibling, you worry that turning to [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) will give the wrong signals. After all, what is that senior going to think when a stranger, somebody they’ve never met before, shows up at their house and begins doing what you or other family members have been doing for a while? Will they think that the end is near? Will they believe you’re giving up? Will they get angry? Will they get sad? Yes, they might get angry. It’s possible they could become sad or feel isolated. But you don’t have to give up on them. And you won’t. You can check in on them daily, stop by, and still do the same things you had been doing before, but allow a professional, experienced person to lead. ### How would this relieve anxiety? You don’t get a break as a family caregiver. You don’t get the luxury or option of being able to step back, do your own thing, or just spend real, quality time with this senior. You are worried about all the other things, the laundry, getting dressed, helping them eat properly, and having to deal with the progression of Alzheimer’s. If a professional person, an [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) aide was there supporting them instead, you could focus on the relationship, loving them in the way they need. That’s the best way to do it. ### Is it ever too late? A common question people have when they’re supporting an aging parent or other loved one with Alzheimer’s for many years is, once it reaches a certain point when the progression of Alzheimer’s is advanced, isn’t it too late? No, it’s not. Remember, it’s not just that senior who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s who is dealing with the symptoms. It’s also you, other family members, and friends. So don’t hesitate and don’t wait; look to in-home care to support that loved one who has Alzheimer’s. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Webb City, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Healthy eating and good digestion may suffer from several age-related problems, including medications they take, a sedentary lifestyle, and even tooth decay or gum disease. As a result, there is a chance of developing ulcers, diverticulitis, indigestion, and constipation. Ensuring seniors have the proper healthy diet to combat these changes is essential. This is easily done by adding [**in-home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) to provide healthy meal planning and even cooking when needed. As loved ones consider what assistance seniors need, consider the following ways that digestion can be improved with the help of a supportive team. ### Digestion and Hydration Work Together Few people maintain the necessary hydration levels, which can help improve digestion. Adults in the United States used about 44 ounces of water per day between 2015 and 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which is much less than the 64 oz. daily requirement. This statistic is even more critical for seniors, as they tend to lose more water in their bodies with aging. The consequences of not drinking enough fluids can be felt in several ways, including headaches, exhaustion, dry skin, or even a compromised immune system. Seniors might shy away from drinking water throughout the day due to incontinence issues, or they may simply forget. [**In-home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) providers can assist with gentle reminders and support to ensure seniors feel comfortable getting the needed fluids. ### Essential Foods for Better Digestion Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most important ways to improve digestion. Seniors might find it difficult as they combat health issues or problems with mobility. Having in-home care helps seniors plan healthy meals and cook or prep foods. This added support motivates seniors to incorporate foods that improve their health. Along with maintaining a healthy weight, seniors should focus on fiber to improve their digestion. High-fiber options include fresh fruits and vegetables. Loved ones or home care aids can assist seniors on the path to better digestion and health by taking them to a farmers market and walking through the aisles to pick new items to try. This activity broadens seniors’ knowledge of foods and provides them with essential physical activity. Other high-fiber foods to incorporate into a digestion-friendly diet include whole grains, nuts, and seeds. ### Encourage Seniors to Try New Things With all the other changes seniors face, changing their diets might be difficult. After all, they’ve probably been eating the same things for most of their life. If seniors aren’t used to using healthy foods or see them as more difficult or expensive, they may fight against the change even more. In addition to shopping at the local farmers market, researching food co-ops in the area or talking with loved ones about creating a home garden are great ideas. Both options provide benefits beyond healthy eating as seniors may volunteer and gain social interactions at the co-op or get much-needed vitamin C while tending to the garden. Additionally, [**in-home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) professionals can assist by helping maintain seniors’ safety in the garden or transporting them to the co-op. In-home care can assist seniors in many ways to make the most of each day. From ensuring they eat a healthy diet that aids digestion to helping them remain active throughout the day, they also provide stress relief to loved ones and seniors by supporting safety and socialization. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**In-Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Joplin, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Such news can have significant psychological ramifications in addition to physical ones. Friends, family, and the [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) team must recognize and support the emotional health of elders who are receiving a medical diagnosis. This blog explores how home care can help seniors navigate the psychological components of their health journey. - **Open Communication:** Having honest and open communication is one of the first steps in helping seniors deal with a medical diagnosis. Create a secure area to discuss their worries, anxieties, and inquiries, and encourage them to communicate these things. Seniors with [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) already in place might be more successful with this due to the bonds they’ve built. - **Information Empowerment:** Knowing might help seniors feel less anxious. For this reason, the support team can give seniors trustworthy information from dependable sources to help them comprehend their medical situation. Additionally, loved ones or a member of the home care team can attend doctor appointments with seniors, make notes, and make inquiries on their behalf. This keeps everyone informed and gives seniors greater control over their circumstances. - **Emotional Support:** A medical diagnosis can have a psychological impact that sets off a range of feelings, such as fear, grief, and frustration. [**Home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) provides emotional support by acknowledging seniors’ emotions and reassuring them that it’s common to feel confused and out of control. Assure them that their support network is available to offer consolation and understanding and that they are not alone. - **Promote Healthy Coping Strategies:** Assist seniors in creating and sustaining healthy coping strategies to help them deal with the emotional difficulties brought on by their diagnosis. This could be doing things they enjoy, learning how to relax, or reaching out to support networks. It might also be helpful to encourage loved ones to express themselves creatively through writing or other artistic endeavors. - **Encourage Social Connections:** Being alone can make a medical diagnosis more psychologically taxing. Urge elderly people to stay in touch with one another by going out with friends and family or taking part in local events. A sense of community and emotional support are two things that social contacts can offer, both of which improve general well-being. - **Professional Counseling:** If seniors need a special place to process their feelings, think about getting them professional counseling or therapy. Seniors facing specific obstacles in adjusting to a medical diagnosis can greatly benefit from the advice and support provided by mental health specialists with experience in medical counseling. - **Adaptation and Goal-Setting:** By establishing reasonable and attainable objectives, seniors can concentrate on adjusting to their new circumstances. These objectives may concern their everyday routine, hobbies, or health. Honor modest accomplishments and promote optimism by highlighting opportunities for personal development and fulfillment despite obstacles. A caring and comprehensive strategy is necessary to assist seniors in navigating the psychosocial ramifications of a medical diagnosis. Providing home care can help seniors navigate their health journey with resilience and a sense of empowerment, especially when they utilize good coping methods and open communication, along with emotional support. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Neosho, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

The pace of life these days is very hectic, especially if you are trying to juggle taking care of a senior parent who has Alzheimer’s with family obligations, work obligations, and the things you need to do to take care of yourself. [**Alzheimer’s care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) is a specialized kind of care for seniors who have Alzheimer’s. It can provide respite care for you. Respite care is when a professional caregiver takes over so that you can have time off from taking care of your senior parent. #### Caregivers Need Help Seniors with Alzheimer’s have special needs. Because of the way that Alzheimer’s affects the brain, seniors who have it will progressively need more supervision and more care. Family caregivers will need to invest more time and energy in keeping their senior parents safe and making sure that their physical health needs are taken care of. That can create a lot of stress for family caregivers who also need to juggle other responsibilities. Alzheimer’s care can help family caregivers with things like: ### Medical Appointments Getting a senior parent who has Alzheimer’s to a medical appointment can be an all-day task. First, you need to get them up, dressed, and ready to go. Then, you need to get them to the medical building and get them safely inside. After that, you need to keep them busy while waiting and get through the appointment. And then you need to get them home and settled. If you can’t take off an entire morning or day to get your senior parent to a medical appointment, [**Alzheimer’s care** ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/)providers can do that for you. They can help arrange for a telemedicine visit that can be done at home as well. ### Dressing and Activities of Daily Living If you are not able to get to your senior parent’s home first thing in the morning because you have kids that you need to take to school or a job that you need to get to, a care provider can be there. They can help your senior parent get showered, shave, brush their teeth, comb their hair, and get dressed. ### Transferring Seniors with Alzheimer’s may have trouble getting in and out of bed because they have mobility challenges, health problems, or they no longer understand how to get out of bed. Alzheimer’s care providers are trained in safe methods of helping seniors of all shapes and sizes safely get up and get moving in the morning or get into bed at night. ### Keeping Seniors Safe at Home Keeping a senior parent with Alzheimer’s safe at home can feel like a full-time job. Trying to prevent them from wandering alone, keeping them from falling, and preventing accidents like a fire from the stove being turned on or a flood from the faucets being turned on can be exhausting. Alzheimer’s care can keep your senior parent safe at home while you take care of your needs like getting a haircut, going to a medical appointment, going shopping, or just getting a good night’s sleep. ##### If you or an aging loved one is considering [**Alzheimer’s Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/dementia-care/) in [**Joplin, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care provides exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS, and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Here are some other tips to prevent loneliness. **Content:** If you live far away from a senior parent, the holidays can be a tough time for both of you. Seniors who live alone have a tendency to be lonely, and the holiday season can make that loneliness feel more intense. The holidays can trigger depression and anxiety in seniors who are grieving the loss of friends, family, or a spouse. And if you can’t visit your senior parent during the holidays, they may struggle with feelings of worthlessness, loneliness, and sadness during the time of the year when they should be the happiest. [**Companion care at home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) can really help seniors during the holiday season. Companion care provides consistent emotional support for seniors who spend a lot of time alone. If you can’t be with your senior parent, a companion can be there to take your senior parent shopping, go out to lunch or dinner with them, and do other fun holiday activities like going to see the decorated store windows. ##### In addition to [**companion care at home,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) some things that can help your senior parent feel less lonely during the holidays are: ### Hosting Parties If your senior parent has a hard time getting out or they don’t like to go out in the winter weather, suggest that they have cocktail hour, a crafting party, or some other holiday social events. With help from home care, seniors can enjoy hosting holiday events for friends, neighbors, and any family members that live nearby. ### Decking the Halls Holiday decorations can lift a senior’s spirits and spread holiday cheer so get out those boxes of holiday decorations, put up a tree, and deck those halls. Companion care can help your parent decorate the house so they feel more festive and ready for the holidays. ### Join Senior Centers or Clubs Getting together with other seniors can provide valuable social interaction for a senior parent. And since many seniors are alone during the holiday season it gives your senior parent lots of new friends who are in the same boat so they can enjoy the holidays together. ### Video Chat Video chatting is a fun way to spend time with a senior parent if you live far away. Watch holiday movies together, talk and hang out, or even play games together on video chat to enjoy as much time as you can with your senior parent. ### Find Community Celebrations to Enjoy Many communities organize holiday celebrations, parades, and events. Encourage your senior parent to attend community and neighborhood events with their companion so they don’t miss the fun of the holidays. ### Participate in Holiday Classes Check with local colleges and community centers to see if they have holiday-themed workshops or classes. Whether it’s crafting, cooking, or learning a new skill, these activities provide opportunities for seniors to meet people with similar interests and stay engaged during the holiday season. ### Arrange Transportation Many seniors don’t drive, or don’t drive during the winter. If you want to help your senior parent get out and enjoy all the holiday events, arrange transportation or companion care at home for them. Then they will be able to go to the mall to shop, drive through Christmas light displays, and enjoy all kinds of holiday activities without any worries about transportation or driving. ##### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [**Companion Care at Home**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care/) in [**Joplin, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/), please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 ##### Adelmo Family Care, providing exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

However, many seniors think that diet and exercise is okay to put in the back of their mind, because they don’t see the importance during their final stage of life. However, that is simply not true especially if they have diabetes. The truth is diabetes needs management from a doctor. Through diet and exercise you can help improve your overall health and battle with diabetes. You should never stop listening to the doctor and taking the right medication but no matter what age you are you should always focus on diet and exercise. ### Let’s Define Diet and Exercise Many people think of a diet as something that has to be restrictive and usually similar to a fad diet. However, that’s not what you should do! Fad diets do not last, think about keto diets or 800 calorie a day diets. These fads aren’t always the right choice for your body. When you hear the word “diet” you should think about the food you consume every day. You should be eating a well-rounded diet within a good calorie range for you to maintain a healthy weight. This does not mean you have to eat more or less of something else, it just means you have to make conscious choices when it comes to food. When you think of exercise, you may think of running or heavy weight lifting. This isn’t always good for a senior’s body and it may be too intimidating for them to think about. Exercise is physical activity that seniors can do that is planned, structured, and repetitive. The goal is to improve physical health. It can encompass a wide range of activities. Activities such as cardiovascular exercises like walking or swimming to strength training and flexibility routines. All of these contribute to better health and overall well-being. If your senior doesn’t know where to begin, ask a doctor! They will help your loved one find the best workouts to help manage their diabetes. ### Can Diet and Exercise Really Help Diabetes? Yes, diet and exercise can be highly effective in managing and even preventing type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet that includes whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats can help regulate blood sugar levels. Regular exercise improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, enabling better glucose control. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It can also help those with diabetes better manage their condition. ### Hire Home Care Once your elderly mom or dad finds out what they need to be doing at home to manage their diabetes it can still be hard to make the changes. One of the best things you can do for your elderly parents is to hire [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) to help them implement changes and create a new routine. This means your loved one has someone to remind them what they can and cannot eat, when to exercise, what exercises they can do, and much more. They are the ultimate professional to have at home while your loved one chooses to age in place. ##### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Duquesne, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 Adelmo Family Care, providing exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

They might have partial dentures to fill in some of those spots where they no longer have teeth or they might have a complete set for all of the top and bottom teeth. While dentures help restore your loved one’s smile to what it used to be, their more important purpose is to make sure your loved one can eat the foods she wants to eat, safely and comfortably. If your loved one struggles with dentures that don’t seem to be able to stay in while laughing, talking, or trying to enjoy some of her meal, there are steps you can take to help her dentures stay in place. Some of these she can do on her own, and some might require a little help from her **personal care at home** provider before she starts the day (or as she ends the day). ### Here are five easy steps to keep your loved one’s smile shining bright. 1. Clean those dentures every day. Cleaning her dentures not only makes them sparkle and shine, it will also help with keeping them in place throughout the day because the adhesives will adhere better (we’ll talk about them on the next point). Your loved one’s personal care at home provider can help with reminders about cleaning the dentures or even help with cleaning them daily. 2. Use the right adhesives. Adhesives come in several forms – powders, creams, and liquids. Finding the right one for your loved one is key. Her personal care at home provider can add different ones to the shopping list to try out or your loved one can check with her dentist to see if they have samples to test. Just remind your loved one not to use too much or she might have trouble removing her dentures at the end of the day. 3. Adjust speaking and eating habits slowly. At first, it may take a bit of getting used to, so if your loved one has newer dentures, have her start slowly, concentrating on her speech and eating, making sure she’s not causing her dentures to come loose in the process. Chewing the food evenly on both sides of the mouth can also help keep those dentures in place. 4. Take them out at night. Your loved one’s jaws need a bit of respite from holding in those dentures all day so taking them out at night will help her jaw rest and be ready for the next day. It’ll make sure her jaw doesn’t get too tired and thus more accidents happen. 5. Soak the dentures in warm water. Each night, your loved one should soak her dentures, not just place them on the nightstand. If her personal care at home provider helps her get ready for bed at night, have them place her dentures in warm water – never too hot or too cold. A nice warm soak each night will help her dentures maintain their shape and fit. Following these simple tips can help your loved one’s dentures remain in good shape and keep their fit, thus keeping them in her mouth when she talks and eats. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering personal care at home in [Neosho](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at [(417) 206-4576](tel:4172064576).** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

However, that does not mean they should give up focusing on eating a healthy, well-rounded diet. Unfortunately, many seniors don’t know what to eat or can’t cook like they used to, so they gravitate towards packaged, unhealthy foods and frozen meals. They are convenient, portioned, and easy to heat up. These frozen meals make it seem like they don’t have to cook for health and make it seem like aging in place is so easy now. Well, aging in place is easier than ever before, but it isn’t because of the convenience of packaged foods. It’s because there are now more care options for seniors who want to age in place. With the help of **home care assistance**, a senior can get meals prepared in advance, companionship, and someone who can help them create a routine. This is why more and more seniors are choosing to age in place. Here are some tips that home care assistance or even adult children caring for their parents can use for preparing meals in advance. ### Embrace Cereal/Protein Bars Protein and cereal bars may be better when they come from the store. However, you can easily prepare a giant homemade batch in under a half an hour. Like the kind from the store, they will be nutrient-dense, satisfy a senior’s hunger, are easy to grab, and are delicious to snack on. The difference? Homemade bars are filled with less preservatives and chemicals, making it better for seniors. They are just as convenient as the kind from the store, but they are better, fresher, and even more budget-friendly for your seniors. Come up with an ingredient list and send your loved one shopping so you can help them make this yummy treat when they get back. ### Focus on Protein If you’ve ever heard that protein is your body’s building block, this is because it’s true. A senior should eat enough protein every day. If you are unsure how much protein a senior should be eating, it’s time to go to the doctor to figure it out. Once you know how much your loved one should eat, focus on it. You can make things like hard-boiled eggs in advance, which go great on salad, or even bake a chicken to eat all week long. If your senior likes yogurt, this is something that you can buy from the store that is relatively healthy regarding packaged foods. ### Sneak In Soups Although this tip is harder to do in the summer when it’s brutally hot, you should always sneak in soups when possible. Certain types of cold soups can be prepared and served throughout the week, making a good summer meal. On the other hand, plenty of hot soup recipes go great in the fall or winter. These can be made in advance and even frozen until the senior is ready to pop it on the stove to melt. It’s time to find out their favorite soup and make a few bags to freeze! This will be super easy for a senior later on. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering home care assistance in [Jasper County](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at [(417) 206-4576](tel:4172064576).** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

