Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer's in Older Adults

     

As we age, it can be difficult to distinguish normal forgetfulness from something more serious, like Alzheimer’s Disease. Our South Jersey memory care team is here to share some of the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s in older adults, which can hopefully help you determine if your loved one needs a more professional level of care. 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association there are 50 million people around the world living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, so it’s likely that you know someone who has Alzheimer’s disease. With that said, do you know what early warning signs to watch out for?

1. Uncharacteristic changes in personality or mood. We all experience the occasional mood swing, but Alzheimer’s causes the person to feel confused, anxious, frustrated, or easily upset both at home and when outside of their comfort zone. 
2. They withdraw from social activities. If you notice your older loved one is no longer the social butterfly they once were, it might be because they’re struggling to keep up with conversations or because they have difficulty with a group dynamic. 
3. Their judgment changes. We know our loved ones, including their personalities, their habits, and their quirks. If you notice your senior parent making decisions that seem out of character, like making irresponsible decisions with their money, it may be a sign of something more serious. 
4. They stop caring about personal cleanliness and grooming. While this can also be a symptom of depression, a lack of interest in personal hygiene can be a strong indicator of Alzheimer’s. 
5. Misplacing important items. We’ve all occasionally misplaced our keys or our phones, but people with Alzheimer’s will often misplace important items and they won’t be able to retrace their steps in order to help find them. 
6. They have difficulty with one-on-one conversations. People with Alzheimer’s may lose their train of thought mid-conversation, they may repeat themselves several times, or they may struggle to remember common words or phrases.
7. Confusion with times and places. It’s common to miss an appointment here and there. However, if you notice your loved one is losing track of important dates, or if they forget where they are and how they got there, speak with their primary doctor as soon as possible. 
8. They struggle to complete routine tasks. Things like making a grocery list, putting every-day items like dishes back in the correct place, and driving to frequently-visited locations may become difficult to those with Alzheimer’s.
9. Difficulty with planning and problem-solving, including managing monthly bills and making plans to get together with family.
10.  Asking the same questions repeatedly, even when they’ve just been given the information they’re asking for.

When is it time for professional memory care? 

As Alzheimer’s advances, the person usually becomes unable to live alone and often requires around-the-clock professional care. It can be a difficult decision to make, but if your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it may be time to start exploring your options. We recommend researching specialized memory care neighborhoods like Tapestries® at The Shores in Cape May County because we have many different cutting-edge methods to handle the specific needs of people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. 

From on-site medical care to flexible sleep and meal schedules, Tapestries Memory Care at The Shores has been designed to give your loved one the highest quality of life possible. While also giving you the peace of mind in knowing your loved one with dementia is in a safe, secure environment that prioritizes their every need.

2 Important Tips for Maintaining Healthy Lungs as We Age

Enjoying your Golden Years to the full means taking great care of yourself, from eating a healthy diet and having regular check-ups with your health specialists to getting enough exercise. As we age, our lungs start weakening and becoming less flexible, which can quickly compromise health and daily life. Here are a couple of tips for keeping your lungs healthy and strong, from our CCRC in Sussex County, New Jersey, in honor of National Senior Health Fitness Day (May 27).

Why Lung Health Changes as We Age 

 

From about the age of 35, our lung capacity and health can begin to decline even if we don’t suffer from lung disease. This is because the structures around the lungs, such as the muscles and cardiovascular system can become weaker, rather than the lungs themselves developing issues. Common examples of this include a weakening of the diaphragm, weakening of the ribcage bones and muscles, and even a weakened immune system. 

Of course, lung health itself can become compromised by health conditions like asthma and cancer. So, it’s important to take a two-pronged approach to lung health by combining exercise with lifestyle choices that reduce health risks.

Avoid Health Risks to Your Lungs

 

Lung health conditions are the third leading cause of death in the USA, with conditions like lung cancer, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease resulting in 235,000 deaths each year. Steps you can take to prevent these conditions and improve your lung health include:

• Give up smoking. There are many practical and effective programs that your doctor can direct you to for assistance in quitting this dangerous habit.

• Avoid secondhand smoke and air pollution.

• Wear a safety mask when dealing with harmful fumes and contaminants like home cleaning chemicals, oven cleaner, weed killers and fungicides, ash, and the like.
• Prevent infections by ensuring vaccines and flu shots are up-to-date, practice good hygiene (especially the frequent washing of hands and the use of hand sanitizer), and practice social distancing in the flu season.
  
