A new look for Elder Care Safe Place
Since we have just been online for a few months, we are constantly fine tuning the site. After this few months we have decided to almost totally revamp and simplify the site. The changes to the site itself are currently in design and should appear soon. The changes to this blog are ready now. We are reducing the number of categories from ten to five. We are not cutting the content, just the way it is organized. The five categories are:
THE DYNAMICS OF AGING
This will cover the changes within the family as the parents age, as well as the changes in society that make care more necessary and more difficult.
NOTES ON AGING
Since I am seventy-six myself, there are many things we need to face, think about and adjust to as we prepare for being cared for. Since many people my age are not on the internet, families will need to read these blogs and show them to their aging parents.
GIVING CARE IN THE HOME
80% of the 10 million people currently needing care are given that care either in their homes or in the homes of one of their children.
CARE IN A FACILITY
Making the nursing home decision and the transition in care is one of the most traumatic events most families will ever face.
END OF LIFE DECISIONS
Walking with a loved one through terminal illness. Making the tough decision about extending the care, funeral planning and arrangements.
Hope you stay tuned...