They need to maintain a healthy weight to help them age in place for longer. Maintaining weight is important for seniors as it can help prevent or manage chronic conditions, improve overall mobility, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance their quality of life. If they are obese, they run the risk of developing several health conditions that can be fatal, and if they are underweight, it can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of malnutrition and frailty, impair wound healing, and lead to a higher susceptibility to illness and complications. This is why it is crucial to maintain a healthy weight for their age and height. Here are a few of the best ways to maintain weight. ### Eat Frequently Many seniors are used to eating three square meals a day, but they may be too large or unable to eat it all at once. Instead of eating three big meals, encourage snacking throughout the day. Sometimes smaller meals more often can help a senior eat their required calories throughout the day. It can be easier to maintain a healthy weight this way, and you can easily keep track of calorie counting, or **home care assistance** can help keep a chart with food and calories. Home care assistance can help a senior choose nutrient-dense foods to help increase a healthy amount of calories. ### Choose Fun Activities When a senior looks forward to the activity, they will be more likely to do it. This means choosing something like walking in nature, going to the gym with a friend, or finding a class with other seniors. All of these can be enjoyable activities for your seniors to choose from and will help them maintain a healthy weight and keep off anything extra. Seniors should aim to move for at least thirty minutes every day. The more they move, the healthier they will be and the more independent they will stay. ### Switch Out Processed Foods No one should be eating tons of processed foods; it’s bad for your health. Seniors may gravitate towards processed foods because they are easy to heat up and eat throughout the day. However, home care assistance can help a senior find foods that are fresh, easy to eat, and just as quick. Sometimes seniors just need extra help with food prep. ### Use Herbs Instead of Salt Many people love extra salt, but it isn’t the healthiest option. Instead of adding more salt to a meal, a senior should opt for herbs and spices. This can help reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Home care assistance can help watch how much a senior consumes when it comes to sodium. ### Focus on Portion Size A senior should be focusing on portion size. If they eat several times a day, they should be focused on smaller but nutrient-dense foods. Portion size is one of the best ways to control someone’s weight without being too focused or stressing about weight. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering home care assistance in [Newton County](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at [(417) 206-4576](tel:4172064576).** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

When a senior is less mobile, they may not be able to dress independently, bathe, or even eat without help. It’s important never to judge your loved one and help where it’s needed or find the right personal care at home for them. Here are a few easy ways that you can truly support your loved one who is having problems with mobility: ### Clean The House One of the easiest ways to help your loved one move around is by ensuring there is nothing that can cause them to fall or hinder their movement. Your loved one may be unable to clear a path in their house independently because bending may become too challenging. If this happens, their homes can be cluttered, and this can lead to danger for your senior loved ones. Help them by moving things in rooms they don’t use or encourage them to get rid of things they do not need. Their home should be comfortable but not cluttered. Keep everything they need to feel relaxed but get rid of anything taking up too much space. ### Find The Right Help Many devices can now help your loved one stay mobile. Your senior loved one may be able to find the right **personal care at home**, but if they want to remain as independent as possible, they should adopt the right tools. They may be able to find wheelchairs to help move them around the house or even outside of the house. A cane may help your senior by providing support where necessary. If you find one that you think may work, you may have to help your senior learn to use it. ### Understand How to Increase Mobility Your senior loved one may hesitate to pick up help from a tool or device because they may feel like their bodies are failing them. It is important to acknowledge feelings while encouraging them to stay as mobile as possible, even with the help of an aid or personal care at home. Encourage them to do things that will help increase their mobility, like working out. If your senior is unsure what exercises they should be doing, encourage them to go to a professional like a physical therapist who can help them. ### Let Them Do What They Can When your senior has a hard time being mobile, it can be easy to try and do everything for them. However, you should continue to let them do the things they are still capable of doing, even if it takes them longer to accomplish something. The more they can do on their own, the higher their quality of life will be, the more independent they can stay, and the happier they will be. They may not want to rely on **personal care at home** for everything, which is okay; it is healthy to want to do things on their own. ### If you or an aging loved-one is considering **Personal Care at Home** in **[Webb City, MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/)** please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Social media isn’t just for young people, which is a common misunderstanding. Older people can also get a lot out of using these platforms. However, they may need assistance getting going or troubleshooting along the way. They can gain this assistance from loved ones and the **senior home care** team to connect properly and avoid pitfalls. Consider the following ways that social media can be a benefit for seniors. ### Connection and Communication Social media is a great way for seniors to stay in touch with friends, family, and coworkers, no matter how far away they live. This can help them feel less alone and isolated, especially if they live alone or can’t get together in person very often. ### Rekindling Relationships Seniors can use social media to get in touch with old friends, coworkers, and distant cousins. This can give them a sense of nostalgia and strengthen relationships that may have grown weak over time. ### Sharing Life Moments Seniors can share their life stories, accomplishments, and events with their network through social media. This can be especially important if their peers support, acknowledge, and encourage them. ### Cognitive Stimulation Using social media makes seniors more likely to learn and adapt to new technologies, which boosts their brainpower. Learning how to move around platforms, use different tools, and have conversations online helps keep their minds active and flexible. ### Access to Information Seniors can use social media to find news, information, and tools that are relevant to their interests and needs. Platforms can be used to find educational material, health tips, community events, and more. Loved ones and **senior home care** can help them narrow down the most beneficial sites. Also, seniors can find and join online groups that are based on their hobbies, interests, and passions. This allows them to meet people like them, share their experiences, and learn from others. ### Increased Bonding Social media bridges the gap between generations by letting grandparents talk to and keep up with their grandkids even if they live far away. Sharing pictures, videos, and news can help make ties stronger. ### Support Networks Online support groups and boards can help seniors with health problems or need to care for others. These sites let them share tips, talk about their own experiences, and give each other emotional support. Retired seniors who want to give back to their communities may be interested in volunteer opportunities they find through these support networks. ### Mental and Emotional Health Using social media regularly can help seniors’ mental and emotional health by giving them a sense of belonging, purpose, and social involvement. This socialization and increased emotional health also occur when they have one on one contact with their senior home care team. Social media allows seniors to stay in touch with friends, keep their minds busy, and feel emotionally fulfilled. But they should be careful when using these platforms and make sure they understand the privacy settings and possible security risks. Seniors can get the most out of social media if they have the right help and know how to use it. With loved ones and senior home care by their side, they get the connectivity and support they need. ### If you or an aging loved-one is considering **Senior Home Care** in [**Carl Junction, MO**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Even with help from home care, you will want to have a plan set up. **Content:** Many people love the holidays, but if you are caring for a senior mom or dad, you will want to have a care plan set up in advance. That can seem like a challenge, especially if you have never had to care for an aging parent before. One of the best things you can do is hire [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) to help during this time of year, but even with the extra help from home care, you will want to have a plan set up. Here are some of the best things to consider regarding a care plan during the holiday season. ### Stick to Their Diet If a doctor has given them a special diet or things they must eat, your loved one’s should always stick to it. This is the time of year when diets are super hard to stick to. That being said, you should encourage healthy eating between the holiday meals. This doesn’t mean your mom or dad can’t enjoy cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, but it does mean they should not be eating a cinnamon roll every single day during December. If your loved one needs help cooking or preparing food for the upcoming week, this is something that home care can help them with. They will not only help your loved one keep their fridge stocked full of healthy options, but they will ensure there are meals prepared for them, too. This can make it easier to stick to a diet, even during the holidays. But don’t forget your loved one can still enjoy the holiday food, just not every day! Always have a care plan for food and nutrition. ### Keep Working Out It can be so hard to stay motivated during the holiday season. Chances are the temperatures have dropped, and your loved one wants to stay cozy inside. That makes total sense. However, your loved one should still be sticking to their exercise plan, and this is something that you and [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) can encourage them to do. Whether they do it at home or inside a warm gym, it doesn’t matter as long as they keep doing it! One of the best things you can do is to make it a family tradition. Go out on Thanksgiving and walk a 5K together in the morning! This is a great way to bond with your loved one while supporting their health. ### Talk About Presents Openly Many seniors want to give things to their grandchildren, but it can cause financial stress on them. Make sure you have an open and honest conversation about gift-giving. Encourage small items that won’t cause stress on your loved one. This will help set the tone for Christmas day, and no one will be disappointed since you already talked beforehand. ### Pay Attention to Decor You may love to decorate for the holidays, and that is acceptable. However, too many lights or things on the ground can cause your loved one to trip and fall. Always ensure that the walkways are clear and the main areas your senior mom or dad goes to are also clear of any hazards. Try keeping the decor to one specific area. ### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [**Home Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) in [**Carthage, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 ### Adelmo Family Care, providing exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Elder care can help handle risk factors. **Content:** Mini strokes, also called transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), are one of the many problems that affect older people. They are incredibly sneaky and could be very dangerous, which is why it’s vital for seniors to have a consistent support system from their loved ones and [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/services/). Continue reading to learn what mini strokes are, how they affect older people, and why it’s essential to know the signs and get them right away. #### What Are Mini Strokes A TIA or mini stroke is a brief stop in the flow of blood to the brain. TIAs usually only last a few minutes and don’t cause lasting brain damage, which is the main difference between them and a full-blown stroke. But they shouldn’t be taken lightly because they are often signs that a bigger stroke is coming. #### How Do Mini Strokes Affect the Older Generation? With age, the blood vessels tend to get smaller and less flexible. This makes clots or blockages more likely, which can lead to TIAs. This is why the risk of mini strokes is greater in seniors. When TIAs happen, the [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/services/) team and loved ones might see their effects in the following ways: ### Cognitive Impairment Small strokes can sometimes have slight and sometimes not-so-subtle effects on cognitive functioning. Memory loss, confusion, trouble solving problems, and trouble focusing are all typical signs that something has happened. These changes in the brain can have an effect on daily life and the quality of life. ### Physical Problems TIAs can make the face, arms, or legs weak, numb, or tingly. This can make it hard for older people to do simple things like walk, dress, or eat. It is especially hard if they already have mobility issues. ### Speech Problems A mini stroke can cause speech problems, like slurred speech or trouble finding words, which can make it hard for older people to communicate. ### Emotional Effects It can be hard for older people to deal with the emotional effects of a small stroke, particularly as the fear of a larger stroke increases. Having someone in the home consistently, such as [**elder care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/services/), can help seniors not only process these emotions but also monitor for other changes. As mentioned, there is a strong link between mini strokes and a higher risk of a full-blown stroke, which may be the most worrisome thing about mini strokes. About one-third of people who have a TIA will have a major stroke within a year if they don’t get the help they need from doctors and control their risk factors. #### Pay Attention to the Early Warning Signs Both older people and their support team need to be aware of the signs of small strokes. Some common signs are: - **Weakness or numbness that happens all of a sudden, especially on one side of the body** - **Slurred words or sudden trouble speaking** - **One or both eyes have sudden trouble seeing** - **Sudden dizziness or loss of balance** - **Sudden headaches** If a loved one has any of these signs, it is very important for them to see a doctor right away. Quick evaluation and treatment can reduce the chance of a larger stroke and lessen the effects of a mini stroke. Changes in lifestyle, like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and learning how to deal with stress, are very important for lowering the risk of strokes, mini or larger. The elder care team and loved ones can help seniors handle risk factors and live healthier so they can have a better quality of life as they age. ### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [**Elder Care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/services/) in [**Webb City, MO,**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 ### Adelmo Family Care, providing exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

If there’s a heatwave coming up, it’s time to address your dad’s care needs as he ages at home. You don’t live nearby, so you can’t check in to make sure his home is cool and that he’s not risking his safety to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. ### What Steps Help Him Stay Cool? ![Home Care Assistance Joplin, MO: Summer Safety ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/bigstock-Cool-seniors-acting-youtful-by-240951769-1-300x212.jpg)Home Care Assistance Joplin, MO: Summer SafetyWhen it’s hot outside, your dad needs to watch how warm it is inside. If he goes outside to work in his gardens, get the mail, or go for a walk, he has to be careful that he doesn’t get too hot or overexert himself. As hot weather moves in, a healthy adult may need two weeks before their body adjusts to the hotter temperatures. In some areas, it can go from snow to heat and humidity in a matter of days. It makes it hard for the body to adjust, and that may cause your dad to push himself more than he should. If he wants to go outside for a walk or to work in his garden, he should do it in the early morning before the sun is high in the sky. Or, he could wait until after dinner when the sun is starting to set. Those will be the cooler times of the day. For the rest of the day, he should stay inside in the air conditioning. If he doesn’t have AC, he needs to use a fan. Make sure he drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated. If he’s getting warm, a cool shower will help. Even better, have him dampen a t-shirt in the sink and wear that while it evaporates. It keeps the skin cooler. ### What Can Caregivers Do to Help? Did you know that caregivers can be an excellent tool in making sure your dad stays cool? They can track how often he’s drinking water to make sure he stays hydrated. They’ll offer foods that have a high water content, such as grapes, oranges, and melon. His caregivers can watch that he limits his time outside. If he has a pool, he has a caregiver to swim with and ensure he’s following safety rules while he’s in his pool. If he has high blood pressure, his blood pressure may increase in the heat and humidity. His caregiver makes sure he’s taking precautions to monitor it and take precautions if it’s increasing. Suppose your dad’s caregiver arrives and finds his AC isn’t working. His aide can call a repair person or contact you to find out what to do next. If it’s best to take your dad out of his home to an air-conditioned mall or library until it’s fixed, the caregiver takes him there. How do you schedule home care assistance services? It’s easy. Go online and fill out a form or call the toll-free number to get answers to your questions and learn more about prices. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Home Care Assistance in Joplin, MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** Sources: https://uihc.org/health-topics/acclimatization-adjusting-temperature - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Home Care Assistance Joplin MO, Summer Safety --- ### [How Home Care Uses Technology to Help Seniors Have Healthier Eyesight](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/how-home-care-uses-technology-to-help-seniors-have-healthier-eyesight/) **Published:** June 8, 2023 **Author:** John Good **Content:** ![Eyesight and Technology: Home Care Jasper County MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/bigstock-Woman-giving-senior-woman-intr-54610931-1-1-300x200.jpg)Eyesight and Technology: Home Care Jasper County MOTechnology has revolutionized many aspects of healthcare, including senior eye health. With the help of technological advancements, seniors can now access tools and resources that promote good eye health and facilitate early detection of eye conditions. Having help from **home care** professionals can make using these tools and devices much easier as well. Seniors who are concerned about their vision health have many more options now than they might have had even a few years ago. ### Blue-Light Filtering Glasses Blue-light filtering glasses have gained popularity in recent years primarily due to the increased use of digital devices. These glasses help protect seniors’ eyes from harmful blue light emitted by screens, reducing the risk of eye strain and potential long-term damage. **Home care** professionals can educate seniors on the benefits of blue-light filtering glasses and assist them in remembering to wear the appropriate eyewear. They can also help seniors adjust their device settings to minimize blue light exposure and promote healthy eye habits when using digital devices. ### Telemedicine Appointments Telemedicine has revolutionized healthcare delivery, especially for aging adults. Seniors can now have virtual consultations with medical professionals from the comfort of their own homes. Telemedicine appointments allow for timely access to health care services, reducing the need for seniors to drive anywhere for routine check-ups or consultations. Home care providers can help seniors set up and navigate telemedicine platforms, ensuring they can connect with medical professionals seamlessly. This convenient and accessible approach encourages seniors to prioritize their health and seek timely professional guidance when needed. General health can have a huge impact on eye health, making this an even more important solution for aging adults. ### Mobile Eye Health Apps Mobile apps dedicated to eye health can be valuable tools for seniors as well. These apps offer various features, such as reminders for medication or eye drops, eye exercises to improve vision and reduce eye strain, and monitoring tools to track visual acuity changes. **Home care** professionals can help seniors select reliable eye health apps and provide guidance on their proper usage. They can assist seniors in understanding the app’s features, setting up reminders, and ensuring consistent engagement with the app for optimal eye health management. ### Assistive Devices and Magnification Tools Technological advancements have led to the development of assistive devices and magnification tools that aid seniors with low vision or age-related eye conditions. **Home care** providers can assist seniors in accessing and utilizing these devices effectively. Examples could include handheld magnifiers, digital magnifiers, screen readers, and voice-controlled smart devices. By introducing and training seniors in the use of these assistive technologies, home care professionals empower seniors to maintain their independence and engage in activities they enjoy, despite visual challenges. Technology plays a vital role in senior health, but also specifically eye health, offering tools and resources that promote good vision and facilitate timely access to eye care. **Home care** professionals can support seniors in utilizing these technologies effectively, optimizing their eye health and overall well-being while also being there to support them in other ways with tasks that require additional assistance. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Home Care in [Jasper County](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Talk to an advisor about your mom's care needs. **Content:** ![Companion Care at Home](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/bigstock-Senior-Male-Nutritionist-Docto-475624271-1-300x200.jpg)After menopause, your mom’s nutrition needs shift. If she hasn’t reconsidered her weekly menu and nutritional needs, it’s worth talking to her about it. Here are some of the nutrients that older women do not get enough of. ### Antioxidants Vitamins A and C are commonly low in older women and are two of the antioxidants that boost cell health. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables can help increase antioxidant intake. If your mom will drink a smoothie for breakfast or a snack, blend a cup of almond milk with a cup of frozen berries. Add a banana for sweetness. That’s two servings of fruit in one beverage. It also adds some calcium, which is another nutrient your mom may not be getting enough of. ### Calcium and Vitamin D Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health. After menopause, estrogen diminishes, and that impacts bone strength. Osteopenia is common and if it’s ignored, it can progress to osteoporosis. She should have her bone density checked. If she is found to have thinning bones, she needs to address it as it increases her risk of a bone fracture in a fall or if she drops something on her foot. Her doctor may recommend calcium supplements or to have your mom work with a dietitian. Your mom needs to make sure she’s getting enough calcium and vitamin D. She’ll find them in enriched cereals and juices, milk and dairy products, kale, and canned sardines packed in oil. ### Protein Protein is essential for muscle health. If your mom isn’t getting enough, which is common in older adults, her muscles may not heal well or have the same amount of strength as when she was younger. The good news is that protein is in many items. It’s in meats, nuts, tofu, and dairy. Almonds and pistachios are especially high in protein. You could make your mom a pistachio-crusted boneless chicken thigh or fish filet and improve her protein intake. ### Vitamin B-12 Vitamin B-12 plays an important role in developing healthy red blood cells. It’s found in meats, including poultry, dairy, and fish. Vitamin B-12 is also in fortified cereals and juices. A lack of vitamin B-12 can cause anemia, nerve issues, weakened muscles, and mood imbalances. If your mom is low on B-12, it’s something dietary changes can address. **Companion care at home** helps your mom with meals. She’ll have a caregiver working with her each week to plan a menu and shop for missing ingredients. If she cannot leave her home, her caregiver can shop for her or order a delivery. Her caregiver also cooks meals and cleans up the kitchen after your mom eats. It’s easy to schedule companion care at home services. Talk to an advisor about your mom’s care needs. Go over prices and schedules and arrange services. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering companion care at home in [Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at [(417) 206-4576](tel:4172064576).** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Even if your loved one has never struggled with any type of mental health disorder for 70 years, health issues or life changes may cause one to appear, making daily living for your loved one a struggle. Many elderly individuals suffer from some traumatic life events from losing a beloved spouse of decades, having to give up most of their independence, or developing a life-threatening or chronic disease that now affects their everyday life. All of these situations can cause your loved one to develop a mental health disorder such as depression or anxiety. Some of the symptoms of mental health disorders are the same for all ages, but some are unique to seniors and look quite different than those of a younger person. If you’re not living with or near your aging loved one, you may not even notice them right away. It might be a trusted **senior home care** provider who first calls attention to them. Here are some common symptoms of mental disorders in older adults. Your loved one may struggle with one or many of them if he is battling a disorder. ### Sleeping issues It can be sleeping too much or not being able to sleep at all, but sleeping patterns are often affected in those with mental disorders. Your loved one may chalk it up to getting old, but if his sleeping patterns are affecting his daily life and finding joy in it, it might be caused by a mental disorder. ### Eating issues Eating is much the same as sleeping when it comes to how it’s affected by depression or anxiety. Your senior home care provider might note that your loved one just pushes the food around his plate and doesn’t eat hardly anything at all during meals. Or it could be the opposite and your loved one is trying to find comfort in food and overeating. ### Mood issues Many people think of constant crying or sadness when depressed but some elderly people become angry when depressed. Others might stop showing any type of emotion at all and seem completely emotionless. If your senior home care provider mentions that previous outings or visits that used to bring your loved one joy seem to fall flat now, it could be the depression or anxiety that has caused your loved one to be unable to find the joy that was once so easily attainable. ### Physical issues Mental health disorders often have physical health issues that come along for the ride. Instead of telling you or his senior home care provider that he’s sad, your loved one might complain of constant stomach problems or headaches that don’t leave. He might feel achy and tired all of the time. While all of these might have a physical reason, all of them can also occur with mental health disorders. If you see any of these symptoms in your loved one, getting help as soon as possible will help him heal and get onto the road of recovery where his mental health is in a better spot and he can enjoy life again. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering senior home care in [Webb City](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at [(417) 206-4576](tel:4172064576).** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

