Comment on Hiring a Caregiver: Direct Hire vs. Using a Home Care Agency by Alaina

I recently went through the process of finding in-home care for my elderly mother.
I was nervous about leaving her, and when I asked tough questions of the agency that was recommended to me, I was shocked to learn that
after the initial intake process, they basically have almost no visibility to the actual day-to-day care!
I interviewed 5 or 6 more agencies, and all but one uses care journals that sit in my mother’s home such that the agency really has
very limited idea of what’s going on. I finally found an agency that uses a “point-of-care system.” I highly recommend this!
I login at a website called “ClearCare” and I can see what is happening every day. I know when my mom’s caregiver clocks in at her
house, and when she completes specific tasks. I’m alerted if the caregiver does not arrive on time or if something isn’t done
properly. This has been a very difficult process for me, but I do find peace of mind in knowing exactly what’s happening every day.

Comment on Falls Among the Elderly Threaten Their Independence by Regina Kohlhepp

Older adults can benefit from assessment of their gait followed up with gait training. Poor posture and reduced stride length sometimes contribute to loss of balance with subsequent trips and falls. Working with older adults, I often start with gait assessment and work on strategies to improve strength and balance based on how the older adult walks. The approach to balance and mobility training needs to be multifaceted and targeted to the individual. Thank you for your article.
