KEEPING FIT IN ASSISTED LIVING

Summer is here, which means exercise and staying fit are top of mind. This should also apply to older Americans. While it is common to believe that assisted living limits your freedom, the truth shows the exact opposite. Assistive living’s goal is to give you as much freedom as possible. One way we do this is by making it easy and encouraging residents to exercise regularly. We have some tips for you if you or someone you love is having trouble staying fit in assisted living Myrtle Beach.

1) Know Your Limits

Our bodies age and we may not be able to perform certain exercises as often as we used to. To stay fit, you must first recognize your limitations and stop pushing yourself too hard. This can lead to injury. You can create a workout program that suits you once you have established your limits.

2) Explore Your Options

Many assisted living communities provide exercise facilities and equipment for residents. Ask staff members if they have any information that can help you stay fit. You may be amazed at all the options that are available to you. At Stillwater Senior Living, for example, we offer something new every day! We encourage you to explore our beautiful hallways!

3) Find a Workout Buddy

A great benefit of assisted living is its sense of community. It is a great idea to find a buddy to work out with. You can have someone take your dance class, or go for a walk along with you. Working out with someone makes it much more enjoyable and allows you to make connections with other assisted living residents. You are certain to find a friend in any of our classes.

4) Get Outside

The Midwest has very little suitable summer weather so it is important that we take advantage of any good weather. Exercise in nature has been proven to be beneficial for both mental and physical health. Get outside and take in the fresh air and beauty of nature as often as you can. It is also important to keep in mind that summer is often very hot, especially July and August. This means that exercising outside may not be possible. Try to do your exercise first thing in the morning, before it gets too hot.

Reflections Assisted Living at Carolina Forest ensures all seniors receive proper care including physical activities to keep them fit.

TIP TO CELEBRATE FALL IN ASSISTED LIVING

Fall is a wonderful time of the year. There are so many things to do even for the residents of assisted living facilities. Fall is a great time to go outside to enjoy the changing leaves, especially since the weather cools down, so we don’t have to worry too much about heat stroke. You can also enjoy the traditional harvest foods.

You are wrong to think that older Americans should be denied the wonderful aspects of fall because they are getting older. These are just a few of the many ways that you can enjoy autumn with your loved ones, regardless of their age.

1) Take a hike

It is great to get outside and walk around. Autumn is a good time of the year. It’s cool enough to not worry about heatstroke and warm enough to not worry about frostbite. It is also the most beautiful season of the year. You can admire the changing leaves and the late-blooming flowers by simply walking around your neighborhood.

These walks can be made into a game with family and friends by having them spot the most autumn colors or taking the best picture.

If your loved one is unable to walk or uses a wheelchair, we are blessed with beautiful sidewalks and stunning scenery in our assisted living community. Stop by to see us!

2) Get in the Kitchen

Autumn is a great season to bake and cook seasonal dishes because of the cooler temperatures. You can roast squash and apples with ground pork to make delicious meals. You can also puree them in hot water to make soup (autumn is great for soups or stews).

You can make fancy pumpkin and apple muffins, or both! While pie is the most obvious option, you can use them in everything from muffins and cakes to bread and cookies. You can make your entire house smell divine by using pumpkin pie spice.

3) Dress up

It is hard to find someone who doesn’t love dressing up as another person or something for a day. This is why Halloween is so popular. So get out your old costumes and put on some masks and hats to create something amazing within the assisted living facility.

4) Get Crafty

You can make your own fall crafts with your older Americans by having them create their own masks using glue, colored paper and markers. You don’t have to limit yourself to what you find in the stores or your closet when you can create a mask that is unique to your own.

Reflections Assisted Living at Carolina Forest’s mission is to make sure that our residents have the best season possible. This could mean spending time outdoors, crafting, cooking, or just enjoying life in general. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our efforts to keep residents healthy and happy throughout the year. Reach out to start the conversation.

3 WAYS TO MAKE ASSISTED LIVING EASIER FOR LOVED ONES THIS FALL

The Spooky Season is here and you may prefer horror fiction to your everyday life. However, the idea of moving into assisted living is a frightening prospect for many older Americans. But, of all the scary things in life, we don’t believe that moving into assisted housing should be. Having to live in assisted living is one of the worst nightmares.

We have tips for making the transition to assisted living less frightening, whether you are worried about your own move or those of your loved ones.

