Care of our elderly......

We all have an elderly person in our life, most often times.

Elderly people are grandparents or other older individuals within our family usually..........some may have never been fortunate enough to have wonderful, caring grandparents, but I know I have !!!

When you are truly given kind, caring, advising elderly people within your family, who are kind, attentive, caring / loving toward you, We know we have to be responsible and forever love / adore take best care of them ! Exceptional care !!!

When we grow older to the elderly age of life, often we are ill, depressed, bored, exhausted, and maybe upset, confused, feel left out of other's lives !!! Oh, this is sad as can be !!!

We MUST forever take wonderful care of those elderly we know are ONLY of goodness toward us !!! IF you have a kind, caring, wonderful grandparent or just any elderly person you adore who is kind + caring ??? Take FULL RESPONSIBILITY of your elders !!!

Ways to care for, keep safe our elderly :::::

-- move them into home, if possible, or medical home
-- call, check up on them three times a day
-- take them to proper doctor appointments
-- take them shopping when needed
-- live close by stop by daily
-- at night, stay night if possible
-- make sure they can drive safely, if not remove keys.
-- take them with you daily everywhere you go
-- cook / prepare meals for them, take to home

-- take them for drives to get out of house
-- help clean, housekeep  for them.

Often as we grow to elderly we are often lost in life, loss of friends + family.....very life changing....we MUST have plenty of new friends and be surrounded by loved ones ! I think that Senior Citizens is a wonderful, free, program ALL towns, cities, grand or small MUST HAVE !!! It is free of cost, some meals may be $ 2 / a meal......they have dances, celebrations, remember birthdays, play board games, watch tv, sing, play music, creates NEW FRIENDSHIPS and possibly other relationships........very adorable / cutesy for our elderly, a place they can go to, to chat, carry on !!! Be outrageous at their ages, have fun again !!! Aww.....

Often we may have grandparents that lose friends and Senior Citizens is a beautiful campaign / organization that is a MUST !!! Sweet as can be !!!    ;)

Elderly people often suffer abuse at many of the nursing care / medical homes, so we MUST HAVE ONLY honest, kind, sweet, caring, well trained others there working to care for our loves ones of the old age........look for signs of abuse IF you have elderly within a nursing care / medical home !!! Abuse of any kind is suspected, alert police, investigate ! Medical report of the home there within town / city all over, MUST do this to save our elderly lives !!!

Dementia / Alzheimer's are brain disorders of the elderly age, most are stricken with this eventually, because of their ages, but we know we have plenty of help with specialist Neuro doctors and medicine to help combat the disease, often they say it is inherited by blood, I don't know for sure, BUT we need more awareness campaigns / study for this !!!

Most often our elderly need plenty of medical supplies for their home, and other home wares to help them as we often cannot walk, are rather slow, need extra help !!! These may be items we need for our elderly ::::
Bed pans
Mattress covers, plastic
Diapers + wipes, sanitary cleaning wipes
Dentures + denture creams / paste
Wheelchairs
Walking canes
Medical socks + shoes
Blood pressure check machine, electric
Thermometers

IF pets with the elderly, let them live there interior home with them, as comfort, stop depression.........pets are family / pals to us, at ALL ages !!!!

Just remember to include your elderly family with everything you attend, invite them, they need to be apart of your day apart of your lives daily !!! So get out there and include them in your lives !!! IF no elderly grandparents, adopt an elderly friend or create a new friendship with elderly out there who are all alone, need to be adopted as your new grandparents / elderly family !!! KEEP them very SAFE and involved in your life !!!   Our responsibility, ALL of us younger, show respect for those elders of GOODNESS.

You can learn plenty about life from the wise elders. They have lived it, most all of it, they know how it all works in life, this, that, everything ! Some of my favorite people are elderly !!!

LOVE, Julie!!!
