“Seeking help [for our mental health] is perceiv

“Seeking help [for our mental health] is perceived as showing signs of weakness or there is a fear of loss of independence, but that sort of belief works against a person. If they don’t get the support they need, it will ultimately cause them to be less able to care for themselves. Asking for help, and getting it, actually supports independence.” Learn more about how counseling or coaching might help you move forward at the link in our bio.⁠

More than half of Americans 65 and older regularly

More than half of Americans 65 and older regularly use the internet or email to shop, stay in touch with loved ones, or research a favorite subject, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Unfortunately, that also opens older adults up to scammers and cybercriminals. ⁠
⁠
According to the Kentucky Office of Senior Protection, online scams against older adults have skyrocketed since COVID-19. Cybersecurity expert Jeff Chandler, CEO of Z-JAK Technologies, offers tips to stay safe while checking your emails and searching the web. {link in bio}⁠

You may have this unacknowledged yearning for your loved one to ‘snap out of it!‘ and restore themselves.” Learn Karen’s advice for acknowledging these needs and moving forward in your caregiving journey. {link in bio}⁠

Our ability to see, touch, taste, smell, and hear

Our ability to see, touch, taste, smell, and hear what’s around us is something we usually take for granted. But like so many of our body’s systems, our sensory system can decline with age, leading to challenges that leave us struggling to engage. And if you’re caring for someone experiencing sensory decline — or its counterpart, sensory overload — then knowing how to support your loved one’s sensory needs can help make things easier, for you and the person you’re caring for.

Suzanne Hoffacker is like many caregivers: balancing a full-time job, a marriage, and raising children while also caring for an older parent. Her family was sharing a home with her 80-year-old father, but when he needed a knee replacement, Suzanne says, “It became evident the closer we got to surgery that I couldn’t care for him and be a mom.” That’s when Suzanne decided to seek respite care for her dad and herself.

Many people believe humans need less sleep as we age, but the reality is more nuanced. While it’s true that sleep patterns change with age — resulting in lighter sleep and more frequent awakenings — older adults still need roughly the same amount of sleep as younger adults. The National Institute on Aging recommends that people aged 65 and older aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night. According to science, there are some things that really work to help get those coveted hours of sleep. {link in bio}⁠
