Senior Fraud Protection

Seniors are often targeted by scammers because they may be more trusting, live alone, or not stay up to date with technology. Common scams include fake calls from the IRS or Social Security, emails asking for personal details, sweepstakes that claim you’ve “won,” or even a caller pretending to be a grandchild in trouble.

To stay safe, seniors should never share Social Security numbers, banking information, or credit card details unless they are absolutely certain of who they are speaking with. If they do not know who the caller is, the safest option is to hang up the phone and block that number. Caller IDs and emails can be faked, so it’s always best to call back using an official number. Shredding sensitive mail, using strong passwords, and signing up for fraud alerts with banks or credit cards can also help.

Families play an important role in protecting their loved ones. Checking in regularly, reviewing accounts for unusual charges, and having open, judgment-free conversations about money and safety are key steps. Education, awareness, and family support are the strongest defenses against senior fraud.

Managing Diabetes

There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body does not make insulin and requires daily insulin. Type 2 is more common and happens when the body does not use insulin well or make enough of it. Lifestyle, genetics, and other health factors all play a role.

Living with diabetes takes knowledge, consistency, and support. Learn as much as you can about the condition so you understand how it affects your body. Safe exercise, healthy lifestyle changes, and regular self-monitoring of blood sugar are key to staying on track. Stress relief techniques like deep breathing or light activity can also help balance levels. Wearing a medical ID ensures safety, proper medication management keeps treatment effective, and joining support groups provides encouragement and community.

Always consult your doctor before changing medications. Managing diabetes means being mindful of diet, exercise, hydration, and rest. With healthy habits, some people can reduce or even reverse diabetes, while ignoring care can lead to serious complications such as vision loss, amputations, or worse.

Incontinence

Incontinence is common, affecting more than half of people over 65. The three main types of urinary incontinence are urge, stress, and overflow, while bowel incontinence can appear as either f***l leaks or passive loss of control. Managing incontinence begins with seeing a doctor to find the cause and treatment options. At home, strategies like Kegel exercises, scheduled bathroom breaks, staying active, and reducing alcohol or caffeine can help. Safe home adjustments and incontinence products also provide comfort, dignity, and peace of mind.

Exercises for chair-bound or bed-bound seniors

Staying active is important at every stage of life, even for seniors who spend most of their time in a bed or chair. Movement keeps the body from becoming stiff and weak. It also helps with circulation, reduces discomfort, and supports independence.

A few simple exercises can make a big difference. Ankle circles and foot flexes improve blood flow. Arm raises keep the upper body strong. Seated marching builds leg movement, and hand squeezes strengthen grip. Gentle stretches and neck or shoulder rolls help ease tension. These activities also boost mood and support better sleep as well as keeping the mind engaged. Just 10 to 15 minutes, two to three times a day. Daily movement can improve overall health and well-being. Always move at a safe pace and check with a doctor before starting new exercises to make sure you can benefit from it. Remember not to overdue it or stress your body too much.

Social Connections for Seniors

Staying socially connected isn’t just uplifting, it’s essential for senior health. Loneliness and isolation has increased 100-fold since Covid. This is causing a decrease in wanting to get out, be social, and be around like-minded people. Regular interaction helps reduce loneliness, supports memory, boosts mood, and even improves overall well-being.

Whether it’s sharing a meal, playing a game, or simply having a conversation, meaningful connections make each day brighter. At Andi’s Angels, we encourage and create opportunities for our clients to stay engaged, ensuring they feel valued and supported.

Some of our dementia engagement activities are intentionally simple because simple moments can spark the brightest connections. For example, take a picture from the room and ask your loved one who the people are. Whatever answer they give is correct. The goal isn’t accuracy, it’s connection. Just engaging with the picture can trigger a memory or bring clarity even if only for a moment.

We also use activities that encourage success and joy:
-Large-piece puzzles that can be completed for a sense of accomplishment.
-Lighthearted games like Simon Says or Go Fish.
-A simplified version of Concentration, using only 10 cards to make it manageable and fun.

