<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>POP-IN SERVICE </b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How does a Pop-In Service work? </span></b><br />
Aunt Theresa wants to stay in her home for as long as possible. The family wants to keep her in her home as
long as possible. Because Aunt Theresa is unsteady on her feet, and sometimes doesn’t bother to make
herself a hot meal and forgets to take her medications so the family help.<br />
<br />
However, with all the responsibilities and
work the family members have, it is difficult to make it over to Aunt Theresa’s house every day and she needs
someone to help on a consistent basis. Touching Hearts Senior Care is the best solution, we will send a
perfectly matched caregiver over to her house at the designated time she and the family decide. This service
is excellent for the person who needs just a little help to stay independent in their home. Each Pop-In Service
is customized to the individual’s situation.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The service guidelines are as follows:</span></b><br />
<b></b> Requires a consistent schedule<br />
Is offered in Mobile proper, however, in some cases it depends on caregiver availability<br />
Is available in 1, 2 and 3 hours.<br />
Typically used by clients who only require a short visit in situations like those below:<br />
<br />
o Check on a loved one and make sure s/he is okay<br />
o Ensure a loved one is taking medications<br />
o Help with a quick dusting, vacuuming, or other light cleaning<br />
o Help with a quick trip to/from the grocery store or an appointment<br />

I hope you all are staying safe during the pandemic; only going out when you absolutely need to, staying 5-6 feet away from others, washing your hands thoroughly, and coughing into your sleeve. With everything shutting down, and people staying at home, some people will unfortunately not be receiving the care that they need. Let me introduce you to Electronic Caregiver:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRW47toOBsRuAWLVwbtlehKiWWIg6PgVrSIR6aBwfNm1NlgNhVgpP68AuYhn3x-8kh9i1kXNgy4nWTw3rWZ7PTXCPuh6WVt-frF0HqDcF03XJzhuwi8KYq7KnWbputBnsmlIZgcEHHiE/s1600/1811_pendant_mini_controller.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRW47toOBsRuAWLVwbtlehKiWWIg6PgVrSIR6aBwfNm1NlgNhVgpP68AuYhn3x-8kh9i1kXNgy4nWTw3rWZ7PTXCPuh6WVt-frF0HqDcF03XJzhuwi8KYq7KnWbputBnsmlIZgcEHHiE/s400/1811_pendant_mini_controller.png" width="400" /></a><br />
This device is pretty interesting and can be very useful to anyone, not just the elderly! One of the most important is the combination of GPS location and 24/7 physician support. This device communicates with cell phone towers, so if you are in a situation where you can't call 911 for medical emergencies, you can press the little watch button and get immediately connected to an operator who will relay your location and status to the nearest emergency responder! Not in a medical emergency, and don't want to risk going outside during the pandemic for a doctor's appointment? Press the button and ask to speak with a physician! They'll give you medical advice and talk with you on how to proceed.<br />
<br />
It's simple design is easy to use for elderly, and easy to set up for the family. The main hub docks just like a landline phone, and the family can download their app to connect it to the WIFI so they can monitor their loved one from home, giving your elders the independence they would like to keep. The watch syncs up with the hub device so if your loved one is at home, they only need to keep on the watch. If they are going outside, the hub is very low profile and can fit in all pockets, but it also has a convenient belt holder if you want to free up pocket space!<br />

The watch also comes in a wide variety of colors so that way it's more like you are wearing a smart watch, rather than carrying an advanced Life-Alert on you.<br />

While it's intended use is for elderly family members wanting to keep their independence and giving you peace of mind, anyone in the family can use this! I'm sure a lot of us forget to take a new prescription from time to time, or would like a simple yet effective backup in case our smartphones are not available, or maybe your child is going out into the world on their own, like going to dorm at a college. Everyone can benefit from having a doctor or emergency responder ready at the push of a button!<br />

