  • Springtime: Let’s Declutter, Reset & Take a Healthy Step

    Springtime: Let’s Declutter, Reset & Take a Healthy Step

     

    Declutter

    Slipping on a rug, navigating a cluttered hallway, or missing a step are common ways independent older adults experience falls, often becoming the moment that shifts someone from independence to needing support.

    Most families don’t notice the risks until something happens. Being proactive can make a big difference. Spring is a smart time for a simple safety reset.

    A safer, calmer home does not require a major overhaul. A few focused changes can reduce fall risks, make daily routines easier, and help older adults feel more confident moving around at home. Small adjustments can help keep Mom or Dad safer.

    Start with the “high-traffic” areas — the paths your parent uses every day. Falls are not a normal part of aging, and CDC guidance includes removing trip hazards such as throw rugs and keeping floors clutter-free.

    If you only have an hour, focus on clearing walkways, moving cords out of the way and creating a simple “drop spot” for mail and packages so they don’t end up on the floor.

    When the basics are handled, the home feels safer, more comfortable, and less worrisome.

    If this has been sitting on your “to-do” list for months and you simply don’t have the time, consider bringing in help. Sometimes a little support goes a long way.

     

    Reset

    Take a moment to consider other areas that may be creating stress including transportation to medical appointments, housekeeping, meal preparation, or medication reminders.

    Companionship is another important consideration when aging in place, especially after the loss of a spouse. Isolation can quietly impact both physical and emotional health.

    CarePlus supports families with a variety of care levels designed to adapt as needs change. Having a caregiver provides hands-on, consistent support, often exactly what busy families need. A reliable presence can help manage daily tasks that keep both the home and your loved one safer.

     

    Healthy Steps

    Next, look at routines that build strength and confidence.

    A short walk outside , especially with a caregiver or family member, can be a simple way to add movement without feeling overwhelming. The CDC notes that regular physical activity helps prevent many chronic diseases, lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke, and supports independent living longer. “Moving Matters for Aging Adults”.

    Nutrition is also important, MyPlate has Unique Needs of People Ages 60+ and recommends:

    • Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy (or fortified soy alternatives)
    • Choosing options lower in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium

    Maintaining good nutrition and a healthy weight becomes increasingly important as we age.

    If you or a family member is aging in place and could benefit from support in maintaining a safe home, balanced meals, and healthy movement, CarePlus is here to help.

  • Tips for Older Adults Preparing for the Winter Months

    Tips for Older Adults Preparing for the Winter Months

    The weather this Fall has not done much to signal the coming winter, but as the days grow shorter, it is time to start thinking about the coming months. Older adults living at home need to consider significant risks to their safety and well-being. With Winter comes challenges to health and well-being, but with a little planning and some practical steps, it’s possible to get ready for winter asap.

    Line Up Your Outdoor Safety Measures

    Clear Leaves

    The transition from Summer to Fall means a switch of yard equipment from a mower to a rake. Today’s fallen leaves can become a slip and fall hazard with the Autumn rains and into the Winter months, especially when they are hidden under the snow. If you have mobility issues or other health concerns, consider hiring a landscaping or home care service to do the job in time for leaf collection. Montgomery County generally has two leaf collection dates in early November and December.

    Hire a Snow Removal Service

    Even the lightest snowfall can be overwhelming for older adults who have trouble with the intense physical labor of shoveling and clearing. Many companies offer snow and ice removal services, but their schedules fill up and their prices rise once the Winter snows have begun. It is worth confirming that you have this service in place in the Fall so that you can rest easy in the Winter.

    Install Bannisters and Grab Bars for Outdoor Safety

    Walkways and steps become dangerous with rain, ice, and snow. Take some time to review your outdoor areas for good places to install or repair banisters and grab bars. If you’re unsure how or where to install them, a handyman or home care provider can assist with the process.

    Don’t Wait to Pick Up Safety Supplies

    Frosts can catch you by surprise, so before Fall starts heading towards Winter, make sure that you have plenty of de-icing materials. Rock salt, sand, kitty litter, or other alternatives can be scattered on steps and sidewalks to make them safe to use. While stocking up, consider adding some additional essentials, such as warm blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, and a well-stocked medicine cabinet, to avoid last-minute runs in bad weather. Additionally, stock your pantry with basic, non-perishable supplies, such as bottled water, paper products, and cleaning supplies, in case you get snowed in.

    Strategize to Avoid Isolation

    The reduced daylight and worsening weather can lead to isolation, which can be particularly challenging for older adults living at home. Studies have shown that isolation can lead to depression and additional negative health outcomes. Plan to stay connected to friends, family, and your community through regular phone calls, video chats, or in-person visits if possible.

    Homecare Companionship: A Supportive Option

    If you find yourself spending more time alone or struggling with daily tasks, home care companionship is a wonderful option. Professional caregivers can provide everything from friendly conversation to assistance with chores, errands, and personal care. Not only do they help with practical needs, but they also offer meaningful social interaction, making the winter months more enjoyable and less lonely.

