Depression in older adults:

Depression is a mental illness. It is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with daily life for weeks or longer.

Depression in older adults is a pervasive problem, and it is not a normal part of aging. Often, it goes unrecognized and untreated.

Causes:
In older adults, life changes can increase the risk of depression or make existing depression worse. Some of these changes are:

-Moving from home, such as to a senior center.
-Pain or chronic condition.
-Children leaving home.
-Spouse and close friends who die.
-Loss of independence (for example, problems caring for oneself or getting around, or loss of driving privileges).
-Depression can also be related to a physical condition, such as:

-Thyroid disorders
-Parkinson disease
-Heart disease
-Cancer
-Stroke
-Dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease)
-Excessive consumption of alcohol or certain medications (such as sleeping pills) can worsen depression.

When is it time to seek professional help?
Grief can affect people in a lot of different ways physically, emotionally, spiritually as well as in the ways they behave or think. While it is normal to be “out of sorts” when grieving, certain manifestations of grief should be evaluated and treated by professionals.

Here are examples of some “yellow lights” that might be cautionary signals:

-1 Intense physical reactions.
-2 Grief that is disabling.
-3 Extreme anxiety or sadness.
-4 An intense inability to speak of the person who died or an extreme unwillingness to make any changes in the deceased's room.
-5 Destructive behaviors.
-6 Self-destructive behaviors.

How to find a groups.

Most hospices offer grief support groups that are open to the public including those who didn’t use their hospice services. Funeral homes, hospitals, and places of worship will also have grief support resources and may be able to help you locate a support group. There are also national grief support organizations with local chapters that host support groups.

Support Groups:

Many grieving people wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group. Support groups are a time-tested method of help for people struggling with all sorts of difficulties. But groups are not magic; there are no words that can be uttered within a group setting that can make grief disappear. Many people report comfort in the companionship of group support and benefit from knowing they are not alone in their experience of grief.

What Are The Four Levels of Hospice Care?

Hospice is comfort care brought to every patient, whether in a private home, a nursing home, assisted living community, residential care facility for the elderly, or hospice house.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has defined four kinds, or “levels,” of hospice care. One patient may experience all four levels, perhaps in just a week or ten days of hospice services. Another patient may experience one level of care over several months of his or her hospice care. Each level of care meets specific needs, and every hospice patient is unique.

Every Medicare-certified hospice provider must provide these four levels of care:

VITAS supports patients and families who choose hospice care at home, wherever home is. Routine visits from a home hospice care team ensure comfort and dignity. Diagnosis-specific equipment, supplies, and medication are provided at no cost.

Why a Lotus in hand?

The lotus flower is looked at as pure because of the growth through the nutrient rich mucky water they are found in. The lotus finds its way through this water and without stains as it rises through the mud. Petal by petal, each one emerges pristine from the mucky water thanks to a protective outer coating that repels dirt and water. These day-blooming plants submerge and close up at night, and reawaken above the water every morning. The petals last for just a handful of days before shedding. A Touch of Hope is continuously leading families and patients to the strength and life cycle as the spirits of your loved ones transcend. A guide if you will, from the underworld to the light the hands instruct, support and solicit attention to the end of life.
