There was a little old lady standing at a corner. She had both hands holding her hat on while the wind blew her dress up around her waist.

A dignified southern gentleman came up and said, "Ma'am, you should be ashamed of yourself, letting your skirt blow around, being indecent, while both hands hold your hat."

She said, "Look mister, everything down there is seventy years old; this hat is brand new!"

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

Seniors Not Getting Important Preventive Health Services-HealthDay Articles

Many Americans aged 65 and older are not receiving potentially lifesaving preventive health services, says a new report by several U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agencies.

Too few seniors are getting recommended vaccinations for influenza and pneumococcal disease, including bloodstream infections, meningitis and pneumonia; help with quitting smoking; or screenings for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol and osteoporosis, according to the report released March 14.

"Millions of Americans are not getting proven clinical preventive services that we know can prevent disease and improve quality of life," study author Lynda Anderson, director of the Healthy Aging Program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a CDC news release.

Creative Storytelling Intervention Helps Dementia Patients | National Nursing News

Participation in a creative storytelling intervention improves communications skills and demeanor in people with dementia, according to a study by University of Missouri researchers.

The program, TimeSlips, encourages participants to use their imaginations to create short stories as a group. Participation does not require factual recall, but rather responses to humorous images presented by facilitators. The facilitators record the responses and read narratives to further develop or conclude the stories.

“TimeSlips provides rich, engaging opportunities for persons with dementia to interact with others while exercising their individual strengths,” said Lorraine Phillips, RN, PhD, FNP-BC, assistant professor in the Sinclair School of Nursing.

Online tool can help seniors determine risk for dementia | Johns Hopkins University - The Gazette

A quick online assessment tool developed by Johns Hopkins researchers can help worried seniors find out if they are at risk of developing dementia and determine whether they should seek a comprehensive, face-to-face diagnosis from a physician, according to a new study.

The tool, which is being refined and validated, is not meant to replace a full evaluation from a doctor that includes a physical exam, blood work, imaging studies and more. Instead, this assessment provides a scientific way to help a person educate himself about a disease that doctors now believe is best managed if caught early.

“As the population ages and dementia becomes more prevalent, it’s important to get people diagnosed early,” said Jason Brandt, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the leader of the study appearing online in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia. “Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia don’t just creep up on you. They’re incubating for decades in the brain. This tool is potentially very useful in determining who is at risk.”

Among the questions asked on the Dementia Risk Assessment are whether a person has a history of high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, high cholesterol or head injury, all of which are considered well-documented risk factors for dementia. The assessment also includes a simple memory test that could point to a subtle cognitive decline, Brandt says.

The study analyzed responses from 357 people over the age of 50 who took the assessment at www.alzcast.org. Those who scored lowest on the memory test were significantly older and were more likely to be men, have hypertension and report severe memory problems. And while only 9 percent of respondents reported they had severe memory problems, more than one-third said they had a first-degree relative with dementia or severe memory loss—a major risk factor for the condition.

The assessment takes just five to 10 minutes to complete online, and the questions have been borrowed from other scientifically valid assessments.

Money Problems | 10 Signs Your Parent is Struggling Financially, Caring.com

Your parents assure you that their bank balance is in fine shape. But is it really true -- or are you worried they're actually just scraping by?

Even if your parents haven't shared the details of their financial situation, there can be tell-tale warning signs that they're feeling the need to cut back on their expenses. Home Instead Senior Care, an elder care provider, has compiled a list of signs that may indicate your parents are in need of financial help.

Here are the warning signs to look out for, according to Home Instead:

  1. Is your seniors' home too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter?
  2. Is the lawn not getting mowed and is the sidewalk not getting cleared in inclement weather?
  3. Are they complaining about not being able to afford medications?

Nurses: Believe What They Tell You in Nursing School, A Nurse Does Make a Difference | BonnieRN Blog

My world, in geriatric care management, primarily consists of interacting with many health care technicians, non-degree workers, and varied professionals. So, saying this another way, most of my contacts are not nurses. I can tell you, more than weekly, I must explain to those in the field of social and care-giving support, how beneficial it is to have a nurse on the team or committee for decision making. I still get surprised that family is often unaware that a trained and registered nurse is not a part of the team when very serious medical choices are being reviewed for their loved one.  A nurse on the health care team is a natural advocate for the patient.

It is true, and is what I was taught, that the nurse is the last line of deffense (often) for a patient in a facility (or elsewhere). Nurses, know when to contact physicians when there is a concern, check physician orders after they are written, call for questions, order the medication (if needed) from the pharmacy, and verify that it has been delivered and administer the medication (or intervention) to the patient. In home support, nurses assess, support the patient in physician monitoring, and implement change (usually via contacting the physician) when it is needed.

So, the next time a health care team approaches you or asks for a meeting, be sure to include the RN on the team. That RN is a built in advocate for the patient, the family, and will monitor the success of the intervention.

Your questions and comments are appreciated and encouraged.

Change of Address: 40 Top Nursing Home Blogs for Families

40 Top Nursing Home Blogs for Families

It can be a struggle to decide when the timing is right to put a loved one into a nursing home. In general, they aren’t overly thrilled about it and you can understand why as they are giving up some of the independence that they have enjoyed for so long (at least to some extent). That’s really a tough transition for the person going into the nursing home as well as for their friends and family who love and care for them. Part of the concerns stem from the grim news we hear so often about nursing home abuse and other potential ways that our loved one can be taken advantage of (financial scams, isolation, and more). The best thing that we can do is stay informed and make sure that we are vigilant about looking after their care by checking in on them on a regular basis. Another great way is to stay in touch with current events, things to watch for, and more by reading news and blogs related to nursing homes. I put together this list of 40 blogs to help keep you up-to-date on the latest in senior care.

Falls, Slips, Personal Injury, Legal Nurse Consulting on: The Nurse Friendly:"The causes of falls are known as risk factors. Although no single risk factor causes all falls, the greater the number of risk factors to which an individual is exposed, the greater the probability of a fall and the more likely the results of the fall will threaten the person's independence."

******************************************************

Two old guys are pushing their carts around Walmart when they collide. The first old guy says to the second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." The second old guy says, "That's OK, it's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate." The first old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?" The second old guy says, "Well, she is 27 yrs old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, long legs, and is wearing short shorts. What does your wife look like?" To which the first old guy says, "Don't remember, let's look for yours." ******************************************************
