http://www.tlcsr.com/blog Fear / abandonment
http://www.tlcsr.com/blog Fear/ abandonment when choosing care setting Just saw the movie The Impossible about the 2004 Thailand tsunami and the survivors. 230K dead in many countries and all I could think of was the feeling we all get when we are separated, or abandoned, whether due to natural disaster like this or from a more chronic event like aging that forces us to move to a new care setting. The feeling of the people in that event might give us some idea of the feeling each of us will get if we are lucky enough to live to a ripe old age and experience the need to move to a new home at a time when we are physically and cognitively losing the ability to do for ourselves. The people of Thailand and all disaster places feel that hopelessness, not having the stuff you need. Food, water, shelter but also medial care and supplies. They were looking for companionship, being around the ones they loved. The ones who are sick are aware of death but don't seem to fear it, they work with that, what they fear is abandonment, not saying goodbye and not having anyone to "help", even get a glass of water or to make sure their family is ok for them. That is just like aging and not having continuity of care. Care in ER, hospital then down stream in many disjointed places is a level below the devastation in the movie but should help us to start to see why the choice of a care setting, care team and continuity of care is such a powerful treatment for aging. We all try to take pills to treat disease Dementia, Alzheimer's, and claim they are the Memory Care. In fact, choosing the best care team and continuity of care might be another way to go. People over pills. I know many talk about how bad the problems of the age wave are or will be and that it is getting worse. That is old news and obvious. You don't have to tell a person who forced to move out of the independent living apartment part of an Assisted Living Facility and into the Nursing Home that it is not good, they know that. Older people know the arthritis hurts, quantifying it, "studying" it may help somehow but one thing we can do right now, for sure, that is well studied to be effective is value people, continuity of care. The time is upon us to change the system, value people, value continuity of care, value the care team. Just my thoughts. Hold my hand, a friends, help right here at home, help your family and those around you. When you find continuity of care share that finding with the world. I go back to one of my favorite quotes, if you treat the disease you win or lose but if you treat the person you win NO MATTER WHAT THE OUTCOME. Sick people know about death help them to live up until that time. Blog with us. http://www.tlcsr.com/blog/ ...read more

Fight Agism and Disability-Best Assisted Senior Care, Dementia Care
Check out this care setting with really personal care. Often times the care is the treatment. To get real caring you need a relationship, even a professional relationship with the person providing the service and the Senior receiving it. Without continuity of care there is alot less Caring. Even if the physical task of getting a shower is done many seniors might not feel like part of the family in most big, Assisted Living or Nursing Home institutions.Check out this small, high quality, personal, Residential Care Home. http://www.tlcsr.com See the Welcome video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v;=27dsY81GNLc ...read more

Defeat Agism! Fight Dementia, Altzheimers, and Aging
I just saw a picture of Mohomad Ali and thought we all should join the fight agains Dementia, Alzheimers, and poor care for seniors. While they look for a cure for over all aging in the end human kindness, better direct care with caring and compassion and less assembly line care, will always be the main stay of real health care. What we have gained in the super specialized, growth of assembly line care and medicine is much less than we have lost in providing care for the disabled in general and for people with Dementia, or Alzheimers Disesase specifically. Join the fight, share your experiences, in our blog. http://www.tlcsr.com/blog ...read more