Brain Games for Seniors

Keeping the mind active is just as important as keeping the body moving! Seniors can stay sharp and boost their memory with fun brain games like puzzles, crosswords, Sudoku, memory games, and card or board games. Reading and learning new hobbies or singing along to favorite music are also great ways to stimulate the brain. Social games are especially powerful because they combine mental exercise with meaningful connection. With a little brain play each day, they can go a long way in supporting cognitive health and independence. At Andi’s Angels Home Care, engagement is taken very seriously. Every one of our caregivers are trained in Teepa Snows “Positive Approach to Care.” Teaching how to work with dementia’s, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s using methods to engage and have positive outcomes for our clients.

Fire Safety for Seniors

Fire safety at home is especially important for older adults. Make sure smoke alarms are installed and tested regularly and consider alarms with flashing lights for those with hearing challenges. Never leave cooking unattended and keep flammable items away from stoves or heaters. Avoid overloading outlets, replace damaged cords, and always keep the pathways clear for safe exits. Having an escape plan along with essentials like glasses, medications, and a phone within reach can make all the difference in an emergency. A few precautions help seniors stay safe and give families peace of mind.

Adults over 65 and account for roughly 32% of home fire deaths. They make up only 13% of the U.S. population. In many areas, seniors represent 40% of fire related deaths, while comprising just 15% of the population. At Andis angels Homecare we always recommend having an escape plan with your medications, glasses, and a phone charger. Quick exiting will save lives. Also always make sure your fire extinguishers are not expired. At Andis Angels we help you check to make sure you have a fire safety check list too.

These are a few important ones to check off
-Test your smoke alarms monthly
-Never leave cooking unattended
-Keep space heaters 3 feet from anything flammable
-Don’t overload outlets or use frayed cords
-Keep hallways and exits clear for a quick escape

Kitchen Safety for Seniors

� Kitchen safety is especially important for seniors, particularly those with mobility, vision, or memory challenges. A few simple adjustments can make a big difference in creating a safer and more comfortable environment. Keep floors free of spills and clutter, and use non-slip mats near the sink and stove if possible to help prevent falls. Fire risk can be reduced by using appliances with automatic shut-off features, keeping flammable items away from burners, and never leaving cooking unattended.
At Andi's Angels Home Care, we believe that the best safety practices often include having someone present in the kitchen to provide support and ensure your loved one stays safe. Even if your loved one can no longer cook on their own, involving them in small tasks like mixing, pouring, or adding ingredients can help them feel useful and engaged. These moments of participation are valuable for their sense of purpose and independence.
Safe food handling is always critical. Always check expiration dates, refrigerate leftovers promptly, and keep raw and cooked foods separate to avoid contamination. Many seniors on a limited income may try to stretch food beyond its expiration date. While this might be safe for some items, it can be harmful with others, so it is important to know the difference. Storing knives securely, using easy-grip utensils, and keeping frequently used items at waist height can reduce physical strain. Make sure the kitchen is well-lit to prevent accidents, and if medications are stored there, keep them clearly labeled and separate from food preparation areas.
With just a few thoughtful changes, the kitchen can remain a safe, supportive space where seniors continue to enjoy meaningful daily routines and maintain a sense of dignity and independence.

Choking Risks & Safety for Seniors Living Alone

Choking is very scary and if we are not prepared then it could be tragic. Seniors at home alone face a higher risk of choking emergencies. Conditions like dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and weakened reflexes can make eating more challenging and dangerous. If choking happens, call 911 immediately, then try the self-Heimlich by pressing your upper abdomen against a sturdy chair or countertop. Cough forcefully to help dislodge the object.

Consider having anti-choking devices like LifeVac or Dechoker at home. These manual suction tools are designed to quickly clear blocked airways and can be used on yourself or others. While they don’t replace emergency services, they can add a vital layer of safety and peace of mind. At Andisangelshomecare.com our caregivers will show you how to properly use these devices too.