  

Boost Your Lung Health Through Exercise

 

Cardiovascular exercise is a great way to keep lungs fit and healthy, giving your heart and lungs a good workout. Remember to speak to your doctor to help find an exercise regime that will work for you and that won’t put you at risk of injury. Great exercises to consider include:

• Walking. Join a local exercise group, rambling group or hiking group,
• Swimming or water aerobics,
• Cycling
• Dancing
• Gardening

For less mobile seniors, there are still effective ways to promote your lung health through exercise, including seated exercises, yoga, and physical therapy. Many physical therapists and gyms offer programs specifically for less mobile seniors that can be tailored to your needs and ability, helping to slowly and safely build lung strength and capacity. Again, you can ask your doctor and local facilities for guidance before getting started.

A Guide to Preventing and Treating Cataracts in Seniors

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cataracts affect almost 20.5 million people over age 40 in the USA alone – a figure set to rise to around 30 million by 2028. Here’s some important information on preventing and treating cataracts in seniors, from our assisted living center in Gloucester County, NJ.

What Are Cataracts and Why Do They Occur? 

When the lens of the eye clouds over it’s known as a cataract. The clouding starts slowly – even unnoticeably. But, it will increase until light can no longer enter the eye and the individual can no longer see. While cataracts can occur at birth, this condition primarily affects older people.

Cataracts are caused by a clumping of protein in the eye. The lens itself is made of protein and water and, over time, the protein can become sticky. As this clump grows, it blocks out light entering the eye. No one knows exactly why this happens, but certain risk factors make you more likely to have cataracts. Eleven risk factors include:

1. Unprotected exposure of the eyes to UV (ultra-violet) light
2. Poor nutrition
3. Diabetes
4. Obesity
5. Smoking
6. Hypertension
7. Chronic use of corticosteroids
8. Chronic use of statin medications
9. Injury to the eye and eye surgery
10. Hormone replacement therapy
11. Genetic history

How to Treat Cataracts 

Cataracts are commonly treated through surgery. Typically, an outpatient procedure, the clouded cataract is removed and replaced with a permanent artificial lens. Recovery time is between six and eight weeks. The results are very positive, restoring clear vision and making reading, watching TV, moving around the home, and socializing easy again.

5 Tips for Preventing Cataracts 

Of course, prevention is always better than a cure! You can help to prevent cataracts and protect your vision by:

1. Eating lots of fresh, leafy greens and fruits high in antioxidants
2. Committing to regular eye exams
3. Limiting alcohol intake and stopping smoking
4. Effectively managing health conditions like diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure
5. Protecting your eyes by wearing UV-certified sunglasses and shade hats

Family History of Colorectal Cancer? Don’t Skip Your Screening!

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and our assisted living team in Gloucester County, NJ is raising awareness about this dangerous health condition. Spotting this condition early is critical to early treatment, especially if you have a family history of the disease, ensuring the best chance for a full recovery, which makes regular screenings so important.

Who Should Be Screened for Colorectal Cancer?

• Everyone over the age of 50 (both men and women) or if you are African American and over the age of 45
• People with a family history of colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s Disease or polyps
• People experiencing any high-risk symptoms, including persistent stomach pains/cramps, blood in their stool or unexplained weight loss

What is the Screening Process? 

Screening allows doctors to pick up on early signs of colorectal cancer, allowing an effective treatment plan to be developed and implemented as soon as possible. This is critical to preventing polyps from becoming cancer and ensuring that treatment is as effective as possible, saving lives.
Your doctor can recommend several types of screening processes, including:

• Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT or iFBOT). An inexpensive annual test that can be done at home. If blood is detected in the stool, a colonoscopy will be required for further evaluation.
• Guaiac Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT).This is similar to the above and will also require a colonoscopy if the test comes back positive for blood.
• Flexible Sigmoidoscopy.This test is done in a doctor’s office every five years to check for polyps. It is often combined with a stool test. It doesn’t require sedation, but a colonoscopy is required if any warning symptoms are detected.
• Virtual colonoscopy.Using x-rays and computer technology, doctors can create 2D and 3D colon scans to look for polyps. Although non-invasive and done every three years, it can be more expensive than a colonoscopy and is not covered by all healthcare insurers. A colonoscopy is required if any warning symptoms are detected.
• Double Contrast Barium Enema.In this procedure, air and barium are pumped into the rectum, causing polyps to show up on x-rays. It is recommended every 5 to 10 years and a colonoscopy is required if any polyps are detected.

Over 60? These 6 Eye Care Tips are For You!

It’s National Glaucoma Awareness Month and Eye Care Month, so the team at our assisted living community is sharing their best eye health tips for people over 60!