<br />
Let's be honest, you have a bad habit that you can't seem to kick, not matter how many times you try to quit, cold-turkey. Whether it be smoking, picking your nose, cracking your knuckles, chewing with your mouth open, mindlessly scrolling on social media, we all have a bad habit here and there, and stopping a habit is no easy task. A study by Judson Brewer M.D. from Brown University, 60% of people who try to quit a habit with sheer will power alone, end up relapsing. I'm sure you've felt this failure just like me: you quit the habit, go a few days, maybe a month, and then you drop all progress to go back to the status quo. Humans are designed to be habitual creatures, it's what guaranteed our survival before civilization, something becomes a habit so you dedicate less brain power on something small so your brain can focus on avoiding dangers and finding food. Now a days, we aren't fending off predators and slacking off won't lead to us starving to death, but we still have the ability to form habits because that's what got us to where we are today, as such, beating a deeply ingrained behavior is no small feat. One must be methodical, plan, and strategize a way to beat the old habit.<br />
<br />
Quitting "cold-turkey" is just too abrupt of an adjustment, and your brain will actively crave your old habit to return to normalcy. So one of the best methods to kicking a habit, is setting small, easily attainable, goals. Your brain releases dopamine (the reward hormone) when you achieve a goal. Habits also release dopamine to encourage repeat behavior. Chemically this is why hard stopping usually fails, your brain is getting a sudden drop of dopamine, making you feel generally awful. Now if we slowly limit our bad habit while also slowly doing a simple yet rewarding task, you wont be losing out on dopamine, it's just coming from a better source.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for stress balls" height="211" src="https://lifewithasideoftheunexpected.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Stress-Balls.jpg" width="320" /><img alt="Image result for cracking knuckles" height="213" src="https://hhp-blog.s3.amazonaws.com/2018/05/iStock-477062066.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
For example, lets say you start cracking your knuckles because it made your hands feel less stiff in a hurry, you repeat this behavior over time, and before you know it, you're just cracking your knuckles without thinking about it. Your hands then feel stiffer as the seconds pass, and your hands ache because you just cracked your knuckles and are trying again thanks to your awareness of the problem. So what can we do to fix it? Well, I have personally found that squeezing a stressball helps when the need to crack occurs. The squish of the ball feels nice in my hand, it also provides a bit of resistance, giving my fingers a bit of a work out, and my brain is now focused on the ball rather than the knuckles. After I get tired of squeezing the ball, my hands feel more relaxed and don't ache from repeated crackings.<br />
<br />
No one person will have the same method for beating a bad habit. The key is to find the right method for you and repeat it. The more you repeat it, the more it will ingrain in your brain. Now if this is a chemical habit, like nicotine addiction, it may be harder to quit with a normal method like this. Seek help if your withdrawals are particularly bad. There is no shame to admitting your addiction and seeking help. It shows that you have the strength to recognize a problem, and take steps to fix it.<br />
<br />
It's your life, be proud that you are trying to improve it by kicking bad habits. Don't be ashamed of your faults and failures, because you have the strength to seek a happier and healthier life, and at the end of the road, you can hold your head up high and proud in spite of those who didn't believe in you, and those who supported you will be all the more proud of your accomplishments.Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-26771837700456889622020-02-07T11:32:00.001-08:002020-02-07T11:32:24.773-08:00Mardi Gras!Hey hey, it's Mardi Gras again!

<br />
Last week we talked about using Gene Therapy to potentially reverse aging and cure dementia. While the treatment is showing promising signs in mice, there's still much research to go before human trials can begin. However there's another treatment that is moving to human trials very soon!<br />
<br />
Anyone who started a family or is familiar with the process, you might be aware of ultrasounds. For those who don't, Ultrasound devices use vibration at super high frequencies to create an image based on the bounce back of the sound waves, like a miniature sonar. Typically these are just for seeing into the abdomen to check on the development of a baby or for abnormalities in a patients body (it has more uses than just looking at babies). This ultrasonic frequency has a shocking benefit. When applied to the head, the frequency vibrates just high enough to stimulate the proteins in your brain that target the plaques associated with dementia!<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for ultrasound on brain" height="315" src="https://www.e-ultrasonography.org/upload//thumbnails/usg-14054-f5.gif" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Initially this procedure was conceived to stimulate blood flow for dementia medications, but science has stumbled on the added benefit of being a drug free treatment! Since this technique was discovered in 2015, scientists in The University of Queensland have had successful tests in using this method on various animals, and the board of ethics has approved human trials.<br />
<br />
While this is excellent news in being one step closer to the potential cure for dementia, science is a slow and methodical process, and we may not see the results for at least a decade. But we will keep our eyes on the studies and results as they develop!Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-58002802392226686092020-01-17T12:51:00.002-08:002020-01-17T12:51:23.295-08:00Genetherapy and Dementia<img alt="Related image" height="320" src="https://images.theconversation.com/files/279837/original/file-20190617-118539-130f0e2.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=1000&fit=clip" width="640" /><br />
<br />
There are many different kind of dementias and each one has their own cause, Alzheimer's is a build up of plaques in the brain, Vascular dementia is caused when brain blood vessels fail (meaning the brain isn't getting proper oxygen), and Lewy bodies are the build up of malformed proteins in the brain. All of these causes have one thing in common, they are the results of specific cells breaking down.<br />
<br />
In short, our DNA has these end caps called telomeres, that shorten as we age. It's excess data made to protect our chromosomes from fusing together or degrade from cell division. When we get older, there's less telomeres, and our cells begin to fail at maintaining bodily functions, like producing enzymes to keep plaques from building up, or maintaining the integrity of blood vessels.<br />
<br />
This is where the gene therapy comes in, geneticists in Michigan are looking at repairing these telomeres with an enzyme that extends a chromosome's telomere strands called telomerase. Now if we know there is a way to repair telomeres, why haven't we tested already? Telomerase comes from cancer cells, it's the reason cancer cells can reproduce indefinitely, and makes it incredibly difficult to kill. Scientists fear that using telomerase on our own bodies could turn our cells into cancer cells.<br />
<br />
Dr. Michael Fossel has been preparing trials on volunteers, but with how risky the procedure could be, progress has been slow. Tests on mice have been very promising, but humans and mice are vastly different creatures, and we never will truly know until human trials begin. Before we can expect to see any major trials and results, Dr. Fossel has to get approval from the board of ethics to ensure he has lowered the potential risks as much as possible.<br />
<br />
Could this be the cure all for dementia? The theory sounds solid on paper, "if dementia is caused by failing cells, then fix the cells" But science is a slow and methodical process of tests, revisions, more tests, and humans are incomprehensibly complex biologically. But every year, science slowly gets stronger and better, only time will tell when or if it's possible to reverse dementia.Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-77800224732162364232019-10-31T12:11:00.000-07:002019-10-31T12:11:17.363-07:00 <br />

Sundowning is a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It’s also known as “late-day confusion.” If someone you care for has dementia, their confusion and agitation may get worse in the late afternoon and evening. In comparison, their symptoms may be less pronounced earlier in the day.</div>

