Study Reveals Unmet Needs of Seniors Relying on In-Home Care

When an older person requires help with daily living, options range from residential facilities to in-home care. Typically, less expensive than care facilities, professional in-home care can benefit older adults by allowing them to remain in a home setting. Although some view staying in ones home as favorable to nursing home care, recently released findings have shed light on the serious issues facing those who rely on in-home care. A staggering 50 percent of all older adults using professional home care aren't getting the help they need, according to an analysis of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Half of all adults who rely on home care don't have adequate help with showering, dressing, laundry, or cooking. Compared to those residing in facilities, older adults in in-home care are more likely to miss meals and medication and remain in soiled clothing for extended periods. Older adults with in-home care were also nearly five times more likely than adults in living facilities to have persistent unmet needs. Fulfilling these needs may require care for longer durations or more complete care that addresses the full range of an adults needs, from laundry to food preparation. The Effect of Stepfamily Relationships While challenges can affect all older adults aging in place at home, the negative consequences can be more pronounced for those with stepfamilies. Societal changes have made stepfamilies more common, and one in eight older adults with mobility limitations now has a stepchild. Yet in comparison to older adults with only biological offspring, those with stepchildren are half as likely to receive help from their children, research shows.Stepfamilies might see childrens attention divided between a greater number of parents. Adult stepchildren who never received care from their stepparents because, for instance, the marriage occurred later in life, might not feel obligated to help. Children might also feel closer bonds and a sense of responsibility to their biological parents. Although biological children are more likely to help, even adults who lived with partners and had biological children still had unfulfilled needs when they remained at home.  Challenges Facing People With Dementia Who Receive Home Care Like those with stepchildren, low-income individuals with dementia are also more susceptible to the inadequate in-home care. Many older adults with dementia are dual enrollees in Medicaid and Medicare and, consequently, have fewer assets to cover in-home services. They also have less family support. Individuals with dementia are twice as likely to have unmet needs compared to older adults without dementia who utilized in-home care. Many older adults with dementia couldn't afford sufficient in-home care and had less family support to fill in the gaps in care.Older adults evaluating the benefits and drawbacks of different care options should speak with us to help them assess their unique needs and plan for their care.