For seniors, changes to medicine, including adding or deleting prescriptions, can cause frustration. A professional **in-home care** person can assist with medication issues and ensure seniors maintain their schedule for optimum health and well-being. ### Medications Work Differently as Changes in the Body Occur How a medicine is absorbed, utilized by the body, and excreted can all be impacted by aging. Some medications may linger longer if changes make it harder for the body to break them down or eliminate them from the system. In some cases, seniors could require a lesser drug dosage or an alternative, safer drug. Medical professionals may start with a lesser dose and gradually increase it until they get the desired effect or prevent side effects. While this is good, it can be challenging for seniors to manage the changes, especially if they are used to how things were. Working with the medical provider and an **in-home care** member can help keep things on track. ### Multiple Medical Conditions May Increase Difficulty in Finding the Right Medication Seniors frequently have several medical issues. This could influence how drugs behave within the body. Medicines that are prescribed to treat one ailment may also worsen another one. For instance, medications to address other disorders may exacerbate symptoms in seniors with memory issues. All healthcare professionals who prescribe medication must know all the medical conditions. In this scenario, assistance from **home care** can be beneficial, especially when visits are virtual, allowing more communication. Additionally, medical providers need to know what side effects have occurred. These steps won’t be missed with proper medication management in the home. ### What Seniors Eat or Drink May Cause Complications With Medications Food, beverages, supplements, and medications that seniors consume concurrently may impact their medication. Some antibiotics do not absorb effectively when consumed with calcium, magnesium, or iron-containing foods, beverages, or medications. As calcium and iron are sometimes supplements that seniors take, this can cause issues. Additionally, some foods, like grapefruit juice, can alter how some medicines are metabolized. It is good for seniors and their **in-home care** support team to know what foods and beverages may cause issues and plan accordingly. ### Steps to Take to Minimize Medication Issues With Seniors **In-home care** providers can check the *Beers List for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults* to assess if prescribed medications are on the list. Providers can then speak with seniors about possible issues and work with the medical team to ensure proper safety. Seniors should also have an updated list of medications, both prescription and non-prescription, and supplements they take to minimize possible issues. Supplements may be forgotten as they’re not considered medication, but they have just as much chance to interact with medication as anything else. When seniors are prescribed a large number of medications, it can be difficult to maintain a consistent schedule. An **in-home care** provider can work with seniors to develop a plan that is easy to follow, thus reducing issues that might arise. Helping eliminate medication issues that seniors might have is only one area where in-home care providers can assist. As medications change, diet regulations may also change. Having someone in the home can help seniors meal plan appropriately and assist with shopping and cooking when needed. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering In-Home Care in [Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** [Source 1](https://betterhealthwhileaging.net/6-medication-problems-aging/) / [Source 2](https://dailycaring.com/6-common-medication-problems-in-seniors-and-6-ways-to-solve-them/) / [Source 3](https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/geriatrics/drug-therapy-in-older-adults/drug-related-problems-in-older-adults#:~:text=Drug%2Drelated%20problems%20are%20common,%2C%20nonadherence%2C%20and%20drug%20interactions.) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** In-Home Care, Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** In-Home Care, In-Home Care Joplin MO, Senior Medication --- ### [Detect Early Signs of Dementia with Personal Care at Home](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/detect-early-signs-of-dementia-with-personal-care-at-home/) **Published:** April 7, 2023 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** With personal care at home, loved ones can be monitored to help provide a better understanding of possible early signs of dementia. **Content:** ![Signs of Dementia: Personal Care at Home Carthage MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/bigstock-Depressed-senior-woman-at-home-259489585-2-1-300x199.jpg)Signs of Dementia: Personal Care at Home Carthage MOPaying attention to the early signs of dementia is critical, but it’s not as easy as it seems. This is due to dementia covering a wide range of conditions, all of which have their own unique symptoms. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, making up at least 60% of dementia cases, per the Centers for Disease Control. To learn more about the early signs of dementia and how **personal care at home** can help, continue reading. ### Memory Loss It’s important to understand that dementia affects each person differently depending on the type and stage. However, memory loss is one of the most common signs to look for. If loved ones notice that seniors are repeating themselves, struggling to find the names of familiar friends or items, it might indicate a deeper problem. The issue with memory loss, and why it might be challenging to know if it is a true sign of dementia, is that all people, regardless of age, are forgetful at different points in their lives. Assessing what’s behind memory loss is key. Could a change in medication be the root cause? Or are seniors under a lot of stress or trying to do too many things at once? Having personal care at home to assist in monitoring these situations is a great way to find a pattern in memory loss and determine if it might be more than simple forgetfulness. ### Confusion With Time of Daily Activities Everyone struggles with the day of the week from time to time, especially now that more people are working from home. If loved ones forget dates or planned activities consistently, this might be more of a concern. Pay attention when seniors struggle to remember things such as scheduled events or dates. Additionally, consider buying them a calendar and writing important events or scheduled activities. This can provide a visual cue for seniors and help decrease frustrations. ### Difficulty With Balance Many people might not realize that dementia can affect other aspects of seniors’ lives and not just their memory. Seniors who struggle with balance or judging distances might be suffering from dementia. This can be significant as seniors are already at risk for falls. A noticeable change in their balance or even dropping things they meant to place on a table due to not judging distance well might be an early sign of dementia. ### Difficulty Finding the Right Words Dementia affects how a person speaks and understands the language. Finding the right words can be difficult for anyone, but consistent struggling that might also affect writing is cause for a deeper look. If loved ones notice seniors having difficulty following conversations or completing sentences when talking or writing, they may need to speak with a medical professional. The addition of **personal care at home** helps loved ones monitor these situations and provide a better understanding of how often they occur. Additionally, if seniors receive a diagnosis of dementia, home care providers can assist with a care plan that ensures they remain safe in their homes and receive everything they need. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Personal Care at Home in [Carthage](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** [Source 1](https://www.cdc.gov/aging/dementia/index.html) / [Source 2](https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/10_signs) / [Source 3](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352013) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Personal Care at Home **Tags:** Dementia, Personal Care at Home, Personal Care at Home Carthage MO --- ### [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) **Published:** May 9, 2023 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** There's a variety of services that senior home care offers to your senior loved one. Here's why they're so important. **Content:** ![Benefits: Senior Home Care Neosho MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/bigstock-smiling-senior-woman-and-carin-48853895-2-1-200x300.jpg)Benefits: Senior Home Care Neosho MOSenior home care services are designed to support your dad as he ages at home. He doesn’t want to downsize, and you don’t want him to risk his emotional, mental, and physical health. Here are seven things to know about **senior home care** and the reasons it’s so important. ### There Are Around 56 Million Older Adults In the U.S. Current estimates are that there are close to 56 million adults aged 65 or older in the U.S. Of those adults 80% have at least two chronic health conditions like heart disease, COPD, kidney disease, and diabetes. ### 41.8 Million Americans Care For an Older Adult More than 41 million Americans are providing care to someone aged 50 or older. Often, those adults in need of care have physical disabilities or mental health disorders that make it hard for them to take care of themselves. ### The Average Age of Family Caregivers is 50 The average age of a family caregiver is 50.1. At that age, the family member is too young to retire and some still have children living at home. These family caregivers are known as sandwich generation caregivers because they’re sandwiched between the care their parents need and the care their children need. ### Commutes of Up to Two Hours Are Common For some family caregivers, their home is between half an hour to two hours from their parent’s home. Adding in the commute time to and from their home can impact their chance to socialize and have fun even more. ### 57% of Unpaid Caregivers Care for a Parent More than half of unpaid caregivers are caring for a parent. Alzheimer’s is one of the leading chronic conditions where care is required, and it can last for upwards of 20 years. ### Women Are More Likely to Provide Care to a Parent When it comes to family caregivers, three out of five are women. Men are less likely to fill that role, though that number has been increasing. ### Caregiver Burnout is a Risk Three out of ten family caregivers have been in that role for five or more years. If a caregiver isn’t taking time for self-care, the odds of burning out are great. Caregiver burnout leaves you feeling drained emotionally, mentally, and physically. The best way to avoid caregiver burnout is by making sure you take days off. Even as your parent’s only caregiver, you need to arrange to have a professional caregiver step in to help while you take a day off. This service is known as respite care. Do you have more questions about **senior home care** services like respite care? Talk to an expert in home care to get answers and learn more about prices and schedules.