Your loved one is most likely to experience sundowning if they have mid-stage to advanced dementia. Learn about steps you can take to help reduce sundowning, for their benefit as well as your own.</div>

Dementia can make it hard to develop and remember new routines. Your loved one might react to unfamiliar places and things with feelings of stress, confusion, and anger. These feelings can play a large role in sundowning.</div>

Your loved one might experience sundowning as the result of changes in their circadian rhythms — their sleep-wake cycles. Adjusting the light in their home might help reduce their symptoms.</div>

According to a research review published in <hl-trusted-source class="css-12hs4c5" rationale="Highly respected database from the National Institutes of Health" source="PubMed Central" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; display: inline;">Psychiatric Investigation<span class="css-5a77tl icon-hl-trusted-source-after" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer;"><span class="sro" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; height: 1px; left: -10000px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: auto; width: 1px;">Trusted Source</span></span><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit;"></span></hl-trusted-source> some studies suggest light therapy can reduce agitation and confusion in people with dementia. Consider placing a full-spectrum fluorescent light about one meter away from your loved one for a couple of hours each morning. You can also try brightening the lights when your loved one feels confused or agitated, suggests the Alzheimer’s Association.</div>

Many people who experience sundowning syndrome have trouble sleeping at night. In turn, fatigue is a common trigger of sundowning. This can create a vicious cycle.</div>

Too much daytime dozing and inactivity can make it harder for your loved one to fall asleep at bedtime. To promote a good night’s sleep, help them stay active during the day. For example, go for a walk in the park together or clear some space to dance. This might help improve their sleep quality and reduce their sundowning symptoms. It can also help them enjoy better physical health.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Adjust their eating patterns</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", system-ui, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 25px;">
<span style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400;">Adjusting your loved one’s eating patterns may also help reduce their sundowning symptoms. Large meals can increase their agitation and may keep them up at night, especially if they consume caffeine or alcohol. Encourage your loved one to avoid those substances or enjoy them at lunch rather than dinner. Limiting their evening food intake to a hearty snack or light meal might help them feel more comfortable and rest easier at night.</span></div>

Try to help your loved one stay calm in the evening hours. Encourage them to stick to simple activities that aren’t too challenging or frightening. Frustration and stress can add to their confusion and irritability.</div>

If they have mid-stage or advanced dementia, watching television or reading a book might be too difficult for them. Instead, consider playing soft music to create a calm and quiet environment. It might be a nice time for them to snuggle with a beloved cat or other pet.</div>

Think back to the last time you were sick. Chances are you wanted to be surrounded by comforting thoughts, things, and people. For someone with dementia, the world can become a scary place. Comfort and familiarity can help them cope with this difficult time in life.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", system-ui, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 25px;">

Help fill your loved one’s life and home with things they find comforting. If they move into a hospital or assisted living facility, furnish the space around them with cherished items. For example, bring their favorite blanket or family photos to the new facility. This may help ease the transition and curb their sundowning symptoms.</div>

Each person has different triggers for sundowning. To help identify your loved one’s triggers, use a journal or smartphone app to track their daily activities, environments, and behaviors. Look for patterns to learn which activities or environments seem to make their symptoms worse.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", system-ui, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 25px;">

Sundowning syndrome can be exhausting, not just for your loved one but for you too. As a caregiver, it’s essential to take good care of yourself. You’ll be in a better position to give your loved one the patience and support they need when you’re rested and healthy.</div>

Try to eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep at night. Ask other family members or friends to spend time with your loved one, so you can enjoy regular breaks. You can also ask your doctor about respite care and other professional support services, which can help you take time out from your caregiving duties.</div>

Building your cognitive resilience can impact on how your brain buffers against disease or how quickly and to what extent you recover from a brain trauma. Individuals with a higher cognitive resilience have a greater capacity in both these areas.</div>

Sister Bernadette, a nun who took part in the Nun Study is a case in point. She had been a high school teacher and very active in her community. At the age of 85 she died of a heart attack. An autopsy upon her death discovered significantly advanced Alzheimer’s disease. The team following her during the study concluded that her level of cognitive resilience was able to create a buffer against the disease and she died of other causes.</div>

The media has also reported on the effects of brain plasticity and cognitive resilience after significant head traumas.The cases of both Congresswoman Gabriel Gifford or Canadian Army Captain Trevor Green come to mind. Both of them suffered devastating brain injuries – Congresswoman Gifford was shot in the head, Captain Green was attacked with an axe. Given their background, it is safe to assume that they had significant cognitive resilience. They were both able to rewire and recover significant brain function through both physical and mental exercises. Their example offers great hope for individuals with a traumatic brain injury.</div>

Cognitive Stimulation therapy offers healthy older adults a ways to improve and encourage higher levels of mental activity. This reduces the risk of developing dementia later on in life. Building cognitive resilience can happen at any stage of life – whether you are young or old. It is never too late!</div>

This engaged approach also works with individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Cognitive stimulation therapy programs, like those developed by Fit Minds, cover different areas of cognition and provide greater benefits than programs that focus on only one cognitive domain like memory. When we are engaged and interested we try harder. So programming that engages and interests an individual makes it easier for them to challenge their brains.</div>

Research has shown that CST is as effective as dementia drugs in improving cognition. Dr. Aimee Spector showed in a research trial that CST had the same positive impact as dementia drugs. This doesn’t mean you should replace drug therapy in treating dementia. CST is a great supporting therapy or alternative when drug options are not available. In fact, research has shown that CST improves outcomes when used in conjunction with dementia drugs.</div>

