Create a Cheerful Holiday for All AgesThe holiday season can be filled with family, cheer, and joy, but it can also bring feelings of loneliness and stress for many older adults. Travel can be difficult, along with special diets and shopping. Here are some things that you can do to help diminish holiday stress for your older family members and friends.Food & Dietary RestrictionsAs we age, we must take a closer look at our diets and that can make it difficult for seniors to enjoy decadent holiday meals. Foods that require a little extra chewing strength arent a great option for seniors. Some foods dont mix well with certain medications and sometimes, as our digestive systems change, certain foods can cause a bad reaction. A simple solution to the stress-inducing issue is to talk to any seniors who will be attending your holiday event, and make sure to incorporate foods that can be enjoyed by everyone.Travel & Limited MobilityAnother common activity during the holidays that isnt always easy for seniors is travel. Whether family is across town or across the country, limited mobility may prohibit some older adults from finding their way to the holiday gathering. Offer assistance send someone to pick them up, arrange a cab or uber, or bring the celebration to them. Find out what is easiest for them and try to accommodate their needs. If long distance travel is involved, you can help them navigate the internet to find the best options for plane or train tickets. And if they cant make it to the gathering, make sure to call them! Or even better, use your favorite video chat program if they have a device that will support it. Let them know that they are loved.Missing a Loved One During the HolidaysOld or young, if you have suffered the loss of a loved one, the holidays can bring extra feelings of grief. A good way to combat the loneliness or sadness a senior may feel at this time of year is to talk about it. Share your personal happy anecdote about the deceased and ask for more uplifting stories. If you avoid talking about the death of a loved one, it could leave others feeling as if youve forgotten or moved on. Let their life be a cheerful memory during the holiday season.Holidays are cheerful, but theyre also stressful, and the stress can be amplified as we age. Reach out to the seniors that are closest to you, ask about their lives, what they need to eat or travel comfortably. Most importantly, let them know you are thinking about them and they are loved. Make sure holiday stress doesnt distract from the cheer and joy of the season.Questions please call, Talem Home Care and Placement Services at 970-789-7350.

Today, the use of a professional mortgage broker is one of the key strategies used by sophisticated borrowers.What is a Mortgage Broker?A mortgage broker is an independent real-estate financing professional who specializes in the origination of residential mortgage loans. Mortgage brokers normally pass the actual funding and servicing of loans on to wholesale lending sources. A mortgage broker is also an independent contractor working with (on average) as many as 40 lenders at any one time. By combining professional expertise with direct access to hundreds of loan products, your broker provides the most efficient way to obtain financing tailored to your specific financial goals.What Do Mortgage Brokers Do?In the volatile home-lending market, mortgage brokers can serve as safeguards, offering their clients security, safety, and peace of mind. One of the broker's most important functions is escorting your loan application through the entire process, constantly patrolling the component transactions for possible breakdowns. A professional mortgage broker can wade through the mountains of rate data and program options, researching current market conditions to find the most accurate and up-to-date information about cost-effective loan options.Brokers Handle the Details!There are literally thousands of variables that can affect the outcome of your mortgage transaction.

Read MoreGetting older is unavoidable, but succumbing to the biological effects of aging is not. As we age, our muscle mass and strength begin to decline, and our metabolism slows down. Regular exercise for seniors not only combats the natural effects of aging, but it can also improve overall quality of life. In 2016, researchers from the National Institute of Health found that exercise for seniors could increase life expectancy by almost 10 years. The researchers also found that seniors age 70 to 89 who were at risk for becoming disabled were able to reduce that risk by exercising for 150 minutes a week, which is the recommended guideline for older adults.While 150 minutes of physical activity may seem daunting, there are simple ways seniors can incorporate exercise into their daily routines. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking further away from a destination, and walking or biking instead of driving are all simple ways to work up to 30 minutes of physical activity a day. Exercise for seniors should also include a variety of different movements, including activities that focus on balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance. Balance and flexibility exercises can help prevent falls and decrease the risk of injuries. Yoga and tai chi are low-impact exercise to improve balance and flexibility and help reduce stress and lower blood pressure.Strength exercises can reduce symptoms of arthritis, osteoporosis, and diabetes, as well as make daily activities like climbing stairs or bending down to lift something off the ground easier. The recommendation for older adults to engage in strength movements is twice a week.Endurance exercises help seniors maintain a healthy weight, heart, and immune system. Exercises that raise the heart rate and quicken breathing should make up the majority of exercise for seniors. Low-impact endurance exercises like swimming, biking, walking, and hiking are all good options for older adults. At Golden West Senior Living we provide residents with plenty of space and opportunities to get in some physical exercise every day from our walking trails to various fitness classes.