1. Eye tests, eye tests, eye tests. We’re sure you’ve heard it countless times, but your annual eye examination is one of the most important and effective things you can do to keep your eyes healthy. It’s not just about spotting deteriorating vision, it’s about early detection of different eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and high blood pressure.
2. Wear the right lenses for your vision. Vision deteriorates as we age and most people over 60 have several pairs of eyeglasses lying around the house. Wearing the right lenses for your vision is essential however, so don’t let yours get out-of-date. This can result in eye strain, headaches and increase the risk of falls.
3. Know the risks. Did you know that women are more likely than men to have glaucoma — and that they are 24% less likely to get treatment? And that genetics play a role in the development of eye health conditions? Knowing your eye health risks and family history are important — this way, you can take action quickly if you notice any warning signs.
4. Sun protection. Always wear quality sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays when you’re outdoors, as this will reduce your risks of cataracts, pterygium and macular degeneration. Pterygium, also known as surfer’s eye, is a growth of pink, fleshy tissue on the conjunctiva, the clear tissue that lines your eyelids and covers your eyeball.
5. Eat well. A well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and lean proteins is important for eye health, and studies have shown that fish and omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce macular degeneration. A balanced diet also helps keep blood sugar and blood pressure regular.
6. Get medical attention for any eye injuries. Any form of trauma to the eye, whether it’s from a fall, a foreign object or anything else, should be attended to as soon as possible by a medical professional. This will ensure the issue is treated properly and that risk of eye diseases or infections is reduced.

Diagnosing and Treating Hearing Loss

Hearing loss typically begins around age 40 and slowly progresses — in fact, most people don’t even realize they’re not hearing things as clearly as they used to. For the elderly, hearing loss often progresses to the point where quality of life can be affected, and verbal communication is difficult, so it’s important recognize the symptoms of hearing loss early and get professional treatment. Here are some insights from our in-home respite care team in New Jersey.

How is Hearing Loss Diagnosed? 

An audiologist will be able to run a series of tests to evaluate the quality of your hearing and measure the extent of its deterioration. These aren’t painful tests and don’t require a hospital stay — most require you to answer questions about your health and hearing issues, and to listen to differently pitched tones through headphones.

It’s important to get a diagnosis on your hearing problem, as there are many conditions that can affect your hearing. These include:

• Age-related hearing loss;
• Build-up of earwax;
• Infection;
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears);
• Nerve damage; and
• Medication (including cancer chemotherapies).

How is Hearing Loss Treated? 

Most of these conditions are very treatable, so early diagnosis is key to getting your hearing back and preventing more serious issues. Treatments can range from a course of antibiotics in the case of infection, to a high-tech hearing aid in the case of age-related hearing loss.

Managing your diet and lifestyle can also help preserve your hearing, and following doctors’ orders to manage conditions like hypertension, diabetes, vascular disease, kidney disease, cholesterol, and thyroid disease are especially important. Even simple lifestyle changes can have an impressive effect – for some people, cutting down on their caffeine intake can prevent inner ear issues like tinnitus, ear pressure problems, dizziness and hearing loss.

Inside the Medicare 5-Star Rating System

If you’re in the process of trying to select a skilled nursing provider to meet your loved one’s senior care needs, then you may have come across the Medicare 5-star rating system, also known as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) star ratings. In this article, the team from our assisted living community in Gloucester County explains what this is all about.

What is the 5-Star Rating System? 

Over 10 years ago, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon posed the following question to congress: Why is it easier for people to choose a new appliance than to choose a skilled nursing community? The result was the development of the 5-star rating system.

In this system, skilled nursing providers are awarded a rating of between one and five stars, with five stars being the best rating. This rating is based on several key factors, such as:

Health inspections. How the provider has performed in health inspections over the last three years.
Staff. How many hours of nursing care each resident or patient receives per day as well as the ratio of staff per resident or patient. Facilities with high care needs like hospice or nursing homes would be expected to have more skilled nursing staff than assisted living communities with lower intensity care needs.

Quality of care. Eleven different criteria covering the level of medical and physical care are evaluated. The ratings also take into account how timely the agency is in starting care, how patients and residents improve under care, and how well the provider performs in terms of minimizing patient and resident trips to hospitals and emergency rooms.

This system is fairly comprehensive and — because there are so many different providers and care plans available to seniors — this makes it a useful tool for evaluating different care options and plans. However, it shouldn’t be your only resource in making this important decision, and you should ensure that you visit different providers in person and get quality references.