This is a function of the disease. Thus it makes it difficult for individuals to do self-paced brain exercise or activities. By engaging in a CST program the individual feels encouraged and supported in exercising their brain.</span></div>

We are wired to interact with other human beings. This applies to each of us – whether suffering from some form of dementia or not. The human to human contact allows for the programming to be immediately customized to the person. A computer can’t laugh with you – a computer can’t cry with you – why would we want it to? There is something immensely satisfying in interacting with another human being. A machine can’t replace that.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A sapphire is a “true blue.” Sapphires may feel “</span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">blue”</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> due to changes with the aging process, although there are no significant changes in cognition and no signs of dementia. They are committed to lifelong patterns, enjoying the things the way they’ve always been.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A Sapphire is a brain that is aging normally, flexible, organized, and is able to work with all the other GEMS. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People in a Sapphire state are the ideal care partners for someone living with dementia, as they possess the adaptability </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">to go with the flow</em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and appropriately interact with the GEMS state of the person in their care</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Note:</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When stressed, even a healthy brain can slip out of the Sapphire state. When that happens, the best thing you can do is to take a deep breath and a break (if possible) to help get yourself back into that calm and collected state.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;">The first stage of actual dementia, or the diamond stage, occurs with the first signs of change or signals of a stressed brain. Diamonds are “</span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: lato, sans-serif;">clear and sharp,</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;">” successful with established habits and routines. Diamonds like to feel competent and valued, and it is important for them to feel comfortable and in control. A diamond can still do things as they always have, but they become more territorial and less aware of boundaries.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;">People in a Diamond state are still clear and sharp, but become increasingly rigid. They tend to have a lot of facets to them, but are noticeably inflexible and are able to still </span><em style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif;">cut</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;"> you or hurt you. Diamonds don’t do well with change, but are still very much able to shine. They are who they were, but they are different. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif;">This can make it difficult for care partners to acknowledge that the person is really living with dementia, as they still know what they’re doing but appear increasingly stubborn.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;">Emeralds are green and <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“on the go.”</i> Vague, and flawed internally, they may get lost in their past life, places, and roles. They may have problems with communication and comprehension, asking who, what, where, and when often<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">.</span> Emeralds are most comfortable when doing familiar tasks. They like to engage, help others, feel like they have a purpose.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;">Unlike the Diamond, people living in the Emerald state are no longer clear and sharp. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif;">This is usually the state at which people begin to struggle and get identified as having something going on. Emeralds are on the go, but might get lost in time or place and their words aren’t always as clear and sharp as they used to be. An Emerald is flawed but unaware, thinking that everything is fine, so they may cast blame on someone else. In this state, care partners are likely to notice mistakes. Instead of pointing out the flaw, care partners will likely have much greater success by going with the flow.</span></div>

<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Amber likes to live</span> <i style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 300;">in moments of time, </i><span style="font-family: "lato" , sans-serif; font-weight: 300;">and are focused on sensation – manipulating, gathering and touching things. They are focused on wants and needs, and sometimes are exploratory without safety awareness. Their communication is limited with difficulty understanding and expressing needs, so activities selected need be familiar and sensory stimulating.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">People living in an Amber state tend to be caught in a moment of time. Many Amber's are all about sensations, and what something feels like. They are therefore more curious than cautious, and lack safety awareness. An Amber is all about seeking things they like, but may strongly respond to things they don’t like. So, this is the state at which care partners often struggle to not turn into a Diamond themselves, as the person’s behavior is so inconsistent with who they used to be.</span></h4>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;">Rubies experience late-stage changes as fine motor skills are very limited. Loses in depth perception, as well as limited visual awareness and major sensory changes result in needed assistance with utensils, brushing, buttoning and moving. Hand-under-hand assistance helps rubies feel</span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: lato, sans-serif;"> safe</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , sans-serif;"> and </span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: lato, sans-serif;">secure.</i><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-style: normal;">In this state of dementia, fine-motor skills in a person’s eyes, fingers, mouth, and feet begin to fade. A Ruby might therefore have trouble figuring things out visually, and struggle with speech production as well as chewing and swallowing at times. While fine-motor skills get lost, a Ruby can still do larger, gross movements, like clapping hands or holding onto things. In this state the person’s strength remains fairly unchanged, so they might firmly hold on to you or miscellaneous items without knowing how to let go. It’s easy for care partners to get stressed and </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif;">go Diamond</em><span style="font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-style: normal;"> in this state, so it is particularly important to take a step back, take a deep breath so you can get oxygen to your brain, and try to let go of what was so you can be a Sapphire once again.</span></span></i></div>

