Care of a Caregiver
2009-06-21 01:57:00 It is so lovely if you will get the care from your love ones specially in the later stage of your life. But sometimes, this is not possible because of a lot of reasons that this blog's words are not enough to enumerate every single valid reasons. That's why caregivers [1] came to being. They are dedicated people who are willing to serve other people and fill-up those "spaces" left by those people who are near with them. Being a caregiver, it is more than a nursing training before a person can be qualified to be one. It involves perseverance, patience and a real care.That's why these people should become one of our modern heroes of today. Their noble deeds to our seniors really mean something. Now if you want a professional in-home care [2] for you (for US areas), hire from Professional Health Care Services, Inc. (PHCSI). You can visit their website at http://www.phcsicare.com for more information about their services. [1] http://www.phcsicare.com [2] http://www.phcsicare.com/tes...-
PinoyBlogoSphere.com - Movie: Caregiver
2008-06-10 15:43:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - One of the touching films I’ve seen in the big screen. The story was about a teacher who gave up her career to work as a caregiver in U.K. She wanted to follow her husband and later on petition her son to be with them. Unfortunately, she found out that her husband was not working as a nurse but a health aid, similar to janitor. Her husband soon felt ashamed of himself and started drinking and skipping his duty. In the end, he wanted to go back and was forcing Sarah to go back to the Philippines. But Sarah, due to her adventure with a rich old man, William Morgan, learned about her own values and decided to stay there. The scene with William Morgan was touching. At first, the old grumpy man was shouting at her but when she spoke back the old man realized his mistake and became mellow. They became good friends until the old man died. This movie showed that being true to your duty and learning to be more human could lead to friendship, w...

Alarming Social Trend - It Can Happen to Anyone!
2008-06-02 06:01:00 By ANDREA VanVALKENBURG Staff WriterNot long ago, a Plattsburgh woman forced her dementia-impaired housemate to kneel on hot tarmac; a Utica man just last week was sentenced for letting his mother starve to death covered in her own excrement -- those are just two cases in an alarming social trend.Across the nation and even in the North Country, the elderly are more often falling prey to those they love and trust the most.In the last decade, there's been a drastic increase in the number of abuse and neglect cases involving the elderly and many more go unreported each year.It can involve neglect, emotional trauma, physical abuse or financial exploitation and typically happens to people in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s."Elder abuse and mistreatment is an equal-opportunity social issue. It can happen to anyone," said Art Mason, of Lifespan of Greater Rochester, during a recent elder-abuse training seminar.

A former caregiver was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly stripped one of his patients naked and hosed him off outside in front of children after the patient had defecated on himself. Carl Anthony Maycock, 52, Fort Walton Beach, was arrested Wednesday morning on one third degree felony count of abusing a disabled person.

Over the years, a shift in law enforcement priorities, as well as an increase in general awareness, has made most officers familiar with the concepts of spousal abuse and child abuse. Still, the term elder abuse raises questions among even the most seasoned law enforcement officers. From physical, emotional, or sexual abuse to financial exploitation, approximately 818,000 elderly individuals are victimized annually.Furthermore, experts estimate that only 1 in 10 cases of elder abuse gets reported.(1) Many elderly citizens must contend with a variety of health problems that limit their physical or mental functioning. Some become bedridden and cut off from normal contact with the rest of the world. At the same time, mental limitations leave many older citizens highly vulnerable to various forms of abuse.In Tennesse...

Guardian Attorney Saves Home From Foreclosure
2008-01-26 13:00:00 by Maria M. Gallo, Esquire I was contacted by a local attorney who asked me to take over guardianship of a little old lady (and I use that term affectionately) as she was ornery and had run off all her other family. I contacted her family to advise them of my appointment as successor guardian. Many hung up on me and at least two relatives cursed me out.I located Mrs. J. in a nursing home. The hallways were long, there were nurses and other staff running about, patients wandering in and out of her room, wheelchairs zipping down the hallways, and medical equipment clanking on the tiled hallways as they hit the floor. The place was LOUD.....Not only that, but during one of my visits, the smoke detector went off and we were both literally locked in her room when the magnetic lock failed to release. We waited over an hour for staff to realize we were stuck and to extricate us from the room.She wanted to go home. I made arrangements to see her home. I found the home in gross need of repai...

Adult Protective Services Investigator Protects Woman's Legacy
2008-01-25 18:00:00 by Maria M Gallo ,Esquire.I also know of at least one Adult Protective Services investigator/social worker in this circuit who was called into a case via the abuse hotline.She arrived at the hsopital to find the elderly victim in severe medical distress, having suffered some period of time, from severe medical neglect. The Adult Protective Services investigator correctly identified a VERY EXPENSIVE ring ($80,000) on the lady's finger and properly turned it over the lady's court-appointed attorney for inclusion in the lady's inventory.This ring could easily have disappeared and it might have been checked off as being lost by the hospital or lost at the lady's home or a host of other possibilities. Instead this very expensive ring was able to be included among this lady's assets and legacy.There are some good investigators and social workers. Let's give credit where credit is due.

Filipino caregivers being forced out of UK
2007-12-14 19:01:00 A growing number of Filipino caregivers are being forced out of the United Kingdom because of a new law that mandates higher salaries for care providers, BBC news reports.A new rule issued by the UK's Home Office says that employers must pay their staff a minimum of £7.02 an hour for the staff to qualify for work permit renewal. Many home care services in the UK were commissioned by local authorities which have limited budget and cannot pay the required minimum.**Supplement on visiting UK**Despite the high cost of living, many Filipinos have flocked to the UK, working not just in the medical field such as nurses or caregivers but also in the hospitality sector.Many Filipinos also go to the UK either to study or to relax.

Being 90 and suffering from mild dementia seems to bring the poetry back, makes it important to her. She told me “I listened to and then memorized just about everything my family said. Much to their chagrin. When I was around four years old, my sister Helen was practicing for a part in a play. She left her playbook at school and was in a frenzy to remember her lines. Apparently my mother told her to put little Ruthie in the bathtub with all of the bath toys. Then she should close the door and wait. Sure enough, as Helen stood outside the door, I repeated word-for-word almost all of her lines as I staged my own play with my waterbabies.” I can hear her voice as it faintly echoes up the stairs from her room. She often repeats childhood rhymes to the cat, Thisbe who is a very avid listener. Here’s the one I just heard (I admit, I had to get Val to transcribe it for m...

Ashburn?s Caregiver Background Checks Bill Advances
2007-05-04 13:30:00 SACRAMENTO ? Senator Roy Ashburn (R- Bakersfield) announced yesterday that Senate Bill 692 to expand caregiver background checks passed its first hurdle in the Senate Public Safety Committee on a vote of 4-0.Under current California law, participants in the In-Home Social Services (IHSS) caregiver program for low income patients must be cleared through a Department of Justice background check. Unfortunately those caught in the middle, people who don?t qualify for IHSS, but cannot afford to use a private agency, lack the legal authorization to request a background check on a potential in-home caregiver. SB 692 grants them this authority to protect themselves or their loved ones and obtain a background check on an unlicensed in-home caregiver.?While the vast majority of in-home caregivers operate in a lawful and ethical manner, we need to make sure that dangerous individuals aren?t given a chance to abuse or neglect the most vulnerable among us,? said Senator Ashburn. ?This bill will ...