They need constant care and support, including medical care, lifestyle modifications, and emotional support. However, you may wonder how you will manage the heart condition of your elderly parent at home due to your busy schedule. **Home care assistance** can benefit seniors with heart disease by providing personalized care and support to help them manage their condition and improve their quality of life. ### Medication Management Seniors with heart disease need ongoing medical care from a healthcare provider specializing in treating heart disease. This care may include medication management, regular check-ups, and diagnostic tests to monitor the condition, which can be confusing and difficult for the elderly. Home care assistance providers can assist the elderly in managing their medications, ensuring they take the right medication at the right time, and monitoring for any adverse effects. ### Monitoring Vital Signs Seniors with heart disease experience certain symptoms from time to time. They need someone who will help them monitor these vital signs. **Home care assistance** providers can monitor seniors’ vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels. This information can be shared with the senior’s healthcare provider, allowing for timely adjustments to their treatment plan. ### Meal Preparation A healthy diet is essential for seniors with heart disease. You need to limit some foods and give certain meals frequently to manage the heart condition and ensure seniors live a quality life. Besides, make sure your elderly is well hydrated. **Home care assistance** can help plan and prepare nutritious meals that are low in sodium and fat and meet the senior’s dietary needs. ### Exercise and Mobility Assistance Regular exercise and companion care at home are crucial for seniors with heart disease. But it is good to ensure they don’t strain so much since this can cause more problems. In-home care providers can help seniors with exercises prescribed by their healthcare provider and assist them with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and walking. Besides, **home care assistance** offers transport services to ensure the elderly move from one place to another without much difficulty. ### Emotional Support Heart disease can be a significant source of stress and anxiety for seniors. Also, staying at home alone can increase agony for older adults. You need to encourage them to talk to friends and relatives to combat this anxiety. They can also join social clubs and social groups to ensure they are more engaged. **Home care assistance** can provide emotional support and companion care at home, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. ### Home Safety Seniors with heart disease may be at increased risk of falls and other accidents. Ensuring that the home is safe and free of hazards can help reduce this risk. This may include installing grab bars, removing tripping hazards, and ensuring there is adequate lighting. **Home care assistance** also offers companion care at home to help prevent some of these accidents from occurring. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Home Care Assistance in [Carl Junction](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** [Source 1](https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/index.htm) / [Source 2](https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/heart-health-and-aging) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Home Care Assistance, Home Care Carl Junction MO **Tags:** Home Care Assistance, Home Care Assistance Carl Junction MO --- ### [Elder Care Can Help Encourage Seniors to Read](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/elder-care-can-help-encourage-seniors-to-read/) **Published:** May 31, 2023 **Author:** John Good **Excerpt:** Your senior loved one's elder care provider can encourage them to read more, which can help increase their physical and mental health. **Content:** ![Reading: Elder Care Newton County MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/bigstock-Senior-Man-Reading-In-Foregrou-354740465-2-1-300x200.jpg)Reading: Elder Care Newton County MOReading is a vital activity for everyone, including seniors. It has numerous benefits, including physical, mental, and emotional. Unfortunately, seniors with vision issues struggle with reading, causing them to miss vital benefits. Having **elder care** in the home can help seniors gain these benefits even when reading is hard. ### Why is Reading Important for Seniors? Reading consistently allows seniors to engage their thoughts and improve their memories while maintaining their cognitive abilities. Beyond that, reading also helps relieve stress and tension by letting seniors get lost in the story. Since storytelling can transport them to different eras, it might also trigger memories of the past, letting them enjoy those moments again. Additionally, since reading is a stress reliever, it is useful for seniors if they have difficulty falling asleep. Reading calms the mind and enhances mental preparedness for sleep. This is essential since improving seniors’ sleep can have a favorable impact on their health and well-being. Reading also helps seniors stay connected with the world around them. When seniors share common interests with others, it gives them a sense of community and belonging. Since socialization is a key factor in successful aging in place, finding those connections is crucial. Seniors can interact with people with similar reading interests in various settings, including book clubs and online discussion forums. Elder care providers in the home can also interact with seniors regarding their reading likes and dislikes to encourage consistent conversation. It’s also the kind of activity that can be done independently, so it’s a great way for seniors to keep their independence while still having meaningful interactions with the world around them. ### Alternative Reading Tips for Seniors Who Have Difficulty Reading Thanks to technology, reading is an activity that all seniors can enjoy. The following suggestions might help seniors with vision issues or other difficulties create a reading routine. - Books with Large Print: Books with large print contain larger typefaces, making them easier to read for seniors with vision issues. Local libraries, bookstores, and online shops all carry large-print books. - Books on tape: Seniors who have trouble reading written material may enjoy listening to books on tape instead. Listening to their preferred books on audio allows seniors to experience the delight of reading without subjecting their eyes to the strain of reading. - E-books: E-books allow seniors to change font size and background color, making it more comfortable for them to read. E-books can be read on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. - Screen readers: Seniors can utilize software that reads the material on a computer screen out loud. This software is very helpful for seniors who use computers for reading purposes. Reading is an important activity for seniors as it helps them retain their cognitive functioning, lower their stress levels, enhance the quality of their sleep, and remain connected to the world around them. Not only that, but reading provides seniors with a lot of entertainment. Loved ones and **elder care** providers can encourage seniors to encourage or increase their reading and reap all the benefits of this fabulous habit. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Elder Care in [Newton County](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** [Source 1](https://dailycaring.com/stimulate-senior-minds-with-books-on-tape/) / [Source 2](https://www.lifeline.com/blog/5-proven-benefits-of-reading-for-seniors/#:~:text=Seniors%20who%20read%20often%20enjoy,delaying%20the%20onset%20of%20dementia.) / [Source 3](https://seniorslifestylemag.com/health-well-being/benefits-of-reading-for-seniors/) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Seniors who live in two story homes or homes that are split and have stairs need to be very cautious so that they don’t end up falling on the stairs. When seniors are still sleeping in a second floor bedroom there is a very real danger of them slipping or falling on the stairs when they come downstairs in the morning. Because the stairs are a major fall risk for seniors but it’s not possible to get rid of them seniors and their families should do these things to make the stairs safer for seniors: ### **Get Home Care Assistance** ![Home Care Assistance Webb City, MO: Stair Safety ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/senior-stair-lifts-1-300x196.jpg)Home Care Assistance Webb City, MO: Stair SafetyWith home care assistance seniors will have someone in the house to help them go up and down the stairs safely. This is important for seniors who live alone and are navigating stairs multiple times each day. Home care assistance can also lower the number of times seniors have to go up and down the stairs by doing things like laundry and housework so that seniors don’t have to constantly be going from downstairs to upstairs and back down again. ### **Put Treads On The Stairs** If the stairs in the house have a runner on them that runner should be taken off the stairs so that your senior loved one doesn’t trip it. Whether the stairs are bare wood or have full carpet on them there should be anti-slip treads placed on each stair. The anti-slip treads will give seniors more traction on the stairs and help them avoid slipping or falling down the stairs even if they have slippers or shoes without much traction on. Treads can be purchased at any big box store and they are easy to put on. ### **Light Them Up** One of the best things to do if your senior loved one has stairs in the house is make sure they can see the stairs. Adding floor level lighting is a fantastic way to improve stair safety. And it’s really easy to do. LED rope lights can be tacked along the wall just above the floor or run along each stair. LED battery operated rope lights are just one option. There are other lighting options too that don’t require an outlet or any wiring. Battery lights last for a long time and the batteries can be changed by a home care provider when they start to burn out. ### **Consider a Chair Lift** If your senior loved one has had a hip or knee replacement, or is going to need one in the future, but they want to continue to live in their own home then it might be worth it to invest in a chair lift for the stairs. Chair lifts will safely convey seniors up and down the stairs as they sit in a comfortable and secure chair. Chair lifts are a bit of an investment but they can make the home accessible for many years to come for seniors who have mobility limitations. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Home Care Assistance in Webb City](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Senior Safety **Tags:** Home Care Assistance Webb City MO, Stair Safety Tips --- ### [Companion Care at Home - Treating an Ingrown Toenail](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/companion-care-at-home-treating-an-ingrown-toenail/) **Published:** February 2, 2023 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** An ingrown toenail can happen to anyone, most commonly in seniors due to their limited mobility. Companion care can help treat them! **Content:** ![Helping Seniors with Ingrown Toenails](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bigstock-Female-Caregiver-Caring-For-Se-449823149-1-300x200.jpg)Helping Seniors with Ingrown ToenailsEveryone can get an ingrown toenail occasionally. This painful condition where the toenails begin to grow into the skin causing swelling and discomfort usually happens to the big toe but can happen to any toe. It is more common in senior citizens because of several reasons, but having a companion care at home provider can help. The most common reason is that seniors often are not able to care for their feet anymore due to an inability to reach their feet. Whether it’s arthritis that prevents their hands from holding onto a toenail clipper, a bad back that prevents bending over, eyesight that doesn’t lend to seeing the toenails clearly, or an increase in stomach weight that won’t allow them to reach their toes anymore. Any or all of these may prevent your senior from being able to properly take care of his toes. Another reason is that toenails start to change as a person ages and they may become thicker (making them harder to trim) or may even begin to curl inward, increasing the likelihood of an ingrown toenail. If your loved one has developed an ingrown toenail, they are usually easily treatable at home by yourself or his companion care at home team. Having a companion care at home provider help with toenail care can also help prevent future ingrown toenails from developing. ### Steps to Treat an Ingrown Toenail Keep in mind, if your loved one has diabetes, any ingrown toenails should be treated by his podiatrist to prevent infections. - Soak the foot two to three times a day. Your companion care at home provider can help by providing a warm soapy soak for 15-20 minutes. - After the foot has soaked for the allotted time, use a cotton bud to push the toenail out of the skin fold. - As the nail grows, insert a piece of cotton or dental floss under it to help encourage it to grow around the outside of the skin. The cotton or dental floss should be changed daily. - Have your companion care at home team apply an antibiotic to prevent any infection. Once the toenail has grown out from under the skin, proper trimming of the toenail will be important to prevent future ingrown toenails. - Toenails should always be trimmed straight across, not rounded like fingernails are trimmed. They also shouldn’t be trimmed too close to the toe. Finally, make sure your parent’s footwear is fitting well. A person’s foot grows as they get older, it may be that shoes which used to fit your loved one are too tight in the toe area now. Your loved one should be able to wiggle his toes freely without them bumping up against the top of the shoe. For most people, an ingrown toenail is a minor irritant, but if your loved one continues to struggle with them, you might want to make an appointment with her doctor or podiatrist to discuss long-term care and prevention. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Companion Care at Home in Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Companion Care at Home in Joplin MO, Ingrown Toenail --- ### [Cutting Salt Intake When Your Mom Has High Blood Pressure](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/cutting-salt-intake-when-your-mom-has-high-blood-pressure/) **Published:** February 21, 2023 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** During National Salt Awareness Week, evaluate your mom's salt intake and see if there are areas in her diet she may need to reduce. **Content:** ![Salt Intake: Elder Care Joplin MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/bigstock-Sea-salt-on-wooden-spoon-and-t-82493897-1-300x200.jpg)Salt Intake: Elder Care Joplin MOYour body needs salt intake for proper function. The problem is that some people get way too much sodium in their daily diet. To make up for it, the body draws extra water into the blood vessels as a means to dilute it. That excess impedes health by increasing blood pressure, raising the risk of heart disease and stroke, and leaching calcium from the bones. Many adults eat at least 1.5 teaspoons (3,400 milligrams) of salt each day. The body only needs 1,500 mg (minimum) to 2,300 mg (maximum). It’s National Salt Awareness Week and if your mom has high blood pressure, she needs to listen to her doctor and reduce her salt intake. ### Different Types of Salt Have Different Sodium Levels Did you know that the salt you use may not have the same amount of sodium per teaspoon? The type of salt your mom uses will impact how much salt intake she consumes each day. - Celtic Pink Sea Salt – 1,600 mg per teaspoon - French Fleur de Sel – 1,560 mg to 2,320 mg per teaspoon (depending on the brand) - Kosher Salt – 1,120 mg (fine grind) to 1,920 mg (coarse grind) per teaspoon - Normal Iodized Table Salt – 2,300 mg per teaspoon - Pink Himalayan Salt – 2,200 mg per teaspoon - Sea Salt – 1,560 mg (coarse grind) to 2,120 mg (fine grind) per teaspoon ### Ways to Cut the Salt Your mom can start reducing her salt intake by using a salt substitute. Potassium salt such as Morton Salt Substitute has no sodium and instead gets the salty flavor from potassium, around 2,760 mg per teaspoon. Rely more on herbs and spices than salt. If your mom is seeking flavor, use fresh herbs like basil leaves, chives, cilantro, etc. Garlic adds a lot of flavor without the sodium. Keep them growing on the window sill where you can quickly clip some to add to meals. Use citrus juice like lemon and lime juice for added flavor. The zest adds even more of a punch. For example, your mom loves barley pilaf with lots of salt and butter. Instead, use lemon, fresh basil, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. It will be flavorful without the added salt. ### Arrange Elder Care Services to Help With Meals Your mom is struggling to cook meals that match her dietary changes. She was already having a hard time cooking for one, but this is too much. She’s avoiding anything that’s not low-sodium canned soup or frozen dinners. She can have home-cooked meals that are low-sodium. Arrange to have elder care provider cook meals for your mom. Her caregivers will talk to her about what she likes to eat and come up with fun ways to make them without excessive amounts of salt. She can even have her elder care aides take her shopping for the herbs and spices she wants to use. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Elder Care in [Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** Sources: > [Salt and Sodium](https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/salt-and-sodium/) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Elder Care Joplin MO, Seniors and Health Issues, Uncategorized **Tags:** Elder Care Joplin, Salt --- ### [Is it Age-Related Memory Loss or Something Else?](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/is-it-age-related-memory-loss-or-something-else/) **Published:** March 9, 2023 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** While home care providers help with daily tasks, they can also assist in helping seniors remember details such as names, places, or dates. **Content:** ![Memory Loss: Home Care Carl Junction MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/bigstock-Man-Awake-In-Bed-Suffering-Wit-54834272-1-300x200.jpg)Memory Loss: Home Care Carl Junction MOAging is a beautiful yet unpredictable time in life. While **home care** providers help with daily tasks such as bathing, personal care, and chores, another aspect of care may include gently helping the senior remember details such as names, places, or dates. Unfortunately, many people take advantage of the fact that they’ll always have a healthy brain and memory. However, memory is a complex and fragile process easily compromised by illness, diet, dehydration, medication, or injury. Seniors may experience moments of forgetfulness, absent-mindedness, or memory loss for extended periods during illness, injury, or stress; however, after a medical checkup, they learn it is not a concern as it resolves itself with time. There are a few ways an in-home care provider can spot whether a doctor’s visit is needed to rule out anything serious such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other neurological disorders. ### Depression and Anxiety Seniors with depression often experience short-term forgetfulness, brain fog, and frustration. Unfortunately, unusual forgetfulness and memory loss are among the first signs of depression. It’s important for the home care provider to inform family and medical providers of any signs that may indicate depression. Early treatment can mitigate long-term damage. ### Diet and Hydration Poor diet or dehydration can all contribute to intermittent forgetfulness or memory loss. Food allergies can also contribute. If this is the case, consulting with the senior’s medical provider is a priority. ### Exercise Exercise is essential for seniors. It keeps them agile by strengthening their muscles and bones and keeps blood flowing to their brain. When a senior becomes sedentary, their brain and biology do not receive the blood and oxygen needed to maintain peak cognitive function. A walk a day and keep forgetfulness at bay. ### Medical Condition Memory loss due to aging is usually mild and comes on gradually. However, if it is due to a medical condition, it’s usually more severe and sudden. Additionally, the seniors with memory loss due to a medical condition may experience other symptoms they’ve never had before, such as increased confusion, stuttering, or inability to speak or form sentences; they may have visual problems, numbness, or can’t move their limbs. Again, a **home caregiver** provider is priceless in catching these seemingly benign symptoms, which can lead to consulting with a medical provider to rule out anything serious. ### Medication Side Effects Some medications, such as anti-anxiety, antihistamines, anti-depressants, and sleeping pills, are more prone to cause memory loss; therefore, it’s vital for a **home care** provider to have a list of all medications and the contact information of doctors and pharmacists in case there’s a need to consult with them. Here are some activities that can help a senior maintain an active and healthy lifestyle to keep memory loss and serious illness at bay. - Stimulate the mind with activities like word or number puzzles, learning a new skill or hobby, or creating art. - Use journals, lists, calendars, and reminders, and add color coding and stickers for interest and creativity. - Eat healthy, nutrient-dense fruits, vegetables, grains, lean proteins, and fats. - Exercise daily by swimming, biking, golfing, walking, or taking easy hikes in the woods. - Remove any televisions from the bedroom for a full night of restful sleep. - Limit alcohol intake, especially if there are risks of drug interactions. A healthy brain that can recall details easily is integral to life, but taking care of it is crucial. An in-home caregiver can offer peace of mind in this regard. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Home Care in [Carl Junction](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** [Source 1](https://alzheimer.ca/en/about-dementia/do-i-have-dementia/differences-between-normal-aging-dementia) / [Source 2](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/in-depth/memory-loss/art-20046326) - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Home Care, Home Care Carl Junction MO, Memory Loss --- ### [Tips For Managing Incontinence In Seniors](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/tips-for-managing-incontinence-in-seniors/) **Published:** September 8, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Incontinence is something that seniors rarely like to talk about. But you may have already noticed signs that your senior parent may be struggling with it. **Content:** Incontinence is something that seniors rarely like to talk about. But you may have already noticed signs that your senior parent may be struggling with it. Often seniors will try to manage the issue by themselves rather than ask for help because they think that it’s a problem that they shouldn’t discuss with anyone else. Seniors are often embarrassed if they experience incontinence but it’s something that is very common among seniors. Unfortunately seniors may try to hide their problem by refusing to go out to shop, take a walk, or visit their friends and family members. Helping seniors manage incontinence can increase their confidence and make them more likely to go out, socialize, exercise, and do other things that will make their lives fuller and richer. There are several things that families can do to help a senior parent that is experiencing incontinence like: ### **Personal Care At Home** ![Personal Care at Home Joplin, MO: Managing Incontinence](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/bigstock-130896419-1-300x200.jpg)Personal Care at Home Joplin, MO: Managing IncontinencePersonal care at home is a great way for seniors who are having trouble with personal care tasks or having trouble managing incontinence to get the help they need without any embarrassment. When your senior has personal care at a home an experienced and compassionate care provider will help your senior loved one with tasks like getting to and from the bathroom, bathing, getting dressed, and making sure they are clean and dry throughout the day or night. Personal care at home protects your senior loved one’s dignity by giving them the assistance they need without them having to ask their children to help them with personal tasks. ### **Invest In Incontinence Products** There are lots of great incontinence products on the market that can help seniors manage incontinence without any embarrassment. One of the biggest innovations that can help seniors, especially since senior women, is moisture wicking underwear. The underwear can absorb large amounts of liquid without the use of a noticeable pad or diaper so they can be worn normally under clothes. They just get washed like other intimate garments and can last for a long time if cared for properly. They’re a great option for seniors who don’t want to wear incontinence pads or disposable underwear that is often noticeable under clothing. ### **Talk With A Doctor** Many seniors just assume that incontinence is part of getting older so they don’t bother to discuss the issue with their doctors. But incontinence may not be just a side effect of aging. Your senior loved one could have overactive bladder or another medical condition that is causing their incontinence. If the problem is due to a medical issue there could be medications that can help your senior loved one. The condition may even be a side effect of medications that your senior loved one is taking for another condition. It’s important for seniors to discuss incontinence with their doctor to make sure that the doctor rules out a medical cause. Your senior parent’s doctor may also have other suggestions for how your senior loved one can manage their incontinence. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Personal Care at Home in Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Managing Incontinence, Personal Care at Home Joplin MO --- ### [Fall Activities for 90 Year Olds](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/fall-activities-for-90-year-olds/) **Published:** September 19, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Make use of the fall season by participating in some easy but enjoyable activities and crafts designed specifically for seniors. **Content:** The chilled weather is a welcome relief from the scorching heat.

This is when inside activities are the best option. Adults may have just as much fun as children do with coloring. Indeed, there are coloring books aimed squarely at grownups. You may either buy a book specifically for this purpose, or you can go online and look for coloring pages to print off. There are hundreds of different autumn-themed coloring sheets available online, but we’ve curated a small selection of our favorites for you to enjoy. ## Pull Out a Fall Puzzle Sit down with a cup of hot chocolate or apple cider or chocolate and a stunning autumn-themed puzzle.

Elder care can help drive them or pick up ingredients required to bake everything they love. Nothing like fresh air and changing leaves to get you in the mood to bake. Simple and tasty sweets are ideal for older persons to prepare. You can even include the grandchildren! ## Make Fall Decor for Halloween It’s simple to purchase fall decorations, but crafting your own is rewarding and adds a unique touch to your house. Here are some simple autumn projects for seniors to make: - Garland- The best thing about garland is that a senior can use anything! They can dry out leaves or even make paper leaves to string together. They can make them spooky for Halloween or bright colors for Thanksgiving. Get involved by helping them hang the garland in their house. - Paint Pumpkins- Carving can be strenuous or challenging for seniors to do. Seniors can start painting pumpkins or embellishing them! This will also help a pumpkin last for the whole season! **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Elder Care in Carl Junction](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Elder Care Carl Junction MO, Fall Activities --- ### [Gather The Family to Discuss Senior Home Care After Your Dad's Fall](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/gather-the-family-to-discuss-senior-home-care-after-your-dads-fall/) **Published:** October 10, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Did you know that 28% of older adults fall at least once in a year? Of those falls, 37% lead to injuries that require medical attention. **Content:** Did you know that 28% of older adults fall at least once in a year? Of those falls, 37% lead to injuries that require medical attention. If your dad fell, it’s not uncommon. But, it is important to address what led to the fall and take measures to prevent another fall. Senior home care is one way to do that. ### Understanding What **Causes** Falls Why do older adults fall? There are a number of reasons, but here are the five most common. ![Senior Care Joplin, MO: Seniors and Falls](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/bigstock-Senior-Man-With-Walker-During-351825584-1-1-300x200.jpg)Senior Care Joplin, MO: Seniors and Falls1. Medication side effects : If your dad is experiencing falls due to medications, talk to his doctor. There may be other options to help lower the risk of a fall. 2. Muscle weakness/thinning bones: Muscle weakness is harder as it can be related to health issues. He should go for a bone density screening if he hasn’t already. 3. Foot pain: Foot pain can be related to improper toenail length causing nails to dig into neighboring toes. It can strain the many ligaments, tendons, and joints within the feet due to years of using the feet. It can also be a case of shoes that are too tight or loose, so the feet are cramped or that the shoes are rubbing and causing blisters. Get his feet measured professionally before buying his next pair of shoes. 4. Household hazards: Loose carpeting, slippery flooring, and loose stair rails are all reasons your dad could slip or trip and fall. Slippery bathroom flooring is another hazard and can be corrected with non-slip floor and shower mats and grab bars. If he has light fixtures that need new bulbs or dim lighting, that can also impact the risk of a fall. 5. Vision impairments: Finally, poor vision can make it harder for your dad to see clearly. Make sure he has his eyes tested and that he’s wearing corrective glasses when he walks around. ### How Can Senior Home Care Help? How does senior home care help prevent falls? It comes down to what led to the fall. If your dad’s medications cause dizziness, having a caregiver there to make sure he remains seated until the side effects ease is ideal. His caregiver can get the items he needs to ensure he doesn’t try to get up. Did your dad fall while stepping out of the shower? Grab bars may help provide support as he steps over the edge of a tub or in and out of a shower stall. He might need to have someone there to help support his weight to keep him from falling. Suppose your dad fell on the stairs due to joint pain. If that’s the case, it’s important that you have a caregiver support him if he has to use the stairs. If he can avoid it, that may be better. If he has to use the stairs to leave the house, he needs a caregiver by his side. If his laundry room is in the basement, have a caregiver available to do the laundry for him. Your dad’s health issue leads to dizziness or instability when he’s walking around. With home care aides by his side on walks outside, going to the bathroom, or heading to the kitchen for a drink, he’s less likely to fall. Arrange senior home care as soon as you can. As the odds are high that your dad will fall again within the year, you want to make sure he’s supported. Hire senior home care aides today. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Senior Care in Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** Sources: https://www.cdc.gov/falls/data/falls-by-state.html# - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Home Care After a Fall, Senior Care Joplin MO --- ### [Why Does Your Senior Need to Socialize?](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/why-does-your-senior-need-to-socialize/) **Published:** October 24, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Having a strong social life can offer a lot of benefits to your senior. **Content:** There are people who believe that a social life of any sort is optional, but that’s not really the case for humans. Older adults especially tend to fare much better when they have a social support system around them. What that means for your senior is that having access to friends, family, and even to home care assistance can make every aspect of her life a lot easier. ### **She Might Be More Physically Active** ![Home Care Assistance Neosho, MO: Seniors and Socializing ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/bigstock-group-of-happy-senior-friends-14762219-1-300x200.jpg)Home Care Assistance Neosho, MO: Seniors and SocializingPeople who are spending time with other people tend to be more physically active in general. If your elderly family member is isolating herself, she’s likely to be at home and not engaging in a lot of activity at all. Home care assistance can turn that around for your senior, by exposing her to people who care about her and who genuinely enjoy spending time with her. ### **She Can Be Mentally Healthier** Being more social improves cognitive health because the brain is getting stimulated. Spending quality time with home care providers can make a huge difference in how your senior’s brain is able to function. Socializing also helps with memory, which is a key part of keeping your senior’s brain healthy. Being more social helps your senior to avoid depression and other mental health struggles, too. ### **Her Moods and Stress Levels Will Be Better** Spending time with other people can do a lot to reduce your senior’s stress levels, even if those stressors are due to health or other issues beyond loneliness. Your elderly family member may also find that her moods improve, and that’s partly because when caregivers are stopping by she has something to look forward to every day. That’s a powerful part of helping your senior to be healthier overall. ### **She Feels Supported** It’s so important that anyone feels like they have a support system, and that is especially true for your aging family member. Having home care assistance with her means that not only does your elderly family member have social and emotional support, but she also has practical support. If she needs help with any routine tasks, caregivers are there to offer that assistance. ### **She’ll Just Feel Better Overall** When your elderly family member is more social, she is just more likely to feel healthier in general. Even when your senior is facing big health challenges, it’s different when she knows that there are people in her corner. That sort of emotional support goes a long way, especially during difficult times when your elderly family member isn’t sure what the outcome might be. Your senior having a strong social life helps you as her family caregiver, too. It’s a lot easier to be able to handle all of the various things you have to handle when you know that she has a support system that includes other people as well as yourself. If you were to shoulder that burden for her by yourself, it would become very difficult quickly. It’s important for you to be able to have your own space and support systems, too. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Home Care Assistance in Neosho](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Home Care Assistance Neosho MO, Seniors and Socializing --- ### [Tips Seniors Can Use To Get To Know Their Neighbors](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/tips-seniors-can-use-to-get-to-know-their-neighbors/) **Published:** November 21, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** December is Hi Neighbor Month! And it’s a great time for seniors who are aging in place to get to know their neighbors. **Content:** December is Hi Neighbor Month! And it’s a great time for seniors who are aging in place to get to know their neighbors. If your senior parent has lived in the same neighborhood for decades chances are good that there’s been a neighbor turnover in that time and now there are new neighbors that your senior loved one may not know. Knowing their neighbors is important for seniors. Having neighbors that they can call for help or neighbors who will check on seniors regularly helps seniors stay connected to their communities and avoid loneliness. But sometimes seniors can find it awkward to reach out to the new neighbors that they haven’t met before. Seniors can use these easy and fun tricks to say hi neighbor and start making friends in the neighborhood: ### **Send Holiday Cards** ![Elder Care Jasper County, MO: Seniors and Neighbors ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/bigstock-Gingerbread-House-Decorated-Wi-9920450-1-300x200.jpg)Elder Care Jasper County, MO: Seniors and NeighborsAn easy way to meet the neighbors is to send out holiday cards. If your senior loved one has elder care their elder care provider can drop off cards in the mailboxes of neighbors or mail them through the post office. A holiday card with a brief introduction is a classic way for seniors to meet any of the neighbors that might be new in the neighborhood. And your senior parent may get a nice holiday card from the neighbors in return. ### **Drop Off A Treat** If your senior loved one likes to bake then they can use their hobby to meet some new neighbors by making holiday cookies or candy or other treats to share with the neighbors. An elder care provider can help your senior loved one with the tougher parts of baking if they need a hand with things like mixing, stirring, chopping, or hoisting a heavy cookie sheet from the stove to the countertop. An elder car provider can also help your senior loved one decorate some gift boxes and fill them with tissue paper to put their treats into. Drop the treat boxes on their doorstep or put in the mailbox. ### **Hold A Holiday Open House** A holiday open house is basically just a big neighborhood party. It’s more fun when there are others participating so your senior loved one should see if other neighbors want to do the same. Set a date and time and make it known in the neighborhood that people, including your senior loved one, will have their houses open to receive guests during that time. Neighbors can go around the neighborhood for drinks and snacks while meeting all the people in the neighborhood. ### **Do Some Caroling** Singing holiday carols door to door is a festive and fun way to get to know the neighbors. Your senior parent can get a group of neighbors together to go caroling or go with just an elder care provider so that they can sing some songs, bring some joy, and get to the meet the neighbors that they haven’t met yet. Some of the neighbors may even gift your senior caroler with hot chocolate, cookies, or other treats in exchange for their song. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Elder Care in Jasper County](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Elder Care Jasper County MO, Seniors and Neighbors --- ### [Unique Holiday Activities for Seniors](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/unique-holiday-activities-for-seniors/) **Published:** December 6, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** It is so important to keep your seniors busy during the holiday season.

