As we age, our immune systems may become less effective at fighting infections. Some older adults face additional risks because of medical conditions or treatments that suppress or weaken the immune system, including cancer treatments, organ transplants and certain medications for autoimmune diseases. For these individuals, an infection that might be relatively mild for someone else can become more serious.

Fortunately, there are practical steps immunocompromised older adults and their caregivers can take to reduce exposure to illness while maintaining an active and fulfilling life. Read more: https://bit.ly/47ywauD

For older adults living with a chronic condition, behaviors such as agitation, anxiety, resistance, or withdrawal may be a form of communication influenced by environment, emotions, or unmet needs. We may not be able to change the behaviors but we can change how we understand and respond to them.

In our next Ask the Expert webinar on October 15, we will explore strategies for responding to behaviors with greater understanding, patience, and confidence. We will discuss how to develop activities that provide purpose, connection, and a sense of accomplishment. Register for this event: https://bit.ly/4rNt8fz

Helping a loved one move from a bed to a wheelchair, from a chair to standing or between other surfaces can become a regular part of caregiving. Transfers may seem straightforward, but they can also be physically demanding and stressful for both the caregiver and the person receiving assistance.

A safe transfer starts with recognizing that your loved one should be an active participant whenever possible. The right approach will depend on their strength, balance, mobility and ability to follow instructions. If you are unsure what type of assistance your loved one needs, ask a physical or occupational therapist to demonstrate the safest technique for their specific situation. Read more:
