🍂 Is It Just Getting Older, or Is It Depression?
October is Depression Education and Awareness Month, and we have a crucial conversation for family caregivers. It's often difficult to recognize depression in aging parents because the signs can be mistaken for normal aging or other health issues.

At Geras Home Care, we want to empower you with the knowledge to spot the subtle red flags. We cover the key signs to watch for, including:
🗝️Sudden Social Withdrawal and loss of interest in hobbies.
🗝️Vague, unexplained physical aches and pains.
🗝️Significant changes in sleep and eating patterns.

Your parents' mental well-being is just as vital as their physical health. Learn the five key signs of depression and how consistent, compassionate home care can provide crucial support and companionship.

"This is a well-earned, deserved 5-star by Geras Home Care. I am the primary caregiver for my elderly father. Late last year, he was diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia. The care he needed began to quickly exceed my capabilities, as I also have a full-time job. My family reached out to Geras and they were Aces.

I worked with Kathy and Olivia, who are simply fantastic. They did a patient assessment and made sure the home was safe (which it naturally would be). They were attentive and compassionate to what I needed and more importantly what my father needed while I was at work. I told them what I needed and what to expect and the care was customized. Nydiera was assigned as my dad's caretaker and she is magnificent. She quickly became not only his caretaker but his daily companion.

She not only took care of him but also helped me out with keeping my house tidy as my time was limited. Caring for an elderly parent is one of the most challenging and trying tests that Life will throw at you. Geras not only helped my dad, they helped me. I highly highly recommend them and cannot praise them enough. There was no downside as far as I'm concerned. Well worth it. And well done." - Michael G.

Thank you Michael.

Today, October 1st, is the International Day of Older Persons! 🌎👵🏽👴🏼
The world is changing, and so is our population. Here are some key facts that highlight why celebrating and supporting our elders is more critical than ever:

➡️The Global Shift: The number of people aged 60 and over has more than doubled since 1995, reaching 1.2 billion this year. By 2080, older adults will outnumber children under 18!
➡️Living Longer: Global life expectancy has risen to 73.5 years, an 8.6-year increase since 1995! The number of people aged 80 and over is growing even faster.
➡️The Care Imperative: With this growth comes a surge in demand for specialized care, particularly for conditions like dementia. At Geras Home Care, we are committed to providing the essential, compassionate support needed to meet these evolving needs.
➡️Honoring Caregivers: Did you know that women provide roughly 70% of global informal care hours? Today, we also recognize the profound and often unpaid contribution of these caregivers, who are the backbone of elder support around the world.

Let's use this day to recognize the tremendous contributions of older people and commit to building a society that offers them the dignity, care, and support they deserve.
