#elderly living aids

[july-19th-club]

tanaaj is such a tragic character "i do everything right nobody has ever been as good or correct about the rule of saint leah as i am. unrelated but why do i feel so bad and guilty and lonely all the time?" well for starters you live in fully automated luxury catholicism so that's gonna contribute to the issue for sure

[zenythycal]

Btw folks if you’re like me and have asthma or a leg injury/problem and you’re like

“Oh I don’t need a mobility aid! I can walk around just fine!”

Or

“I don’t need it that badly! Someone else might need it more!”

Believe me when I say. You are lying to yourself. You are creating excuses!!

I can walk around “fine” yes but I never noticed how much pain it causes me or how often I actually get short of breath until I got my cane.

My asthma’s been HORRIBLE due to the hot weather and shit and my new cane has been a legit lifesaver! And being able to take weight off my bad leg? Amazing. Highly recommend one if you suffer from similar problems!

Remember; we shouldn’t be in pain all the time. Even if it’s not that serious. Even if you can manage. We should always strive to make life easier and comfortable for ourselves! And sometimes that means using tools to help! Even if you don’t need them all the time! You should still have them! Because you WILL need them and you’ll kick yourself for not having them!

I mean look at us asthmatics! We have inhalers, we don’t need them all the time! But we still have them!

Supporting Our Elders: Charities Easing Financial Burdens for Seniors

Introduction

Life can be tough, especially for our seniors who are like the seasoned threads holding our society together. With healthcare costs going up and pensions not always cutting, a lot of them are struggling to make ends meet. Luckily, there are these awesome charities for seniors that have stepped up to help. They're like a friendly hand reaching out to make things a bit easier for our elders. So, let's check out some of these charities that are all about giving financial support to seniors, and helping them get through life with dignity and grace.

The Rising Financial Challenges for Seniors

Before delving into the charities making a difference, it's crucial to understand the landscape of financial challenges faced by seniors today. As medical expenses soar and the cost of living continues to rise, a significant number of older adults find themselves struggling to make ends meet. Fixed incomes, often derived from pensions or Social Security, may not be sufficient to cover the burgeoning expenses of healthcare, housing, and daily living.

Meals on Wheels: Nourishing the Body and Soul

Meals on Wheels is a renowned charity that operates across the United States, dedicated to addressing the nutritional needs of seniors who face financial difficulties. The organization delivers nutritious meals to the doorsteps of older adults, ensuring they receive the sustenance necessary for a healthy life. This not only addresses the physical well-being of seniors but also provides them with a sense of connection and community.

The National Council on Aging: Empowering Seniors Financially

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is committed to empowering seniors through a variety of financial assistance programs. From benefits enrollment assistance to initiatives aimed at reducing healthcare costs, NCOA works tirelessly to improve the economic well-being of older adults. By connecting seniors with available resources and advocating for policies that support their financial security, NCOA plays a crucial role in ensuring seniors can enjoy their later years with peace of mind.

AARP Foundation: Creating Opportunities for Seniors

The AARP Foundation, an arm of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), focuses on creating opportunities and solving the challenges faced by seniors in various aspects of their lives. Through initiatives like the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), the foundation helps older adults find employment opportunities that align with their skills and interests. By fostering financial independence through employment, AARP Foundation contributes significantly to enhancing the quality of life for seniors.

Benevolent Societies and Local Community Charities

In addition to nationally recognized organizations, local benevolent societies and community charities often play a vital role in supporting seniors facing financial difficulties. These organizations may provide direct financial assistance, cover essential expenses, or organize community events to foster a sense of belonging. Their localized approach allows them to tailor their assistance to the specific needs of seniors in their communities, ensuring a more personal and impactful connection.

Senior Affordable Housing Programs

Housing is a significant concern for many seniors, especially those on fixed incomes. Charities that focus on affordable housing for seniors contribute immensely to addressing this critical need. By partnering with developers, community organizations, and government agencies, these charities work towards creating affordable housing options that allow seniors to maintain their independence and live in safe, comfortable environments.

Financial Education Initiatives for Seniors

Charities dedicated to providing financial education to seniors are instrumental in equipping older adults with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their finances effectively. Workshops, seminars, and one-on-one counseling sessions offered by these organizations empower seniors to make informed decisions about budgeting, investments, and retirement planning. By enhancing financial literacy, these charities contribute to the long-term financial well-being of seniors.

Connecting Through Technology: Cyber-Seniors Programs

As technology becomes increasingly integral to daily life, charities that focus on connecting seniors with the digital world play a crucial role. Cyber-Seniors programs teach older adults how to use smartphones, computers, and the internet, opening new avenues for communication, entertainment, and even employment. By bridging the digital divide, these charities empower seniors to access online resources that can alleviate financial burdens and improve their overall quality of life.