Get to Know the Outreach Team at Pennsylvania Relay

Pennsylvania (PA) Relay is a free public service that provides telecommunication solutions to citizens who are deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind, or who have difficulty speaking. With support from PA Relay, these individuals can place and receive calls through assistive services and technology. PA Relay has a team of outreach coordinators who visit various communities throughout the state to bring more awareness to this valuable service. Outreach coordinators connect with potential PA Relay users, their loved ones, and community members and inform them about the available solutions that could help them, or someone they know, communicate more efficiently and effectively.  PA Relays outreach coordinators Jenny Pearson and Thadeus Graham took some time to answer important questions about the free public service and their roles on the outreach team to help people understand how they can benefit from PA Relay services and the educational opportunities available through the outreach program. Keep reading to get to know your outreach coordinators!What are the responsibilities of your role as an outreach coordinator?Jenny: As an outreach coordinator, my main focus is educating Pennsylvania residents and businesses about the services provided by PA Relay and how those services work. Its my pleasure to travel throughout the state educating people about PA Relays services and how businesses and organizations can benefit from using PA Relay to connect with potential clients who use accessible telecommunications to conduct business. To do this, the outreach team exhibits at community events, gives educational presentations to local organizations, and provides training to businesses and organizations.   Thadeus: I educate people about PA Relay as well as assist people in gaining access to the free public service. As an outreach coordinator my role is to both assist our relay users as well as introduce people who could benefit from the service to PA Relay. I answer questions, help with equipment installations, provide a point of contact for our users, host presentations, or attend expos and health fairs to make sure everyone is aware of the services that are available to them.  How can PA Relays services help people stay connected, and how do you help people learn more about these specific services?Jenny: In presenting this information at public and private events, the outreach team can inform people on how these services work and why they are important for accessibility and facilitation of communication for people of all abilities.   Thadeus: PA Relays services help people stay connected by returning independence and autonomy to our users. It empowers people who are deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, or who have speech differences to connect to standard telephone users directly through their adaptive equipment. I help people learn about these services through a variety of methods.  What kind of events do you attend as an outreach coordinator?Jenny: Some types of events the outreach team attends could be health fairs, senior expos, state and local fairs, church groups, chamber of commerce events, conferences, and virtual presentations.   Thadeus: I will attend any event that will have me and that will have a meaningful impact for my fellow Pennsylvania residents. I attend health fairs, senior expos, and host presentations at local organizations. I also work with community leaders to schedule town hall events or even host awareness nights at local sporting events. Ive met with PA Relay users in their homes to help them with their adaptive equipment on a more personal level.  What has been one of your favorite events that youve attended as an outreach coordinator? What made it so memorable?Jenny: I have been an outreach coordinator for six years and have experienced so many amazing events and interactions. Some of my favorite events involve educating seniors and their caregivers about PA Relay and how we can help maintain connections between those who use traditional telephone services and those who use relay services. Hearing loss is a common experience among those who are aging, and to be able to provide these folks with a solution like Voice Carry-Over or Captioned Telephone is incredibly rewarding, especially when they share their experiences with me. Thadeus: My first ever presentation will always be etched into my mind. It was a cold December morning just north of Philadelphia. I had just presented to a group of seniors about PA Relay. After the presentation I helped a few of them download and set up the Hamilton Mobile CapTel App on their phones. The joy they had calling each other and using their new adaptive technology made me realize how much of a difference this can truly make for people. I was hooked on wanting to help as many people as possible after that day.Do you offer educational presentations about PA Relay to local organizations?Jenny: Yes, we do! We provide presentations throughout the state, both in person and virtually. Some of the types of organizations we educate are service providers, health professionals, retirement communities, Deaf and Hard of Hearing support groups and organizations, local businesses and agencies, sporting groups, and church gatherings. All of our presentations are always no cost and can be scheduled at the organizations convenience.   Topics discussed during our presentations are general information about PA Relay, types of services provided and how they work, and how to use the service. The topics can certainly be customized based on the organization. For example, a group may be interested in services for those who are living with hearing loss, so we can tailor our presentation to address those specific services.Thadeus: PA Relay offers a variety of training as well as educational preparations to any interested organization across the Commonwealth. We can also provide training to organizations on how to properly handle relay calls. The Relay Friendly Business Training helps organizations identify relay calls and trains staff on how to properly handle these types of calls.During these presentations we discuss everything from the history of relay services to the different types of services. We discuss PA Captioned Telephone Relay Service and how to acquire adaptive equipment either through the states equipment distribution program, TechOWL, or other means. The topics and timeframe can be customized to meet the needs of the organization.  Is there anything else about your role as an outreach coordinator that youd like people to know?Jenny: As an outreach coordinator, the most important thing I do is connect people to resources they can use to make life a bit easier. Often, I present information to people who do not need PA Relays services, but they know someone who does. When this happens, its so rewarding to hear how they will share what theyve learned from me with those who really need assistance making and receiving calls. This ensures that connections remain strong, and people are able to live life as independently as possible.   Thadeus: The biggest thing I would like people to know is just how life-changing these services are. Even if youre not someone who could use PA Relay, its likely that someone you know could greatly benefit from the service.  How can an interested individual or organization reach you?Jenny: To learn more about PA Relay, feel free to email me at Jenny.Pearson@HamiltonRelay.com or call 610-737-7205! Thadeus: The best way to get in touch would be by emailing Thadeus.Graham@HamiltonRelay.com, or I am available by phone at 412-944-7424.  FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. Advanced speech recognition software is used to process calls, and, in certain circumstances, a live communications assistant may be included on the call. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. To learn more, visit fcc.gov.

Medical Marijuana for Seniors: The Complete Guide

The concept of medical marijuana may be daunting to new patients, especially seniors. Older adults may benefit from medical marijuana treatment for an array of symptoms due to their qualifying condition(s). At Solevo Wellness, you can count on personalized services and medical marijuana relief solutions from exceptional pharmacists and medical professionals.Medical marijuana can be a highly successful treatment for pain for many people, and consequently severe chronic or intractable pain is the most common qualifying condition for patients in the PA medical marijuana program. said Solevo Wellness Pharmacy Director Dr. Richard Greer.Persistent and disabling pain can have multiple causes. Among them are cancer; multiple sclerosis; injuries to the back, neck and spine; and arthritis.Inhaled cannabis provides almost immediate pain relief, with significantly fewer adverse effects compared to other pain medications. Inhalation allows the active compounds in cannabis to be absorbed into the blood stream with greater speed and efficiency. Inhalation is often the preferable route of administration for the medication.Did you know that there are more ways to consume medical marijuana than just inhaling? Patients can dose medical marijuana tinctures under their tongue or swallow capsules.When dosed under the tongue, medical marijuana normally takes effect within 30 minutes. When swallowed, onset can be delayed up to two hours. Although they take longer to take effect (in comparison to inhaling), the benefit to these forms of medical marijuana is longer lasting relief. Dr. Greer said.There are also topicals that include creams, lotions or transdermal patches. Topicals are applied to the skin and are best for treating localized pain and discomfort.If youre looking for a treatment that has minimal THC, youll want to learn more about CBD. Medicine containing a high CBD to THC ratio is great for daytime treatments that bring relief to pain and inflammation without psychoactivity.If you have been diagnosed with one of the qualifying conditions in PA and would like to learn more about medical marijuana, get in touch with us today. If you have additional questions for Solevo Wellness, please check out https://www.solevowellness.com/faq/ or follow us on Facebook and direct message our team anytime.