Pearls enjoy pleasant sounds and familiar voices, grasping onto moments of connection.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: lato, sans-serif;">Understanding each stage of the process allows care partners to gain a deeper insight into what clients are experiencing. After an in-home assessment, we work to create a plan of care to help your loved one live in the comfort of their home.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: lato, sans-serif;">The model allows care partners to build activity lists and communication techniques that aid individuals through each stage.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif;">Similar to an oyster shell, which tend to be ugly on the outside but can hold a treasured GEM on the inside, care partners can find a Pearl in this last state of dementia if they just know where and how to look. In this state, the brain has changed so that the person’s reflexes are turned on non-stop, body systems begin to shut down, and gross motor skills are lost. The person becomes trapped, but with the right care the shell relaxes just enough to produce the amazing Pearl that is still there. In this state care partners tend to spend way too much energy on preserving the shell, but miss the GEM that’s still residing inside.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">By seeing the person living with dementia as the valuable GEM they are and offering them the right care and setting, we’re giving them the opportunity to shine.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-weight: 400;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "hind"; font-size: 20px;">Do you have a loved one in your life whom you care about? There are a variety of ways to show that love and concern, whether the person is living independently or in a senior living community. You call. You send cards. You visit when you can. You stay connected. Your behaviors show that you care deeply about maintaining this senior’s quality of life. But there’s another way to show you care, especially if you have a loved one with dementia.</span></div>

If you’re caring for a loved one with dementia, you are probably already looking for ways to maintain that person’s quality of life. Our Personal Trainer for the Mind cognitive coaching program extends beyond rote memorization tasks or doing the same games repeatedly. The program is based on research findings that validate the impact of regularly challenging people with novel content to help them maintain and even possibly improve their cognitive ability.</div>

Finally, family members receive monthly reporting and feedback about the senior’s cognitive functioning and engagement.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">When it comes to aging, it’s no longer about simply living longer. We want to live happier and healthier as well. In other words, we want to live better. A physically strong, adaptable body is an essential aspect of health, but mental sharpness and flexibility matter, too. Is it possible to maintain that mental acuity as you get older? And can you reduce your risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease by engaging your brain?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The short answer appears to be yes. A growing body of research indicates that mental stimulation can help maintain and possibly improve cognitive ability as people age. Other studies suggest that cognitive stimulation therapy not only can help maintain mental sharpness and acuity, but also may reduce the risk of developing dementia. This kind of “brain work” may help stabilize the cognitive function of people with mild Alzheimer’s disease, according to research. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As the link between cognitive stimulation therapy and dementia continues to be explored, we will learn more about how keeping the brain engaged helps reduce the risk of cognitive decline. If you work in a senior living community, you may already appreciate the importance of maintaining cognitive function as people age. Maybe you’re looking for unique activities for someone with Alzheimer’s or you want to provide high-quality engaging mental stimulation to your residents. Or maybe you just want to make sure you’re doing what you can to help your mom, dad or other relative maintain as much brain function as possible as he or she gets older ages.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That’s what we offer at Touching Hearts Senior Care. Our programs are geared to individuals who live independently, as well as those who reside in senior living communities. Our programs provide mental stimulation to seniors of all cognitive abilities, including those with dementia and mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. When it comes to brain health, it appears that the “move it or lose it” theory holds true. For example, there is a meaningful decrease in cognitive performance that comes with retirement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "hind"; font-size: small;">Research suggests this is because when we stop engaging in cognitively complex tasks, we lose synaptic connections in our brain. As we get older, the connections that are not used are deleted in something researchers call “synaptic pruning.”</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> PRECLINICAL ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE TO END-STAGE ALZHEIMER’S</b><br />
<br />
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease, developing slowly and gradually worsening, typically over a period of several years. It impacts memory, thinking, language, problem-solving, and even personality and movement as the disease progresses. While not everyone will experience the same symptoms, and the disease may progress at a different rate for each individual, there is a similar trajectory that most people follow as the disease progresses. The typical progression of Alzheimer’s disease may be broken down into three, five, or seven stages. </div>

In the first stage, a person with Alzheimer’s disease has no memory impairment with no evident symptoms of dementia. At this stage, Alzheimer’s disease is undetectable. This stage is also sometimes called No Cognitive Decline.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b>Stage Two: Very Mild Cognitive Decline</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
In this stage, a person with Alzheimer’s disease begins to experience the typical forgetfulness associated with aging. They may forget where they left their car keys or their purse. These symptoms are typically not noticed by the individual’s family members or physician.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Individuals in this stage experience increased forgetfulness as well as slight difficulty with focus or concentration. These symptoms may result in decreased work performance for those in the workforce, or for those who do not hold outside employment, they may experience decreased performance in ordinary household tasks such as cleaning or paying bills. They may get lost or begin to struggle to find the right words in communication.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
In stage three, increased forgetfulness and decreased performance are likely to be noticed by the person’s family members. The average duration of stage three is approximately seven years prior to the onset of dementia.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b>Early-Stage Dementia</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
In the first three stages above, an individual is not considered to have dementia. At stage four, however, that changes, and a person is considered to have early-stage dementia. Note that early-stage dementia differs from early-onset dementia or early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, which refers to the onset of clinical symptoms prior to age 65.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
<b><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stage Four: Moderate Cog</span>nitive Decline</b></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Stage four comprises what is clinically described as early-stage dementia. A person with early-stage dementia (in stage four of the seven-stage model) will experience increased forgetfulness, often forgetting recent events, as well as difficulty concentrating, difficulty with problem-solving, and difficulty managing finances. They may have challenges when traveling to unfamiliar areas alone, and they may have difficulty performing complex tasks or organizing and expressing thoughts.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
People in stage four may also be in denial about their forgetfulness and other symptoms, and as socialization becomes increasingly difficult, they may begin to withdraw from family and friends. In stage four, a healthcare provider can easily identify cognitive decline in an examination and interview with the patient. The average duration of stage four is approximately two years.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Major memory deficiencies are present beginning in stage five, and people in this stage of the disease may require assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and preparing meals. Memory deficits in this stage are severe, with individuals often forgetting prominent bits of information that affect their daily lives – such as their home address or phone number. They may not be able to identify where they are (orientation to place) or what time of day it is (orientation to time). Stage five lasts, on average, one and a half years.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b>Stage Six: Severe Cognitive Decline</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Also known as Middle Dementia, stage six marks a period in which a person requires substantial assistance to carry out day-to-day activities. They may have little memory of recent events and forget the names of close friends or family members. Many people in stage six have limited memory of their earlier lives and will also have difficulty completing tasks or successfully exhibiting cognitive skills such as counting backwards from 10.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
People in stage six may also begin to experience incontinence of bowel or bladder, and speech ability is often diminished. Significant personality changes may also be noticeable at this stage, as individuals may suffer from delusions, anxiety, or agitation. This stage lasts an average of about two and a half years.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">

