If you’re in the caregiving position you know it is a full-time job, and balancing the needs of another person plus your well-being is an ongoing challenge.

As individuals age, it's natural to require some extra support and care. We know when it comes to deciding the type of care that an elderly person needs, the options can be overwhelming. Learn about assisted living, nursing home, and home care options here.

Caring for an elderly loved one is a full-time job that requires consideration of each and every detail of the patient’s daily life. But what about long-distance caregiving?

In recent years, online shopping has only grown more popular, allowing anyone to access meals, clothing, medication, and a range of services right from their own home.

If you’re providing unpaid care to another adult with health needs, you’re not alone. In fact, almost one in five people serve as home caregivers in the United States, and the number is rising.

Aging in place is about keeping older adults connected to their home and community while also catering to their health and safety needs.

Each room in the home poses its own unique safety risks. When choosing to age at home, seniors should have important living room safety measures in place in order to continue living safely and independently.

The kitchen is considered the heart of the home but it is also a room that is filled with safety risks, especially for those aging at home and who may be experiencing a decline in vision, mobility, strength, balance, coordination, or cognitive function. 

Bedroom safety for seniors is important as falls are the leading cause of injury in the elderly, resulting in over 2.8 million emergency department hospital admissions annually. Since we spend a significant amount of our lives sleeping, bedroom safety for seniors should be a high priority consideration for family caregivers and others caring for an elderly person.