The Importance of Volunteering: RSVP and Senior Corps

Charities like the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and the Senior Corps recognize the wealth of experience and knowledge that seniors bring to their communities. These organizations facilitate volunteer opportunities for older adults, allowing them to give back to society while staying active and engaged. Through volunteer work, seniors not only contribute to the well-being of others but also find a renewed sense of purpose, which can positively impact their mental and emotional health.

Navigating the Application Process: Benefits Outreach Programs

Many seniors are eligible for various government assistance programs and benefits, but navigating the application process can be daunting. Charities specializing in benefits outreach help seniors understand their entitlements and assist them in completing the necessary paperwork. By simplifying complex processes and ensuring that seniors receive the financial support they are entitled to, these charities make a significant difference in the lives of older adults.

Conclusion

There are these cool charities that are all about helping older folks dealing with money problems, and they add some crucial elements to this whole song we're jamming to, making our society more caring and in sync.

We should take a moment to give a shoutout to our older peeps for all the cool stuff they've done and been through. It's on us to make sure they get the backup they need to deal with all the money stuff that comes with getting older. Supporting these charities and what they're about isn't just good for our seniors; it's like adding some extra strength to the whole human connection thing we've got going on.

[actual-corpse]

I'm not afraid of becoming disabled for vanity reasons.

I'm afraid because this world isn't built for disabled people.

I'll be confined to my home because of the lack of public transit. Or I'll be stuck having to trust people to go out of their way to assist me.

Airplanes will destroy my expensive equipment.

I might not be able to use public restrooms.

There's nothing wrong with disability itself...

It's the world around us. It's so hostile.

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.

African culture is so much like archaic Medieval culture. Child brides, arranged marriages, religion, taboos, witchcraft... I honestly had no choice but to feel for the Greens a lot. 😔

[ilona-mushroom]

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

[bleuberrygliscor]

Let me introduce yall to NSBE:

I attended a HBCU, I saw posters and magazines for them everywhere. I was awestruck, Determined to join and work with them, but just to better myself and get more opportunities for me, but because they VOCALLY state that they want to increase STEM opportunities for children too.

But somethings just not right... the posters and the people passing them out, they were military. There were photos of Naval engineers. Of Army I.T professionals. Of people working for places that I knew were not good news, places like Lockheed that sponsored my high-school Robotics team. Places I was told we couldn't refuse, they simply paid the best AND donated two chaperones to help with the mechanical side of things.

If you go into a field that can be weaponized, you will be. Your love will be turned into a monster, and you must pray that what good you intended will outlive the harm.

It never does. But it makes the job easier.

Funds for Haiti and Haitian Americans

A Haitian American woman with long Covid and her daughter with cancer have both been struggling to raise funds that would help them during their illnesses. Both of them live in the Midwest, which is where a lot of the most recent fear mongering has been centered.

COJEHA is a Haitian organization that provides financial support for youth, teaches agricultural skills, helps ensure children attend school, and teaches other soft life skills. They're working on building a farm with fish and vegetable crops where teaching occurs, which will also increase local access to fresh food.

P4H Global is the organization that has been working on building the canal connected to the Massacre River, another agricultural project. They have also been working to support education in Haiti, with both teachers and students.

The Haitian Community Center in Springfield, Ohio. Springfield's food bank, community health center, and a local Catholic organization that provides aid are also accepting donations.

Richard Pierrin is a journalist who has had to flee Haiti and is trying to get a visa that will allow him to work, and that doesn't end after 3 months.

Marc Henry and his family have been dealing with food insecurity for months, and are trying to get funds so they can eat, as well as supplies like livestock and fishing equipment so they can sustain themselves even after the fundraiser is done. They're close to their goal.

An elderly couple's home was damaged multiple times over the last few years and they are trying to raise funds to finish construction. They are also very close to their goal.

A fundraiser for children in Jacmel to provide food, water, and clothes.

A fund for several families to secure plane tickets out of the country

OTRAH is an organization that helps trans Haitians and wants to expand their services to combat HIV. They don't have a gofundme, instead donations are discussed over email.

There is also this thread of Haitian gofundmes which updates fairly regularly

This document explaining the leadup to where we are now also names some organizations that could use financial support

[thethief1996]

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.

Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.

There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.

There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.

Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:

Al Jazeera

Anadolu Agency

Mondoweiss

Boycott Divest Sanction Movement

Palestinian Youth Movement

Mohammed El-Kurd (twitter / instagram)

Al-Shabaka (twitter / instagram)

Mariam Barghouti (twitter / instagram)

Muhammad Shehada (twitter)

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):

Carrefour

HP

Puma

Sabra

Sodastream

Ahava cosmetics

Israeli fruits and vegetables

Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

Managing Chronic Conditions and Navigating the Healthcare System

Introduction

Chronic conditions, defined as diseases that are persistent and typically long-lasting in their effects, pose significant challenges not just to the individuals they affect but also to the healthcare systems tasked with managing them. Effective management of these conditions is crucial, as it can greatly influence the quality of life of those affected and alleviate the burdens on healthcare resources. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of managing chronic conditions and navigating the complexities of the healthcare system. Through a semi-conversant yet informative lens, we'll explore strategies for individuals to effectively manage their conditions, advocate for their health needs, and optimize their interactions with healthcare providers.

