Coping with a Loved One with Hearing Loss

Did you know? 💭 According to Center for Hearing and Communication, hearing loss affects 48 million people in the United States. 👂

Gradual hearing loss is a common part of aging and can often be accompanied by negative psychological, emotional, and social effects. While it can be frustrating to communicate with a loved one who has hearing loss, it’s even more frustrating for them. It’s important to show your support by being patient, sympathetic, and understanding as well as make a conscious effort to enunciate and speak at a normal speed.

Living with Arthritis

Did you know? 🤔 According to Arthritis Foundation the myth that aching joints are a sign of cold weather might hold some truth. Studies have shown that cold weather can impact both inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritis. ❄️

Those living with joint pain can be affected in every season, and seniors are especially prone to developing arthritis. It’s helpful to discuss signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and strategies to help you or your loved one continue the activities that bring them purpose and joy.
