He once remarked "Gout is the physician of old age, and I thank it for its attention."

5 Behavioral Triggers in Alzheimer’s
By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care January 6, 2025
Understanding the 5 Behavioral Triggers in Alzheimer's Behavioral changes in Alzheimer’s disease are often triggered by five primary factors: environmental, physiological, emotional, social, and task-related triggers. Environmental triggers stem from changes or challenges in surroundings, such as loud noises or unfamiliar settings, which can cause confusion and agitation. Physiological triggers are related to unmet physical needs, such as pain, hunger, fatigue, or medication side effects, leading to restlessness or aggression. Emotional triggers arise from feelings of fear, frustration, loneliness, or insecurity, often resulting in anxiety or withdrawal. Social triggers, including overstimulation in large groups or isolation from meaningful interactions, can further exacerbate distress. Lastly, task-related triggers occur when individuals face difficulties with activities that are too complex or unfamiliar, leading to frustration or resistance. Recognizing and addressing these triggers is essential for caregivers to create a supportive and nurturing environment, improving the quality of life for individuals with Alzheimer’s. 7 Day Home Care is a licensed home care agency providing specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care near you in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, and Suffolk County, New York.

Discover 15 distinct pneumonia symptoms, including cough, fever, and shortness of breath.
By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care January 2, 2025
According to American Lung Association "Pneumonia symptoms can vary from so mild you barely notice them, to so severe that hospitalization is required. How your body responds to pneumonia depends on the type germ causing the infection, your age and your overall health." The Mayo Clinic explains "Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can cause pneumonia. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. It is most serious for infants and young children, people older than age 65, and people with health problems or weakened immune systems." More, according to Cleveland Clinic "while all pneumonia is inflammation caused by an infection in your lungs, you may have different symptoms depending on whether the root cause is a virus, bacteria or fungi. Bacterial pneumonia tends to be more common and more severe than viral pneumonia. It’s more likely to require a hospital stay. Providers treat bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics. Viral pneumonia causes flu-like symptoms and is more likely to resolve on its own. You usually don’t need specific treatment for viral pneumonia."
Top Questions About Hospice and Palliative Care Answered
By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care December 30, 2024
Top Questions About Hospice and Palliative Care Answered Palliative care and hospice care at home both prioritize comfort and quality of life, but they differ in purpose and timing. Palliative care is available at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatments, focusing on symptom relief, emotional well-being, and holistic support. Hospice care, on the other hand, is specifically for individuals nearing the end of life, typically with a prognosis of six months or less, and emphasizes comfort over curative measures. A highly trained and experienced home care agency, like 7 Day Home Care, plays a critical role by delivering personalized support tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Certified home health aides assist with daily living activities, provide companionship, and coordinate closely with medical teams, ensuring seamless, compassionate care that enhances dignity and peace for patients and their families. 7 Day Home Care is a licensed home care agency providing Home Health Aide palliative and hospice support services in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, and Suffolk County, New York.
