More than 100 million American adults currently care for a parent or other elderly relative in their home. These arrangements are often more by necessity than choice, as paying for outside caregivers or a long-term care facility can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a month. For many families, taking on this care themselves is the only viable option. Check out this article about crafting a caregiving strategy that could work for your family. https://hubs.la/Q02H074r0

I am committed to documenting and quantifying the work carried out in family households providing family caregiving. I want to be able to put equivalent work that would be carried out in an institutional setting side by side with the work being done by family caregiving families. I want to compare the flow of resources that support each bed within these settings. I want to create and then compare a line by line chart of accounts that would allow us to see, in tangible terms, how resources are allocated, how values are defined, and whether the flow of resources is appropriate for the quantity and quality of work being carried out. As I look back on my records for the past two years of family caregiving, it allows me to see this work in a new light. It allows me to understand this work from a distance, instead of only seeing the seeming amorphous mass from the point of view of immersion. I want to help change our perspectives about caregiving: our understanding of what it means to be a caring economy, and our systems support for the work of caring in our society. https://lnkd.in/guR4pzNF

Image Description: Text, "Caregiving is an honor. It can also be lonely. You can be an ally at work by giving the space and safety for people to share - or to be silent - about their caregiving identity. Black and white picture in the background of two co-workers on a virtual meeting.

Tomorrow is National Heimlich Maneuver Day! Originating in 1974, this life-saving technique was developed by Dr. Henry Heimlich and has since become a crucial skill for preventing choking deaths. The Heimlich Maneuver's impact is profound, saving countless lives every year by providing a simple, effective response to choking emergencies. Older adults are at higher risk for choking due to age-related changes in swallowing and increased use of medications that can affect muscle coordination. Knowing how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver can be vital for caregivers, family members, and anyone working with seniors. Please take a moment to: Learn or refresh our knowledge of this critical technique. Share resources and information to raise awareness. Encourage training in senior living communities to ensure the safety of our elderly loved ones. #HeimlichManeuverDay #SeniorCare #LifeSavingSkills #ElderlySafety #Caregiving I help the adult children of seniors by buying Mom's house fast, for cash, so that she (or dad) has the funds available for their transition to a senior living community.
