Senior Care Centers In California Provide Help To Aging Citizens

California based Senior Care Center1, a company that connects senior citizens to assisted living facilities across the US, has recently issued a public advisory on how families can help their elderly loved ones lead a long and healthy life during their golden years.

According to the US Census Bureau, all baby boomers will be older than 65 by 2030, making 1 in every 5 Americans a senior citizen at that time. “The aging of baby boomers means that within just a couple decades, older Americans are projected to outnumber the children’s population for the very first time in US history and, by 2035, there will be an estimated 78.0 million people 65 years and older,” said Jonathan Vespa, a demographer from the US Census Bureau.

Meanwhile, as noted on Senior Care Center1’s website at https://srcarecenter.com/communities/residential-care-home/, it is important for families to help their aging loved ones maintain a fun and healthy lifestyle so that they continue to enjoy an active and fulfilled life. “This can be done by helping them focus on positive habits, including regular exercise, proper nutrition, and staying socially active,” said Casey Ryeback from Senior Care Center1.

Ryeback explained that families should encourage their loved ones to quit smoking, keep active, eat well, and maintain a healthy weight to prevent a number of life threatening diseases and health conditions. As these conditions may include cancer, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, obesity, and more, the need for minimizing their risk is evident. “As people age, we also become vulnerable to falls as our body develops poor coordination and balance. To avoid slip and fall injuries, walkways must be free of loose carpets, rugs, electrical wires, and all other types of obstructions,” he said.

Ryeback also stated that regular and up-to-date health screenings and immunizations are crucial to prevent serious medical conditions such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. Furthermore, according to an article published on Women Daily Magazine, it is necessary to monitor the emotional and mental well-being of an aging loved one, since the elderly are more sensitive about the things they see and hear from the people around them.

“It’s difficult to see the deterioration of physical or mental abilities of an aging loved one, especially when we ourselves were the recipients of their care. Many of us would prefer them to stay in our homes, but this situation can become emotionally and financially overwhelming for the family as a whole. This is the reason why finding the best residential care home for an elderly loved one is essential to ensure that they are well and properly taken care of,” Ryeback said.

He went on to explain that residential care homes are designed to provide a more comfortable and intimate space for the elderly, since these communal homes are only meant for six or fewer occupants. Similar to assisted living facilities, care homes specialize in providing professional and personalized care to the elderly, and their staff are made up of qualified care assistants who are tasked with monitoring the residents 24 hours a day. He also mentioned that these facilities have trained and skilled nurses operating on an as-needed basis, which makes them best suited for seniors who are in good health but need assistance when it comes to their daily activities.

Those looking for a trusted senior care home may connect with Senior Care Center1 by calling their hotline or visiting their official website. Aside from a comprehensive list of assisted living facilities and residential care homes across the US, the company also pride themselves in having more than 400 advisors to provide families with a more personalized service, including free one-on-one consultation, transparent pricing details, and facility viewing as well as personal move-in support.

One of their satisfied clients said, “My dad had a bad fall this year and I was very worried about his health condition. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s so we worry that the progression of his symptoms would make it difficult for him to remain active. I work erratic hours at my job and my kids are away at college, so there would be no one in my family that can keep an eye on my dad. Luckily, one of my colleagues at work mentioned Senior Care Center. I called in and was surprised by how many other options I had. After talking to one of their advisors, he recommended that I tour some sites before making a choice for my dad. I have visited an assisted living home which had fewer residents and was close to our neighborhood. It seemed like the right fit for my dad, and when we moved him in, I could tell he was happier and less frustrated than before.“
