Many experts are saying that isolation and loneliness for the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic may begin to exhibit signs of dementia. Social isolation for the elderly can lead to more memory loss and cognitive issues. “We know people who are getting old, if they’re isolated or socially less stimulated, they tend to develop dementia earlier than others,” says behavioral neurologist Borna Bonakdarpour, an assistant professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Northwestern Medicine physician.
If someone is developing early signs of Alzheimers, they may already have particular risk factors for dementia such as loneliness. It can present as the subjective feeling of distress due to social distancing. Although most elders understand the physical risks associated with being in public at this time, they still cant help but have those feelings of being forced to be alone in their homes. It can actually have physical repercussions on people such as high blood pressure or a weakened immune system. Ofcourse, loneliness can also bring up feelings of suicidal thoughts, which has been shown to increase during the COVID pandemic as well. Some research experts even say that loneliness may result in cognitive decline in the elderly.

After a certain period of time, a family or care giver recognizes that they need help and begins to look for other solutions to care for the elderly, which may include home care. Home health care usually entails allowing seniors and others to live in their own homes with their families and caregivers. It’s a large decisions and it may not always be right for you, but knowing your options for assistance is vital.
If you are not doing well, you may not want to be at home, but studies have shown that those who live at home thrive in their homes as they feel as though they are in a comfortable environment.
When you get older, it helps you to maintain your independence and even gives you hope for yourself and those around you, including your loved ones. As you age and life changes, it can become more and more difficult to stay independent and age in your home. You may be used to managing everything yourself, sharing duties with your spouse, or relying on family members who provide you with help at home. Although this is hard to accept, most of us need some kind of care or support at some point in our lives.
But looking after an aging loved one takes on a whole new role for those loved ones who must balance their lives as well. If you are a care giver, you want your elderly relatives to stay at home and spare them the anxiety and depression that often plagues those living in assisted living or care homes. Taking over daily tasks such as running errands, cleaning, and cooking makes it easier for those to manage their daily routines.
Caring for a senior citizen alone can be extremely difficult, especially if he or she suffers from a chronic illness or dementia. In some cases, care obligations can become a heavy financial burden on the family, forcing the primary care service to reduce its working hours or the care giver to leave its workplace altogether. Some seniors are looked after by professional housekeepers who provide the company, but also care for the house, help with errands, prepare meals and clean.
Clients with memory loss generally require 24-hour monitoring for safety, and other seniors require regular visits from a family doctor or other care provider. As your loved ones need to be cared for and a new routine established, everyone needs to be patient with you and your family. It’s vital in order to find the right caregiver partners to assure that your loved ones are cared for appropriately.
Care for the elderly requires a caregiver to assist your relatives to get dressed, cook meals and do other daily activities. Qualified care is required for relatives who have received a diagnosis that has affected their daily lives and functioning. Medical knowledge is also required to ensure that your loved one is healthy when they are being treated for a variety of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, dementia, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart failure or other diseases.
There are many healthy seniors who need a little personal attention and social support and could benefit from regular help beyond what a family caregiver can provide. Hiring a companion can help to ease some of the concerns relatives have about looking after their loved ones and even provide mental health needs.
Companions have a wide range of skills and abilities that could benefit seniors and relatives, such as communication, social support, physical and mental health, and a variety of other activities. Quality Health Care Concierge can help families who may live far away from their loved ones or provide respite care to help reduce caregiving burnout.

Alternative health care is multifaceted and one of the major factors that affects one’s overall health is their nutritional capacity. Any individual that stays informed and well-versed in how the right nutrition can affect their overall health and well-being is on the right track! Often people feel that they have to make significant nutritional changes and shy away from the vast effects of even the smallest changes to their diets. Education and knowledge is key to keeping positive changes simple.
Many seniors feel that facing adjustments is a massive challenge. The reality is that nutritional needs are different with age while seniors fight the loss of muscle mass and potentially decreased immune function. Most dieticians stress the need to stock up on superfoods and immune boosting foods for the elderly. Some basic tips are to look at your snack choices and switch some of them up with fruits. Fresh fruits are simple because they don’t require preparation; another good choice is dried fruits that don’t have added sugar. Another trick is to add fruits and vegetables to meals you’re already making.Another wonderful addition to any diet is a very healthy breakfast, and you can easily add in some banana slices. Immune boosting foods include teas, Acai berries, leafy greens, sweet potatoes, garlic, and lots of ginger.
Quality Health Care Concierge cares about the wellness of the elderly! Our highly trained and compassionate caregivers take care of their clients in making sure their nutritional needs are always being met in their individual journeys to a lifestyle change through alternative care.

Home Care encompasses a wide variety of health and social services. Oftentimes, home health care is misconstrued for providing only one type of service but the industry is vast! As a generalization, home care services are appropriate for people who prefer to stay at home but require on-going care that cannot be easily performed by family members or loved ones. The services are delivered to those that are disabled, chronically ill, or have a terminal disease. The many facets of home care may include therapeutic treatments, those in need of medical/nursing/social care and mostly those in need of assistance with activities of daily living. As hospitals are in favor of decreasing hospitalizations, re-hospitalizations, and on-going in-hospital setting care, home care becomes an essential component of long term care in the community.
Home Care is cost-effective and allows for people to age in their homes where their care is delivered. This is a huge benefit as the main priority is conform at home rather than a brand new location. To that, there are many different types of care that allow for people to have the appropriate kind of care based on their individual needs. Caregivers consist of those that are Companions, CNA/HHA’s, LPN’s, RN’s, Licenced Clinical Social Workers, and more. The services may be paid by various forms of payment, all contractually dependent. These forms consist of private pay, private health insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, HMO’s (Health Maintenance Organizations), Social Services, and more.

Oftentimes people may confuse Palliative Care with Hospice Care or they shy away from acklowedgining the beneficial experience of Palliative Care. Palliative Care is such a broad type of care that it does not particularly specify treatment for one diagnosis or for any specific severity of care needs. Generally, it treats the whole-person and relieves symptoms whether or not it may cure a disease or disorder. It should not be confused with hospice care, which typically entails a terminal disorder where an individual has been diagnosed 6 months or less to live.
Most interestingly, Palliative Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team. Thus, the care needs are multifaceted and provide so many options to treatment plans. Palliative Care doctors help to prevent and alleviate suffering.
Quality Health Care Concierge is focused on introducing people to natural healing and alternative medicine in palliative care. With focus on the support network and strong knowledge of holistic care, they provide a wide network of palliative care and holistic care physicians in Florida.
