ELDERLY
CARE
ELDERCARE
Elderly care or simply eldercare is the
fulfillment of the special needs and
requirements that are unique to senior
citizens. This broad term encompasses
such services as:
assisted living,
adult day care,
long term care,
nursing homes,
hospice care,
In-Home care.
The form of elder care provided varies greatly
among countries and is changing rapidly. Even
within the same country, regional differences
exist with respect to the care for the elderly.
Traditionally elder care has been the responsibility
of family members and was provided within the extended
family home. Increasingly in modern societies, elder
care is now being provided by state or charitable
institutions. The reasons for this change include
decreasing family size, the greater life expectancy of
elderly people, the geographical dispersion of families,
and the tendency for women to be educated and work
outside the home.
In most western countries, elder care facilities are
residential family care homes, freestanding assisted
living facilities, nursing homes, and Continuing care
retirement communities (CCRCs).
A Family Care Home is a residential home with support
and supervisory personnel by an agency, organization,
or individual that provides room and board, personal
care and habilitation services in a family environment
for at least two and no more than six persons.

CARE
Longevity is an invaluable gift of nature
if utilized to the maximum and can yield
fruitful results, if we pay heed to it
'now'. How long you live, how youthful you
look, and how great you feel depends on you.
Growing old gracefully is the masterwork of
wisdom, and one of the most difficult
chapters in the 'great art of living'.
(Getting old does not necessarily indicate
bad news.
You can grow old with your self-esteem,
confidence and a sense of adventure, if
you discover the secrets of wise and
healthy living. Today's centenarians are
simply living a healthy and an active,
natural life span for the human body is
created to live a long, healthy life if
nurtured with care but also keeping in
mind inevitable factors like disease and
death. The fear of getting old and infirm
is what keeps us from being hale and hearty.
Life should be determined much by its
content rather than its length. Therefore,
life should be led purposefully and
passionately till the last breath.
Aging is part of your natural growth process.
Aging is the accumulation of experiences and
changes in our entire life. It begins at
conception and concludes at death. It is
another stage in our development. We are all
in the process of aging and must learn ways
of dealing with changes that occur all through
our lives. Aging and illness are not synonymous,
and the idea that senility is a natural sign of
aging is wrong. By understanding the normal
aging process, you can determine better what
changes are normal and what may be indication
of illness. And, by recognizing the normal
changes in the body, you will be able to take
steps to minimize or delay them and achieve
better health. Thus, you are taking control of
your life and becoming responsible for your
well-being.
Over 85% of the debilitating diseases of old
age result from only a handful of diseases:
—cancer,
coronary artery disease,
stroke,
diabetes,
kidney failure,
obstructive lung disease,
pneumonia,
influenza.
Heart disease, by itself, accounts for fully
one out of every two deaths of older Americans,
and high blood pressure directly causes or
contributes to 15% of all deaths. We now can
control even these pathologies by our lifestyle.
By the simple act of knowing what to eat,
exercise, and live your life, you can lower your
risk for these diseases of aging and incorporate
this knowledge into your lifestyle, thus avoiding
the causes of premature aging, debility and death.
