TIPS FOR SUPPORTING SENIOR MOMS’ HEALTHCARE NEEDS ON MOTHER’S DAY

May 5, 2023

Mother’s Day is here, and what better time to focus on the needs of the woman who has dedicated her life caring for her children.

To celebrate the occasion, consider giving your mother the best gift of all – your support for her health and wellbeing. There are many ways you can support your senior mother’s healthcare needs and ensure she lives a long, thriving, and healthy life.

How to Address Your Mother’s Health Concerns

Aging women face many potential healthcare concerns, such as:

  • Arthritis
  • Breast cancer
  • Dementia
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Osteoporosis

Aside from looking for symptoms of these age-related ailments, educate your mother on what signs she needs to look out for, such as breast swelling, brittle bones, muscle pain, or memory loss.

Depression is one of the most common ailments in seniors, but also one of the hardest to notice. This is particularly true if you don’t see your mother often.She may seem like her normal self when you visit her but may be struggling mentally when alone.

If your mother is dealing with depression, see to it that she is engaged in a hobby or other activities and maintaining a social life and some sort of responsibility to keep her busy and in good spirits. If needed, encourage her to see a specialist for professional help.

Other supportive tips include:

  • Ensuring that your mother is eating healthily. Remind her to eathealthy foods, such as leafy greens, berries, and avocados,on a regular basis and only enjoy the occasional snack or treat in moderation.
  • Making sure she is taking any medications properly. Be aware of your mother’s prescriptions and take note of her doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions. You can also help her by purchasing vitamins and supplements recommended by her doctor and by monitoring her sugar intake.
  • Helping your mother manage any existing health conditions. Make sure your mother is comfortably situated in her home. If she has any physical challenges, provide the equipment or facilities needed to avoid falls or other injuries.
  • Making sure she keeps her medical appointments and gets screened. Some seniors tend to overlook or avoid trips to the doctor either due to forgetfulness or difficulty with transportation. Others simply want to avoid the cost despite the fact that Medicare covers a yearly wellness exam at no cost to the patient. Impress upon your mother the importance of regular doctor visits as an opportunity to ask questions about her health and have her doctor perform the vital screenings she needs for common senior ailments. Most of these screenings are also covered by Medicare.

I just wish I could quit forgetting my blood work appointment, but other than that everything is fine. I have been getting great care from Dr. Renan and the office staff is excellent.

The staff greets me with a smile and by name. There's never a long wait, and Dr. Min is the PC that I have ever had. 15 yrs and counting!

I am very happy to be a Patient at Dr Aristides Martinez Office, my appointment yesterday with Andrea was far above expected, she dedicated about one hour to talk with me about all my pains and my concerns. It was like if I would've been with a Psychologist, I came out of her office with all my questions answered and sure that I am in very good hands. I thanks God that I started coming to this Clinic.

I love Ms. Patel and the girls in the office. I rarely have to wait long. I have been going to this office since it was JayCare in 2015. I have never had a problem with any of the doctors or PAs that I have seen. Ms. Patel actually takes time with me and listens to my concerns. I already recommend her to everyone I know.

Since moving to Florida three years ago I’ve seen many doctors and just didn’t have a good feeling. Once I walked into Dr Shah’s office from the front desk staff to the doctor himself was a wonderful experience. You are always given their undivided attention and Dr. Shah is Very thorough in his exams. I give 5 stars to this office

The receptionists and even the security guards are extremely helpful and friendly, they always remember me when I come in and they’ve all always gone above and beyond to make each experience as easy and stress free as possible.

Dr Latt and his staff are AMAZING. Dr Latt takes his time to listen to you and explain everything In detail! The lobby looks amazing, made my heart feel the Spirit of Christmas. My mom was diagnosed with liver failure on Christmas Day and passed 10 days later, 2 years ago and I have really struggled to feel the spirit of Christmas since then. The minute I opened the door and walked into the building pure joy flooded my soul. Thanks to the Staff at Palm Medical for the Amazing Holiday Scene May God Bless you and your families always.
