When you consider that, on average, seniors with chronic conditions fill 50 different prescriptions annually, it is not difficult to imagine how someone could get confused when a new medication is added to their regimen. Caregivers can not only remind seniors to take medications as prescribed, but they can also help seniors keep a list of those medications and their dosages so the information is readily available for healthcare professionals. Managing medications is one of the best ways a caregiver can help seniors. Let us help: 712.256.5800

Have you considered getting a pet? Great news! As we get older, maintaining a routine becomes increasingly important, and pets thrive on routine and require regular feeding, exercise, and care. Having a pet encourages seniors to establish and adhere to a daily schedule. This structured routine provides a sense of purpose and helps seniors maintain cognitive abilities and mental alertness. Caring for a pet's needs helps seniors maintain a sense of responsibility and control, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Unusual skin growths often happen in areas regularly exposed to the sun. Many doctors include a skin check as part of a regular exam and recommend monthly home checks as well. Here are a few things to look for when checking the skin at home:

✅ A new mole or growth on the skin that is a weird shape or has different colors or shades
✅ Any mole or growth that changes in size, shape, or color
✅ A mole or growth that is larger than a pencil eraser
✅ A sore that does not heal within a few weeks
✅ A spot or growth that is itchy, painful, or bleeds

While not all skin changes or growths are cancerous, having any concerns checked out by a doctor as soon as possible is always a good idea. If you need assistance getting yourself to an appointment, we can help. Just call the office: 712.256.5800
