From Kimberly, writing about her grandmother who lives in Ohio:
“My grandma has been an essential constant in my life. These days, I just want her to feel loved, the way she made me feel when she served me “sugar toast” at her kitchen table late at night or spent days sitting with me at her dining room table tracing our ancestor’s roots and telling me stories, long before the internet came long.”

HomeInstead Reunion Contest – Finalist Kelly’s Story

The three finalists in the Home Instead Senior Care^® network’s “I Will Remember For You Family Reunion Giveaway” Contest have shared their stories about how Alzheimer’s has impacted their lives and why memories are important to their families. The entries are tributes to the importance of family unity and the power of memories to help individuals with dementia and their families cope with the reality of the disease. Here are snippets from their poignant experiences:

From Kelly, honoring her father who lives in Kansas:
“Alzheimer’s has impacted my family and me in ways that are unimaginable and painful. I’ve become the parent of an 8-year-old who is 83, and he’s my dad. Dad was a very successful farmer and single-handedly ran a dairy farm with no more than an eighth-grade education. With Alzheimer’s came our grief, but now we can feel his own loss of himself, his own confusion. He is still our rock. He is the foundation of our family.”

From Janice, describing her father who lives in Ohio:
“A Tuskegee Airman during World War II, my 87-year-old father has been the glue that has held the family together . . . Just as he was determined to grow the best lawn on the street, Daddy was even more determined to grow the best family he could. Although Daddy never realized his dream of going to college, he enabled his whole family to have a fertile life by supporting our efforts to get to college, including my mother, who has a master’s degree.”

Baby Boomers. How Will You Live?

Changing the Face of Aging

As a senior-care professional, you’ve witnessed firsthand the many challenges of aging. But those “golden” years likely will look vastly different for the generations that will be joining the ranks of seniors in the years to come.

After all, the generation ready to embark on their senior years has been writing their own story since day one. They are the generation that led the charge to change the way society looked at so many things from civil and women’s rights to space exploration to technology.

Generations before them may have faced their senior years with apprehension, but not so for those trail-blazers waiting to join the senior ranks. They’ve changed everything else about our world. Now they have the opportunity to change the face of aging. Perhaps you are among them or even younger. Regardless of your age, here’s your chance to tell it like it is, or like it should be. The Home Instead Senior Care® network wants to help you spread the word.

Based on your experience working with older adults, what do you hope for as you move into those “golden” years? A cure for Alzheimer’s disease? To work until you die? To vacation until you die? To look great? To remain at home with a good quality of life? We want to know what you think.

The Home Instead Senior Care network produced and just released a video that will provide you and others in your generation the opportunity to share ideas about aging and how you see yourself growing older.

Changing the perception of aging is important to a senior-care leader such as Home Instead Senior Care. That’s because Home Instead values the contributions that older adults have made to our world. The organization also knows that planning for their senior years is an important key to aging independently.

We invite you to participate and share the conversations that will make a difference in how aging is perceived for your generation and those you care about. Go to www.homeinsteadsd.wordpress.com and tell us how you will change the way you age!

Loss of Attention Signals & Environmental Clues (Caring for the Entire Senior – Part 3 of 5)

Loss of attention signals and environmental clues may show your senior loved one is suffering the effects of aging. These signals can be in everyday activities like driving or in smaller clues in everyday tasks. All of these environmental clues point to the fact that something needs to be done to help your loved one remain independent.
