The humor and information website Cracked.com recently published an article titled “5 Lies Millennials and Baby Boomers Believe About Each Other.” It sets out to debunk the generalizations often made by social and political commentators who lament the flaws of the young generation or the perceived loss of traditional values.
There was an article that recently appeared in the Real Estate section of the New York Observer which described a program that exists in some localities to provide senior citizens with housing arrangements other than senior assisted living facilities.
Recognizing that the world needed some respite from bad news, the youth-oriented news site Vibe made a point of sharing a photograph that is quickly gaining popularity on the internet for its depiction of human kindness.
When looking through the news in virtually any locality, it is generally not a long time before one comes across a story of elderly people who have simply gone missing. Fortunately, many of them are recovered safely, but the danger is always present and always serious, especially among senior citizens who are living on their own and have been resistant to senior housing facilities despite early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Election Day was this past Tuesday in the United States. This year’s races may not have garnered much controversy or brought many people to the polls in certain localities – unlike what we can expect from next year’s federal elections – but every Election Day has the potential to draw attention to the social and civic roles filled by our nation’s elderly.
Did you know that Dick Van Dyke will be turning 90 years old in December? You wouldn’t think it to see him perform or watch his Vine videos, in which he dances in the grocery store and generally exhibits the energy that one tends to associate with a much younger man. His unusually active 80s have not gone unnoticed, and this has led to the recent release of his book, Keep Moving and Other Tips and Truths About Aging.
A report published by Reuters Health this week points to the potential effectiveness of health risk assessments in increasing the longevity and quality of life for senior citizens, including residents of senior housing facilities. The report describes the results of a recently completed study, which compared elderly recipients of personalized assessments to a control group and found significant differences in physical activity and acquisition of important preventative medicine.
An article at National Real Estate Investor recently took another look at the boom in the senior housing industry, which anticipates a major influx in demand in the next 10 years, as large numbers of baby boomers begin to require senior rehabilitation or the comfort and safety of senior housing facilities.
An upcoming episode of The Bachelorette Australia took an inventive approach to helping a young couple to imagine a long life together: it gave them an opportunity to fast-forward about 50 years to experience a date as a pair of septuagenarians.
Michigan’s Source Newspapers ran an article at the end of September explaining that the month had been designated Healthy Living Month by one area senior housing facility. Such a celebration is certainly a good idea for any senior housing or senior rehabilitation community, although it is of course a better idea to facilitate and encourage year-round healthy living.
"I really felt the services were excellent. I came in at 5:00pm on Saturday. and was evaluated the next day by therapy. and the food is excellent here. the staff is very professional and you can tell by everyone that they have a number one commitment of the facility to make everyone comfortable."
"This is the best place my mom has ever been. I love that there is an alternative menu. The staff is cheerful and helpful. The place is very clean. Beautiful grounds. We are so thankful to be here."
"If you need therapy or whatever to get back on your feet. you need to come here. and all the people that are here are just beautiful. they are here to get well just like me. tell the big bosses that it’s an A plus from me."
"Excellent! If I ever need rehab again, this is where I will come. The staff is friendly and very professional. People were very willing to meet my needs or get me whatever I needed."
"The staff is top-notch and very friendly. I really like the nurses. The activity staff is very friendly and fun. I appreciate that I was treated as an individual and met my individual needs. I had some concerns that I addressed with Terrie, the concierge, and she was able to resolve them."
"I was there for two weeks, I went in not even walking with a walker, and they worked hard with me. If you work hard with them they will get you walking again. I am almost walking without a walker now. if you don’t want to get better don’t go there. cause they will get you going. the food is ok. the staff is great."
"5 Stars! The level of care and concern is why I would recommend this facility to a friend."
"I feel like I can move forward in a healthy way. Friendly and professional staff."
"The medical care has been good. I would rate that a 5. I think OT, PT is good and I would rate that a 5. The CNA have all been extremely helpful and cheerful. I commend them all."
"Good place to be! 5 Stars! I think the service has been excellent...the staff has been more than helpful and friendly. I have been more than happy here."