At this stage, most people will have lost their ability to speak or communicate. They often require assistance with most of their activities, including toileting, eating, dressing, bathing, and other daily activities, around the clock. Because people in stage seven often lose psychomotor capabilities, they may be unable to walk or require significant assistance with ambulation. This stage lasts an average of two and a half years.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that gradually worsens over a period of four to 20 years. On average, however, most people live between four and eight years following diagnosis. The progression of the disease may be different for each individual, but family members and caregivers should familiarize themselves with the typical stages that occur throughout progression. It’s a challenging road to travel for both the person with Alzheimer’s disease and those who love them, but knowing what to expect can help to ease some stress and uncertainty.</div>

But what exactly is a "Lewy Body?" and what causes it?<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="478" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Lewy_bodies_%28alpha_synuclein_inclusions%29.svg/1280px-Lewy_bodies_%28alpha_synuclein_inclusions%29.svg.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Various aggregations of Lewy Bodies in nerve cells under a microscope</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
A Lewy Body is a spherical deposit of protein that appears inside of nerve cells, displacing normal cell components, and disrupting the function of that cell. Originally discovered in 1910, by Fritz Heinrich Lewy, a Lewy Body was discovered in the brain tissue of patients acting different than normal. These protein deposits can cause Parkinson's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and Multiple System Atrophy.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image result for protein folding by chaperones" src="https://cdn.rcsb.org/pdb101/motm/images/chaperonin.gif" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A model of a Protein Chaperone in charge of folding proteins</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
These bodies of proteins form as a malfunction in a cell's aggresome functions. Aggresome is what happens when a cell compiles misfolded protiens and and stores them in one location to be refolded by molecular chaperones. Unfortunately when the cell degenerates too fast and aggresome can't keep up with the excess of folded proteins, the deposit grows and if it grows in the brain stem, a Lewy Body is formed. If enough Lewy Bodies form, then the individual will develop a disease like LBD (lewy body dementia) or Parkinson's.Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-32286856615790757192019-07-12T11:14:00.001-07:002019-07-12T11:14:10.047-07:00Hoyer SafetyHoyer Lifts, or more commonly known as "Patient Lifts," are essential tools for safely lifting and transferring an immobile person from bed to chair. or where ever they need to be. It's a simple mechanism designed to reduce the strain on your body from lifting and moving someone. While it may be simple enough to operate, one must still be trained on how to safely use a Hoyer Lift. Without proper training you might hurt yourself or the person you are caring for.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for hoyer lift safety" src="https://www.phc-online.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/hpl402-diagram.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Above is an example of a lift, Read the manual to it, you'll need to know the weight limits of your lift. One of the most important safety measures, is make sure the casters are spread, and the wheels are locked before you attempt to lift anyone. The casters are there to make sure the lift doesn't fall over, and the locks keep it from rolling while lifting, which could also cause it to fall.<br />
<br />
Make sure to attach each sling loop on the correct hooks and at the proper settings for your patient. We are all different sizes, so there are varying loop lengths to ensure the sling is snug and safe for any size.<br />
<br />
Once the sling is secure you can lift and transfer the person around to where they are needed. Don't use this as a wheel chair substitute though. A Hoyer is designed fro transferring from one surface to another, not for carrying someone around the house.Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-53165991713002494472019-06-27T12:07:00.003-07:002019-06-27T12:07:52.834-07:00Stimulate your Brain with a Hobby<img alt="Image result for binge television health risks" src="https://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/articles/health_tools/binge_watching_and_your_health_slideshow/493ss_thinkstock_rf_eating_chips.jpg" /><br />

Television, while entertaining, isn't very productive or healthy for you. In moderation television is fine, but we now live in the era of binge watching. Whole seasons of television shows released at once, all at our fingertips thanks to the power of the internet. Self control is out of the window and odds are we have all wasted a day watching back to back TV shows. I know I have wasted several days watching my favorite shows, but all that sitting and not moving isn't healthy for our bodies. There are many forms of entertainment that we can partake in that can engage our bodies and our minds. Find a hobby that you enjoy the most, it doesn't have to be the most physically engaging thing or the most stressful mind puzzle, just something to pass the time without it being absolutely mindless.<br />

