Why Visit an Assisted Living Community During the Holidays

The holiday season is often a time when families are reunited. In some cases, it is the first time all year when everyone is together. For adult children in north Texas and in other areas of the country, the change in a senior loved one’s condition can sometimes be shocking.

An adult child may not have realized how much an aging parent has been struggling. Even though they talk on the phone with one another several times a week, senior loved ones are often unwilling to open up about the challenges they are experiencing. It can cause panic in the family when everyone returns home and realizes an older loved one needs to make a move to a residential care home or an assisted living community. [Read more…]

Support for North Texas Adults with Parkinson’s

An estimated 50,000 adults in this country are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) each year. What is different with PD than other chronic health conditions is that it often strikes when people are in the prime of their life. Adults with the disease frequently have young children at home and a full-time career.

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease

While most people have heard of Parkinson’s, how challenging the disease can be isn’t as widely understood. PD is a neurodegenerative disease that results when the body ceases to produce the amount of dopamine it needs. Dopamine is a chemical our body requires to swiftly and smoothly relay messages back and forth between the brain and the body. That relay is necessary for smooth muscle movements. [Read more…]

Understanding Aggression in Men with Alzheimer’s

Adults who work in assisted living communities have long suspected there were underlying reasons to explain some of the trends in memory care program admissions. Even though the number of women who live in senior living communities is significantly greater than the number of men, more men than women are being admitted to memory care programs across the country. In fact, men are moving in to dementia care communities at a rate that is 14% faster than women.

Researchers who dug in to this issue discovered a few very interesting differences between men and women who have Alzheimer’s disease. [Read more…]

What to Consider Before Moving a Parent in with You

The number of multi-generational households in this country continues to climb. According to researchers, 18% of the U.S. population lives in a home with loved ones who span several generations. From young adults returning home to live with parents to older adults moving in with adult children, a record setting 57 million Americans are part of a multi-generational household.

It isn’t uncommon for sandwich generation adults in the Dallas – Fort Worth areas to consider moving an older parent into their own family home. It helps on a variety of fronts. Grandparents can provide afterschool supervision and emotional support while parents are at work. Older adults who feel isolated living alone or are experiencing health problems benefit from being around their loved ones. [Read more…]

Beating Caregiver Stress During the Holidays

The holidays can be a challenging time of year for everyone. But for already overloaded family caregivers, there are added pressures. Seasonal tasks such as shopping for holiday gifts, wrapping presents, decorating the house and hosting parties can take a toll. When you add caring for a north Texas senior loved one to that list, it can result in a potentially serious case of caregiver burnout.

Not surprisingly, four in ten caregivers say they can’t manage it all during the holidays. But there are steps you can take to lighten your load and take care of your own mental, emotional, and physical health during the holiday season. [Read more…]
