Transportation for elders can ease driving transition
Most of us with aging relatives will eventually face the “how do we stop them from driving” problem. To many people, driving a car equals independence. One reason for that is the lack of convenient public transportation in much of our country. Very large American cities such as New York, plus most of Europe’s large cities, generally have good public transportation, so people who don’t drive aren’t stranded. But across the country, accessible More >
Well Spouse Association has unique caregiver focus
Throughout my years of writing about caregiving, I’ve often recommended the Well Spouse Association as a resource for spousal caregivers.
As a family caregiver who spent two decades in varying caregiving roles for a total of seven elders, I’ve endured a lot of emotional upset. While none of my own caregiving was spousal in focus, I did observe my mother, and my mother-in-law, in their spousal caregiver roles. I was the More >
Betty White advises us not to vegetate or isolate if we are to stay sharp
White, who is kicking 90, really hit her stride after she turned 50, and has never slowed down. She’s even hosted Saturday Night Live. White stars in TV Land’s Hot In Cleveland, and is now the face of a new AARP campaign telling people to just “get over it,” when it comes to aging. During a different interview, she said, “I’m swimming as fast as I can,” referring to her work life. It’s evident that White seems to be able to swim pretty More >
“Understanding Well-being in the Oldest Old” highlights culture change in eldercare
Decades ago, few people lived to be 85 years old, or older. However, now, the fastest growing segment of our population is a group of people often referred to by professionals as the “very old.” The definition of “the very old” or the “oldest old” is people aged 85 and above, many of whom live in care facilities.
These aged people have largely been ignored by many as a group that is too old to really live. In many cases, apart from groups More >
Information essential to make an informed decision about tube feeding of dementia patients
One of the most agonizing decisions families might face can be whether or not to request or approve of a feeding tube for a loved one who is near death. Are we “playing God” by denying tube feeding to our dying loved one as long as he or she can be kept comfortable, or are we “playing God” by requesting tube feeding, with or without medical agreement?
If the dying person left plain instructions about end-of-life medical care, More >
Compound derived from tobacco shows promise in Alzheimer’s treatment
As a lifelong non-smoker, it feels odd to write something positive about tobacco, however encouraging research is showing that the nicotine from tobacco could be the base for a compound that may prevent or cure Alzheimer’s disease. That news is, indeed, positive.
A study led by researchers at Bay Pines VA Healthcare System and the University of South Florida, has found that, in mice models, a tobacco-derived compound called More >
