How to help your loved ones with Alzheimer’s when they refuse to eat
People with dementia still need nourishment. Here are tips to help them get it.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Defining it and its causes, however, is complicated. Researchers in Toronto at the University Health Network’s Krembil Brain Institute, for instance, suggest that Alzheimer’s is not primarily a brain disorder, but instead more of an autoimmune disease. Other theories exist, as well.
However, we can all agree that Alzheimer’s negatively affects cognitive acti...

By RAY BUROW
The price of natural gas continues to rise in the United States and around the world. Unfortunately, the cost isn’t forecast to come down any time soon.

Creating a Last Will and Testament to Care for a Loved One
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but if you hadn’t already gathered from the evening news, we live in a dangerous and wicked world. While it may take a village to raise our kids, and for our purposes, to care for those with dementia, how do we know which village or community of individuals to trust?
Can you trust your neighbors? Can you trust the people in the facility where your loved one with Alzheimer’s has been placed? If you fall ill or worse, what would happen to them? Who would...
Tips for choosing a care facility for a loved one with Alzheimer’s
Conducting research, asking the right questions, and visiting facilities are key
Caregivers, by definition, provide care, and part of that involves protecting patients or loved ones from physical harm and emotional stress.
Troubling news crossed my desk this week in the form of a story out of Brevard County, Florida. Sadly, an elderly woman with dementia and living in a care facility was allegedly verbally abused and taunted by workers assigned to her care. The workers livestreamed the allege...

What businesses need to know when comparing LED and high-pressure sodium lights
Think back to mixing primary-color paint in grade school. Remember how mixing in yellow changes white, blue and red? Lighting is no exception. A problem too often overlooked is how the yellow-tinted light of high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures, which are typically found lighting streets and some parking lots, impacts your perception of the colors around you.
There are public safety benefits when true colors are visible. Imagine a crime has occurred and the police need a description of the car...
When Are Fillings Needed?
Tooth decay creates cavities or holes in tooth enamel. To stop the decay, the hole in the enamel must be filled. The filling also builds a barrier to prevent the nerves in the gums at the base of the tooth from being affected. If the nerve is exposed due to too much tooth decay, it can require a dentist to remove the tooth completely or take more drastic treatment measures than to simply do a filling. If you have tooth decay, the best thing to do is get a tooth filling as soon as possible.

Black History Month and ongoing disparities in Alzheimer’s care
Ending stigma and securing better access to diagnoses are top priorities
President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976 to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans in the United States, though the observance had been developing for decades and in fact continues to develop. The month is a perfect time to discuss how Alzheimer’s disease affects the African American community.

Advances in outdoor lighting for businesses offer sea turtles and pedestrians protection
Light pollution is an area of concern to conservationists because natural light is a critical component of the survival of Florida’s protected sea turtles. Emerging from the ocean to lay eggs, the turtles are easily thrown off course by artificial light interference from residential and commercial properties along Florida’s coastal communities.
Most municipalities and local governments in the state of Florida have enacted lighting ordinances, to which these communities near the beach must adh...

This Transdermal Patch May Benefit Both Alzheimer’s Patients and Caregivers
Dispensing medications is one of the most critical tasks when caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. In 2019, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that 89% of U.S. adults ages 65 and older take prescription medication. Most people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease are part of the same demographic and often take multiple medications to manage both dementia and other health conditions.
Such was the case for my mother. Years before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, diabetes medicat...
What happens if appliances break at a rental unit or house you rent out?
Savvy landlords are forward thinkers, which is how they’ve landed an apartment complex or single-family dwelling as an investment property. Landlords run the numbers, estimating expenses to learn if purchasing property and renting it out is a good idea. Once they pull the trigger to own and operate, the hard work begins.
A landlord anticipates what could go wrong and prepares for the worse to head it off before it happens.
Perceptive landlords might purchase a home warranty plan for protectio...