    Now is the perfect time to get ready for winter’s challenges. With a little planning and preparation, you can make it through the winter season in comfort, safety, and companionship.

  • Stroke Awareness-Stay Safe

    According to the National Institutes of Health, “Each year in the United States, there are more than 800,000 strokes.”

    Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, according the Centers for Disease Control. More than any other disease a stroke can cause serious, long-term disabilities. The American Heart Association Stroke Council (ASC) says that stroke victims are vulnerable to repeat strokes.

    CarePlus Home Health would like to offer you a few tips on how to recognize stroke-like symptoms and the necessary steps to take to reduce the risk of having a stroke.

    What is a Stroke?

    When a major blood vessel in the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts, a portion of the brain cannot get the blood it needs, causing brain cells to die.

    This is a stroke.

    What Causes a Stroke?  

    The two-most common types of strokes are hemorrhagic and ischemic.

    • A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a weakened blood vessel in the brain ruptures. High blood pressure is the most common cause of a hemorrhagic stroke.
    • An Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is obstructed. According to the ASC, ischemic strokes account for 87% of all strokes.

    When a person has a stroke, depending on where in the brain the stroke occurs, the part of the body controlled by that part of the brain cannot function. Short of death, strokes can cause paralysis, loss of vision, memory loss as well as other possible outcomes – some of which are irreversible.

    Remember to ACT FAST!

    Medical intervention is needed as quickly as possible when experiencing stroke symptoms.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, an ischemic stroke requires specific pharmaceuticals to break up the clot in the brain; medication should be administered “within 4.5 hours from when symptoms first started if given intravenously.

    The sooner a stroke patient is treated with medication, the better. Quick medical treatment may not only improve a stroke victim’s chances of survival, additional medical complication may be avoided.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control, the acronym F-A-S-T can help you remember stroke symptoms.

    F = Face drooping: Ask the person to smile. Does one side droop?

    A = Arm weakness: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

    S = Speech difficulty: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are their words slurred?

    T = Time to call 9-1-1: If the person shows any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately. Stroke treatment can begin in the ambulance.

    Additional stroke symptoms include dizziness; loss of balance or coordination; trouble walking; problems seeing out of one or both eyes; severe headache; numbness of the face; and sudden confusion or trouble understanding others.

    Keeping in mind the FAST signs (see above), it is imperative contact emergency services as soon as possible if you or someone else displays any stroke symptoms.

    Do NOT Let COVID-19 Prevent You From Seeking Treatment

    Millions of Americans are rightfully following the CDC’s social distancing guidelines with respect to COVID-19; however, these social distancing measures should not prevent you from getting emergency medical attention should you experience stroke-like symptoms.  

    Call 911!

    Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are trained to assess your condition and take immediate steps to hospitalize someone having a stroke. The risks associated with not obtaining treatment for a stroke far outweigh the potential exposure to COVID-19, particularly when healthcare professionals involved – from the EMT to the treating doctors and nurses – are made aware of any underlying health concerns (e.g., a compromised immune system).

    Take Care of Yourself!

    The CDC offers the following stroke prevention guidelines:

    • Eat a healthy, low-sodium diet; include plenty of fruits and vegetables;
    • Maintain a healthy weight;
    • Be physically active.
    • Do not smoke;
    • Avoid secondhand smoke;
    • Limit your alcohol use;
    • Prevent or manage your other health conditions, especially high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity.

    Some contributing strokes factors – age, race and gender, for example – are outside of your control. Living a healthy lifestyle, however, can help prevent you or your loved one from having a stroke.

     

     

  • Understanding Bone and Joint Challenges

    Understanding Bone and Joint Challenges

    Our bones and joints become a source of potential serious injury as we age, and because last week was Bone and Joint National Action Week, everyone should be thinking about ways to care for these important body parts. Of course, a diet high in calcium and vitamin D are great for growing kids, but older adults need to continue to take these issues seriously. Here are some facts and tips to consider. 

    Bone and Joint Injury and Disease Facts

    According to the National Bone and Joint Initiative half of adult Americans suffer from musculoskeletal complications and many of these people require medical intervention for care. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of health, identifies Osteoarthritis, falls and fractures, and Osteoporosis are among the most important health topics related to aging. Currently, there are some basic treatments for bone and joint injury and disease, but these conditions are often cumulative and degenerative, and the best that can be done is treatment of the pain and other symptoms.

    Prevention

    In addition to diet and supplements, the most significant way to prevent and alleviate bone and joint conditions is through a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise strengthens muscles, which eases the strain on bones and joints. Luckily, it’s never too late to start, but if exercise hasn’t been a part of daily activities, it is important to consult with a physician before starting a new program. 

    Treatment and Care

    Individuals with debilitating bone and joint problems, including severe pain, can find their lives impacted in many ways. Simple tasks like laundry, cooking and cleaning can become major hurdles. In order to maximize independence and minimize pain, it is important to follow doctor’s orders about medication and treatment like physical therapy. Where an extra pair of hands can help with things that require dexterity like folding laundry or dicing vegetables, home health care can make a huge difference in continued life enjoyment. 

