Managing Digestive Disorders

My name is Lilith Maclin and if you suffer from a digestive disorder, you can find a wealth of information about this type of medical condition in my blog. Three years ago, my husband was having severe stomach cramps and his doctor told him that he had a digestive disorder called ulcerative colitis. After my husband was diagnosed, I did thorough research to learn how to control and manage this disorder. We kept track of everything that my husband ate and when a certain food caused a flare-up of his condition, he eliminated that food from his diet. By learning all we could about this digestive disorder, my husband has been able to live pain free. If you want more information about this disorder and how to manage it, you can find it here by reading my blog.

What Assisted Living Will Do For Your Aging Loved One

Louella Davidson

You have an elderly or disabled loved one that you care and worry about. You are accustomed to taking care of or checking in on your family member or friend, but you feel they need more than just your assistance to be happy and healthy.

An assisted living facility can provide the care and comfort your aging and disabled loved one needs. If you feel guilty about putting someone in a nursing home or assisted living community, don't. There are many positive things your loved one will appreciate as they transition into their new life. Here are things assisted living will do for your loved one.

Your loved one will gain independence

While it may seem that your loved one will lose independence when they move out of their home and into a more controlled, assisted living environment, the opposite is actually often true. In reality, the person you care for will be able to enjoy more of their own life because if they need help with anything, assistance is just a few moments away rather than at a time frame that other family members and friends can fulfill.

Your loved one will have access to many — if not all — of the same things they enjoy at their current residence, only they will also have access to premium medical care and other needs to keep them happy and safe.

Your loved one will gain friends

A common issue with people who are disabled or elderly is this: loneliness. Unless a person has a live-in caregiver, which is something you can also consider for the person in question, there are many times where the individual is left all alone and unable to meet with friends or do things outside the home.

When a person goes into assisted living, they gain access to other people who are also in assisted care and have the ability to partake in group activities, games, and community lunch rooms. You can visit your loved one often as well, which will help them feel even better about moving into a home.

Your loved one will be healthier

If your elderly or disabled loved one has health issues, they will be healthier in an environment where they have access to nurses, doctors, and health aides at all times. This will allow them to have a healthier mental and physical outlook on life, which will make everyone involved in their life happier.
