7 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL AGING
8 Hang your cell phone on a pretty necklace or manly badge holder - make it fun or like a piece of jewelry - and keep yourself safe!
9 Consider using a life alert necklace when you get less stable on your feet. You can use this temporarily after a surgery, or long-term. Greatcall.com or Life Alert:
10 GET CALLER ID & A PHONE WITH BIG NUMBERS, A LOUD RING, RINGER LIGHT & PICTURE BUTTONS FOR PREPROGRAMMED NUMBERS/PEOPLE
11 JITTERBUG5 CELL PHONE WITH ONE-TOUCH ACCESS FOR HELP or greatcall.com
12 PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES Dialing 911, using a one touch emergency device is fastest & easiest.
13 Get a lift chair to make it easier to get in/out of at least one chair. SAFELY.
14 GREAT APPS FOR SENIORS (OR ANYONE!) Find my ipad use phone or computer Skype - face to face video conferencing Luminosity brain games TED Talks - lectures WebMD all things medical Magnifying Glass - for ipads Dragon Dictation dictation app
15 Get a photo frame that says friends, sisters or family to remind you who s in the picture. REMEMBER FAMILY PETS!
16 SIMPLER REMOTES, CLOCKS, APPLIANCES, TOO
17 DOES YOUR CHURCH OR SYNAGOGUE OFFER FREE RIDES TO SERVICES?
18 GET GOING: Get the wills, living wills, POA s in place NOW!
19 PUT A SIGN ON THE DOOR TO ALERT FAMILY, FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS IF IT S NOT A GOOD TIME TO VISIT
20 MAKE SURE THE SNOW PLOWER CLEANS THE WALKS & STEPS AS WELL AS THE DRIVEWAY
21 The size of feet & ankles fluctuates with swelling, & shoe sizes will too! Try to find shoes that don t tie but slip on or are secured with Velcro. Buy only flats; no high-heels - no matter how much you love them!
22 COMPARE NURSING HOMES Nursing Home Dementia Wing? Proximity to Family Members Cost Notes/Questions Nursing Home A No Bad for kids, no highway for Mom $2,900/mo Smelled really bad, dirty. Nursing Home B No Good for Suz, bad for Mom $5,600/mo Great view for Dad s bird feeders. Dad can garden. Nursing Home C Yes 10 mins from Mom, no left turns $11,000/mo Dad can smoke, pool for kids, in-house massage available. Nursing Home D No Good for Eric, bad for Mom $8,300/mo Daily snack cart comes to each room, very pretty facility, nice rooms.
23 TECHIE TOOL: Wireless home monitoring Sensor-based systems can alert a family caregiver of an emergency or when something unusual has happened.
24 AN ATTORNEY & FINANCIAL PLANNER CAN HELP YOU PLAN FOR MEDICARE/MEDICAID & PROTECT YOUR ASSETS BUT THEY NEED TO BE BROUGHT IN EARLY.
25 3 COMMON CAUSES OF CONFUSION 1. Urinary tract infection 2. Dehydration 3. Anesthesia
26 DECIDE TOGETHER & AHEAD OF TIME WHEN IT S TIME TO GET RID OF THE CAR.
27 and avoid getting your mugshot taken.
28 SUGGEST TO YOUR ADULT CHILDREN THAT THEY CALL REGULARLY IF THEY CAN T VISIT.
29 PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES Make sure you know where the important phone numbers are & how to use the emergency features of your cell phones.
30 INVENTORY THE HOUSE WITH PICTURES Location Description Beneficiary Notes/Questions Dining Room China cabinet Eric Dining Room Buffet (matches dining table) Eric Dining Room Wine decanter Suz Dining Room Trunk Bill Was Great Aunt Florence Macomber's
31 DO A SAFETY AUDIT OF YOUR HOME Are the door and window locks all working? Are the doors well lit? Is there a phone and a flashlight near the bed? Are any of the outlets overloaded or in need of an extension cord? Are there railings on all of the stairs? Are there safety bars and/or a seat in the shower? Do you need a lift for the toilet? Do you keep a CURRENT list of your medications in a visible location? Who has copies?