Find the right assisted living community for you

It can make the transition easier for you and your loved ones by making sure that you are connected to the right assisted living community. When weighing the pros and con’s of assisted living communities, there are many things you should consider:

• Cost: While money is not the only factor, an assisted living community that can meet all your needs will not be able to help you if your budget doesn’t allow for it. Before you begin looking into assisted living communities, you should first take a hard look at your finances.
• It’s all about location. They may want to relocate to a warmer area or to be near their family. It can help to come up with a list ahead of time so you can check it against your various assisted living options to see which one meets the greatest number of your requirements/preferences.
• Reviews are important in every aspect of life, from dating to business. The reputation of the assisted living facility you choose is no exception. We are always supportive of high-quality assisted living communities but the truth is that not all communities can meet our high standards. It is important not to leave your loved ones’ care to chance. Do your research ahead of time so they are in good hands.

Give it time for reality to set in

It is a great way to convince your loved one to move into assisted living immediately. Don’t wait until your loved one is absolutely in need of assisted living. Give them notice months or even years ahead of the time they will be moving into assisted living. Talk to your loved one about the many benefits that assisted living has. Ask them about their dreams for their golden years, and then suggest ways that assisted living could fit in that vision.

Take them on a tour

Fear of the unknown is what we are most afraid of. Even though there is nothing to fear, it can be a frightening image that we create in our heads. You can prevent your loved one from falling for this trap by taking them along on a tour of the assisted living community. They will be able to see it firsthand and begin to imagine what life would be like. They will soon be more comfortable with the idea of moving there.

We can help you with everything, including a tour and general information about what your loved ones can expect when they move to assisted living. To begin your transition to an assisted living community that is better for you, all you need to do it to reach out.

At Reflections Assisted Living, we do our best to make your loved ones feel at home. Call us today to know more about our assisted living services.

ASSISTED LIVING – DEALING WITH DEMENTIA PATIENTS

These are some of the ways primary carers and family members can approach the difficult question: “What do you say to someone with dementia who is in assisted living and wants to go home?” A person living with dementia may say that they would like to return home. This could be due to time-shifting and can be distressing.

Here are 5 things to keep in mind when someone with dementia asks for their home:

1. Do not argue about whether they are ‘home’.

A person with dementia may refer to their home as more than just the current place they live. A person with dementia may ask to be taken home if they feel at home. Home could be a place or time where they feel safe and secure, and where they are happy and relaxed. It may also refer to an indefinable location that does not exist physically. Try to not disagree with the person, or to try to reason with them about their desire to return home.

This is a better alternative:

It is important to recognize and understand the emotions behind your desire to return home. It might not have been the last place they lived. It could be the place they used to live before they moved, or it could be a place from their distant past. People with dementia often describe their home as a peaceful, idyllic, or happy place. It might be a good idea to encourage them to share their reasons for being happy in that place. It can help them to see what might be needed to feel better. It will also help to look for a reputable assisted living facility in Myrtle Beach. Dementia patients require special care to help them live out their lives as peacefully as possible.

2. Reassure them about their safety

It is likely that the desire to return home is the same as any other desire if you find yourself in an unfamiliar and unsettling place.

This is a better alternative:

Talk to the person and if necessary, touch their arm or hold them with your hands. Make sure the person knows they are safe. This can help the person feel safe and secure. You may find them living in a different place than they did before and they need to know that they are being cared for. Visiting local assisted living communities in your area will widen your options for elderly care.

3. Divert the conversation

Keep a photo album on hand. Sometimes, looking back at photos from the past can help ease anxiety. You might avoid asking questions about the photo or past. Instead, you can make comments like “That looks just like Uncle Fred.” Granny shared with me the time he…. Alternatively, you might try to divert them with food or music, or any other activity, such as a walk.

4. Determine if they feel lonely or unhappy

An individual with dementia might want to “go home” because they feel anxious, depressed, or afraid. The feeling of being in an unfamiliar place can be unsettling. Dementia patients better cope within a local assisted living community.

Does the person living with dementia feel happy or sad? It may be possible to find out why they are unhappy. If they are unable to tell you why a member or another resident may know.

As with other people, dementia patients may behave out of character when they are in bad moods or have a bad day.

Is the dementia patient still talking about the possibility of going home, even though they aren’t being visited in the home? Is he/she able to settle down? Staff at the home might know.

5. Keep track of the times they ask to return home

Some times might be worse than others. What is the common thread? Are you near meals (and could a snack help?)? Are you experiencing it in noisy environments? Are you experiencing it at night, possibly because of the sundowning effect?

You can reduce or eliminate triggers if you spot a pattern.

November is Alzheimer’s Foundation month and is represented by the color teal. Here in Myrtle Beach, we are Teal Nation for our local college.

