Caregivers are Heroes!

Hello Senior Community. As I was walking into a rehab center, I noticed this sign. This sign got me to thinking. The work of a healthcare professional really is special and important. All caregivers need a little or a ton of this sign in their system. Caregivers really are heroes. Thank you for what you do caregivers. We need you to keep a certain segment of the population safe and independent. We couldn’t do it without you.

STROKES

Hello Senior Community. Today, I read an article by Beaumont Stroke Center that talked about STROKES, symptoms and reacting that is important to share. There is an easy way to assess if a stroke has occurred. The test is called FAST. This is not a full sage test. This is a test that The Heart Association promotes as a way of detecting stroke symptoms. This is the assessment that goes with the acronym FAST. F- is for facial drooping. Look at the subject to see if there is drooping of the face. Ask the person to smile. A is for arm weakness. Ask the subject to raise their arms above their head. Does one are have more numbness or weakness than the other. S is for stability. Ask the person able to stand. Are their motor skills as they were prior to your concern. Then T stands for talking. Does the subject appear to be slurring words or have difficulty say a sentence like the sky is blue.

Identifying and reacting to any of these symptoms quickly can be crucial to achieving proper treatment for a subject experiencing a stroke. Please remember it is important to react FAST by calling 911.

The acronym FAST can be an important factor to assisting a stroke victim. Knowing the symptoms and reacting quickly is very important to addressing long term symptoms.

Aging Gracefully At Home

Hello Senior Community. I just read some facts from a LM Hurley and Associates that I would like to share. Assisted living just hit its highest quarter ever with a 1.1 percentage point gain in the 4th Qtr of 2022. This indicates that 80% of all available nursing home beds are taken. Memory Care saw it’s highest pace move in in the 3rd quarter of 2022. Having said all of this, it is still the view of Golden Heart Senior Care that people thrive in their own environment. It is our goal and focus to help seniors age gracefully and safely at home.

Happy Holidays from Golden Heart Senior Care

Hello Senior Community. While attending a charity event, these carolers where outside singing Christmas Carols. Even though, you can’t hear them, I thought it would be nice to share the picture. Their costumes were beautiful. Their voices were angelic. And, their songs were full of Christmas Cheer. Happy Holidays to you and yours from Golden Heart Senior Care.
