"A WOMAN SOLDIER," Kingston Daily Standard. November 7, 1913. Page 10. --- Of Irish birth She Fought In Many Battles - Dressed as Man ---- Albert D. J. Cashier, an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Quincy, Illinois, was discovered upon being admitted to the hospital of that institution, to be a woman, and the remarkable fact was established that for over fifty years she had worn man's clothing and concealed her sex. More than that she fought through three of the hardest battles of the American Civil War and innumerable lesser fights.

Now she draws a pension, and with feeble mind and body is waiting for the last roll call.

Her life is a mystery. She was born in Ireland on Christmas day, 1844. She is said to have crossed the Atlantic in boy's clothes as a stowaway. Soon afterward she entered the United States army. Even her name is unknown. She called herself "Albert Cashler," but all attempts to trace her identity have failed. She enlisted Aug. 6, 1862 at Belvidere, Ill., in the 95th Infantry, and was discharged Aug. 17, 1865. She did farm for two or three years at Belvidere, then disappeared. The next 40 years are her own secret. She is thought to have worked in a factory some where. Finally she became an automobile chauffeur and worked in that capacity until a couple of years ago, when her declining health made it necessary that she be cared for in a public institution. Only then was her secret discovered.

Home Care: Making a Difference in your Elder's Aging Life

Matters involving parents’ aging condition are major concerns among siblings specifically when their elders live on their own away from them and visits become a struggle because of distance. If during a visit, a parent or both of them exhibit signs of difficulties attending to their daily needs or managing even simple household routines, it is probably the right time to think of their living situation. It should also trigger you to gather the whole family and plan for the appropriate care for your elders.

Because the aging population is growing at a fast rate, elder care services are also sprouting in every corner, making it easier for you to find one just perfect for your parents’ needs. Sending them away from home to senior facilities would somehow be a viable choice especially if it would be impractical and out of the question for you and your siblings to accommodate your parents in your own home. But the thing is, most old people disapprove of living outside the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, and as much as possible, they want to preserve their independence and dignity as they age.

If this kind of situation arises, you and the rest of your family can make your parents’ aging life an uncomplicated one by discussing with them the changes that would inevitably take place. You can always opt for home care, a senior care service that provides the necessary assistance for your loved ones within the convenience of their own home.

Providing loved ones with home care

Even if you commit yourself to taking care of your elders, you’ll find it really taxing and the need for assistance is welcome especially when you must run your own errand or you need to attend to important matters. Home care provided by professional caregivers could alleviate some of your burdens, particularly with daily living tasks of bathing, grooming, eating, toileting, and even shopping. If you live far from your parents, home care gives you peace of mind that your parents have a companion and that somebody is taking care of them and attending to their needs. For as long as your parents do not experience serious health problems that require nursing homes, home care is the best option for their living accommodation.

Providing a safe and elder-friendly home

Once, the family has decided to give the elder a home care, the next thing you should consider is making the house more livable and less prone to accidents if not totally free from them. This means redesigning your parent’s house to create a living space perfect for their aging at home. Floors should be maintained with skid-free wax and if you must have rugs, make sure that they are secured with tacks. Their bathroom and toilet must have enough space to move about taking into consideration that they might need a wheelchair in the future. Mount grab bars in their bathroom, kitchen or in any place you deem necessary. Remove clutters especially in hallways that would possibly make your elders stumble. Install security and communication gadgets so your loved ones can easily get help when needed.

Aging of elders at home need not be complicated and worrisome as long as you give it a great deal of thoughts and serious planning. A home care with a professional caregiver and a living space designed to fit their needs are just about the essentials for your parents to endure and enjoy their twilight years.