    At CarePlus Home Health, we work with clients to help them feel able to stay in their homes as long as possible. We do this by assessing their needs and providing trained, professional assistance to round out their lives in the ways that make the most meaningful impact. For clients with bone and joint challenges like arthritis, we can assist with meal preparation, laundry and other household activities that may be impacted. For more information about how we can help, contact us today for a free assessment. 

  • Living At Home With Alzheimer’s

    Living At Home With Alzheimer’s

    For adults with memory impairment like Alzheimer’s, change can be difficult, so it is no surprise that the prospect of moving out of the home and into a care facility is met with resistance. According to research published in the Journal of American Geriatrics, there has been an increased trend for people with dementia to prefer staying at home for as long as possible. However, staying at home presents some significant challenges, particularly for people who live alone. With some awareness and forethought, it is possible to stay at home. Here are some important considerations.

    Managing Activities of Daily Living

    As dementia progresses, many activities of daily living (ADL) become increasingly difficult. From grocery shopping to cleaning, household chores become confusing, and often they are neglected. In addition, personal care like bathing, dressing, and grooming can be forgotten or avoided. As dementia progresses, individuals require increasing assistance with ADLs, which may be beyond the capacity of family, especially if they don’t live together. It’s important to regularly assess the status of ADL abilities and make adjustments to meet increased needs. 

    Assuring Safety

    Individuals with Alzheimer’s suffer from progressive cognitive decline, which impacts many aspects of their safety. Something as simple as remembering to turn off a stove can be a major hazard for someone with memory and focus impairment. Since Alzheimer’s affects older adults, there can be physical challenges that are exacerbated by dementia, such as an inability to problem solve in the event of a medical emergency like a fall or a kitchen accident. Also, dementia can lead to “wandering” – where a person gets lost in their own neighborhood because they simply can’t remember where they live. With care and planning, each of these and many other safety elements can be addressed, and measures can be taken to adapt to increasing impairment as the disease progresses.

    Avoiding Isolation

    Loneliness and isolation are a problem for all people who live alone, but for people living with Alzheimer’s the consequences can have a real, negative impact on their continued ability to live in their own home. A recent Washington Post article identified a significant increase in individuals with Alzheimer’s who experienced isolation due to the COVID-19 protocols. Since dementia can make even simpler technologies difficult to manage, in-person contact is critical to the continued health and well being of people with Alzheimer’s. 

    In order to take care of these and other issues that impact people with Alzheimer’s living at home, we recommend beginning with a thorough assessment by a specialist in geriatric and memory-care concerns. The assessment should look at all of the factors in the home that might pose a difficulty or even a threat. Once the assessment is complete, there are a number of ways to address the findings. In-home care offered by trained specialists like our team at CarePlus Home Health can be an important part of the solution. Located in Montgomery County, our team is highly trained in the care, dignity and safety of our clients with Alzheimer’s. We offer in-home assessments as well as a wide range of customized services to best address the needs of each individual. Contact us to find out how we can help.

  • 3 Qualities to Achieve Excellence in Home Health Care

    3 Qualities to Achieve Excellence in Home Health Care

    More and more adults are choosing to stay in their homes, so they can age in place without the disruption of relocation. Health and safety challenges make this course of action impossible without help, and many people prefer to work with seasoned, trustworthy professionals to make sure their care is appropriate. When selecting home health care, an important balance of factors needs to be considered to make sure the experience is truly supportive. At CarePlus, we believe that quality home health care is made up of multiple factors, and we believe these three are essential.

    Expertise

    In the area of home health care, two types of experience are critical: health and hospitality. Geriatric health is a particular concentration in the medical field, and you want to make sure your caretakers know this area well. It also takes an extra level of compassion, care, and quality to go into a home and seamlessly become a part of daily living for an aging adult. Understanding how to make a home hospitable for an aging homeowner is a key to a successful relationship in home health care. Based on his years of experience in the hospitality industry, CarePlus Founder, Tom Najjar, recognizes the importance of a high level of quality care combined with customer service.

    Dignity

    As people age, their health may gradually decline, or in some instances, experience rapid changes in their health. Adapting to these changes with the help of home health care allows adults to maintain a sense of independence within their limits. With the ability to continue to make lifestyle choices and flexibility with support, as needs increase, adults can feel empowered to live their best lives. CarePlus recognizes these situations and is respectful and fully prepared to provide needed support.

    Comfort

    Whether it’s medication, groceries, a doctor visit or another service, a key to quality home health care is the comfort of the client as well as family and friends, who are concerned about the client’s well-being. Comfort comes in many forms. It can be a knowledgeable, experienced caretaker’s ability to help with medication and the activities of daily living. In addition, it may be the compassionate attitude of a caretaker who truly cares. Being a resource to the family, may also add peace of mind.

    At CarePlus Home Health we stand by our mission to deliver better care for a better life. We understand the trust being placed in our hands when our clients allow us to help them with their needs as they age. We look forward to the opportunity to bring Expertise, Dignity and Comfort to your home or the home of a loved one. For more information about our services, please contact us today.