It’s a great way for your loved ones to express their imagination while also allowing you to unwind. Use creative tools like ribbons, colored pens, and art materials to add a new dimension of enjoyment to your senior’s gift-wrapping activities. This is a unique activity for your elderly loved one but also something your kids will surely enjoy later on! ## Set Up Secret Santa Whether your elderly loved one has tons of friends, lives in a senior community, or just wants to do this with the family, secret Santa is a fun way to get December going. Get all your family members to draw a random name from a hat or bucket, and then go out and buy gifts for that person. This is something that your senior family member can easily partake in. They can make gifts or buy them while they’re out shopping. It’s even a chance for you both to go shopping together. ## Watch Holiday Movies Together Watching movies can be comfortable, relaxing, and, most importantly, enjoyable for your senior loved one. Many holiday movies are out on Netflix, Hulu, or HBO. You can choose your favorite Christmas movie and then choose one of theirs as well. This is something that the whole family can enjoy, and there is very little stress when setting up this activity for everyone. Pop some popcorn, snuggle in a cozy blanket, and turn on that fun movie for some holiday cheer! ## Make Christmas Cards Together If your loved one likes doing arts and crafts, December is the perfect time to do so. This is the time to make holiday cards as a family and send them to others. Get your senior and young kids involved. It can be as creative as they want, and it’s a super stress-free activity that others will enjoy too. You can make reindeer cards, Santa faces, snowflakes, and more. Making Christmas cards is a good way to spend an evening with the whole family. ## Buy for the Community If your family has no young kids, but your senior really wants to buy for kids, it’s time to get involved with the local community. There are many programs during December looking for kids’ toys donations. The donations will go to families in need. Take your senior shopping and then donate them together. This will make the seniors feel good but also support locals in need. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Senior Care in Carthage](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Holiday Activities, Senior Care Carthage MO --- ### [Help Your Mom Avoid the Flu This Year](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/help-your-mom-avoid-the-flu-this-year/) **Published:** December 22, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** You don't want your mom getting the flu if at all possible. Here are some of the things to do to keep her from getting sick. **Content:** As holiday gatherings pick up, it’s important to keep an eye on the flu season. It’s predicted to be bad this year and already there have been close to 20,000 hospitalizations due to the flu. Only four states, so far, are seeing low activity (Alaska, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Vermont). Many states are seeing extremely high numbers of flu cases. You don’t want your mom getting the flu if at all possible. Here are some of the things to do to keep her from getting sick. ### **Get the Flu Shot** ![Home Care Webb City, MO: Flu and Seniors ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/bigstock-Medicine-In-Vials-93025325-1-300x200.jpg)Home Care Webb City, MO: Flu and SeniorsHas your mom had the flu shot yet? If not, make sure she goes as soon as possible. She can get the vaccination at her doctor’s office, a participating pharmacy, or a flu shot clinic. If she has health issues or allergies that prevent her from getting a flu shot, you’ll have to take other measures to keep her safe. ### Delay Gatherings If Necessary Talk to your family about common prevention tips to help prevent the spread of viruses to your mom. While it’s understandable to want to gather for the holidays, sometimes it’s better to wait. If there is an outbreak of flu at your children’s school, there is a higher chance of them bringing the virus to your home. You could end up carrying it to your mom’s home. Wait for several weeks until flu activity has decreased. ### Wear a Mask While Out While some people balk at the idea of wearing a mask, there are countries where it’s normal to run errands while wearing a mask. Make it a normal practice. If your mom is out shopping, have her wear a mask. It can help limit the number of virus-laden droplets from others coughing, sneezing, or even talking near her. ### Wash Hands Often Your mom needs to wash her hands as often as possible. If she can’t wash them after touching a cart, door handle, or cash register keypad, make sure she has hand sanitizer available. Many stores still have dispensers near entrances. ### Eat Well Your mom should improve her diet if she relies on packaged or canned meals.

It’s incurable, but medications and treatments can protect your dad from losing his vision. The thing is, for them to work effectively, it has to be caught early. There are also no guarantees. He could still lose his vision. There is also primary angle closure glaucoma that occurs suddenly and must be treated urgently with a surgical procedure to drain the fluid that’s pressing on the optic nerve. This type is known to have higher odds of causing blindness. What if it’s your dad who is losing his vision? He’s going blind and his doctors say you need to start talking about his changing care needs. They’ve recommended your family sit down and talk about in-home care services for him. What will those services do to help him? ### Companionship ![In-Home Care Carthage, MO: Seniors and Glaucoma ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/bigstock-Glaucoma-Word-Cloud-Concept-160456652-1-300x217.jpg)In-Home Care Carthage, MO: Seniors and GlaucomaLosing his vision is going to be stressful and isolating. Don’t let your dad stay by himself all day feeling miserable. A caregiver provides companionship and encouragement to stay active, even if it means finding new ways to do things. ### Mobility Walking around his home is going to be hard while your dad gets accustomed to his vision loss. A caregiver can guide him around his home, up and down the stairs, and in and out of the bathroom. If he needs someone to help him get in and out of the shower, that’s possible. Speaking of showers, your dad will struggle to figure out what bottle he needs for shampoo, conditioner, or even body wash. His caregiver can help him find the right one and dispense the product if needed. ### Housekeeping One of the areas where your dad will need a lot of help is with housework. He’s not going to have clear enough vision to clean floors and surfaces well. Hire a caregiver to change the sheets on his bed, do the laundry, and clean the home. His caregiver can also water plants, keep track of items he needs to buy, and compost foods that are past date or showing signs of mold or spoilage. ### Transportation Your dad cannot drive. When he needs to run errands, pick up prescription refills, or visit his doctor or dentist, he needs someone to drive him around. You can take off work, but you may not have enough personal time or vacation days. An in-home care aide is able to drive him to the places he needs to go. You won’t have to keep taking days off to transport him. As soon as you can, talk to a specialist about your dad’s care needs. You need to talk about his vision loss, what he can and cannot do independently now, and how often he needs help. An in-home care specialist will help you make the right arrangements. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [In-Home Care in Carthage](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** Sources: https://glaucoma.org/learn-about-glaucoma/types-of-glaucoma https://eyerounds.org/books/glaucoma\_guide/chapter2.html - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Glaucoma, In-Home Care Carthage MO --- ### [How Can Elder Care Help Your Senior Manage Osteoporosis?](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/how-can-elder-care-help-your-senior-manage-osteoporosis/) **Published:** May 16, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Dealing with osteoporosis properly may mean that your senior needs some extra help. **Content:** May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month. If your elderly family member has been told that she is at risk for developing osteoporosis or that she already has it, then she might benefit from having additional assistance. Here’s how elder care can make managing osteoporosis easier for your senior. ### **Reducing Fall Risk** ![Elder Care Webb City, MO: Managing Osteoporosis](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/bigstock-Osteoporosis-44323384-1-300x200.jpg)Elder Care Webb City, MO: Managing OsteoporosisFalls are one of the biggest issues for people with osteoporosis. Elder care providers can tackle reducing fall risk head-on by removing clutter and helping your elderly family member to keep her home neat and tidy. They can also help your senior to make adjustments to keep pathways clear, like rearranging furniture. And if your elderly family member uses assistive devices, like a cane, they can help her to remember to keep it handy. ### **Having Exercise Reminders** Weight-bearing exercise is one of the first things your senior’s doctor is likely to recommend to her when she’s first diagnosed with osteoporosis. That’s because bearing weight helps your senior’s bones to build strength, much like exercise does for muscles. Remembering to do the exercise that she’s cleared to do on a consistent basis is going to offer your senior the best results in managing her osteoporosis. Elderly care providers can keep your senior on target with her goals. ### **Making Dietary Changes** It’s also possible that your senior’s doctor recommends that she adjusts her diet in some way. If she’s not getting enough calcium, protein, and other vital nutrients, then her diet needs a closer look. Vitamin D and calcium are crucial for bone health, and your senior can get these from dairy products, eggs, and fruits and vegetables. If your elderly family member needs help with meal preparation, home care providers can handle that, too. ### **Getting to Medical Checkups** If driving is difficult for your senior, elder care providers may also be an option in helping her to get where she needs to go. Checking in with her doctor on a regular basis helps to make sure that the changes your senior is adopting are doing what she needs and wants them to do. As your elderly family member learns more about osteoporosis and her unique issues with her own health, her doctor may have other recommendations. ### **Noticing Signs of Trouble** Something else that elder care providers can help your senior to do is to recognize when she may be having new symptoms or issues that point to trouble. Anything that affects your senior’s balance or her ability to walk safely can prove dangerous with osteoporosis. Some medications may have side effects that worsen your elderly family member’s fall risk, so it’s important to be aware of what’s going on. Keeping your senior’s doctors and other medical providers informed is important to make sure she gets the proper treatments for her needs. Talk with your elderly family member’s doctor about everything that you need to know about osteoporosis and how it affects your senior. Then you and your senior can make decisions based on all of the information that you have. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Elder Care in [Webb City](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Elder Care Webb City MO, Managing Osteoporosis --- ### [Tips for Toileting with Your Elderly Loved One](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/tips-for-toileting-with-your-elderly-loved-one/) **Published:** June 20, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Is your elderly loved one having difficulty making it to the toilet in time? Maybe, they struggle with getting their pants down or they just can’t see to make it to the bathroom in time. **Content:** There are many senior citizens who face challenges with toileting. For instance, your elderly loved one may have incontinence and be afraid they aren’t going to make it to the bathroom in time. It is important that you or home care providers work with your elderly loved one to overcome these challenges. ### Using Adequate Lighting ![Personal Care at Home Carthage, MO: Tips for Toileting](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/bigstock-Handicap-Toilet-21912980-1-1-300x201.jpg)Personal Care at Home Carthage, MO: Tips for ToiletingOne of the tips that can be used to help your elderly loved one with their toileting issues is to put in adequate lighting. For example, if your elderly loved one really has to use the bathroom, but they don’t think they are going to make it in time, they are much less likely to have an accident if there is adequate lighting. You could even install motion-sensor lighting, so the light automatically turns on when someone enters the bathroom. You can put the same kind of lighting in the hallways, too. ### Put Hygiene Products Well Within Reach It is important to ensure that your elderly loved one has everything they need well within reach. For example, if there aren’t shelves with toilet paper near the toilet, your elderly loved one may have some leakage when they get up to reach for the toilet paper. There are many storage containers for toilet paper that you can get for your elderly loved one. If needed, you can also get personal care at home services. That way, there is always someone around to make sure your elderly loved one has the hygiene products they need. ### Pick Out Accessible Clothing Another way to help your elderly loved one avoid toileting issues is to pick out accessible clothing for them. There are certain types of clothes, such as zipper and button pants, that can make it more difficult for your elderly loved one to use the bathroom. It would be best if your elderly loved one had clothes, such as those with elastic waistbands. These are easier for them to pull down, so they can get to the toilet quicker. ### Hiring Home Care Providers One of the best things you can do for your elderly loved one if they struggle with toileting issues is to hire senior care providers. With the personal care at home services, these providers can help your elderly loved one get to the toilet easier and avoid incontinence and other types of accidents, as well. ### Conclusion Is your elderly loved one having difficulty making it to the toilet in time? Maybe, they struggle with getting their pants down or they just can’t see to make it to the bathroom in time. It could be due to incontinence or other bladder issues, too. If your elderly loved one is struggling with any toileting issues, be sure you get them the help they need. This could be installing the proper lighting, ensuring they have the proper clothing on, or hiring elderly care providers to help them make it to the bathroom in time. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Personal Care at Home in [Carthage](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** Sources https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/bathing-dressing-and-grooming-alzheimers-caregiving-tips - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Personal Care at Home Carthage MO, Tips for Toileting --- ### [How Do Support a Parent Through Cancer Treatments?](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/how-do-support-a-parent-through-cancer-treatments/) **Published:** July 5, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** While undergoing cancer treatments, your mom is dealing with some of the most common side effects. She's nauseous and lightheaded. **Content:** While undergoing cancer treatments, your mom is dealing with some of the most common side effects. She’s nauseous and lightheaded. She’s experiencing extreme fatigue and bruising easily. She has a hard time remembering things. You’re with her as much as you can be, but you also have a full-time job and can’t afford to take weeks off. What can you do to support your mom through cancer treatments? ### Talk to Her Medical Team ![24-Hour Home Care Joplin, MO: Cancer Treatments ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/bigstock-Cancer-Background-Conceptual-D-42249667-2-1-300x225.jpg)24-Hour Home Care Joplin, MO: Cancer TreatmentsTalk to your mom’s doctors regularly and go over the side effects she’s experiencing. For issues like nausea and vomiting, prescription medications may help. If she’s not eating or able to hold down food, she might need IV fluids to prevent dehydration. Nutritional shakes may be easier for her to swallow and keep down. They can recommend the best options. ### Keep Her Mind Occupied Your mom may be too weak to do many activities, but you can keep her occupied. Get a wheelchair and talk her on a walk on an area boardwalk or botanical garden. Bring her outside to raised garden beds that she can tend to from a chair. If she’s stuck inside due to the weather, put on her favorite movies and watch them with her. She may be unable to read or hold a book for too long, but you could stock up on audiobooks for her to listen to. ### Stock Up on Foods She Can Eat As you find foods that your mom enjoys and can eat, stock up on them. While chemo or radiation may make her nauseous, you may find that she develops a craving for sour items like yogurt. If she likes it, stock up on it. Make sure she has that item available. Sometimes, plain foods are more tolerable. Keep white rice, potatoes, and chicken breast on hand. She may also enjoy having pumpkin and winter squash available. ### Set Up Her Bedroom to be Convenient for Her Needs Is your mom’s bedroom on the same level as the kitchen, living room, and full bathroom? If possible, make sure it’s arranged so that she doesn’t have to deal with stairs for now. If she has a den, you could put a memory foam futon in there for now and add a second mattress to make it comfortable. Try to keep her near the bathroom to avoid her having to walk to the other side of the house to use the toilet. ### Arrange 24-Hour Home Care Services For now, don’t leave your mom alone. Make sure she has a caregiver with her all day and all night. Hire a caregiver for 24-hour home care. Your mom has someone with her at all hours, so she’s not alone and anxious if nausea, dizziness, or pain occurs. Call a 24-hour home care specialist to get started. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [24-hour home care in Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** 24-Hour Home Care Joplin MO, Cancer Treatments --- ### [Learn How Companion Care at Home Works](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/learn-how-companion-care-at-home-works/) **Published:** July 18, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Your mom needs help around the home.