TIPS TO TRANSITION TO ASSISTED LIVING

Transitioning to assisted living communities can be daunting for loved ones who have lived in their home for many years. It’s often one of the most difficult changes seniors will have to make in their later years.

It’s impossible to eliminate the anxiety and worries that accompany this move. There are steps you can take that will help you and your loved ones make the transition easier.

We have compiled a list of tips and tricks for transitioning into assisted living after speaking extensively to our members, their caregivers, and their families.

Get Prepared Before You Move

There are many things you can do to prepare for the assisted living facility once you have made the decision to move. Here’s our top advice for moving to assisted living communities:

Choose the right assisted living community

It is worth your time to visit multiple assisted living communities within your local area. You will get a feel for the community’s social atmosphere, dining options, amenities, and overall vibe. You’ll be able take your time and research early before you feel the need to make a decision. We know that this is not always true.

However, it is important to have the chance to speak with caregivers, leaders, and staff when visiting a community. Pay attention to the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Also, be aware of whether residents are happy in their surroundings. If in doubt, trust intuition.

Know the costs

Make sure you understand the pricing structure of each community before making your final decision. Some will provide true, all-inclusive pricing. This means that there is one monthly fee that covers everything. Others will offer “levels-of-care pricing,” which is a program that charges based on the level of care your loved ones receive.

Although a community may claim its pricing is all-inclusive, it is worth asking if the rate you pay can be adjusted based on the level of care received. If they answer yes, it is not all-inclusive.

After choosing an assisted living facility in Myrtle Beach, arrange a time to visit or tour it at least one more time before moving in.

It doesn’t hurt to get to know the community after you have made your decision. You can visit the campus again if you have the time. Talk with residents and take part in community events. Enjoy a meal in the dining hall. It is important to make arrangements with your community in advance to allow them to plan the agenda while you are there.

Pack Deliberately and Efficiently

Talk to your local community to find out whether they provide packing service. This will help you transition to assisted living easier. Deal with the the most crucial items and don’t worry about packing everything.

To save time and keep your packing process organized, we recommend making lists. Begin with the most important items such as toiletries, medication, clothing, bedding, and furniture. Once you have dealt with the major items, move on to the smaller items. It is much easier to pack if you take it step by step, and do not rush.

Take care of all logistical and housekeeping items.

There are many logistical details that must be addressed when you move to assisted living. Plan to cancel any ongoing utilities, such as cable and internet, that are being provided in your loved one’s new community. To have mail sent from your loved one’s old address to their new address by the postal service, contact them.

Also, update their address on credit cards, bank accounts and any other lists that might include their address. You can also ask your local community for assistance, as they might offer logistical support. Keep track of all moving expenses. They are tax-deductible.

Allow for the emotional transition

There are always fears and concerns, no matter how prepared you or someone close to you are for assisted living. This type of move is not for everyone, so it’s normal to feel anxious. Social circles can be used to support you, whether it’s family, friends, spiritual guides or online resources.

Talking about your fears can help you overcome them. The most important thing we can advise is to be patient. Everyone has an emotional transition that takes place at a different time.

Set up your loved one’s new home.

It is a great way to make them feel comfortable in their new home. You should arrange furniture and decorations in the same way as in the old home. It is important to display sentimental items prominently.

It is a good idea to ask your local assisted living community about their moving, packing and unpacking services. They should be able help you with this. It will make the transition easier by creating a functional, yet beautiful living space.

HOW TO HELP YOUR SENIOR PARENT ADJUST TO ASSISTED LIVING

Although change is inevitable, it is also difficult to accept and adapt to changes. Many of us don’t want to accept change. This is especially true for seniors who move from their homes into assisted living communities.

Many seniors over 60 are not open to change because they fear that they will be isolated and are uncertain of the impact on their lives.

Some seniors, on the other hand, are more open to change and adapting to their new surroundings. It is exciting to be able to move into a new place, do social activities, and enjoy hobbies.

Regardless of the reason, senior parents may find it difficult to adjust to the new community for the first few days or even months.

It is important to spend time with your senior loved ones and to offer them support, encouragement, and positive reassurance to help them adjust to their new life.

These are some tips to ease the transition of your senior parent to assisted living

1. Keep in touch

Seniors are reluctant to move into assisted living facilities because of their fear of being isolated.

Do not allow your senior parent to feel isolated and abandoned in an assisted living facility. You can make sure they are surrounded by your support and love through regular visits.

You can introduce predictability to your visits. You can, for example, set aside Saturdays in your weekly calendar to spend time with your senior loved ones.

Technology can be a great tool if you have a busy work schedule. Skype and Whatsapp can be used to communicate with others, no matter where they are located.