I'm not telling you to quit TV, "cold-turkey" and give up on your favorite shows, I'm encouraging you to engage your mind more often, and try new things! I personally enjoy arts and crafts hobbies, particularly drawing illustrations/writing comics, and building/painting miniatures. I'm a fidgety person at heart, so I need to have hobbies that keep my hands busy.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While most people love and care for their elders, it is a sad truth that Elder Abuse is far too frequent in today's society. Last Saturday was Elder Abuse Awareness day and in honor of it, I would like to bring up the common types of elder abuse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Over half a million US citizens are victims to elder abuse each year, and abuse can come in many forms. Abuse is not just physical, but can also be emotional or financial. Physical abuse is easy to spot, like bruises, scared behavior. Other forms of abuse can be much more difficult to identify.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-weight: 700;">Physical elder abuse</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> – The non-accidental use of force against an elderly person that results in physical pain, injury, or impairment. Such abuse includes not only physical assaults such as hitting or shoving but the inappropriate use of drugs, restraints, or confinement.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Emotional elder abuse</span> – The treatment of an older adult in ways that cause emotional or psychological pain or distress, including; Intimidation through yelling or threats, humiliation and ridicule, habitual blaming or scapegoating, ignoring the elderly person, isolating an elder from friends or activities, or terrorizing or menacing the elderly person.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sexual elder abuse</span> – Contact with an elderly person without their consent. Such contact can involve physical sex acts, but activities such as showing an elderly person pornographic material, forcing the person to watch sex acts, or forcing the elder to undress are also considered sexual elder abuse</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Elder neglect</span> – Failure to fulfill a caretaking obligation. This constitutes more than half of all reported cases of elder abuse. It can be intentional or unintentional, based on factors such as ignorance or denial that an elderly charge needs as much care as they do.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Financial exploitation</span> – The unauthorized use of an elderly person’s funds or property, either by a caregiver or an outside scam artist. An unscrupulous caregiver might; misuse an elder’s personal accounts, steal money or household goods, forge the elder’s signature, engage in identity theft. Typical scams that target elders include; announcement of a “prize” that the elderly person has won but must pay money to claim, phony charities, investment fraud.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Healthcare fraud and abuse</span> – Carried out by unethical doctors, nurses, hospital personnel, and other professional care providers. This can include; not providing healthcare but charging for it, overcharging or double-billing for medical care or services,getting kickbacks for referrals to other providers or for prescribing certain drugs, overmedicating or undermedicating, recommending fraudulent remedies for illnesses or other medical conditions, medicaid fraud.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 20px;">
If you suspect someone is a victim of elder abuse or are a victim of elder abuse yourself, seek help immediately. Contact your doctor, a family member you can trust, a close friend, and contact an elder care hotline such as: 1-800-677-1116 for the Elder Care Locator. Your safety is important, do not confront you or your loved one's abuser alone.</div>

You might be worried that if you exercise with your weakened joints, that you'll only cause further pain and hurt yourself rather than help. It's a logical fear, but worry not, our bodies aren't like Car Breaks or the Tip of an Eraser where the more you use it, the less effective it is. The more we work out our joints the stronger they become, the key is to pace yourself and do some warm ups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img alt="Image result for knee exercises" height="224" src="https://upl.stack.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/10120448/Knee-Injury-stack.jpg" width="400" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Riding an elliptical, walk on a treadmill, do wall push ups. These and other light exercises are low impact and will warm up your body for exercise. Reducing your risk for injury and help get your body into the momentum of a workout!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">1. Straight Leg Raises</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If your knee’s not at its best, start with a simple strengthening exercise for your quadriceps, the muscles in the front of the thigh. This move puts little to no strain on the knee. Lie on your back on the floor or another flat surface. Bend one knee and place your foot flat on the floor. Keeping the other leg straight, raise it to the height of the opposite knee. Repeat 10-15 times for three sets.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; line-height: 1.025; margin: 0px 10.5rem 1rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">2. Hamstring Curls</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the muscles along the back of your thigh. Lie flat on your stomach. Slowly bring your heels as close to your butt as you can, and hold that position. Do three sets of 15. You can also do this exercise standing while you hold onto a chair and lift one leg at a time. If this becomes easy, you can add ankle weights, slowly increasing the weight from 1 to 3 to 5 pounds.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333132; line-height: 1.025; margin: 0px 10.5rem 1rem 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lie on your stomach with your legs straight. Tighten the muscles in your bottom and the hamstring of one leg, and lift toward the ceiling. Hold 3-5 seconds, lower, and repeat. Do 10-15 lifts and switch sides. You can add ankle weights as you gain strength. You shouldn’t feel back pain. If you do, limit how high you lift up. If it still hurts, stop and talk to your doctor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a more advanced move. You’ll keep your feet on the floor. Stand with your back against a wall, your feet about shoulder-width apart. Slowly bend your knees, and keep your back and pelvis against the wall. Hold for 5-10 seconds. Don’t bend too deeply. If you feel pressure or discomfort in your knees, change your position. Repeat the exercise, and try to hold the sit position a few seconds longer each time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stand facing the back of a sturdy chair, other support such as the back of a couch, or a wall bar at the gym. You can also do this on the stairs, holding on to the banister with your heels hanging off the edge of the step. Slowly raise the heels as high as you can, then lower. Do three sets of 10-15. When it becomes easy, lift one foot slightly off the floor, with all your weight on the other foot.</span></div>