She wants to live alone and retain her independence, but she has a hard time with some daily chores. How do you help her? It’s time to look into how companion care at home works. ### Things Companion Care Aides Can Do ![Companion Care at Home Joplin, MO: What is Companion Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/bigstock-light-housekeeping-1-300x192.jpg)Companion Care at Home Joplin, MO: What is Companion CareWhat can companion care aides help your mom with? There’s a long list. Caregivers are available for companionship. They’ll keep your mom from feeling isolated or lonely. They can take her shopping, accompany her to medical appointments, or help her run errands. If she likes to go out for leisurely lunches, her companions can make sure that keeps happening. Companion care aides help with housework. They can clean counters, wash dishes, run the dishwasher, and vacuum carpets. They can dust mop hardwood floors, sanitize sinks, and put clean dishes away. Caregivers can do the laundry each week. They’ll change the bed sheets, make the bed, gather dirty towels, and wash everything. They’ll hang fresh towels in the bathroom and put clean laundry away when it’s done. Your mom has hobbies she loves to do, but it’s getting harder for her to do them without help. Her caregiver can help her gather gardening tools and make sure she’s staying hydrated while she weeds, harvests crops, or plants seeds. How well does your mom do for meals and snacks? If she can’t cook on her own, her caregiver can help her. Your mom’s caregiver can help her plan a weekly menu and prepare meals and snacks when your mom wants them. If your mom hates eating by herself, she has a caregiver available to eat with her. If a conversation is what your mom misses the most, hire companion care aides to keep your mom company. They can chat over tea, watch movies together, or play games. Your mom has a caregiver to help her complete the daily crossword or join her on walks around the local park. ### What Companion Care Aides Don’t Help With Anything that is of a medical nature requires a different type of care. Caregivers cannot administer injectable medications. They can’t help your mom with wound care or IVs. Companion care aides also don’t offer help with personal care tasks like toileting, grooming, or bathing. If those services are needed, additional arrangements are available. ### How to Get Started So, how do you get started? Call or reach out to a companion care advisor online. You’ll learn more about prices and services and discuss your mom’s needs. Once you know how many days of companion care at home she needs, arrange services. If her needs change, remember that you can change her services to match her new needs. Companion care at home adapts to her to ensure she’s never lonely or finding it difficult to maintain her independence. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Companion Care at Home in Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Family Caregivers **Tags:** Companion Care at Home, Companion Care at Home Joplin MO --- ### [4 Fun Family Activities Seniors Can Enjoy](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/4-fun-family-activities-seniors-can-enjoy/) **Published:** August 9, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** August is Family Fun Month and while your kids have some time off from school it’s the perfect time for some family activities that will be fun for your kids and for your senior parent. **Content:** August is Family Fun Month and while your kids have some time off from school it’s the perfect time for some family activities that will be fun for your kids and for your senior parent. Summertime is the best time for indoor and outdoor activities that you and your whole family can enjoy without having to watch the clock. Get your whole family together to enjoy some of these great family activities this August: ### Gardening Kids love digging in the dirt. And they love watching plants grow from the seeds they planted digging in the dirt. Gardening is a very healthy and therapeutic activity for seniors which has physical and mental health benefits. So this year let your senior parent and your kids start growing some things together. Whether they start a container garden on the apartment balcony or use a small piece of the backyard to plant some flowers and vegetables gardening is a great family activity that everyone will enjoy.

Poke some holes in the lids of those old Ball canning jars and sit outside with your senior parent while your kids run around and catch fireflies in the summer dusk. It’s a great time to enjoy the outdoors as a family because the sun will be going down which means the UV rays won’t be at dangerous levels and the temperature will be bearable too. Your kids and your senior loved one will be able to safely and comfortably enjoy some summer family fun catching fireflies. ### Telling Stories By The Fire Another fun activity to do as a family on a summer evening is to tell stories by the fire pit. Start a small fire and tell family stories, fairy tales, or even have a competition to have everyone make up a new story on the spot. Bring out some chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers and make s’mores or roast marshmallows on sticks. This is exactly the kind of family evening that your kids will always remember fondly when they look back on their childhood summers. ### Swimming Swimming is a great family activity that isn’t too difficult for seniors or for kids. In fact, both seniors and kids can benefit from spending some time swimming on a hot summer day. Just make sure that everyone is wearing waterproof sunscreen and that they are reapplying that sunscreen often. Seniors also should wear sunglasses whenever they are not swimming because the sun’s UV rays can reflect off the water and damage their eyes. Seniors should also consider wearing a swim shirt to protect their skin from the sun. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Home Care in Carthage](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Social Seniors **Tags:** Fun Family Activities, Home Care Carthage MO --- ### [Pantry Staples To Keep on Hand for Easy, Nutritious Meals](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/pantry-staples-to-keep-on-hand-for-easy-nutritious-meals/) **Published:** August 15, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** After his last exam, your dad's doctor recommended he focus more on nutrition.

He’s supposed to give up added sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. He needs to boost his intake of B vitamins, calcium, and fiber. These are the pantry staples to keep on hand. ### **Canned Tuna** ![Home Care Assistance Carthage, MO: Pantry Staples ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/bigstock-nuts-and-seed-collection-cash-63395137-1-300x200.jpg)Home Care Assistance Carthage, MO: Pantry StaplesIf your dad eats fish, canned tuna is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Keep it on hand for quick meals. Albacore is one of the best options if your dad likes white fish that’s not as fishy tasting as varieties like skipjack. When choosing tuna, aim for brands that have low-salt options. If you can’t find anything suitable, make sure you drain as much liquid as possible to lower the amount of salt. Mix it with sour cream or lemon juice and olive oil rather than mayo to further reduce the sodium levels in tuna salad sandwiches. ### **Dried and Canned Beans** Not only are dried beans packed with fiber and many of the nutrients your dad needs, but they’re also affordable. You’ll often find pound bags for no more than $2. Soak them overnight, boil and drain them, and let them cool. Transfer them to freezer bags, and your dad has cooked beans that are ready to use. Canned beans are also handy to keep in the pantry. Purchase no-salt or low-salt options. If not, rinse the beans to remove as much salty brine that they’re packed in as you can. ### **Nuts** Stock up on unsalted nuts. Almonds, raw cashews, and walnuts are great options. Add them to salads, snack on them, or mix them into protein bars and balls that your dad can snack on. One easy recipe is to blend medjool dates, whole oats, walnuts, and cinnamon. Shape them into bite-sized balls for quick boosts of protein. ### **Whole Grains** Whole grains are important, especially for fiber. Look for grains like barley, ferro, old-fashioned oats, and cracked wheat. You can cook them in batches if needed and keep them in the freezer. When your dad needs them for a salad or side dish, all he has to do is thaw whatever he needs. Quinoa is technically a seed, but it’s packed with nutrients. Make it in batches and add a couple of eggs, grated onion, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Form them into patties and freeze. Your dad has an easy-to-make hash brown substitute that just needs to be reheated in a toaster oven or browned in a pan. Your dad rarely spends time in his kitchen and isn’t much of a cook. He’s happier ordering takeout or heating up a can of soup. Talk to him about home care assistance. He can have a caregiver cook meals and prepare snacks for him. He eats well without spending time in the kitchen unless he wants to help.

There’s no better time to talk with your senior loved one about their wishes and put together a plan for home care assistance and hospice care. Hospice care is similar in some ways to home health care but it’s generally for seniors who have an advanced illness and are considered terminal. The focus of hospice care at home is to make your senior loved one as comfortable as possible. It’s never easy to have a senior loved one facing the end of a long illness but home care assistance can make a period of hospice care easier by: ### Taking Care Of The Chores ![](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/bigstock-light-housekeeping-1-1-300x192.jpg)Home Care Joplin, MO: Hospice at HomeA home care assistance provider can make sure that the household chores are still getting done regularly which will leave you more time to be with your senior loved one. Cleaning the house, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, taking care of pets, and other chores are essential but also not what families are thinking of when a loved one is in hospice care. A senior care provider can take those chores off your plate and keep the household running. ### Helping You With Preparations There are a lot of preparations that need to be made and things to manage when a senior loved one is in hospice care at home. Managing medications, filling out forms, making sure things get mailed and other preparations get completed can be very overwhelming for family members who are in a very fragile emotional state. A home care assistance provider can help with pain management and medication management, run errands for you, and generally help you stay on track and on top of any paperwork that needs to be done during the hospice period. ### Providing Respite Care For Family Members Emotions can run high when your senior parent or loved one is on hospice care. Many family members who are going through hospice care with loved ones find themselves exhausted physically and mentally much more easily than usual. A senior home care provider can provide the respite care that family members need so that they can take care of themselves and make sure that they are getting the rest they need during a difficult time. ### Ensuring That Your Senior Loved One Is Never Alone During a period of hospice care family members may still need to go to work, take care of their children, and attend to other responsibilities. They may not be able to stay with their senior loved one around the clock but at the same time don’t want their senior parent left alone at any time. [Home care assistance](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) providers can work around the clock to make sure that your senior loved one is comfortable, safe, and not alone when you can’t be with them. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering home care in Joplin, MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Home Care Joplin MO, Hospice At Home --- ### [Important Signs Your Senior Loved One Needs A Medication Change](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/important-signs-your-senior-loved-one-needs-a-medication-change/) **Published:** February 2, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Estimates are that 46% of seniors take at least five prescription medications every single day. **Content:** Estimates are that 46% of seniors take at least five prescription medications every single day.

Seniors being over-medicated is a big problem that can have serious results. That’s just one of the reasons why family caregivers or companion care at home providers should be checking your senior loved one’s medications on a regular basis. If you start to notice these symptoms of over-medication or bad medications interaction in your senior loved one call their doctor right away: ### Change In Attitude ![](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/bigstock-Medicine-Bottles-And-Pills-566011-1-300x199.jpg)Companion Care at Home Jasper County, MO: Medication ChangesIf your senior loved one is generally pretty happy and easy going but you notice that they are having bouts of anger or frustration more frequently or if they are displaying anger more frequently than before that could mean that they need to have their medication changed or adjusted. And if they usually are kind of surly or gruff but seem to have a personality change that makes them act differently than normal that could also be an indication of over-medication. Any significant change in personality or attitude should be checked out by a doctor. ### Confusion Confusion isn’t necessarily just something that seniors to live with. A small number of seniors may experience some age-related confusion but if your senior loved one is becoming confused more easily and more frequently there could be something else to blame, like the side effects from medications. ### Fatigue Fatigue can be a side effect of many medications as well as a symptom of over-medication. It could also just indicate that your senior loved one is not getting as much sleep as they should. Check with your senior loved one’s companion care at home provider if you think that your senior loved one has more fatigue than usual or more fatigue than they should have now. Ask the companion care at home provider to track how much sleep your senior loved one is getting also so that the doctor will be able to tell if the fatigue is related to sleeplessness or not. ### Irritability Seniors can be irritable as the result of frustration at not being able to do things they used to be able to do, boredom, and many other reasons. But they can also become irritable if they are experiencing strong side effects from medication or if they are taking two medications together that shouldn’t be taken together. ### The Timing Of Medications It’s not just the actual prescriptions that may be combining in a bad way and setting off grim side effects for your senior loved one. It could also be when your senior loved one is taking certain medications. Or what foods they are eating when they take medications. Work with a local [companion care at home provider](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) to make sure that your senior loved one is getting the medications they need and taking them according to the doctor’s instructions. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering Companion Care at Home in Jasper County, MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.

But unfortunately, emergencies do happen. Being prepared in advance can make emergencies less disruptive and make sure that you and your senior loved one have the things you need. Having an emergency bag packed for your senior loved one will ensure that if they end up in the hospital for an extended period they have the things they need to be as comfortable as possible. You can have a [senior home care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) provider help pack an emergency to go back for your senior loved one. And your senior loved one’s senior home care provider can make sure that the bag is always kept in an easily accessible place. Every senior’s emergency go back should contain: ### Underwear And Socks ![](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/bigstock-travel-bag-on-a-white-backgrou-231040681-1-300x183.jpg)Senior Home Care Neosho, MO: Emergency Bag and SeniorsIt’s a good idea to put enough underwear and clean socks in the bag to least for a week. In addition to regular socks it’s a good idea to put in some slipper socks or thick socks with gripper bottoms to prevent falls if your senior loved one can get up out of bed. If your senior loved one uses incontinence pads or incontinence underwear put some extra ones in the bag. Don’t depend on the hospital to provide them. ### A Warm Robe Your senior loved one may have to stay in a hospital gown during their stay but a warm cozy robe will provide some emotional comfort as well as warmth. Make sure the robe is roomy enough that your senior loved one will be able to slip it on and off easily if the medical staff need access to your senior loved one. You can put some pajamas in the bag if you want, but since your senior loved one may not be able to wear them definitely include a robe. ### Toiletries A toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap should be in the bag. But you should also put in a large package of baby wipes for quick clean ups, plenty of lotion because your senior loved one will get dry skin, and a few tubes of lip balm to help their lips from moisturized. A hairbrush, facial moisturizer, and other toiletries that your senior loved one likes can help them feel less disoriented when they are in the hospital so you might want to include those as well. ### A Warm Blanket And Pillow Hospital blankets are never comfortable and often they are very thin. Put a warm blanket and a comfortable pillow in the bag so that your senior loved one will be comfortable in their room. Fleece blankets can be rolled up very small so they are easy to pack but they provide a lot of warmth. However, if your senior loved one has a special blanket that they love like a special quilt don’t bring that because there is always the possibility it will get lost at the hospital. Inexpensive fleece blankets are a great choice because they can be easily replaced but they are warm and cozy. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering Senior Home Care in Neosho, MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Family Caregivers **Tags:** Emergency Bag, Senior Home Care Neosho MO --- ### [Surgery Recovery: Which Nutrients Help with This Process?](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/surgery-recovery-which-nutrients-help-with-this-process/) **Published:** March 21, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** When it comes down to the wire, before your elderly loved one’s surgery, you may be wondering how their recovery process will go? **Content:** When it comes down to the wire, before your elderly loved one’s surgery, you may be wondering how their recovery process will go? What types of issues will they have, if any? Are they going to be in pain? How long will the recovery process be? These are all great questions that you can talk to your elderly loved one’s doctor about. In the meantime, it would be a good idea to learn about the nutrients that are essential for a quicker recovery. Not only that, but these nutrients can reduce the number of issues your elderly loved one might have during recovery and reduce their pain levels during recovery, too. ### Increasing Antioxidants in the Diet One of the things that you or companion care at home providers should encourage your elderly loved one to do during their surgery recovery process is to increase the antioxidants in their diet. Studies have shown antioxidants help improve the healing process due to their ability to repair damaged skin cells and protect the body. Some of the foods that have high antioxidant levels are: ![Companion Care at Home in Pittsburg, KS: Surgery Recovery](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bigstock-Colorful-Fresh-Group-Of-Vegeta-499942-4-1-300x196.jpg)Companion Care at Home in Pittsburg, KS: Surgery Recovery- Spinach - Berries - Grapes You or a home care provider can encourage your elderly loved one to eat these foods for snacks or as part of a meal. If they have even one of these foods, once or twice a day during their recovery, it can help significantly in reducing their recovery time. ### Adding in the Calcium Another thing that your elderly loved one should have during their recovery is calcium. Studies show that calcium helps to improve nerve impulses, repair bones, boost muscle strength, and prevent blood clots. All of this is essential after someone has surgery. You or a companion care at home provider can take your elderly loved one to their doctor after surgery to ask how much calcium they need. Some of the foods that are filled with calcium that you or a home care provider can get for your elderly loved one include: - Almonds - Yogurt - Kale You or a companion care at home provider can make salads, lunches, or even snacks that have these ingredients in them. ### Fiber and Carbohydrates During your elderly loved one’s recovery process, they are going to need fiber and carbohydrates in their diet, too. Studies have shown that fiber is essential during recovery to prevent or relieve constipation. The carbohydrates boost energy and improve the healing process. They also improve nerve, muscle, and brain health which is essential for your elderly loved one’s recovery, as well. Some foods that have either fiber or carbohydrates in them include: - Sweet potatoes - Carrots - Whole grains - Nuts - Raspberries - Beans There are many meals and snack options that can be made using these ingredients. ### Conclusion If your elderly loved one has surgery coming up, it would be a good idea for you or a senior care provider to go grocery shopping before they get home. That way, you can ensure at least some of these foods are ready for them during the recovery process. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Companion Care at Home in Pittsburg](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), KS please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.

How can a professional caregiver help your parents with their goal of staying in their home? ### Supportive Care One of the tougher aspects of aging at home is not feeling comfortable with ambulation. Muscles and joints may not feel as strong as they used to. Your parents don’t feel safe getting in and out of the bathtub. They may not like going up and down the stairs. Caregivers provide support while your parents move around the home. They can help her get out of bed, transfer from the tub or shower, and stay with them until they’re dressed. Medication reminders are another way in-home care aides help your parents. Your parents have an aide there to remind them when to take their next dose. Caregivers are with them if side effects make your parents feel dizzy or nauseous. ### Housekeeping ![In-Home Care in Neosho, MO: Benefits of Home Care and Seniors](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/bigstock-Smiling-Woman-Cleaning-A-Bath-7468040-1-300x200.jpg)In-Home Care in Neosho, MO: Benefits of Home Care and SeniorsHow well do your mom and dad do with moving a vacuum from one floor to the other?

Companionship services line up your parents with regular caregiver visits. They have a trained professional stopping by to see if they need anything, make sure they’re doing okay, and alert you or doctors if anything is wrong. ### Tips for Hiring Home Care What care needs do your mom and dad currently have?

