Arizona is home to many retirees, and the number of older adults living here is growing every day. With this population boom comes an increased need for high-quality, affordable care services that meet their individual needs. Smaller residential facilities such as assisted living communities are a great way for seniors to receive personal assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a home-like setting. Assisted living communities provide a safe, secure environment for seniors and peace of mind for families. Residents can maintain a sense of independence while receiving help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, meal preparation, housekeeping, and transport. These services also include 24-hour medical monitoring and emergency response in case of any health changes or decline. Residents of assisted living communities enjoy personal amenities such as private rooms and bathrooms, along with communal spaces like lounges, gardens and outdoor patios to socialize with others. These smaller residential settings offer senior residents opportunities to remain active through engaging activities like physical fitness classes, arts and crafts programs, music sessions, cooking classes and more. These smaller residential facilities bridge the gap between independent living in one's own home and moving into a nursing home or long-term care facility. For aging adults in Arizona with changing physical or mental abilities, these facilities give them access to compassionate care and supportive services that can improve their quality of life. We are committed to providing innovative solutions in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. Our Summer Special Issue is centered around the theme of "Healthy Aging in Arizona: Opportunities for the Senior Healthcare System." https://rb.gy/bt6il This Special Issue and Blog series provide valuable insights and actionable strategies for healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, estate planning attorneys, and anyone involved in senior care. https://rb.gy/kr3s0

Why is home-based the better choice for my loved ones? While assisted living can provide social opportunities and a supportive community, home-based care, such as that offered by Care@Home, offers personalised attention, familiarity, independence, and the ability to stay in an environment where they are surrounded by their own possessions and memories. It allows your loved ones to receive the necessary specialised care that they might need while still maintaining their desired lifestyle and, importantly, staying connected to their loved ones and community. In a home-based care setting, you can be sure that your loved ones receive constant individual attention and that their care plan can be adapted easily as and when needed. It also ensures that your loved ones do not lose autonomy over their lives, as they can make their own decisions and maintain a greater degree of independence.

"Health care for the homeless population is a complex challenge and represents a significant gap in care, particularly for those at the end of life. Hospice care may be desired but is rarely an option for people without residences, social support, and payment sources." Love this article just published in the Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing by Francine Jensen, a Utah Valley University professor who also works closely to further the work of The INN Between, on this history of The INN Between and its #hospice4homeless program.

I was fortunate to facilitate a dialogue with Traditional Health Practitioners, the elderly and persons living with disabilities. Our aim was to understand the personal experiences of these persons in relation to the health, social and economic impacts of sinkholes. Here are some interesting things that were shared: 1. Building medical centres or clinics specifically offering traditional healthcare 2. Having medical aid pay for consultations with traditional health practitioners 3. Displacement of elderly persons has disrupted the family unit. Families cannot ensure the safety of family members 4. Limited access to healthcare as healthcare facilities and roads have falled through the ground 5. The provision of durable medical equipment (such a wheelchairs) as they break easily when used outside. You’d be surprised by the number of people who use wheelchairs as a mode of transportation to travel long distance. 5. No economic activity causing an increased community dependence on government assistance, increased illiteracy, increased burden of disease and an increase in poverty. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Even in the early stage discussions of increasing user pay in aged care, the national conversation appears to be already having an impact. Despite not being our target audience at all, Community Home Australia is already receiving enquiries for full fee for service admissions (our first user pay guest will be moving in soon) and we have had 5 new private pay members join our programs in the last 3 days. While the sector is heartily applauding the introduction of more user pay to fill the coffers, are they actually inadvertently starting the great movement away from institutional care? There is not a nursing home in the country that can match us for staffing ratios, educational standards, community connectedness, meaningful engagement or person centred care. Clearly people don't mind paying, but expect something more than mediocrity and institutionalisation.
