Trusted Family Home Care

Personal funds: Most seniors use their income and retirement savings to pay for independent living. In fact, many seniors choose to downsize from their longtime homes and use the proceeds from this sale to buy or rent an apartment or town home in an independent living community. Other sources of funds include distributions from retirement accounts, income generated by investments, such as interest and dividends, and liquidated assets. Social Security benefits and pensions: El...ders receiving Social Security retirement benefits and other types of pensions can use this income to help cover independent living expenses. Annuity payments: An annuity is a type of insurance that is often used as part of a retirement-funding strategy. An initial investment in an annuity entitles the investor to some form of future payment, which can be scheduled on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis, or delivered as a lump sum. The amount of money an individual receives from an annuity depends on the amount of their initial investment and whether the future payout amount is guaranteed (a fixed annuity) or is dependent on the performance of the annuity’s core investments (a variable annuity). Housing assistance: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers several different programs aimed at helping low-income seniors find safe and affordable living arrangements. Assistance may come in the form of public housing, rental assistance or vouchers. The HUD website offers additional information on housing assistance programs for the elderly and disabled. Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Seniors (aged 65 and older) and individuals who are blind or disabled who have limited income and assets may be able to receive SSI benefits to help cover the costs of basic needs like food, clothing and shelter. SSI benefit amounts are based on an applicant’s income, living arrangements and other factors. SSI payments can be used to help cover the costs of independent living. For more information on SSI specifics, see the Understanding SSI page of the Social Security Administration website. #hospice #caregiver #elderly #seniorcare #homecare See more

Tightrope Walk: Just like a tightrope walker in a circus, this exercise involves holding your arms straight out from your sides, parallel to the floor. With your arms out, walk in a straight line, pausing for one or two seconds each time you lift your back leg off the ground. Take between 15 and 20 steps this way. While walking, keep your head straight and look at a fixed spot in front of you to help maintain balance. Rock the Boat: For this exercise, begin by placing your fe...et hip-width apart. Make sure that each foot feels like it’s pressing into the ground with the same amount of force. This will ensure that your weight is evenly distributed across both legs. With your shoulders back and head level, slowly transfer your weight to one side, lifting the opposite foot off the ground a few inches. Hold your leg up for as long as you can, but no longer than 30 seconds. Then, slowly transfer your weight back onto both feet and repeat the process on the opposite side. Aim to repeat this process five times on each side initially and work up to more repetitions as your balance and strength improve. Heel-Toe Walk: This exercise involves placing one foot directly in front of the other so that the heel of your front foot and the toes of your back foot are touching with each step. Depending on your level of flexibility, you may not be able to get your heels and toes to completely touch, but that’s fine. Just try to get them as close as you can without any discomfort. Take between 15 and 20 steps this way. As with the tightrope walk, keeping your eyes fixed on a point in front of you will help you remain stable. Flamingo Stand: This one is pretty simple. Stand on one leg with the other leg extended out in front of you a few inches from the ground while holding onto the back of a chair for stability. Start off standing on one leg for ten seconds, and then repeat on the other leg. Aim to repeat this on each leg five to ten times. You and your loved one may find that it’s less taxing to stand on one leg than the other, but this is normal. Just continue exercising both sides equally to help build strength and confidence on the weaker side. #caregiver See more