Here Are Some Things to Look Out For.](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/is-your-elderly-loved-one-immobilized-here-are-some-things-to-look-out-for/) **Published:** April 18, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Is your elderly loved one immobilized for any reason? Maybe they were in a car accident or they have some condition that caused their immobilization. **Content:** Is your elderly loved one immobilized for any reason? Maybe they were in a car accident or they have some condition that caused their immobilization. Either way, it is important that you are able to watch out for certain things that might happen. If your loved one doesn’t move around, there are health complications that could occur, especially if they are bed-ridden all the time. ### Decubitus Ulcers ![Home Care Joplin, MO: Immobilized Seniors](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/bigstock-160001639-1-1-300x200.jpg)Home Care Joplin, MO: Immobilized SeniorsOne of the things that you or your loved one’s home care providers should watch for is decubitus ulcers or bedsores. These happen when the skin gets damaged or broken from repetitive pressure. This usually happens when someone is lying in a bed or sitting in a chair for a long period of time. Generally, these will happen on the back of the head, heels, elbows, shoulder blades, or buttocks. However, they can occur in other parts of the body, as well. Bedsores mean that there isn’t enough blood flowing to that part of your loved one’s body. It also means that there is a higher risk that your elderly loved one will develop an infection in that area. It is essential that these ulcers get treated immediately. ### Pneumonia Pneumonia is common in those who are immobilized, too. If someone can’t move for a long period of time, this can lead to fluid building up in their lungs. More fluid build up in the lungs means a higher risk of pneumonia. Some symptoms of pneumonia include wheezing, coughing, and labored breathing. If you suspect that your elderly loved one has pneumonia, it is important that you get them the medical attention they need right away. ### Nausea and Indigestion If your elderly loved one is immobilized for a long period of time, their metabolism is going to slow down. This is going to make it more difficult for nutrients to effectively work in their body. Without proper nutrients, the body isn’t able to digest foods as well. This can cause your elderly loved one to experience nausea and indigestion. When this happens, your loved one might not be able to eat well which could lead to malnourishment. If your elderly loved one experiences nausea and indigestion, it is important to get the treatments that can help. Immobility can lead to many issues. Once one health issue starts to arise, there is a greater risk for other health issues to follow. If you are helping to care for an elderly loved one who is immobilized, it might be best to hire home care providers who are trained in this. They can help to adjust your elderly loved one, when needed, to reduce the risk of health issues. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering home care in [Joplin,](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** **Sources** https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4413488/ - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Home Care Joplin MO, Immobilized Seniors --- ### [Shaving Tips for the Elderly](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/shaving-tips-for-the-elderly/) **Published:** May 4, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Shaving is one of the tasks that many senior citizens have difficulty with. Part of the reason for this is due to their shaky hands or balance issues. **Content:** Shaving is one of the tasks that many senior citizens have difficulty with. Part of the reason for this is due to their shaky hands or balance issues. If your elderly loved one is struggling to shave any part of their body, they may need personal care at home services. These services can help with shaving and other hygiene or bathing-related tasks. ## Effective Shaving ![Personal Care at Home in Joplin, MO: Shaving Tips](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/bigstock-Portrait-of-smiling-senior-man-198879916-1-1-300x200.jpg)Personal Care at Home in Joplin, MO: Shaving TipsDoes your elderly loved one try to shave, but only get part of the hair off? Maybe, they can’t see whether they are getting all their hair or not. It could also be that your elderly loved one gets too sore to finish shaving, so they just leave the rest. If either of these things is happening or your elderly loved one is struggling to shave effectively for any other reason, you can hire home care providers to assist them with this hygiene and bathing-related tasks. ## Encourage Independence Another shaving tip for the elderly is to encourage independence. As long as your elderly loved one is able to do some of the shaving on their own, you should allow them to do so. For example, if they are able to shave the top part of their legs, but not the bottom, allow them to do as much as they can. Then, you or an elder care provider can help with the rest of the shaving. ## Use an Electric Razor There are many different types of razors available. However, most senior citizens have a difficult time using a basic 3 or 5-blade razor as they cut themselves often with it. The primary reason for this is because they have shaky hands or they aren’t steady when they are standing up and shaving. If your elderly loved one is having difficulties with this type of razor, it may be a good idea to get them an electric razor. There are even electric razors that have blade stoppers, so your elderly loved one can’t accidentally cut themselves. ## Plucking Instead of Shaving Does your elderly loved one usually shave their unibrow or upper lip? If this is the case, you may want to talk to them about plucking the final hairs instead of shaving them. It may be easier, especially if your elderly loved one has shaky hands. You could also get them personal care at home services, so a home care provider can help with the hair plucking, too. ## Conclusion These are some of the best shaving tips for the elderly. Now that you have these tips, you can help to reduce the number of times your elderly loved one accidentally cuts themselves while shaving. You can also make the shaving process easier for your elderly loved one from now on, too. If your elderly loved one doesn’t need someone to shave for them, but they just need someone to keep an eye on whether they are getting all their hair, you or an elderly care provider may want to do this for them, too. #### **If you or an aging loved-one is considering Personal Care at Home in [Joplin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** **Sources** https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/004005.htm - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** Personal Care at Home Joplin MO, Shaving Tips --- ### [Signs of Caregiver Stress and What to Do If You're Experiencing It](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/signs-of-caregiver-stress-and-what-to-do-if-youre-experiencing-it/) **Published:** January 5, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Per the American Psychological Association, 66.6% of unpaid caregivers report experiencing mental fatigue while caring for an older adult. **Content:** What is caregiver stress? Do you know the signs? Per the American Psychological Association, 66.6% of unpaid caregivers report experiencing mental fatigue while caring for an older adult. Nine out of ten of those caregivers are caring for an older family member. ### Favorite Activities Are No Longer Appealing ![](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/bigstock-Side-view-of-depressed-senior-198879922-1-300x200.jpg)Personal Care at Home in Webb City, MO: Signs of Caregiver StressDo you find yourself avoiding things you love to do? You no longer want to go out with friends. You don’t enjoy your favorite hobbies anymore. You have lost interest in many of the things that used to bring you joy. You could well be burned out. ### You Can’t Stop Worrying Constant worry is one sign of caregiver stress. If you can’t stop worrying that you’ve done the right thing or made the right decisions, it’s a sign that you’re overthinking things, which boosts anxiety. Sometimes, you need to stop the negative self-talk. If your brain has you thinking that you haven’t done enough, taken enough time to help your parents, or that you’ve forgotten something, you need to stop, take a breath, and regroup. ### Insomnia Keeps You Up You wake in the middle of the night and can’t shut off your brain. You end up staying awake and giving up trying to sleep. That leads to you feeling exhausted all day. Or, you can’t seem to want to get up each day. You feel an urgent desire to stay in bed and shut the world out. Insomnia and sleeping issues are common when you’re burned out. If you’re sleeping too much or too little, you need to stop and think about your role as a family caregiver. ### You’re Binge Eating or Not Eating Enough Are you eating too much or not eating enough? If you’re gaining weight or losing weight and not trying to do either, you should stop and consider the fact that you’re stressed. Stress eating can impact your weight. You may also be making poor nutritional choices. You’ve been at your parents’ all day. On the way home, it seems easier to get takeout than to go home and cook. Takeout is often high in saturated fat, sugar, and sodium, which isn’t the best when it comes to your nutritional needs. ### It’s Time to Look Into Having Help What do you do if you’re stressed? Look into the benefits of personal care at home aides for your parents. You can still help them out, but you need to balance their care with your need for a break. With [personal care at home](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), your parents have the support they need to remain independent while you have time for self-care. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering Personal Care at Home in Webb City, MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.

It is a fun and therapeutic practice that can significantly improve their quality of life. With [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) assistance, they can dance in the home safely or get transportation to a group class. Consider some of the best reasons why seniors should dance and how they can add more dance to their daily lives. #### Physical Dancing Benefits ### Improved Cardiovascular Health Cardiovascular health is better when seniors dance, even slowly. This is because dancing raises their heart rate, which is good for their heart, lowering their risk of heart disease and stroke. ### Increased Flexibility Dancing involves a lot of different moves that help seniors be more flexible. When seniors exercise regularly, their joints often become more flexible and less stiff. ### Strength Dancing uses many different muscle groups, which helps build body tone and strength. This can help seniors stand up straighter and keep their balance, making them less likely to fall. ### Weight Control Dancing is a fun way to burn calories. Seniors can keep their weight at a healthy level or even lose a few pounds by dancing regularly. ### Pain Management Conditions like arthritis cause constant pain in older people. Dance can help relieve pain by lubricating joints and making the body make more natural painkillers called endorphins. #### Mental Dancing Benefits ### Reducing Stress Dancing makes the body release serotonin, making seniors feel better and reducing stress. It also gives them a healthy way to express their feelings and improves their mental health. ### Cognitive Function Learning new dance steps is a challenge for the brain, which helps it work better and remember things. It can also keep diseases like dementia from getting worse. Seniors with home care assistance might also be able to practice their new moves in between classes or workouts. ### Socialization Dancing is often done in groups, which makes it easier to make friends and lessens the feeling of being alone. This kind of social interaction is good for mental health. ### Self-Esteem When seniors learn and master dance moves, they feel proud of themselves and increase their self-esteem. #### How Can Seniors Add More Dancing To Their Day Many places have dance classes for seniors to learn new dances, meet new people, and get the health benefits of group exercise. They can also dance at home by playing their favorite music and dancing around the house. This can be a fun way to keep moving and relieve stress. In addition, with the help of [**home care**](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/) assistance, they can also try new videos they might want to avoid trying by themselves due to balance issues. Essentially, home care aides can help keep them safe while working out. Dancing is an excellent practice for seniors because it helps them in many ways, including physically, mentally, and emotionally. Seniors can easily add more dance to their daily lives, whether through lessons or impromptu dance parties at home, with the help of home care assistance and loved ones. Simply put, dancing leads to a healthier life and better well-being. ### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [**home care** ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/)in **[Joplin, MO](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/home-care-in-joplin/),** please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today (417) 206-4576 ### Adelmo Family Care, providing exceptional home and facility care for seniors, disabled adults, and their families in Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Duquesne, Neosho, Carl Junction, Lamar, Newton County, MO, Jasper County, MO, Pittsburg, KS, Riverton, KS, Crawford County, KS, Cherokee County, KS and surrounding areas. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![John Good](http://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/john-good-owner-adelmo-family-care-joplin-mo.jpeg)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/ "John Good") [](https://www.facebook.com/AdelmoFamilyCare/ "Facebook") [John Good](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/jgood/) Owner at [Adelmo Family Care](https://adelmofc.com) John Good owns and operates Adelmo Family Care.

Most folks are wrapping up their job or planning their vacation preparations. It’s a busy time of year, with all the shopping, wrapping, hosting, and eating that goes into the Christmas season. Several things might divert seniors’ attention away from their health and hinder them from making the necessary progress. Most retirees are less active and prefer to stay indoors during winter. High-calorie snacks that make you feel wonderful for a short while may be a habit for you. Your mood and mental health may be negatively affected by several external causes, such as money problems, bad weather, and other stresses. When the weather outside is chilly and cold, it’s easy to forego your fitness routine in favor of a night in front of the fireplace. To help you stay warm, healthy, and happy this winter, we’ve compiled a list of 10 essential guidelines. Several things might divert seniors’ attention away from their health and hinder them from making the necessary progress. ## Think About Safety First ![In-Home Care Neosho, MO: Winter Health Tips ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/bigstock-Nurse-Wearing-Glasses-Taking-B-296807242-1-300x200.jpg)In-Home Care Neosho, MO: Winter Health TipsYou need to consider how you will keep your senior loved one warm and what could cause them to fall. The winter season’s freezing temperatures might provide substantial difficulties. Risks of hypothermia and frostbite increase in cold weather. After being out in the cold for too long, the skin may get frostbite or become painful. Humans generate less thermal energy as they age compared to their younger counterparts. It might be hard to discern if your body temperature drops too low. Many elderly people also struggle to maintain body heat because of underlying chronic diseases, including thyroid problems and diabetes. Serious consequences, such as heart attacks and organ failures, may be brought on by hypothermia. You or in-home care must figure out how to help keep a senior warm throughout the colder months. For seniors, slips and falls may happen anytime and can result in serious injuries. Winter is one of the most dangerous season for falling and slipping due to snow and ice. The risk of spillage may be greatly reduced by taking the essential safeguards. Driveways, pathways, stairs, and sidewalks may be made slip-free with sand, cat litter, or road salts. Invest in a good pair of shoes with nonslip soles and good grip to reduce the likelihood of falling. If there’s ice or snow outdoors, you may want to stay indoors. ## Focus on Healthy Food Choices Winter weather may increase your risk of some injuries, but a lack of regular activity and a nutritious diet are the greatest threats to your health. You may be unable to go outside and exercise due to the gloomy and cold weather. In addition, it’s difficult to stick to a normal shopping routine throughout the winter. Eating healthfully is more challenging when you’re cooped up indoors for long periods. Finding a helping hand throughout the winter months to assist with meal planning and execution. Proper nutrition is essential to good health, and [in-home care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/service-levels/) may help ensure patients get what they need. ## Keep Exercising to Stay Healthy It may be difficult for seniors, particularly those who use private home care services, to maintain an exercise routine. Research has shown, however, that being active and eating well may keep you healthy throughout the winter. Recent advances in technology have enabled access to senior-friendly exercise routines on the internet. Going for a stroll in the park or along the street is another option when the weather is nice. **If you or an aging loved-one is considering [In-Home Care in Neosho](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/), MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.** - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") [vvanbooven](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/) [![vvanbooven](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b028a40d095d4c1e4a23d6db16b909d83e1848e2c227c586b07d86364a74de1a?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/ "vvanbooven") Latest posts by vvanbooven ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/vvanbooven/)) - [Spring Fling Party at Carl Junction Residential Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/spring-fling-party-at-carl-junction-residential-care/) – May 11, 2023 - [Walk to End Alzheimer’s](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-6/) – May 11, 2023 - [7 Facts About Senior Home Care](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/7-facts-about-senior-home-care/) – May 9, 2023 **Categories:** Seniors and Health Issues **Tags:** In-Home Care Neosho MO, Winter Health Tips --- ### [Walk to End Alzheimer's](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/walk-to-end-alzheimers-3/) **Published:** October 11, 2022 **Author:** vvanbooven **Excerpt:** Our walk to end Alzheimer’s at Mercy Park in Joplin was a great success!

If so, or even if they have another type of mental health condition such as schizophrenia, they may suffer from hallucinations and/or delusions. **Content:** Has your elderly loved one been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease? If so, or even if they have another type of mental health condition such as schizophrenia, they may suffer from hallucinations and/or delusions. As a family caregiver, it can be extremely helpful to learn more about both of these issues. That way, you are not only better prepared for when they happen, but you can get your elderly loved one the proper help from elder care providers, as well. ### Proper Management of Delusions ![](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bigstock-Schizophrenia-in-word-collage-30467492-1-300x297.jpg)Elder Care Neosho, MO: Hallucinations and DelusionsThere are many people who have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease that suffer from delusions. These are the beliefs that cause someone to act out in certain ways. For example, your elderly loved one may believe they have insects crawling under their skin, even though there is medical proof that isn’t the case. No matter how many times they go to the doctor, they are still likely going to believe that this is the case. Sometimes, the delusions may go away, especially if their doctor can get them on the proper medications. However, many people who have Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, will forget to take their medications. If your elderly loved one has medications they are supposed to take, you or the [elder care providers](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/contact-us/) should remind them to take those. Hopefully, by doing so, that will lessen the severity of the delusions. It may also be beneficial for you to know that these delusions are most common in the middle to end stages of Alzheimer’s disease. If you have been trying to help your elderly loved one with their delusions, but it is becoming too much, don’t feel bad. You can hire home care providers to step up and help. ### Proper Management of Hallucinations There are also many people who have Alzheimer’s disease and other health conditions that suffer from hallucinations. These occur when a person thinks they are going through something that isn’t the reality. For instance, your elderly loved one may keep thinking there is someone upstairs in their house, when really, there isn’t. Unfortunately, just like with the delusions, no matter what you say, it can be tough to talk them out of the hallucination. With that being said, there are times when your elderly loved one may not have the hallucinations and other times when they may be worse. If your elderly loved one is having hallucinations, you or an elder care provider should make sure they see their doctor. There may be medications the doctor can give as a prescription to help reduce the severity or amount of hallucinations your elderly loved one has. If they do get a prescription, you or a home care provider will need to give reminders for them to keep taking it each day. ### Conclusion Does your elderly loved one have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease? If so, do they have delusions or hallucinations? These can be very difficult to manage. Learning more about them, as you did above, can help you, the elderly care providers, and the doctors to work together to help your elderly loved one to lessen or manage the delusions or hallucinations. #### If you or an aging loved-one is considering [Elder Care in Neosho,](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/service-levels/) MO please contact the caring staff at Adelmo Family Care today at (417) 206-4576.

[ Get Started ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/get-started/) ### Reviews From our Clients When I first became acquainted with Joni & John Good of Adelmo Family Care LLC I thought their business was a needed service for elder care. I never imagined that I would be in need of their services! But I did have need for the support services that Adelmo offers. Adelmo offers in home support services for senior citizens who are still in their home but who cannot handle some of the day-to day tasks like meal preparation and light house work. But more importantly, they offer companionship to their clients. This companionship has been an important element to my mother. Adelmo’s assistance with tasks and the companionship they offer helps their clients remain more independent. **Adelmo Family Care** truly offers a service that is invaluable to their clients. I trust everyday that my Motheris assisted in her daily routine by a caring compassionate friend. You may not need their services today, but trust me, if you do, Adelmo is the BEST choice to help families. **-M.G.** We have used **Adelmo** home care services for my Mother since June, 2010 following her return from full nursing home care to her own apartment after a bad fall. She has recovered from her fall, however she had slower mobility skills and as always her ongoing hygiene and personal living needs. With the added companionship from a genuine and loving caregiver from Adelmo, it truly has made her life consistently better, cleaner, and less worrisome for her family. Our competent caregiver from Adelmo is a loyal friend, a reliable companion, and provides vital support to us, her family. We trust her and Adelmo to inform us as needed of any problems to be dealt with and medical or personal issues to be addressed. We have experienced constant guidance and leadership in the care of my Mother making our life less stressful and more comfortable that she has excellent care in meeting her daily needs. I would highly recommend using the Adelmo Home Care Services for family member assistance whatever the need or circumstances might be at the time. **– D.F.** [ Read our Testimonials ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/testimonials/) ##### For the last 12 years we have received notifications, for both Employer and Provider, that we are among the best home care companies in America. ![provider of choice 2023](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/provider-of-choice-2023.png) ![employer of choice 2023](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/employer-of-choice-2023.png) ![2022-Provider-of-Choice-copy-285x300](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2022-Provider-of-Choice-copy-285x300-1.png) ![2022-employer-of-choice_high-res](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2022-employer-of-choice_high-res.png) ![Award_Logo__Provider_Of_Choice](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Award_Logo__Provider_Of_Choice.svg) 2021 ![Award_Logo__Employer_Of_Choice](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Award_Logo__Employer_Of_Choice.svg) 2021 ![Award_Logo__Provider_Of_Choice](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Award_Logo__Provider_Of_Choice.svg) 2020 ![Award_Logo__Employer_Of_Choice](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Award_Logo__Employer_Of_Choice.svg) 2020 ## Adelmo Family Care brings peace of mind to families in Joplin MO.

He lives on a small acreage north of Webb City and has lived in the area since 1972. John started Adelmo Family Care in 2009 when he saw a need to be filled. He felt that the area needed a quality, locally run agency that would focus on three key ingredients; compassion, professionalism and independence. To provide the safest and most qualified caregivers, John felt it was important to properly screen and train caregivers before they were invited into the homes of the families being care for. No caregiver is introduced to a client before being taught the Adelmo Standard. Adelmo is German for Noble Protector, a name that projects what Adelmo Family Care strives to be. It is our goal to protect our elderly from having to move somewhere they do not want to go, while remaining safe, secure and independent. Care is our Product and Independence is our Goal. We are there for you when you need to have some help to continue to live independently, at your direction, in your home. We will work with you to get you as fit as possible so you may become completely independent once again, if at all possible.

