Then you are not alone in this battle as more and more older adults are facing the exact same problems you’re having right now! One study was done within the medical community particularly to nurses and how they balance their work and family life. Although the study was primarily intended to determine the effects on a nurse’s life, what’s more stunning is the overwhelming number of nurses who clearly qualified [...]

Looking for an extra something this Christmas? Why not aim for extra money so you can add funds to your gift giving activities? Earning your extra money doesn’t have to be an extra effort on your part too! Let’s just say that this is the season when people are willing to shell out their saved money for just about anything! Just look at how well department stores and retail stores [...]

This Christmas, it becomes really important to have peace of mind, or else, you don’t stand a chance of having a jolly one! Personally I see peace and Christmas go hand in hand so when you say the latter, the former becomes hundred times magnified that sometimes it almost becomes depressing to even think of. In this day and age when everyone seems to be restless and running from one [...]

One of the most painful conditions to ever affect seniors is arthritis. Most of the times, it hits mildly, easy enough to manage but discomfort is there, other times, it’s almost crippling! For your information, pain brought about by arthritis can be managed thus allowing seniors to do other enjoyable stuff—things that really matter. In a nutshell, arthritis is when there’s an existing condition that damages the joint. Literally, arthritis [...]

Seniors probably have the longest gift list this Christmas! Just imagine those little tots and not so little ones lining up your doorsteps to receive their gifts or even your nosy neighbor inspecting what’s beneath your tree. No matter how hard life has been hitting you these past few months, Christmas still remains to be the season for giving and sharing. Gifts are the only thing that can complete the [...]

It’s not easy to spot an abused senior. These cruel acts certainly don’t happen outside of home; it always occurs during private moments, when seniors are left alone with their abusers. I’ve come across several cases in which their loved-ones, the ones who truly care for them, are the last ones to know and often times, it’s a little too late for them to intervene as the damage has already [...]

Back then, it’s common for seniors to acquire multiple homes by the time they reach their retirement years. Some even tag their homes as “vacation homes”, “weekend houses” and even their “city house” if they need to stay within the city for an extended time. These houses were considered as an investment, something that they can pass on to their offspring in due time. Those were the days when taxes [...]

Since these two affect our body’s system to some extent, it is but normal for them to sometimes not agree with each other. If you take a closer look to most prescribed medications and even OTC ones, they bear warnings of types of food not to take when the medication is supposedly still active within our bodies. Even the seemingly harmless ones can sometimes worsen your current state if you [...]

I would like to put emphasis on the word “elderly” since I don’t think seniors would have any use for basic computer tips. Nonetheless, I have been receiving several requests from elderly groups trying to get me to teach them basic computer usage and how to deal with “first time” confusion and whatnot hence this post. Fortunate are those who have patient grandkids to teach them how. Some of the [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted about seniors falling to fraudulent schemes. It’s a given fact that seniors are the usual targets of scams and personally, I take offense on that. I only take refuge in the fact that maybe these unscrupulous people who are after a senior believe we have money hidden somewhere and not because we are gullible human beings—easy enough to handle. I still believe [...]
