Tips for Soothing Arthritis Pain

If you suffer from arthritis, there are a few steps that you can take to alleviate your discomfort. This video outlines the “heat and ice” method of relieving pain from arthritis and other injuries.

The first step is to apply ice to the area for around 15 minutes, two or three times in a day. The following day, apply warmth to the spot in the shower or with a heating pad. You can then begin alternating heat and ice in the same day. Consider using heat in the morning and ice in the evening for the best results.

Staying fit can be very beneficial for arthritis sufferers. If you or an elderly loved one wants to live an active retirement lifestyle, consider Chateau Cupertino. Our facility focuses on independent living for retirees who want to maintain their freedom.  For more information, call (408) 446-4300 today.

Top Tips for Independent Senior Living

While independent living allows seniors to remain in charge of their lives, there are a few important tips that can help seniors stay safe, comfortable, and secure. Check out the following tips that can help you if you are an independent senior or if you have an elderly loved one who is interested in independent living.

Living Independently as a Senior Citizen

Living independently is a great way to stay engaged, take an active role in your own life, and maintain your lifestyle. However, you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for assistance when you need it and explore options that can help you on a daily basis. Going out to pick up prescriptions can be a hassle, so look into getting your medications through the mail or from an online pharmacy. Look for a comfortable retirement community where you can remain independent while getting help with housework, meeting new friends, and having your meals prepared.

Helping a Senior Loved One Live Independently

Seniors who are living independently are typically capable of caring for themselves in most ways. However, there are steps you can take to help ensure your senior loved one’s safety. Be a back-up medical record for your senior loved one. Keep current information about medications, medical history, and doctors in one convenient location. You should also keep a list of professionals that play a key role in your loved one’s life. Include therapists, business colleagues, insurance agents, financial advisors, and lawyers.

Explain Internet, identity, physical safety precautions to your senior loved one. He or she may not understand the threats posed by identity theft, scams that target unsuspecting seniors, or changing issues of physical safety. You can also help your loved one be prepared for independent living by explaining the importance of establishing a will, power of attorney, and a living will.

Seniors who would like to maintain independence but have help on hand should consider independent living communities. For those who would like an active, fun lifestyle, Chateau Cupertino may be the perfect option. We provide senior apartments and houses near San Jose.
