Scammers have a new scam and target: Taking advantage of older adults during tax season. Check out this article on ways they are trying to steal money and identities. https://bit.ly/3JAoQRt
Loneliness Among Older Adults- a Serious Health Risk

When the pandemic began, visits to senior living facilities were curtailed. Seniors living at home were advised to shelter in place. Many in-person support services were suspended. While the nation pivoted to online communications, many older people have been unable to access these technologies. The media has often reported on the resulting sense of isolation experienced by seniors.

But loneliness among older adults is not a recent problem. During the past decade, numerous studies have revealed that an epidemic of social isolation is having a serious effect on the length and quality of life. Here are findings from that research:

Socially isolated elders are more likely to neglect their health. They get less exercise, and their nutrition suffers. For example, a November 2021 study from the North American Menopause Society stated, “When eating alone, people tend to eat faster, which often leads to increases in body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels”—all linked with heart disease and other health problems.

Loneliness raises the risk of dementia by 50%. Our brains require the specific type of mental stimulation that socialization provides. Experts say the human drive to spend time with others is as strong as hunger and thirst. If we lack adequate interaction with others, our minds are less sharp as the years go by. The effect can even be seen from day to day! In September 2021, Penn State University experts reported that on days seniors interacted socially with others, they scored higher on tests of memory and cognition.

Loneliness is emotionally distressing. Even for people who give their brains a workout with working, reading or other mentally stimulating solo activities, loneliness still causes stress. The late John Cacioppo, a University of Chicago professor who is called the founder of social neuroscience, noted that loneliness causes an increase in inflammation and harmful stress hormones which triggers damage right down to the cellular level. Cacioppo and other researchers reported that loneliness shortens life to a greater degree than obesity or smoking 15 ci******es a day!

Social isolation threatens financial health. The last decades have seen a sharp increase in financial fraud perpetrated against older adults, and seniors who are lonely are prime targets of these criminals. Lonely elders are more vulnerable to the wiles of a “friendly stranger” or an online romance scam. Grateful to have someone to talk to, they don’t hang up on a con artist.


Addressing barriers to later-life social connections

Life changes can erode our social network. The death of a spouse, retirement from work, children moving away, and moving from one’s long-time home all remove human contact we formerly took for granted. Research shows that even “weak ties” provide a dose of valuable socialization—the grocery clerk, the mail carrier, and other acquaintances whose paths cross ours in everyday life. Families can help older relatives replace those contacts, perhaps through senior programs in the community, volunteer work, and even online socialization. Families who hire professional in-home care to support the well-being of older loved ones quickly realize that companionship is another welcome benefit.

Health problems shrink our world. Loneliness increases the risk of illness and disability—and the opposite also is true. Older adults with chronic health conditions often withdraw and become homebound. Hearing loss has an especially powerful negative effect. “Putting a halt to socializing only contributes to a downward spiral,” warned Meaghan Barlow of Concordia University. “The fact that loneliness can lead to further complications means that measures should be taken to prevent the effects from looping back around. Dealing with a chronic illness shouldn’t prevent you from still trying to get out there if you can.”

Lack of transportation may limit mobility in the community. Even if an older adult is motivated to “get out there,” that might be easier said than done. Arthritis, visual impairment or memory loss might mean it’s time to give up the car keys. Learn about transportation alternatives such as public and senior-specific transportation and ride-hailing services. Family and friends might offer a ride. Professional in-home care offers the highest convenience and safety. Caregivers transport clients to health care appointments, to social gatherings, and out and about among other people.

Memory loss leads to isolation. Families supporting a person who is living with Alzheimer’s disease, or a related disorder should encourage friends and family to continue spending time with their loved one. And today there are many innovative dementia-friendly programs where people with memory loss can enjoy appropriate social activities in a non-judgmental setting. Professional in-home caregivers provide appropriate care and activities for clients, as well as provide respite for family caregivers, who often experience loneliness themselves.

Loving Home Care can match your loved one with a compatible, qualified caregiver to support social and health needs. Contact your Loving Home Care today and ask for a FREE in-home consultation.

National Influenza Vaccination Week (N.I.V.W.) is observed between December 6 and 12 as a gentle reminder for you to stay protected in the upcoming winter months.

If you haven’t already taken your vaccination shot, it’s not too late. We encourage you to get your dose as early as possible. The season for flu is quite unpredictable; it can begin as early as fall and last up to spring. Conventionally, flu activity is at its peak during winter, and so public healthcare professionals, advocates, and communities join hands to promote flu vaccination.
Happy Friday Everyone!😊
POST TRAUMATIC DISORDER IN ELDERLY:
Post traumatic disorder (PTSD) in elderly persons impairs their ability to deal with subsequent life stress and to negotiate the developmental stages of late life successfully. It can stem from trauma at any point in life. Symptoms may be persistent or intermittent, and the disorder may be time-limited or chronic.
In some cases, you might be unaware of events in a senior's childhood, adolescence, or adult life that triggered their PTSD. In other cases, a senior will be able to clearly identify what caused their trauma.

In either case, there are many reasons why a senior might have PTSD:
• Combat and war
• Natural disasters
• Traumatic childbirth experiences
• Major motor vehicle accidents
• Medical issues that required hospitalization
• Abuse, violence, or neglect
• Sexual assault and r**e
• Loss and grief

Signs of PTSD:
• Flashbacks and uncontrollable thoughts- During a flashback, the individual feels like they are reliving the traumatic event.
• Avoiding triggers- Because thinking about the traumatic event is so painful, people with PTSD often avoid people, places, and things that might remind them of the event.
• Behavioral changes- Often, people with PTSD are easily startled and can react inappropriately to triggers that wouldn't bother most people.
• Negativity- PTSD changes the way a person thinks. They may have more negative thoughts, have difficulty trusting others, feel guilty, anxious, shameful, and terrified.

How To Support a Senior with PTSD:
• Remain compassionate - They need loving support and professional help.
• Understand co-factors - In other cases, medications taken to manage other health conditions can exacerbate emotional outbursts. Coping with a myriad of different health conditions and mental disorders is one of the unique challenges of being a caregiver.
• Embrace Therapy - Cognitive behavioral therapy has long been considered the most effective. It works by changing an individual’s thought and behavior patterns surrounding an event.
• Manage medications - Anti-depressant medication and work by changing the way the brain interacts with certain neurotransmitters like serotonin and nor-epinephrine. Make sure to keep doctors up to date about any other medications that your senior is taking.
• Take care of yourself, too - caring for or living with someone with a disorder like PTSD can be overwhelming and lead to caregiver stress. You may be subjected to outbursts and strange behaviors that frighten or upset you. Sometimes, it may feel as though these negative feelings are addressed towards you.

In these cases, it's important to take care of yourself. Try not to take it personally. Know you are doing your best. Help your loved one get the professional help they need, but also give yourself the time and space apart to cope.
Thank you to all the military personnel for the sacrifices you have made for our freedom.

Happy Veterans Day!
It's Home Health Aide Week!

Our Story

Loving Home Care is a small family service dedicated to helping seniors receive quality, safe, affordable care all in the comfort of home.

At Loving Home Care we desire a personal relationship with our clients. As an administrator, I personally perform routine calls and visits to ensure that Loving Home Care is meeting the needs of our clients.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality of home care that is trustworthy, safe, and affordable. We treat your loved ones like family, with the dignity, respect, and consideration they deserve as if we are caring for our own loved ones.

Loving Home Care developed out of a desire to help others. While growing up, my mother who was a nurse would occasionally take me to visit her elderly patients in the nursing home. Many had few visits because their families were busy or lived away. These visits with my mom are memories that have remained with me.
