24 Hour Caregivers in Covina

As the life expectancy of our baby boomer parents increases, it’s only natural that our Elderly and Senior parents want more out of life.  This article titled “Baby Boomers Will Transform Aging in America, Panel Says” really puts into perspective what is going on right now with the baby boomer generation and what may come in the future.  The article talks about how Senior and Elderly individuals are becoming reinvigorated and motivated to learn more and find a new sense of self-purpose with the wisdom they have from experiencing the majority of life already.  The article also talks about entitlement programs and how there may be a shortfall in the supply, as the aging population grows.  It predicts that we’ll see more Elderly activists that will hopefully make “…change for the betterment of all generations.”

You’re not alone in the struggle and worry for your Elderly or Senior parent.  For the baby boomer generation, millions are putting their own retirement planning on hold as they have to help care for their parents.

According to a CNBC article title Tips on Caring for Aging Parents, the baby boomer generation is often referred to as the sandwich generation – because this group is right in the middle of raising their own children while providing care for their aging parents as well.  The article has information and statistics on home care, “The number of people age 65 and older will more than double between 2010 and 2050 to 88.5 million or 20% of the population; likewise, those 85 and older will rise three-fold, to 19 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.”  The article also talks about how people underestimate the cost of assisted living facilities while overestimating the cost of non-medical in-home care.

Post Stroke Care

When someone has a stroke it’s usually because the person had a blood clot in one of their arteries or blood vessels, which resulted in temporary suffocation of brain cells, destroying them.  Stroke is scary because it can occur at random at any time.  Although proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk, people who are over age 55, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, are obese,  use alcohol heavily, or smoke cigarettes are at greater risk.

Rehabilitation is essential to recovery.  Depending upon the part of your brain that was damaged by the stroke, memory, movement, or speech and language could be affected.  The National Stroke Association has a guide to help you in your decision of choosing the right therapy provider.  Check out the guide here.
