The Elderly and Prescribed Medication Approx 80% of seniors take one prescription medication. And about 45% of seniors take three or more prescription medications. The Elderly appear to be thinner. But they retain more body fat and have less lean muscle mass than they did when they were younger. This affects medications that are stored in the body’s fat. Liver and kidney functions declines with age. The liver’s function is to breakdown the medication. The kidney’s function is to eliminate excess medication from your body. When you receive a new prescription for a medication you should ask questions of both your physician and your pharmacist until you know: It is your body !! You know it better than anyone !! So it is up to you to understand what medications can do to harm you as well as what they should do to assist with whatever they have been prescribed for. As you get elderly this gets more impotant

83% of seniors take one prescription medication. And 50% of seniors take three or more prescription medications. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Lu_Young I have to write a few paragraphs on the elderly perspective of exercise and nutrition, but can’t really find any information online. So i need help, does anyone know any answers with sources? My mother is 86 and I was advised by a friend that several elderly patients at the Nursing Home where she worked, was taking Lyrica and required not assistance with walking, but after taking Lyrica for a month or more became inmobile and unable to walk. I’m curious, because, we just put my Mom in a nursing home because she got to where she could not use her legs. My mom-in-law heard of a grant helping home owners make additions to their homes for their elderly parents. She just doesn’t know which company/group provides this grant. Can anyone point my mom-in-law in the correct direction? Also, Habitat for Humanity had some thing going, but I believe this is only available in rural areas. I can’t remember the details. I have over 30 years of experience working with home health, I had my own home assistance business for 10 years, Iam very good at what I do, I don’t want to sit at home in a rocking chair just because iam a senior now, I can add living space on to my home to house elderly persons to provide safe,comfortable living condition, and at the same time provide employment for others. Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same – hardly any grants for starting a for profit business. Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html… "The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments." Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT – Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women’s Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women’s business center that will train women entrepreneurs For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center’s Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It’s a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don’t have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs. http://www.cfda.gov He will be having day surgery, I will pick him up, then take him again the next day for a checkup. |