Raw meats can contain an array of harmful bacteria and parasites that could lead to dangerous food borne illnesses. Here are a few tips to keep your food fresher longer, by knowing how to properly handle raw meats.<br />
<br />
<b>Proper Storage: </b>Always store your raw meats on the bottom most shelf of your fridge, this will prevent food contamination should the packaging ever leak. Last thing you would want is raw meat drippings on your fruits and cooked foods. Make sure your fridge is anywhere between 34 - 40 Degrees Fahrenheit.<br />
<br />
<b>Handling:</b> Always separate raw meats from other foods when cooking, especially on cutting boards and utensils. Never place cooked meat on a surface that was in contact with raw meat unless its been cleaned with hot, soapy water.<br />
<br />
<b>Cooking Guidelines</b>: Washing meat is pointless unless your trying to remove particulate, all it will do is contaminate other surfaces with the splash. The only way to kill contaminates is to cook food to a proper food temperature. When you get your food, freeze it unless you plan to cook it within the next 3-5 days. Fresh beef, lamb, pork, and veal, should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees, while poultry is safe at 165 degrees, and ground meats should be cooked to 160 degrees.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for food safe temperature" height="329" src="https://buythermopro.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/server-safe-meat.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
You might be wondering why some animals can eat raw meat and not get sick, that might be because they have stronger appendix than us. According to newer studies, the appendix protects the good bacteria in your digestive tract from the bad bacteria. The reason we cook our food other than it tastes good, it kills harmful bacteria and parasites that might have made its way onto or inside your food. Generations of cooking our food means we were ingesting less and less food borne bacteria, making our appendix weaker as humanity grew. Some meats are safer to eat raw or near raw like sushi or steak, but it is always best to make sure food is cooked to a proper internal temperature.Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-35765915724157927322019-05-31T11:30:00.004-07:002019-05-31T11:31:06.133-07:00Getting Important Resource info<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When a loved one develops dementia, it can be a very scary process. You might not know where to go or how to care for your loved one. It's this reason that Gulf Coast Dementia Services exists. Gina Germany had started a non profit, who's goal is to spread awareness of dementia, and make resources available to those in need. So I and a few board members teamed up and prepared the Resource Guide Book. It has everything you need, from information about dementia, some steps you may need to take, and a complete list of phone numbers of experts you can call (all sorted in specific categories, no less!)</div>

<br />
So now you might be asking, "How can I get a hold of this compendium of information that I need?" Well my dear friend you are in luck, because it is absolutely free! If you live in the Gulf Coast region of Alabama you might have already seen this book at some hospitals and senior care facilities. If you haven't seen it or don't want to waste time hunting one down, you can call us at 251-445-4204 and I'll prepare a book for you or you can go to GCDS's website and download a digital copy to print for yourself. Just go to gcseniorservices.com and scroll all the way to the bottom of the home page. There you will see the image listed above with a working button to let you download a readable PDF of our book. From there all you have to do is press "print" when you open the file. Hopefully you find this information helpful, and you can help donate to Gulf Coast Dementia Services so we can continue to bring you more resource guides and spread awareness to the troubles of Dementia!Touching Hearts Senior Carehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473485653407779750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156309505880452863.post-89324791483536569292019-05-24T12:22:00.000-07:002019-05-24T12:22:14.047-07:00Dangers of Summer Heat<div>
<img alt="Image result for dangers of summer heat" height="360" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U9WlcMB5WfY/maxresdefault.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
It's progressively getting hotter as the days get longer and there are some hidden dangers of the sunny days, especially with cars. While it may only be 70 - 90 degrees outside the insides of cars trap in heat and it can get much hotter, dangerously so. While a typical, 80 degree, day might be toasty but nice, in a car it would only take a few minutes to get to 110 degrees. That may not sound too hot to be dangerous but remember, if your core temperature reaches 107 degrees, then the proteins and enzymes in your body will breakdown and cease to function, leading to death. This is why you should never leave a child, pet, or anyone in the car unattended in the summer. Cracking a window isn't enough the airflow is too stagnant to get the heat out at a safe rate, if you ever have to leave someone in the car, leave it running with the AC on full blast.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="Image result for dangers of summer heat on pavement" src="https://www.adoptapet.com/blog/uploads/2012/08/Hot-Asphalt-Awareness1.jpg" /><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cars aren't the only danger with summer heat, asphalt is also dangerous in the sun. As you might already know, black and other dark colors absorb heat very well and can heat up fast. Roads and parking lots are exposed to the sunlight all day making them very hot. Walking across one can lead to a heat stroke if you dont stay hydrated, and could even burn your feet if you aren't wearing shoes. For the safety of pets and small children, please avoid pavement where possible and walk on grass.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Summer is great and fun, but remember that there are dangers everywhere. Take necessary precautions, stay hydrated, and be safe!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Modern medicine is amazing these days, we can repair parts of our bodies that fail, or even gain prosthetics that react to our own muscle movements for our lost limbs. One modern marvel is the Hip replacement, a ceramic or metal ball and socket used to replace our own hip joint should the bone degenerate or break. This procedure is fairly common in people over the ages of 65 (370,000 Americans each year replace their hip) and it helps correct the joint pain of a bad hip. Unfortunately medicine isn't perfect, and at least 10% of all people who get a hip replacement have to have a 2nd procedure to repair the new joint because of mechanical failure, dislocation, or infection. So what can we do to avoid getting a hip replacement? Exercise of course, keeping your body in peak condition is the best thing you can do to keep yourself healthy!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below are various hip exercises you can do to build muscle strength and reduce your risk of having to replace that hip!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Good Morning</b>, stand with your feet spread apart slightly, then bow as far as you can or until your torso is parallel with the floor. Keep your core braced, don't want to injure your back while you're protecting your hips!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The Glute Bridge</b>, lay on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, clench your glutes as you raise your hips til you form a slope. Hold the position for a bit, then lower.</div>
