Seems like a very helpful option for some people BUT -- please ask your primary physician before you get this. Sometimes, prescription meds can react poorly to something seemingly safe.

Too busy to call your loved one's primary physician? Have his Home Care Aide do it--that's what our visiting Angels do.

There are many older adults who are hundreds of miles away from family and friends. Many times, our Visiting Angels Home Care Aides are the only source of human interaction for them which can lead to a slippery slope into loneliness, depression, and a host of other issues. Many don't like to eat alone, or don't want to drive any more so they may even find themselves not eating as they should. This post shares some ideas, if you or your loved one need to fight isolation.

Senior Centers in the area are great places to visit and get involved in, by the way. The hospitals always welcome volunteers. Local organizations have events you can go to alone-the Elks Lodge members, for example, have weekly dinners you can attend to (with or without a partner). Rotary Clubs have lunches and many events.

But if you are more into one-on-one interactions, say hello to your neighbor...or if you could use the help of a visitor at least twice a week, think of our Visiting Angels! They're the type of companion who could also help you with personal care, light housekeeping, errands, etc. At least have a pet (they are great conversation starters). Just don't go into isolation...

It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. 💙

"For Bill’s 88th birthday, our Angel Gloria went above and beyond—baking him a homemade apple pie and preparing a full birthday spread with chili, coleslaw, macaroni salad, and pork chops. To make it even sweeter, Bill and his wife’s church choir joined in and brought a feast of Filipino favorites, turning the celebration into a true community buffet."

Inflammation can cause havoc. Imagine eating something yummy and fun to help fight inflammation. It IS possible. Could it get rid of your pain? Maybe not altogether but hey, if you give me a fun snack and lessen whatever pain I have, you'd be on my best friend list--lol. This is a win-win for those who love to snack on unhealthy stuff. Sugar causes inflammation so instead of reaching out for the chocolate bar, our Home Care Aides at Visiting Angels make a wager with our in-home clients and have them try one of these anti-inflammatory yummies. How can you resist, right?

This would be a good snack option for someone who wants high power to help lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels and enjoy a long list of benefits. It can even help with weight management. This is the type of snacks our Home Care Aides have introduced to our in-home clients. It's the little things that count, and remember how chain reaction works--you make one good change, and perhaps another and you will find yourself enjoying better health!

Call us if you or your loved one could use a "health champion"--that is what our caregivers are. Imagine someone who can help you do better, follow doctor's instructions, remind you of your meds, be your personal assistant and help monitor your appointments AND on top of all that, be a fun companion who takes you out on errands (or just a joy ride), takes you to your appointments and takes notes of what your doctor suggests...now make that picture real and call us - we can talk about how a Home Care Aide can enhance your day-to-day life!

Congratulations to Mike Kelley of Visiting Angels Plant City, FL, and his incredible basketball team for bringing home the GOLD🥇 in the 60-65 age bracket at the 2025 National Senior Games, sponsored by Humana!

This year's games were one for the books - with approximately 12,500 athletes, it was the second largest in the 40-year history of the event!

Medicare sends Medicare enrollees a thick book to refer to but many find it overwhelming. Came across this info online and thought perhaps it might make it easier especially if you ask your daughter or son who is more used to online searches to find answers for you. This portion gives you access to options to manage pain.

Unfortunately, Medicare does not pay for non-medical home care. The idea of Medicare-paid in-home care came up at the last election so it is in the minds of some legislators so let's hope for that change to come! The good news though is that it pays for skilled nursing for a few weeks --nursing care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, rehab, etc. You will be pleasantly surprised to find out how much our country does have for individuals who need help---it is not perfect but the support is there.

Hope this helps.

Visiting Angels LOVES to share info with clients and the community...because we have seen how knowledge can lead to sound choices, how knowledge can bring hope. You have to check this out. We are especially excited about the smart bed - imagine not worrying about bed sores and getting info about your sleeping challenges--and that's just the start! Let's hope that medical research continues to find ways to make our lives better especially as we age...

Speaking of knowledge--here's a gem for you. If you know anyone who is struggling to keep up with activities of daily living but wants to continue to stay at home...or get one-on-one supplemental care if they are in a facility, a Visiting ANGEL can help with that. So call us already!

Those of us who still believe in human interaction might react to AI with hesitance. But in this article, Visiting Angels points out how AI could actually be helpful. Check it out! Or...have your Home Care Aide help you check it out. That's what our in-home caregivers do--they help our home care clients get online information, utilize the internet to clarify info, teach our clients how to stay in touch (social media) with people they have not seen or just want to stay in touch with. Technology in moderation does not need to mean absence of human interaction!
