At At Home Senior Care, we recognize the importance of open communication and effective tools to assess pain, particularly for the seniors we serve. By working closely with our clients and their families, we use various pain assessment scales to help identify and address discomfort. Here are four commonly used pain scales:

This holiday season, let At Home Senior Care help you create a care plan that brings comfort and joy to your senior loved ones. Whether your loved one needs a little extra support or 24/7 care, we’re here to make your holidays truly feel like home.
caregiver stress, Caregiver Support, Vermont caregiving
We can better understand stressors when we track our trigger points: common triggers are limited downtime, emotional or physical exhaustion, lack of sleep, and lack of support. Once a caregiver has a better understanding of what is causing the stress, he or she can customize a plan to relieve it.
senior well-being, National Senior Citizens
August 21 marks National Senior Citizens Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring and appreciating the senior members of our community.

A garden is a paradise for all the senses! The taste of a sun-warmed tomato, the cool feel of a watering can, the floral smell of roses, the view of a lush, green plant against a turquoise sky: so many pleasures for the home gardener and the sensory support it provides, a wonderfully satisfying space for people living with dementia too.
