It is often said: “April showers bring May flowers.” The month of May also ushers in Older Americans Month to honor America’s seniors. On May 16 the PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care For The Elderly) Association of Michigan is hosting its annual Day of Advocacy; and on May 17 the State of Michigan, along with the Area Agencies on Aging, is hosting the annual Older Michiganians Day celebration. These will be held at the Capitol in Lansing and will provide an opportunity to inform the Michigan Legislature as to the importance of support for seniors.
If you are over 65 years of age, you are not alone. The Washington Post reported recently that some 17% of people living in the United States, or more than one in six, were 65 or older in 2020, according to a report from the Administration on Aging.
We are pleased to announce the launch of PVM’s Caregiver’s Best Friend Podcasts. This will elevate our mission to provide information, education and practical tips to make the caregiver journey a smoother ride. Being prepared and making smart choices makes for a better experience whether you are a caregiver or a loved one receiving care.
Lynn Alexander talks about the importance of family dynamics when it comes to caregiving for loved ones. It’s important that family members recognize what might be going on behind the scenes with their loved ones, and find a way to make things happen in a positive way for their best outcome.