5 Healthy Vision Tips for Seniors

The eyes are often called the window to the soul — and they’re certainly an important window out into the world. As we age, vision can deteriorate, and we can become increasingly at risk for health conditions that affect eyesight. Here are five tips for seniors from our home health aide services team to help protect and preserve eyesight:

1. Be aware of changes in eyesight/discomfort. In the case of most eye health conditions, early detection is critical to restoring eyesight and minimizing damage. If you notice changes in your vision and eyes — blurriness, yellowing, pain, loss of night vision, etc. — make an appointment to see an eye doctor as soon as possible.
2. Stay informed about systemic health problems. Certain health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can worsen as we age and affect vision. It’s important to keep your ophthalmologist informed about your health conditions and the medication you’re taking to ensure that they can spot issues easily, give advice on how to recognize eye problems and assist in keeping your eyes healthy.
3. Regular exercise. For eyes to be healthy, they need good blood circulation and a constant flow of oxygen, and exercise provides this stimulation. It also helps with keeping health conditions that affect the eyes under control. This doesn’t mean training for a marathon, however — yoga, stretching, walking, water aerobics and other gentle exercises are also effective.
4. Invest in quality eye protection. Always wear protective eyewear when outdoors, especially in bright sunlight. Make sure that your sunglasses have larger lenses with an ultraviolet (UV) filter that blocks 100% of harmful rays.
5. Have regular eye exams. Eye tests are not just for making sure that your prescription is up-to-date, it’s about monitoring and assessing the health of your eyes. Eye exams are designed to pick up early signs of health conditions that can affect your vision, including glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. One exam per year is recommended, but don’t hesitate to go more often if you are concerned about your vision.

5 Easy Ways to Add Extra Nutrition into a Senior Diet

Digestive issues and lack of appetite are common concerns among seniors and can make getting proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight a challenge. Here are some tips from our in home respite care team in New Jersey on how to assist seniors in this important area:

1. Easily digested protein. Some forms of protein are more difficult to chew and digest than others, so it can help to include different sources that offer alternatives for seniors with poor digestion or dental challenges. Eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese, tuna, salmon, cottage cheese and ground beef are high-protein, versatile options to suit any taste.
2. Smoothies are a great way to add a variety of fruit and vegetables, as well as protein into a diet — and they’re tasty and easy to swallow and digest, too. Green smoothies of leafy greens like spinach and kale blended with mango, pineapple and banana are a favorite, but you can also experiment with all kinds of seasonal fruits, vegetables and yogurts for variety.
3. Whey protein powder. This is easy to add into oatmeal, porridge and fruit smoothies and is a fantastic source of protein that requires no chewing at all. There are quite a few varieties on the market and neutral options don’t impact flavor significantly, so they’re great for fussy eaters. Since some have added sugar, seniors who have diabetes or are trying to manage their weight, should be aware of the ingredients.
4. Versatile healthy fats. Creamy peanut butter, mashed avocado, olive oil and butter can all be easily added into everyday meals such as soups, pureed vegetables, mashed potatoes and casseroles to increase calorie intake (if needed) and add healthy fats essential to regulating blood sugar levels and healthy brain function.
5. Homemade ‘ice cream.’ If your senior has a sweet tooth and loves deserts, this type of ice cream is a healthy and delicious alternative. Simply freeze slices of ripe banana and when it’s time for desert, put them in the blender with some drops of vanilla or frozen berries. It’s sweet and delicious — and rich in potassium and vitamins — and you can’t even tell it isn’t regular ice cream!

7 Senior Skin Cancer Prevention Tips

Spending time outdoors in the summer is a favorite activity for many people in New Jersey! While it’s important to get enough Vitamin D to keep bones, teeth and the immune system healthy, it’s still important to avoid damage from UV (ultra-violet) rays that can lead to skin cancer.

Although much of this damage is done in our earlier years of life, healthy precautions proactively protect seniors — just look at these seven tips from the team at our assisted living community in Gloucester County, NJ:

1. Use high quality sunblock. Always choose a waterproof sunblock of at least SPF30 (sun protection factor) if not higher, even on cloudy days.
2. Cover up. Pretty cotton shawls, wide-brim sun hats and loose cotton pants are great for keeping cool and keeping UV rays from coming into direct skin contact.
3. Protect those eyes. Sunglasses with large polarized lenses and a UV400 rating (blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays) are a must-have, making it more comfortable to see on bright days and protecting the eyes and delicate skin around them.
4. Stay indoors during peak UV times. Sunshine becomes particularly dangerous around midday, so it’s a good idea for anyone — senior or otherwise — to stay indoors between 11am and 2pm and reserve the morning and afternoon for outdoor activities.
5. Take Vitamin D. As we mentioned above, Vitamin D is very important, and many seniors simply aren’t getting enough. Your doctor will be able to tell you just how much of the supplement you should take to stay healthy, as it’s important not to have too much in your diet.
6. Check your medications. Some medications, including some antibiotics, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s effects, causing you to burn more easily. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure that none of your prescriptions put you at higher risk. If they do, try to stay indoors or in the shade as much as possible and be extra diligent with reapplying sunblock.
7. Perform a skin exam. Self-examinations are a good way to spot any indications of early skin cancer. Look for spots, changes in skin color, burns, new spots or growths on moles or itchy/bleeding moles or skin growths. If you have any concerns, visit your doctor — it never hurts to have skin cancer ruled out.
