National Caregivers Day is Friday, February 17 this year and continues to be celebrated on the third Friday in February every year. We love taking this day to honor the people who selflessly provide physical, emotional support, and personal care to those who need it most.
Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants understand the role they play in senior care every day, particularly in honing their ability to help strengthen seniors and assist in reducing falls risks. They are in fact integral collaborators in fall prevention within healthcare.
Technology is here empowering caregivers and older adults to age more successfully.
Receiving home care services has never been easier but not all older adult services are alike. What are the reasons you may be looking for home care additives? Maybe it is a recent medical episode such as a fall, management of a chronic illness, or respite care or assistance related to caregiver burnout.
Paid or unpaid, caregiving is a job.
Every year organizations and people raise awareness surrounding brain injuries in the month of March by sharing facts, stories, and educational opportunities. The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) recognizes Brain Injury Awareness Month with #MoreThanMyBrainInjury. They aim to recognize individuals living with an injury related to a brain trauma.
We can all agree that caregiving in 2021 has been a year unlike any other. We may have thought 2021 would bring some respite for care providers but this just wasn’t the case.
Every year around this time we all begin to reflect on the past year. We know that gratitude is important, but it can be hard to slow down and step back. We’ve all felt the ups and downs of 2021. There are days that felt wonderful and brought joy. There are days that probably felt overwhelming and difficult. As a senior caregiver, homemaker, businessperson, or whatever hats you are wearing, best laid plans can go out the window.
