Most people don’t consider the day when they have to take care of a parent or a loved one. It’s just not something we think about or plan for. Thoughts of our future typically center on business accomplishments, raising a family, maybe travel.
Everyone needs help sometimes. As our loved ones advance in age, there may come a time where they will need medical assistance or help around the house on a regular basis.
Each stage in life brings its own set of challenges. With becoming an adult comes the search for who you are personally and professionally. Becoming a parent brings on the responsibility for shaping another’s life.
Let’s face it. Father time catches up to all of us eventually. We can’t deny it. We can fight it tooth and nail, but, ultimately, we all are going to get old – just as our parents did and as our grandparents did before them.
There’s no place like home. The scents, the colors, the memories, home is where we feel most comfortable and, often times, it’s where we are the happiest. This is true at any age but for seniors, it’s especially true.
Age is just a number, and that’s something important that we have learned at Astracare. Feeling “young” is all relative – what’s really important is feeling like the best you.
To many people, driving equals independence. From the big wheels we pedal as children to the moment we pass that driving test as a teenager to our first road trip, driving is an integral part of the fun and utility of our lives. Eventually, we become elderly drivers.
We’ve all been there. You wake up in the middle of the night in full panic – maybe worrying about your job, family, or anything else on that to-do list you have. Perhaps it’s a little different for you, you find yourself overeating when you’re extremely stressed, or not being able to get to sleep because of racing thoughts.
You’ve reached retirement. It’s the best time of your life, and that’s actually a fact. Did you know that statistically people are happier during retirement compared to any other part of their lives? Anyways, you are trying to decide what your next adventure will be, and the idea of moving comes up.
At Astracare, safety for the elderly is one of our TOP concerns. Abilities change as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to be bed-ridden all day. You can be active and smart at the same time! Plus, life hacks are for everyone. Due to this, we have put together a list of hacks for you!
