Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are 77 million Baby Boomers living in the U.S., meaning, 10,000 people will be turning 65 years old every day. Currently, most Boomers aren’t in assisted living … yet. However, they will be moving into senior housing in droves over the next couple of decades. Add to this the increasing numbers of Boomer’s parents already making this transition. With limited resources available at this time, planning for assisted living can be overwhelming for those who are making difficult choices for their loved ones (or themselves). These choices have only been complicated and made more urgent by the Covid 19 pandemic. Contrary to popular belief, retirement homes are not the only option for our population’s aging members anymore. Adult Family Homes designed to allow senior citizens to live mostly independently with access to a variety of amenities, provide an alternative for individuals or couples who can no longer safely live on their own but don’t want to relegate themselves to assisted living facilities. Investment in this innovative category of senior living is a relatively new opportunity that many are not aware of. This book will give you the tools to decide if this could be a right fit for you and your family. You will learn: What is happening in the senior care industry today, and what the options are How smaller senior care homes are becoming ever-popular in the wave of COVID19 How to invest in a senior care home How to convert your home or property into a senior care home How to protect the wealth of your family and honor Mom and Dad Designed as a practical guide through the complex world of senior living, here is the advice and guidance to help you make decisions that honor the elderly, protect family resources, and provide an investment opportunity in today’s fast growing segment of the real estate market.

This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traveling in Mexico and trying to eat healthy? Traveling in Latin America and tired or wary of unfamilar food? In Mexico, you cannot maintain a healthy diet without cooking. Cooking healthy, tasty food can be a challenge anywhere, but for expats and travelers the challenges compound exponentially. Language barriers, differences in ingredient availability, differences in the taste of staple ingredients and unfamiliar packaging have to be tackled before one even begins. A vacation rental and typical Mexican kitchens usually lack the gadgetry of a typical American kitchen. Mexico-sourced recipes are often created for a different palate. These challenges can overwhelm all but the most committed cook, leading to poor eating choices or a lack of healthy variety in meals. If you’re a traveler who wishes to maintain a healthy diet without learning how to cook all over again, The Lazy Expat: Healthy Recipes That Translate in Mexico is the book you’ve been waiting for: Over 150 delicious healthy American-style and Mexico-inspired recipes that can be made from ingredients found in any larger Mexican (or American) grocery store.

Information is provided on meal planning, how and where to shop in Mexico, buying meat and cheese in Mexico, pantry item lists, kitchen checklists (also in Spanish) and much more.

Pearce offers a wealth of sound advice and practical solutions. He discusses resident relations, operating methods, staffing ratios, department management, cost containment, sales and marketing strategies, techniques of financial analysis, budgeting, and human resources. New chapters address issues particular to dementia care and architecture, and the appendix contains a department-by-department audit of senior living operations. From the front lines to the boardroom, this book should be a part of every decision-making process for improving and maintaining assisted living, congregate, and continuing care retirement communities.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Book excerpt: Now in paperback, the cultural and medical history of dementia and Alzheimer's disease by a leading psychiatrist and bioethicist who urges us to turn our focus from cure to care. Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, Tia Powell wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia--not to mention confronting the hard truth that her own odds aren't great. In the U.S., 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day; by the time a person reaches 85, their chances of having dementia approach 50 percent. And the truth is, there is no cure, and none coming soon, despite the perpetual promises by pharmaceutical companies that they are just one more expensive study away from a pill. Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care--what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Reimagining Dementia is a moving combination of medicine and memoir, peeling back the untold history of dementia, from the story of Solomon Fuller, a black doctor whose research at the turn of the twentieth century anticipated important aspects of what we know about dementia today, to what has been gained and lost with the recent bonanza of funding for Alzheimer's at the expense of other forms of the disease. In demystifying dementia, Dr. Powell helps us understand it with clearer eyes, from the point of view of both physician and caregiver. Ultimately, she wants us all to know that dementia is not only about loss--it's also about the preservation of dignity and hope.
