🏥 October is National Physical Therapy Month!

At Serve Link Home Care, we see firsthand how physical therapy transform lives every single day. These dedicated professionals don't just help with recovery – they're champions of independence for our seniors and those recovering from injury or illness.

Here's why physical therapy is so crucial for our community:

✅ MOBILITY MATTERS: PTs and PTAs help clients regain strength and balance, reducing fall risks and keeping them safely in their own homes
✅ PAIN MANAGEMENT: Through targeted exercises and techniques, they provide relief without relying solely on medications
✅ POST-SURGERY SUCCESS: Whether it's a hip replacement or cardiac procedure, physical therapy accelerates healing and prevents complications
✅ CHRONIC CONDITION SUPPORT: From arthritis to stroke recovery, PTs/PTAs create personalized plans that improve daily function
✅ CONFIDENCE BUILDING: When clients can move better, they feel more confident and maintain their independence longer

If you or a loved one could benefit from physical therapy services, talk to your doctor about including Serve Link Home Care in your recovery plan. Our team includes skilled PTs to ensure comprehensive, compassionate care.

💪 Here's to all the physical therapists who help our seniors stay strong, mobile, and independent -- especially our own PTs and PTAs,
Ashton Clark (PTA), Waverly Dixson (PT), Autumn Lindsay (PTA), Grace Overstreet (PTA), Kevin Vorkink (PT), Derek Bond (PT), Chris Hubbard (PTA), Stacie Malloy (PT) and Jessica McClintock (PT).

Pneumococcal -

Plus, invasive pneumococcal disease, which Schaffner describes as “the most serious kind,” tends to occur at higher rates in Black Americans at younger ages (50 to 64). Lowering the recommended age to 50 “will provide protection for that population at a younger age, when they need it,” he says. “This is a great opportunity to prevent much more illness.” 

What is pneumococcal disease?
It’s an umbrella term for any infection caused by the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria — pneumonia and meningitis are a few examples. This bacteria spreads when respiratory secretions (think saliva or mucus) are sent through the air by coughing or sneezing and then inhaled.

RSV -

What to know -
CDC recommends everyone ages 75 and older get an RSV vaccine.
CDC recommends adults ages 50–74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease get an RSV vaccine.
The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine. If you have received an RSV vaccine already (including last year), you should not get another RSV vaccine at this time.
You can get one at any time, but the best time to get vaccinated is in late summer and early fall.

CDC recommends an RSV vaccine for all adults ages 75 years and older and for adults ages 50–74 years who are at increased risk of severe RSV.

Risk factors that increase your risk for severe illness include:

Chronic heart or lung disease
Weakened immune system
Certain other medical conditions
Living in a nursing home

Natural disasters can strike with little warning and for older adults, especially those living alone, having a plan in place when emergencies happen is crucial, especially for those who require refrigerated medications, have mobility aids, or rely on electric-powered medical equipment. Find out about Lifeline, a medical alert system available through Serve Link Home Care here: https://www.servelinkhomecare.com/lifeline-response
✅ 📋 🚨
1. Seniors should know how to evacuate, who to call, and where to go. A list of phone numbers is helpful.
2. Have an emergency kit ready with enough supplies to last at least 3 days including water, batteries, flashlights, and non-perishable food items. Find a suggested emergency kit list here: www.ready.gov/kit
3. Signing up for local alerts as well as having a battery-powered weather radio is ideal.
4. If the person uses any mobility aid, include these needs in the evacuation plan.
5. A medical alert system offers fast access to help 24/7.
6. Practice the plan together so it is less overwhelming during a real emergency.
