Hello Senior, Families and Friends. I usually don’t send out as many articles complimenting our caregivers. This has been a good week of people appreciating the help we provide. I know the picture doesn’t match this article. But again, someone is complimenting the care forwarded by our caregiver. It makes me so happy to know that the hard work done by the office staff makes it’s way to the field that I have to share. Below, please see another note by a client raving about their caregiver. When you focus on hiring the right people, the correct results are the result. Please see below what our client has to say about their caregiver. Again, if you would like the help of someone who will have you writing notes like this, please contact us at #GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for more information. To our caregivers, please keep doing what you do the way that you’re doing it. Your care enriches our clients lives. Please see below.

I am writing to you today to rave about JB! JB is such a blessing to our family. She is friendly, warm, and very up-beat. Joan arrives each session with a notebook filled with plans for the day’s activities to help keep my mother-in-law’s mind active and engaged. It’s really above and beyond what we anticipated and very much appreciate her efforts. JB is just great!! If Golden Heart has an employee of the month opportunity, I definitely would like to nominate Joan for the award:)

Hello Seniors, Friends and Families. This is not the photo that goes with this message. This is a photo of Rodney having dinner with some friends at Acoya Senior Living. Yes, it was a great time.

Please see below. This is what a family had to say about a caregiver from Golden Heart Senior Care. Many seniors don’t like the thought of having someone in their home to help them. Once they understand our focus and intention is to help them remain at home independently, they generally soften and accept the help. To receive care for yourself or a family member that will have you making comments like the one below, please contact us @GoldenHeartScottsdale.com for more information.

Hi Linda (Our Social Worker), Just wanted to let you know it went well today. My Mom really liked Cynthia. This evening, I was wondering if it had been a little too long for her today (a little too much excitement having another person moving around the house). But just now my Mom asked if our helper girl was coming tomorrow. 😃 hopefully she doesn’t change her mind.  The Client.

Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, with approximately half of the costs attributed to informal caregivers, so preparing financially is essential. Maureen Bradley, one of A Place for Mom’s most seasoned senior care experts, recommends “The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, and Memory Loss” by Nancy L. Mace, MA, and Dr. Peter V. Rabins, MPH.“‘The 36-Hour Day’ is an oldie but a goodie and is considered a must-read for families of folks living with dementia,” says Bradley, who’s currently pursuing her doctoral thesis on non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive decline in older adults. Here at Golden Heart Senior Care, we pride ourselves on having caregivers who are trained on how to work with clients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. To have a caregiver trained in the many ways to help a client with dementia, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com. We are here to help!!!

 

Hello Seniors, Friends and Families. As you may know, we love to catch our caregivers doing the right things. Here at Golden Heart Senior Care, we reward staff for doing an excellent job.

The thing is that every client he works with has great things to say about him and his care. That tells us that he does an excellent job of keeping his clients safe and happy in their homes. If you would like a caregiver that does so well you will compliment them, please contact us at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com to find out how.

Please stay hydrated and have a great summer.

Hello Seniors, Families and Friends. We hope you are all staying in the cool and hydrated. According to a Village Medical article released on 7.10.24, below you can find information on symptoms, cures and ways to avoid this issue. Please see a copy and paste from the article.

Heat cramps, exhaustion, or stroke can occur when the body becomes overheated from high temperatures. Warning signs of heat-related illness include:

• Sweating
• Painful muscle spasms
• Weakness, dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Low blood pressure

Later signs of heat stroke can be serious and may include chills, confusion, slurred speech, seizures and a body temperature above 104℉. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 or visit the nearest ER.

The best way to prevent heat-related illness is to stay inside in the air conditioning. If you are out playing or working in the sun, make sure to drink plenty of water. You can also cool off by spraying water or placing ice packs on the skin.

For more information, please contact Golden Heart Senior Care at 480.622.3557 or visit us on the web at GoldenHeartScottsdale.com.

Have a safe and happy summer!!!
