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
visit the Articles section of our website. Dozens of candid articles get
right to the "heart of the matter," from both the Caregiver’s
and Senior’s perspectives.

"Why Are Restaurants So Loud?"
In recent years, food critics and business journals have
commented on the noise level of restaurants. Across the country, the
trend toward more modern design has changed the acoustics of
restaurants, which may alienate those who are hard of hearing. Many find
that dining in noisy restaurants makes conversation extremely difficult
and no longer enjoyable.
Gone are the tablecloths and carpeted floors. Restaurant
designs now boast exposed brick, wood, iron, and concrete. With these
hard surfaces, the noise of restaurants is too much for many. Music and
ambiance is also a huge part of restaurants. Bon Appetit Magazine writes
that loud restaurants "are perceived as lively and vibrant."
Unfortunately, as the music gets louder, so do our voices as we attempt
to hear each other over the tunes and other diners.
Don’t lose your appetite quite yet. With the newest
hearing technology, you can still enjoy dinner in these restaurants with
your friends and loved ones. Customized settings and remote controls are
now available. One model even has a GPS feature that remembers your
preferences and automatically adjusts to your saved settings each time
you enter that same restaurant.
Make Your Preferences Known To Owners, Managers &
Staff
There are about 120,000 people over the age of 50 in
Yavapai County. Almost 30% of those have some degree of hearing
challenge. Consider there may be over 35,000 customers in Yavapai that
are not enjoying a restaurant due to the noise and/or lack of awareness
by staff. The population of Baby Boomers will double in the next 30
years. These are trends to pay attention to. These simple steps could
improve your experience.
1) Ask to be seated in the least noisy
part of the restaurant.
2) Suggest to the manager that they train staff to face customers, slow
down and enunciate their speech.
3) Suggest to the manager that they turn down the music
and ask staff to be sensitive to loud background noise.
Do not stop enjoying local restaurants. Begin by getting
your hearing checked. No hearing aid provider should promise perfectly
renewed hearing. However, the best advice is to start now, get tested,
have realistic expectations, be patient and exercise your brain, using
the best hearing systems and counseling you can find locally. Be
proactive. Let’s work together, each taking responsibility for our
side of the communication channels.

"Sun Safety for Seniors"
As a child, you may have spent numerous hours outdoors
during the summer. Now that you’re an adult, you may find the summer
months to be far less enjoyable because of the heat. This is normal,
according to Monica Durocher, RN, CRRN at Mountain Valley Regional
Rehabilitation Hospital. "As you age, the body’s mechanisms that
help regulate internal temperature become less efficient. This means
that you lose some of your ability to adapt to heat, leaving you with a
lower tolerance and making you more susceptible to heat-related
illnesses."
This is caused by a few different reasons -- one being that an adult
older than 65 doesn’t sweat as much as a younger individual. Sweating
helps to cool the body. Also, an older adult may be more likely to have
a chronic condition or be on medication that affects the body’s
ability to respond to heat. Called hyperthermia, heat-related illnesses
can include heat exhaustion, cramps, fatigue, and stroke (also called
sun stroke). Symptoms can include a flushed face, high body temperature,
headache, nausea, rapid pulse, dizziness, or lack of sweating. "Hyperthermia
is caused as blood rushes to the skin’s surface as the body tries to
cool itself," Durocher
says. "As a result, less blood
reaches the brain, muscles, and other organs, which can interfere with
muscle strength and mental capacity. In severe cases, this can be
dangerous."
According to the National Institute on Aging, if someone
is suspected of suffering from a heat-related illness, you should:
> Get the person out of the heat and into a shady, air-conditioned,
or other cool place. Urge them to lie down.
> If the person can swallow safely, offer fluids such as water, fruit
or vegetable juices. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
> Encourage the individual to shower, bathe or sponge off with
cool water.
> Apply a cold, wet cloth to the wrists, neck,
armpits, and/or groin area. These are places where blood passes close to
the surface of the skin, and the cold cloths can help cool the blood.
> Call 911 if you suspect heat stroke.
The best defense with a heat-related illness, however, is to prevent it
from ever occurring. "The best way to enjoy a warm day is to arm
yourself with some heat-related knowledge and take sensible
precautions," Durocher says. To enjoy a warmer day safely, she
suggests:
> Stay hydrated. Drink water often, even if you don’t feel
thirsty.
> Check your medicines. Some may make you more
sensitive to the sun. Ask your doctor.
> Wear sunscreen. Apply before you head outside, and
reapply often.
> Wear proper clothing. Wear light-weight, breathable
clothing, long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat.
> Wear sunglasses. Look for those that protect from
UVB and UVA rays.
> Go indoors. Mid-day sun is the hottest. Plan indoor
activities for those times. Stay in air-conditioned areas when it’s
hot outside.
> Take cool showers or baths to cool down.

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:

INFORMATIONAL ARTICLES
The Informational Articles section contains articles
on a wide variety of topics relating to aging. The articles are short