To ease the transition, be there for your senior parent. Stay with your senior parent for a few days to ease the transition.

2. Give an empathetic ear

Many seniors feel abandoned, inadequate, afraid of the unknown, and lose their dignity and independence when they move to assisted living. It is normal for seniors to feel isolated and distraught during the first few months of senior living.

During this phase, keep in touch with your parents.

Listen to what they have to say, even if there is a lot of negativity. Do not trivialize the situation by saying things such as “It’s just an episode”, “It’s not as bad a you make it seem,” or “You are being negative.” Instead, listen to them and offer solutions to help them adapt to their new environment.

Encourage seniors to take part in social and other activities organized by the assisted-living facility. Many assisted living facilities are reputed for offering a variety of activities for seniors. They also welcome volunteers to assist with community work.

Many facilities allow residents to take on roles such as running the library or answering phones. Increasing their social activities will increase their wellbeing and help them see that this new life is not as difficult as they thought.

Sometimes, it is a good idea to bring a friend, a neighbor, or another family member with you to help lighten the mood and make your senior parent feel loved.

Keep the communication lines open. It doesn’t matter if your parent seems well taken care of, it is important to be there until they fully understand the situation. In some cases, this may take longer than you expected.

Listen! Let your parents express their feelings. It will help them to adjust to this new lifestyle and provide them with greater happiness in the future.

3. Be cautious not to be too protective

Senior independence is important because it fosters a sense purpose and achievement. This increases their self-worth, and improves their emotional well-being.

This is exactly what assisted living facilities encourage. These facilities offer personalized care while protecting your senior’s privacy and independence.

While you might be worried about your parent’s ability for adjustment, don’t be too protective.

While you can give them the necessary care and attention, it is best to not hold onto them. This will make your senior more dependent on you and prevent them from adapting to their new environment.

4. Personalize your new living space

You can help your elderly parent adjust to their new environment by placing familiar objects and keepsakes inside their assisted living apartment or suite.

If your parent is used to reading the Bible and other books at their bedside, you can do the same in their new space.

Encourage seniors to talk about their preferences in layout and let them make the final decisions regarding their apartment decor.

Ask them for their opinions on furniture arrangements and choosing pictures and keepsakes. Assist them in setting up the space, but ensure it is safe and functional.

The best way to make them feel at home is to recreate their home environment.

5. Get in touch with our staff

Reputable assisted living community in Myrtle Beach make it a priority to ensure that their seniors feel included. Many go above and beyond to meet their entertainment and health needs.

It’s important to talk to the staff about your senior’s needs, as they are still adapting to their new home. It will make sure that your parents are provided with all the necessities that make their lives comfortable.

Meet the staff when you visit the facility to learn more about your parent’s adjustment. You can then work together to make your senior feel more at home in the facility.

Your parent has been there for your every need, good and bad. It’s now your job to make the transition smooth for them as they move into assisted living.

The first few days in an assisted living community will be difficult. These tips will help you to make your senior parent feel at home in their new home.

WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE?

Palliative care is a specialized medical treatment for people with serious illnesses. This care focuses on relieving the patient’s symptoms and stress. Both the patient and their family will experience an improvement in quality of life.

Palliative care can be provided by specially trained nurses, doctors and other specialists. They work with patients’ other doctors to offer additional support. Palliative care does not depend on the patient’s prognosis. It is tailored to the individual patient’s needs. Palliative care is appropriate for any age or stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatment.

Increases quality of life

Palliative care teams are focused on quality of living. They provide care for people who are suffering from serious illnesses like cancer, congestive cardiac failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), kidney disease and Alzheimer’s.

Relief from Stress and Symptoms

Palliative care aims to alleviate suffering and offer the best quality of life possible for patients and their loved ones. The symptoms include anxiety, pain, depression, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, constipation and loss of appetite. You will be able to continue with your daily activities because of the support provided by the assisted living team. The team will assist you in gaining the strength to continue with your daily life.

Recent studies, including one published by the New England Journal of Medicine, show that patients with serious illnesses who receive palliative care live longer than those who don’t.

Facilities that offer palliative care have teams that also take the time to match your treatment options with your goals. They will ensure that your doctors are aware of what you want. This will give you more control over your health and improve the quality of your life.

Uses the same doctor as your other doctors

Palliative care teams include specialists who will work with you, your family, and other doctors. They can provide extra support for you when you are most in need. The palliative care team not only treats your symptoms, stress and supports you and your family but also communicates with your doctors to ensure everyone is on the same page. They are there to support you at every stage.