Understanding Chronic Conditions

Chronic conditions range widely in form and severity, from diabetes and heart disease to arthritis and mental health issues. The common thread among these conditions is their long-term nature and the required continuous management. Early diagnosis and ongoing management are vital in controlling these conditions and maintaining a high quality of life. This section will delve into chronic conditions' biological and social impact, highlighting the importance of a proactive and informed approach to health management.

The Role of the Healthcare System

The healthcare system plays a pivotal role in managing chronic conditions. Its complex network includes primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. A multidisciplinary approach is often necessary to manage a chronic condition effectively, requiring coordination among various healthcare professionals. Additionally, navigating the intricacies of insurance coverage and healthcare policies is a significant aspect of managing chronic conditions. This section will provide insights into optimizing interactions with healthcare providers and systems for better management outcomes.

Managing Chronic Conditions

Living with a chronic condition often necessitates lifestyle changes and adjustments. From dietary modifications to physical activity and medication adherence, individuals have a significant role in managing their health. This section will explore practical strategies for lifestyle adjustments, the importance of medication management, and the benefits of regular monitoring and self-care practices. Empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their health is crucial in managing chronic conditions.

Navigating the Healthcare System

Effective communication with healthcare providers, managing healthcare records, and understanding patient rights are essential to navigating the healthcare system. This section will offer practical advice for building a productive relationship with healthcare providers, keeping track of health information, and leveraging available patient resources. Navigating the healthcare system with confidence and knowledge can significantly impact managing chronic conditions and the overall healthcare experience.

Conclusion

Managing chronic conditions and navigating the healthcare system are complex but essential tasks for many individuals. Understanding chronic conditions, effectively engaging with the healthcare system, and adopting proactive management strategies can significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life. Advocating for oneself and staying informed are key. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, so will the strategies for managing chronic conditions. Armed with the right knowledge and resources, individuals can face these challenges head-on, leading to a more empowered and health-focused future.

[justaquickquestion]

Ultranos talked about the process of “replacement,” whereby experiments must first be done on the lowest relevant tier of animals (or cell culture, or computer model) until the investigator can prove that their scientific investigation - or that of past researchers - has made future results redundant with the same species.

There is a principle in laboratory animal science called “The Three R’s:” Replace, Reduce, and Refine. Part of this relies upon a tiered hierarchy of perceived consciousness (awareness of their own suffering) in laboratory animals; it’s a hierarchy that is still up for debate and refinement and relies some (in my opinion) on antiquated ideas or traditional practices. However, it’s a good tool to reduce animal suffering.

As well as needing to prove that it would be redundant or irrelevant to use a lower-tier species, researchers must run statistical analyses to ensure they use the lowest number of animals they could need. Do you need a separate control group, or can you use the same animals pre-treatment (or pre-infection) as your control data? Some nonhuman primate studies get published with a sample size of two. Some medical treatments will move to human trials without using nonhuman primates, because there’s sound enough science in related treatment protocols (similar drug therapies) to show that the monkeys won’t reveal anything that the previous animal trials didn’t.

And lastly, these trials are extremely expensive. Researchers developing lifesaving vaccines and cures for terminal illness aren’t able to afford to fuck around with twenty-three animals’ lives. Some very valuable projects will never reach the phase of twenty-three animals at once.

Those of us involved with laboratory animals, we know the seriousness of our work. My colleagues and I often know the mannerisms and character of all of our charges. I give more enrichment than the minimum requirement, and I go out of my way to train my animals to cooperate in their daily care. I work with young animals who haven’t yet been assigned to studies; I know I’m part of setting them up for their future. I take the time to acclimate a very nervous animal to human presence, I work with experts (behaviorists, trainers) to prepare them for skills they’ll need when they’re on study. I name them, and tell my partner stories about them as if they were human children. And after a few months or a year in my department, I know they will go to another department and be put through studies. My career may outlast many of them. I do this, knowing that they will contribute to the development of medicine that will save human lives.

One of the barest standards of justification in this research is, “these animals will suffer, and experience pain and illness. Will this study likely benefit people and/or other animals, to a degree that outweighs this suffering?” And neuralink ain’t gonna do that.

what the libcucks fail to understand is that this is a small price to pay for the end goal: an embedded HUD with unskippable advertisements in the margins of your eyesight
