  • The Importance Of Assisted Living Centers For Both Caregivers And Their Senior Relatives

    Providing care for senior relatives comes with mixed experiences. On one hand, there are those related to passion. And on the other, there are those related to mental fatigue.

One of the main features of senior care is that it never ends, and thus requires full availability from caregivers, which can become unbearable even if the caregiver and the senior are closely related.

  • Stay Focused On Your Recovery From Knee Replacement Surgery For Faster Healing

    In your final few days in the hospital after knee surgery, your doctor will speak with you about how to continue your recovery at home. While you're eager to get back to the familiar surroundings of your own home, consider the challenges of recovering quickly there.

  • Living In Assisted Living: Give Your Loved One A Sense Of Belonging

    Assisted living is more than help getting dressed or medication reminders. Living in community with other adults promotes a higher quality of life and gives seniors a sense of belonging.

Choosing a Top Quality Nursing Home

When you're facing putting your loved one into a nursing home or assisted living facility, you want to make the best possible choice for your loved one. That can be difficult when you don't know much about the nursing homes in your area, or about what you should be looking for in a nursing home to begin with. It's a good idea to tour as many facilities in your area as possible to get an idea of which ones you like, but you still need to know what the signs of a good or bad nursing home are. I used to work as a kitchen assistant in long term care facilities, and I learned a lot about them during that time. I started this blog to share some of my insights into what makes a nursing home great, and how to spot problems in a facility that you're considering.