How to get palliative care

Palliative care is a great option for someone who is suffering from a serious illness. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of your illness.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASSISTED LIVING. WHAT IS THE BEST ARRANGEMENT FOR YOUR SENIOR?

Home sweet home is more than a phrase. Many of us see our homes as the safest and most welcoming places to be. We are surrounded by those we love. Many seniors find that aging in place and the familiar comforts of home are not something they want or are able to do safely. So what options do you have? There are many options for assisted living. Each situation is different. We’ll be looking at just a few.

What are some options?

There are many options for senior living. This is a good thing. These include:

Independent Living: Seniors can choose to live independently in assisted living communities or senior housing complexes. These environments offer seniors the opportunity to meet and socialize, as well as help with everyday tasks like cooking and housekeeping. These communities are often smaller and are easier to navigate.

Assisted living: These small facilities are sometimes called adult family homes or personal care. They offer personalized services to seniors and allow them to live independently. If residents prefer, they can choose to share a room with a spouse or another senior of the same sex. They also have the option to stay in their own room. Residents of an assisted living facility in Myrtle Beach will be able to count on assistance with daily living activities (ADL), such as meal prep and personal care.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities: These communities are designed to provide all the care needed during older age. Residents can start living independently and then move to the appropriate areas of the community according to their needs. These communities can be part independent living, part assisted-living, or part skilled nursing facility. They are ideal for those who want to live independently for the rest of life and for spouses who want to be close even though they have different care needs.

Skilled Nursing Facility – This option is for older loved ones who are unable to take care of themselves because they have a mental or physical illness. These facilities have licensed doctors and other medical professionals on-site. All ADLs are covered and residents can enjoy organized outings and events. Many of these facilities provide specialized services to patients with cognitive impairments.

Is it time to think about assisted living?

All of us want our loved ones to be able to remain in their homes as long as they can. Sometimes, however, our hearts may tell us otherwise. These are some questions to ask yourself if you’re not sure if it’s time to find an assisted living community.

• Are my family members becoming unsafe at home?
• Is my loved one in need of care beyond my physical capabilities?
• Are structured and social interactions provided by an outsider a benefit to my loved ones?

These decisions are not to be taken alone. We can help you to identify options and make it easier for you and your loved ones to choose the best option.

ASSISTED LIVING: KEEP YOUR SENIOR LOVED ONES HAPPY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

The popular holiday song aptly sums it up: It’s the most beautiful time of year. Kids jingle belling. Marshmallows toasting. Much mistletoe-ing. There is plenty of cheer. For some seniors, however, the most joyous season can also be stressful. The holiday season can be stressful because of the many traditions and memories of a loved one who has passed away. Caregivers have the responsibility to lift seniors’ spirits, help them recall the good times, and create new, joyful memories that can be relived over the years even if they’re living in an assisted living facility.

Senior living communities all across the country are celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah in the same spirit as families around the globe. Our residents are encouraged to participate in holiday activities between now and New Year. Spending time with loved ones, friends, and neighbors is the true reason for the season. It can help you overcome the stress and confusion caused by holidays.

These tips offer caregivers some suggestions on how to deal with the holidays with a senior loved one in an assisted living community.

Decor

To get residents into the holiday spirit, all  Senior Living communities have festive decorations. Encourage seniors to decorate their own living spaces. This is a great way to keep them smiling this holiday season. You can help seniors find family heirlooms and ornaments they treasure that they can display on their own glistening tree. Grandkids can help seniors make their homes more special and warm by helping to organize the project.

Baking/Holiday Foods

Our skilled chefs work hard to create the perfect menus for our seniors living in Independent Living, Assisted Living in Myrtle Beach, and Memory Care communities across the country. Even if seniors won’t be sharing a holiday meal, they will feel included when their caregivers help them with tasks like peeling and folding napkins, setting tables, or baking cookies. They can then share the work with their neighbors.

Stroll down Memory Lane

Seniors can talk about their loved ones and other memories to lift their spirits, and help them feel young again. Seniors use photo albums, family videos, and music to stimulate their memories and encourage them to pass on their experiences to the next generation.

Holiday cards

Your senior can help you write holiday cards. Keep in touch with your lifelong friends. If possible, you should be available to help your senior write holiday cards.

Medications

Maintain a schedule for your senior’s medication during the holidays. Many communities offer medication reminders and administration services to help residents at any time of the year.

Outings

Residents are given special holiday activities and additional shopping trips to encourage them. This creates a stimulating environment for their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. We recommend that seniors who take advantage of the sunshine, regardless of whether it is cold outside or inside, are less likely to develop the seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or winter depression.
