Informational Articles
As Caregivers, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the
sheer number of tasks that need to be accomplished for your loved one
each day. While it’s easy to remain upbeat on good days, it’s the
bad days that can leave you feeling confused, exhausted or resentful. At
these times, it’s important to know that you’re not alone.
Knowing what to expect can help tremendously in your ability to cope.
Knowledge is Power! Each month in this newsletter we include one or more
articles on topics relating to the joys and challenges of aging and
caregiving. To read additional articles on a variety of topics, please

right to the "heart of the matter," from both the Caregiver’s
and Senior’s perspectives.

Heads Up on Preventing Brain Injuries
"We’re all at risk for head injuries," says
Dr. Terry Bagley, Assistant Medical Director of Mountain Valley Regional
Rehabilitation Hospital, "Brain injuries don’t discriminate and
can occur anytime, anywhere…with anyone."
Brain injuries result from bumps, blows or jolts to the
head. The symptoms of brain injuries can range from a brief change in
mental state to an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia.
"Regardless of the severity of the injury, all
brain injuries are serious," Bagley says. "Your brain is the
consistency of gelatin. It’s cushioned by fluid inside your skull.
When you suffer a blow or jolt to the head, it can forcibly slide your
brain back and forth, which can stretch and damage the brain cells and
create chemical changes. It also can lead to bleeding in or around the
brain, which can cause symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion, blurry
vision, headaches, nausea, dizziness, or difficulty in concentrating and
remembering things."
Brain injuries can affect individuals not only
physically, but emotionally and behaviorally as well. In the United
States, more than 5 million people live with disabilities caused by
brain injuries. The most common cause of brain injuries is caused by
falls, which tend to happen more with children under the age of 14 or
with adults older than 65 years of age. Following falls, motor vehicle
wrecks are the second-leading cause of brain injuries.
"We’re all at risk for brain injuries, but with a
little planning they can be prevented without epic effort," Bagley
says. Consider these precautions:
> Always buckle up in a car – wear your seatbelt.
Every time.
> Make sure you buckle your child properly in a car.
Use the right child safety seat, booster or seat belt based upon your
child’s age and weight.
> Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
> Shut your cell phone off while in the car. Don’t
talk. Don’t text. Distracted driving causes wrecks.
> Wear a helmet. And, make sure your children and
grandchildren wear helmets with appropriate activities. This could
include various sports like bike riding, skateboarding, skating,
horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, or any other activity
where a head injury is more likely to occur.
> Help make living areas safer for older adults.
Remove tripping hazards like throw rugs or clutter in hallways. Use
non-slip mats in the bathroom and grab bars near the shower or toilet.
Install handrails on all stairs. Improve lighting throughout the home.
> Help make living areas safer for smaller children
by using window guards and installing safety gates around stairways.
Keep doors closed and locked that lead to stairs. Set up outside play
areas on shock-absorbing material like sand or mulch.

website are designed to improve your quality of life.
THE
SENIORCONNECTION.US WEBSITE
As caregivers, it’s easy to feel
overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks that need to be accomplished
for your loved ones each day.
Although hundreds of resources exist to help you, the
hardest part can be finding what’s available.
Therefore, in addition to the Caregiver Connection
newsletter, I am also pleased to make available to you several valuable
resources via the “Senior
Connection website.” This web-based one-stop Educational and
Information center for Caregivers and Seniors is designed to save you
time and money, as well as your sanity.
The SeniorConnection.us
website consists of a comprehensive Resource Directory, Articles on
topics of relevance to caregivers and seniors, and informational Videos
and Slideshows about agencies that offer help throughout Yavapai County.
SENIOR RESOURCES DIRECTORY
The Resources Directory contains contact
information for hundreds of local nonprofit, government and commercial
agencies that provide helpful products and services to ease the life of
caregivers.
Updated weekly, this searchable database will save you
literally hundreds of research hours and connect you with nonprofit,
government and commercial agencies that can help with every aspect of
being a caregiver.
Categories include areas such as assisted living and
skilled nursing facilities, in-home care providers, transportation, meal
preparation and delivery, and financial assistance.
A search on one or more keywords results in all of the
companies that provide a particular product or service. You can then
print out the Profile of each agency that is of interest to you.
All on the website at:
Senior Connection.us
INFORMATIONAL ARTICLES
The Informational Articles section contains articles
on a wide variety of topics relating to aging. The articles are short
and sweet, yet go directly to the heart of the matter of some of the
most sensitive issues surrounding our fears and frustrations as
caregivers. No topic is off-limits and new articles are constantly being
added to the website at: SeniorConnection.us
EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS
Educational Videos and Slideshows, narrated by
recognized experts in the community, are posted on the website.