The reasons have to do with tradition, with technology, and with cost effectiveness. Home care is the oldest form of healthcare – and it is also the “newest.” Modern technology has developed to the point where many services that are available in the hospital can be provided at home. There is significant evidence that it is less costly than other forms of care, and that it is the most satisfying form of health care available to the American public. It is an idea whose time has come. - It is delivered at home. There are such positive feelings that all of us associate with being home. When we are not feeling well, most of us ask to go home. When we are feeling well, we enjoy the sanctity of our residences and the joy of being with our loved ones. - Home care keeps families together. There is no more important social value. It is particularly important in times of illness. - Home care serves to keep the elderly independent. None of us want to be totally dependent and helpless. With some assistance, seniors can continue to function as viable members of society. - Home care prevents or postpones institutionalization. Few patients choose to be placed in a nursing home, unless it’s the only place where they can obtain the 24-hour care that they need. - Home care promotes healing. There is abundant evidence that patients heal more quickly at home. - Home care allows a maximum amount of freedom for the individual. Hospitals and nursing homes offer more regimented, regulated environments. Home care offers a reassuring, individualized setting. - Home care is personalized care. Home care is tailored to the needs of each individual. It is delivered on a one-to-one basis. - Home care involves the individual and the family in the care that is delivered. The patient and his family are taught to participate in their health care. They are taught how to get well, and how to stay that way. - Home care reduces stress. Unlike most forms of health care which can increase anxiety and stress, home care frequently has the opposite effect. - Home care is one of the most effective forms of health care. There is very high consumer satisfaction associated with care delivered in the home. - Home care is an efficient form of health care. By bringing health services home, the patient does not generate board and room expenses. The patient and/or his family supply the food and tend to the individual’s other needs. Technology now has developed to the point where many services, once only available in a hospital, can be offered at home. - Home care is given by special people. By and large, employees of home care agencies look at their work, not as a job or profession, but as a calling. Home care workers are highly trained and dedicated to their work. - Home care is, in many cases, less expensive than other forms of care. The evidence is convincing that, for many services, home care is less expensive than other forms of care. In general, home care costs only one-tenth as much as hospitalization and only one-fourth as much as nursing home placement to deal with comparable health problems. - Home care extends life. A study by the U.S. General Accounting Office has established that people receiving home care tend to live longer and have a better quality of life. Home care helps not only add years to life, but “life to years.” - Home care is the preferred form of care, even for individuals who are terminally ill. There is a growing public acceptance and demand for hospice care, which is home care for individuals who are terminally ill. #### ## Professional Affiliations Adelmo Family Care is proud to be affiliated with the following organizations, all of which validate our adherence to the highest levels of quality service, ethical values, and best practices in our community and the industry. ![HomeCare-Final_color-1024x182](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HomeCare-Final_color-1024x182-1-300x53.jpg) Home care choices can be difficult.

[ About Us ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/about-us/) ## Services Included in Personal Care The services included in personal care at home typically involve assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing and dressing. These services are designed to help individuals maintain their personal hygiene and appearance while receiving care in the comfort of their own homes. Some specific services that may be included in personal care at home are: 1. **Bathing:** This includes assisting the individual with taking a bath or shower, ensuring their safety and privacy. 2. **Dressing:** Personal care providers can help individuals with choosing appropriate clothing, dressing and undressing, and maintaining their personal style. 3. **Grooming:** This involves assistance with hair care, oral hygiene, shaving, and other personal grooming tasks. ## How Does Personal Care Benefit the Family Caregiver When a senior loved one receives assistance with personal care, it allows you, as a family caregiver, to take a break and have some time for yourself. This respite is essential for maintaining your own physical and mental well-being. **Here are three ways in which personal care at home benefits the family caregiver:** 1. **Relief from the daily caregiving responsibilities:** Senior home care services provide trained professionals who can assist with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. This allows the family caregiver to have some time off from these duties and recharge. 2. **Peace of mind regarding incontinence care:** Incontinence can be a challenging aspect of caregiving. With home care help, trained caregivers can provide discreet and compassionate assistance with incontinence management, reducing the caregiver’s stress and worry. 3. **Support in managing other responsibilities:** With personal care assistance, the family caregiver can focus on other important aspects of caregiving, such as medical appointments, medication management, and emotional support for their loved one. Overall, personal care at home not only benefits the senior receiving care but also provides much-needed respite and support for the family caregiver. ## Who Benefits from Personal Care at Home?

[ About Us ](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/about-us/) ## Types of Dementia When caring for a loved one with cognitive decline, dementia, and memory loss, it’s important to understand the different types and how they can impact their daily life. Dementia is a progressive condition that affects cognition, memory, and behavior. Here are three common types of dementia: 1. **Alzheimer’s Disease:** This is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases. It causes a gradual decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. People with Alzheimer’s may experience confusion, mood swings, and difficulty with daily tasks. 2. **Vascular Dementia:** This type of dementia occurs when blood flow to the brain is reduced, leading to cognitive impairment. It often results from stroke or other conditions that damage blood vessels in the brain. Symptoms can include problems with concentration, planning, and decision-making. 3. **Lewy Body Dementia:** This type of dementia is characterized by abnormal protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, in the brain. It can cause fluctuations in cognitive abilities, visual hallucinations, and motor symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease. Understanding the specific type of dementia your loved one has can help guide their care at home and ensure their care needs are met with compassion and expertise. ## Stages of Dementia The stages of dementia can vary in duration and severity, affecting individuals differently. Dementia is a progressive condition that primarily affects memory, but can also impact cognitive abilities, behavior, and daily functioning. - **In the early stages,** individuals may experience mild memory loss and difficulty with concentration and problem-solving. - As **dementia progresses**, memory loss becomes more severe, and individuals may struggle with language, recognize familiar faces, and perform routine tasks. - In **late-stage dementia**, individuals may require assistance with activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, and toileting. Providing care for people with dementia requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the changing needs of the individual. Caregivers need to be knowledgeable about the different stages of dementia, empathetic towards the challenges faced by individuals and their families, and detail-oriented in providing personalized care to promote safety, comfort, and quality of life. ## Non-Medical Companion Care Our compassionate caregivers provide non-medical companion care to enhance the daily lives of individuals with dementia in need of in-home care.

Before commencing the respite care service, the caregivers take the time to assess the care recipient’s requirements, medical condition, and lifestyle. They involve the family in the process, understanding the care recipient’s routines, likes, and dislikes. This attention to detail ensures that the care provided aligns perfectly with the person’s specific needs, promoting a sense of comfort and trust between the care recipient and the caregiver. 2. **Comfort and Familiarity:** Moving to a new environment can be daunting and unsettling, especially for elderly or disabled individuals. In-home respite care allows care recipients to stay in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by familiar surroundings and cherished possessions. Being in a space they know well helps reduce anxiety and stress, enabling them to feel more at ease.

Knowing that their loved one is in capable hands during the respite period gives caregivers the reassurance they need to take time for themselves without feeling guilty. 4. **Professional Support:** The caregivers at **Adelmo Family Care** are not only compassionate but also highly skilled and experienced in providing care for individuals with various medical conditions and disabilities.

Social interaction is vital for combating feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can often be a concern for individuals receiving care at home. The caregivers at **Adelmo Family Care** go beyond just providing physical support; they engage the care recipient in meaningful conversations, participate in hobbies and recreational activities together, and offer companionship. These interactions not only promote mental stimulation but also contribute to the care recipient’s overall happiness and sense of connection with others. 6. **Peace of Mind:** Perhaps one of the most valuable benefits of **Adelmo Family Care**‘s in-home respite care is the peace of mind it offers to family caregivers.

The cost of respite care at home can vary based on several factors, including the location, level of care required, and duration of service. It’s essential for families to discuss the pricing structure and any additional fees with the chosen respite care provider to ensure transparency and avoid any surprises. The cost may also depend on whether the respite care is provided by an individual caregiver or through a professional agency like **Adelmo Family Care**. Agencies often provide trained and experienced caregivers, which may reflect in the overall cost but offer greater peace of mind. If you are an overwhelmed family caregiver, respite care can help. Are respite care services available during weekends and holidays? Yes, respite care services are available during weekends and holidays. Caregiving responsibilities don’t take a break, and neither do the needs of the care recipients.

The availability of respite care during weekends and holidays can be a true godsend for family caregivers, as it allows them to take time off to rest, attend social gatherings, or participate in holiday celebrations without worrying about their loved one’s well-being.

Short-term respite care sessions are suitable for caregivers who need brief breaks to run errands, attend appointments, or simply take some time for themselves. For more extended periods of respite, such as a full day or overnight, caregivers can arrange for continuous care to have more extensive relief. By accommodating various timeframes, respite care ensures that family caregivers can find the best schedule that suits their needs while maintaining the care recipient’s comfort and well-being. Can I choose a specific respite care provider or agency to work with? Yes, individuals have the flexibility to choose a specific respite care provider or agency to work with.

Before beginning services, we need to know more about you. We begin with a complimentary assessment to determine your care needs. We start the process by conducting an in-depth assessment of you or your loved one’s lifestyle, medical conditions and the kind of assistance needed that will help them to remain independent at home. We will meet with you and your family and jointly determine the scope of care. During the meeting, we explain fully the services available, answer any additional questions, and help with the important care decisions faced by the family with a loved one in need. **Issues covered include the following:** - Matching the appropriate caregiver - Daily routines - Health and medication issues - Emergency response - Nutritional issues - Home cleaning issues - Transportation needs - Costs of services After meeting with the senior or family, a customized and comprehensive Care Plan is developed to meet the physical, psychological and social needs of the senior and the family. We take a holistic approach to matching the best caregiver with your loved one, taking into account such important elements as the senior’s needs and personality. Moreover, ongoing follow-up supervision ensures that the care plan is well-implemented and that the senior’s changing needs are met with diligence. We are always mindful of family finances, and we can create a care plan that meets almost anyone’s budget. **So don’t delay – take advantage of this no-obligation opportunity to assess your needs and discover how we can significantly improve your life and the life of your loved one.

Call to learn more. **Content:** # Frequently Asked Questions How quickly can services be provided? If needed we can generally provide services within an hour. We are very responsive to your needs and it is not always possible to predict when you will need care. Since we always try to match the caregiver to the client from a personality standpoint, the more notice we have before services start the better a job we can do for you. What are the costs for your services? We are not the cheapest service in the area, but we are also not the most expensive, though you will feel like we provide the most elite service once you start with us. Because all services and schedules are tailored to the needs of the client, and with the array of Adelmo services to choose from for each client, the services needed and that cost are determined at the initial consultation meeting. There is no charge for the consultation visit. Currently in SW Missouri Companies charge between $19 and $21 an hour for their base service. So, you can see there is not a lot of difference in pricing. For a 5 hour shift you are talking a $10 difference. You need to be comfortable with the company you are going to work with. Some other companies I’ve called have quoted me a low base rate, but then they add on additional charges if the coverage I need is on a weekend, or if it is after 5 p.m., or if it is less than an 8 hour block. Do you do this? No. Once your rate is determined, it is always the same whether you are receiving service on days, nights, weekdays or weekends. We feel that this is the simplest fee schedule for our clients, their families and us to understand. There are no hidden charges. This way the client is never surprised. The only exception is if you receive service on a major holiday (i.e., Christmas, Easter, etc.), in which case a higher rate is charged for that day. A friend of mine said it might be cheaper to hire someone through an ad in the newspaper. Should I do this? Outwardly it is often cheaper to hire an independent caregiver from an ad or even from an employment agency, but ultimately it could be the most expensive decision you have ever made. While there are many good, independent caregivers there are also risks involved First of all, this person will probably not be bonded should any of your valuables turn up missing. They will also likely not be insured for liability within your home so if the caregiver is injured while in your employ, you would be liable for medical care and any disability. Furthermore, if the person is not reporting their income, you may be held liable for payroll taxes by the government. As well, you could be liable for unemployment benefits should you ever discontinue your relationship with that caregiver. In addition to all this, you would have the responsibility of finding a replacement if the caregiver gets sick or otherwise cannot be there for you. And finally, there is no guarantee that they are properly trained to provide professional, trustworthy service to you or your loved one. At Adelmo Family Care, this is provided as part of the caregiver’s employment by us. Are your caregivers experienced? Absolutely! They are all experienced and receive additional training upon being hired. We have excellent caregivers who truly have a passion for providing care and they are OUR employees, thoroughly interviewed, screened and background/referenced checked (state and national), trained and oriented, bonded and insured. Many of our caregivers have nurses aide training as well. In addition, we look for caregivers who have had the life experiences of raising their own children as well as caring for their parents or grandparents at some point in the past. We feel that these experiences are invaluable and one of the guiding philosophies of our founders is that they will never hire someone that they wouldn’t have felt comfortable placing with their own parents. Do your caregivers get additional and specialized training? All of our caregivers receive continuous mandatory training using a comprehensive, nationally recognized, online training program specifically tailored for in-home caregivers. The topics covered range from basic skills to infection prevention and control, to bathing, personal grooming, as well as the body mechanics of lifting. All of the on-line training is augmented by on-site, hands-on training for many specialized skills. May I meet my caregiver before our first day together? Yes. Adelmo Family Care can arrange for an introduction by our Client Relations Manager for you and your caregiver to meet prior to beginning services. But we pride ourselves on our ability to match you with a caregiver that will be a good match for you. As with all things the more time we have before beginning services with you the better we are at matching a caregiver to you and your situation. If you call us at noon for a 2:00pm discharge from the hospital we have a lower success rate at matching our clients and caregivers as would be expected. But at any time while we are providing services if you do not like your caregiver another can be brought in. Will I always have the same caregiver? Adelmo Family Care makes every effort to send the caregiver with whom you are familiar. If your regular caregiver is unable to work a scheduled shift due to illness or some other emergency, we will provide a suitable substitute. Naturally, we will keep you informed of any changes. Our goal is to establish a long-term match between client and caregiver, and to keep the same caregiver with a client as long as the client is satisfied. This is based upon our experience that developing a strong rapport and trust with your caregiver is a vital component to a successful home care experience. In short, we want to avoid the “revolving door” of caregivers. However, for very practical reasons this is dependent on the level and frequency of service. We always want to have, at least, one back-up that you know. Why should I choose your service over another in my area? Adelmo Family Care has achieved an excellent reputation as a top-quality caregiver service. Our growth has been due primarily to word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients and their families. We remain in close contact with our clients, families and caregivers to ensure your satisfaction with all aspects of your care. We are celebrating our tenth year of serving the community and there is no other agency that is as responsive, compassionate and flexible as Adelmo. We take pride in having the finest, best trained and most responsible caregivers in the industry. What areas do you serve? Our office is in Joplin Missouri, but we have caregivers that can serve many communities in Southwest Missouri and Southeast Kansas. Are you a local or a national company? Adelmo Family Care is locally owned and operated. Our founder and owner is John H. Good, who has lived in Joplin since 1972. May I receive your services in other settings besides my home? Yes. Adelmo Family Care provides services in nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, assisted living facilities and other settings. Is Adelmo Family Care a Registry/Referral Service? No. All caregivers are employees of Adelmo Family Care Will Medicare or my private insurance reimburse for your services? No.. Our duties are non-medical so, Medicare, Medicaid or other health insurance plans do not cover in-home care. Adelmo Family Care is a private-pay caregiver service. Many long term Care insurance policies will cover our services. Will my Long Term Care Insurance cover your services? In most cases, Long Term Care Insurance does reimburse for our services. We will be happy to work with you to determine the eligibility requirements of your particular insurance company. We have become quite adept at understanding the terms of various LTC policies and have been able to assist our clients in getting through the red tape. For former US servicemen/servicewomen, the Veterans Administration offers a homecare benefit called the “Aid & Attendance” pension. Ask us for more information. Are there benefits available to help pay for Adelmo’s services? The Veterans Administration has an “Aid and Attendance” benefit available for veterans of war. In Missouri the Masons and Eastern Star have a benefit available, check with your local lodge secretary. Will someone from your company come to my home to conduct an initial assessment? Yes. Adelmo Family Care conducts an initial needs consultation in order to get to know you and see how you like things done in your home. Information regarding your health issues, the services you require and your emergency contacts will be obtained at this time We refer to this initial visit as a consultation because we are interested in providing you as many of the alternative options as possible so you can choose what is best for you or your loved one.. Do I need to sign a contract? Adelmo Family Care has a basic service agreement that is to be signed prior to beginning services. This agreement can be cancelled, for any reason, with two weeks notice. Can I change my services and/or my schedule after I sign the service agreement? Yes. Simply call our office with any changes you would like to make. Our philosophy is to make the schedule work for the family. You come first. Your needs, your requests, your schedule. We will do everything possible to make sure the schedule you want is the schedule you get. In addition, we will make periodic reassessments to determine if the level of care should be increased, reduced or stay the same. We will then discuss our recommendations with the client and the family to determine the best course of action. Will I be able to reach a supervisor at any time? Yes. Adelmo Family Care provides access to an on-call supervisor 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. How does your scheduling work? You choose the hours you need. We provide as little as 60 minutes or less a visit or up to 24/7 coverage. How is billing handled? Clients are sent an invoice bi-weekly and payment can be made through a check or we can do an automated withdraw from your checking account for the amount of you current billing. Can your caregivers provide transportation? Yes. Our caregivers can drive to doctors’ appointments, senior centers or any other place. If driving your vehicle, there is no extra charge to your hourly or daily rate. If you require the caregiver to drive his or her own vehicle, you are billed a standard per-mileage rate. - [Author](#abh_about) - [Recent Posts](#abh_posts) [ ![superadmin](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a938c88339d6a5037b4badd5be9cef1f4772dc5196cb9b2aa695960724b8e9ee?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/superadmin/ "superadmin") [superadmin](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/superadmin/) [![superadmin](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a938c88339d6a5037b4badd5be9cef1f4772dc5196cb9b2aa695960724b8e9ee?s=250&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/superadmin/ "superadmin") Latest posts by superadmin ([see all](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/author/superadmin/)) --- ### [Thank You Get Started](https://www.adelmofamilycare.com/thank-you-get-started/) **Published:** February 28, 2021 **Author:** superadmin **Excerpt:** Thank you for leaving a testimonial **Content:** # Thank You ## We're glad you're ready to get started.
