Book excerpt: If you've ever dreamed of casting off your worldly possessions and traveling to your heart's content, this story about two intrepid seniors will inspire you no matter your age. Michael and Debbie Campbell felt they had one more adventure in them before considering retirement in the traditional sense, so they filled two rolling duffel bags with life's essentials (including their own pillows) and hit the road. Three years later, having sold their home in Seattle, their "Senior Nomad" lifestyle has no end in sight. Ride along as they share tales of living full-time in Airbnbs in over 50 countries and pay tribute to the many hosts who not only helped them live daily life, but also offered unique opportunities to experience their cities. From the barber's chair in Dublin and the dentist's chair in Split, to a wild motorcycle ride in Athens, a peek behind the Soviet Curtain in Transnistria, and the demise of a chicken for dinner in Marrakech, hosts made the Campbell's dream of adventure come true. Discover how Debbie and Michael find their next Airbnb, how they get there, and the many ways they enjoy their new city just as the locals do. Learn their tips and tricks for using Airbnb and how they get the most out of each stay, all while spending little more than they would have spent settled into their rocking chairs in Seattle.

Download or read book Aging Easy written by Mondresia Carver and published by Pa-Pro-VI Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People often ask, "Why Seniors?" My response is always the same, "Why NOT Seniors?" I have always had an unwavering desire to serve and protect the elderly. Even as a child, when given the opportunity to choose, my choice was always to be in the company of the "older folk". I have found their wisdom and conversation to be priceless. For Seniors, living independently during their golden years can be an enjoyable and rewarding time of life. Most desire to maintain their dignity, quality of life, and independence while living at home. Sounds simple enough. However, what I have found to be true, both professionally and personally, is that things aren't always so simple. As a very young adult, I can recall experiencing the loss of my maternal great-grandmother. Having not been afforded the knowledge that I currently possess, watching her cognitive decline over a 5-year span was painful. On the day of her funeral, I can still recall feeling as though I'd lost my grandmother several years prior. A better understanding of her diagnosis would have added more quality to the time we shared. Experiencing the loss of my paternal grandmother was another taxing experience. Though her diagnosis did not rob her of her cognitive ability, Cancer certainly took everything else. During this experience, my knowledge base for the situation was greater. Therefore, medical attention, placement, and long-term planning were much easier. Most recently, the loss of my maternal grandfather was a challenge that tugged on every ounce of knowledge, experience, and emotion possible. Within a 7-month period, I watched my grandfather drift from what most called, "The World's Oldest Teenager" to being completely bedridden and dependent on others for care. Heart attack, stroke, cancer, kidney failure, dialysis, feeding tube, tracheostomy, cardiac arrest, and resuscitation were only among the most significant challenges that he endured. Fortunately, my family and I were able to make "informed" decisions to assure that he maintained quality of life. Working in Senior care for over 20 years, I have been exposed to all aspects. I have consoled weeping widows. I have found placement for seniors who have no family. I have advocated for seniors who were mistreated by family and/or professionals. I have found assistance for seniors that wanted to remain at home but needed a little help. I have helped family to understand that Hospice is actually very beneficial and not death sentence. I have hired good caregivers. I have terminated poor caregivers. I have also provided Psychotherapy for seniors who suffer from depression and anxiety. In short, Seniors and their families experience the same issues as those in other populations. For me, it is a God-given charge that I do all that is within my power to assure that this population is provided with the supports needed to be safe, healthy, and happy.

Download or read book Assisting Seniors at Home written by Gretchen Mary Rose and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most families in need of assistance for senior caregiving have two questions: "Can you, please, help us? How do we go about this? We don't even know where to start." This is the overshadowing climate that exists until a navigational chart is presented. Assisting Seniors at Home: A Planning Guide for Families and Caregivers is designed to harmonize the unique perspectives and roles of the three entities involved: the seniors, the family, and hired caregivers. Each role is described with specific intervention priorities for our aging family members. Within this guide, there are two skill level indicators, one for the general aging population and another for those with dementia. Each provide a clear description of specific needs as changes occur. This is the compass by which all family members may intercede proactively to bring seniors from early intervention to the final stages of hospice care. The skill level indicator is the most valuable element as it designates the amount of care needed, how to establish a care plan, and when to make necessary changes. In summary, this adds up to effective in-home care, inclusive of home modifications and safety as a top priority for all involved.
