Assisted Living News and Alabama Information

» Ever try "Peanut Coffee?" Plant scientist George Washington Carver developed more than 300 products from the peanut, including coffee. » Alabama is the 29th Largest State at 51,609 square miles. Major cities are Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery. » Alabama was the 22nd state, admitted December 14, 1819 » The state flower is the golden poppy » In 1955 a stubborn, tired black woman named Rosa Parks simply refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery. Her refusal stirred the civil rights movement that led the nation into a struggle to make all its people free and equal.			» Alabama is a great state to be! Warm weather and really nice people live here and there are numerous assisted living facilities to choose from. If you are suffering from any physical impairments, Alzheimer's or any other cognitive decline, or if you have a loved one that may need assisted living, we hope our site helps to steer you in the right direction. If you have a facility in Alabama that you think should be listed on this page, please let us know! » Does the assisted living facility that you are interested in offer a shuttle service to shopping and other locations? This is an important consideration if you are not able to drive, or if you do not have transportation. Many facilities may offer weekly shopping trips for their residents, and also transportation to and from doctor's appointments. » If you have a loved one in an assisted living facility, and he or she is suffering from Alzheimer's, check to see if the facility offers an Alzheimer's support group. Many of them do, and this may be a way to get new insight and support into this condition. If your facility does not offer one, many cities have senior centers that may offer a similar program. » During this century, the number of elderly in the United States has grown by a factor of 11. In the early 1900s, the elderly comprised 1 in 25 citizens in the United States, or a little over 3 million. Now, that number is 1 in 8, or approximately 34 million (as of 1997). Part of the reason for this increase is the declining fertility rates and mortality rates. The median age has risen as well - from 23 years old in 1900 to 35 years old in 1997. Alabama's senior population is following this trend as well. In 1997, Alabama housed over 565,000 residents over 65. Source - Sixty Five in Alabama			What is dementia? This is basically a significant impairment in thinking and memory. There is a stereotype in nursing home and assisted living culture that most or all of the residents are "demented" - or suffering from a mental impairment. This is simply not correct. In fact, only a little more than half of nursing home or assisted residents have dementia, and most of these residents are lucid and carry on their complex lives of managing their finances, schedules, and routines as they always have. Make sure to ask about extra fees up front. Assisted-living centers charge many additional fees, and it's good practice for people to be familiar with them and plan for them up-front, so they don't come as a surprise with that first bill. For example: Will you be charged for hairdressing, apartment cleaning, or extra care? How about transportation or rehabilitation costs? If you have any questions about what is covered by Medicare, please contact them by calling 1-800-633-4227. Medication management is also offered by many residences. What is long-term care? A wide range of health and personal care – from simple assisted living arrangements to intensive nursing home care – for elderly or disabled person(s) (from gisbenefits.com)
