The Essential Role of Respite Care Services for Seniors

Caring for seniors is a labor of love, but the responsibilities can be overwhelming for family caregivers. Balancing caregiving duties with life commitments can lead to burnout and stress. This is where respite care services step in, offering a crucial lifeline for caregivers and enhancing the overall well-being of seniors.

Understanding the Significance and Benefits of Respite Care Services

The Essence of Respite Care

Respite care is a specialized form of support designed to provide relief to family caregivers who care for seniors or individuals with special needs. It allows caregivers to take a well-deserved break, tend to personal commitments, and rejuvenate while ensuring their loved ones continue receiving the care they need. Respite care services include in-home care, adult day centers, and quick stays in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

Promoting Caregiver Well-being

Preventing Caregiver Burnout: Caring for a senior loved one can be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care provides caregivers with regular breaks, reducing the risk of burnout and exhaustion.

Time for Self-care: Caregivers often neglect their well-being. Respite care allows caregivers to prioritize self-care, engage in hobbies, and recharge their energy.

Reducing Stress: The demands of caregiving can lead to heightened stress levels. Respite care provides much-needed relief, allowing caregivers to manage stress more effectively.

Enhanced Focus: A break from caregiving allows caregivers to return with renewed focus, patience, and attentiveness to their loved ones' needs.

Benefits for Seniors

Variety in Companionship: Interaction with different caregivers through respite care introduces seniors to new experiences, conversation, and companionship.

Stimulation and Engagement: Respite care services often include activities that stimulate cognitive functions and physical mobility, contributing to seniors' overall well-being.

Maintaining Routine: Consistency is vital for seniors' comfort. Respite care upholds daily routines, medication schedules, and dietary needs.

Socialization: Seniors benefit from interacting with peers and caregivers, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting mental and emotional health.

Options for Respite Care

In-home Respite Care: Trained caregivers visit the senior's home, providing companionship, assistance with activities of daily living, and relief for the primary caregiver.

Adult Day Centers: Seniors participate in structured activities and receive care in a safe environment, while caregivers have the flexibility to work or attend to personal matters.

Short-term Respite Stays: Some assisted living or memory care communities offer short-term stays, allowing seniors to experience community living while giving caregivers a break.

Family Support Programs: Community organizations and agencies often offer respite care vouchers, connecting caregivers with trained professionals for short breaks.

Strengthening Family Bonds

Respite care not only benefits caregivers and seniors but also strengthens family relationships. Caregivers can experience reduced guilt and anxiety knowing their loved ones are in capable hands. Seniors may welcome the opportunity to interact with new caregivers, providing them with diverse experiences and insights. The availability of respite care services encourages open communication among family members, promoting a collaborative approach to caregiving.

Delaware respite care services are a beacon of support for family caregivers, seniors, and their families. By prioritizing caregiver well-being and enriching the lives of seniors, these services contribute to a balanced and fulfilling caregiving journey. As the aging population grows, the essence of respite care services becomes increasingly evident, providing a foundation for compassion, understanding, and the enhancement of seniors' quality of life.

The Biden administration is removing William Penn from Philadelphia.

New plans by the National Park Service to renovate Old City’s Welcome Park include removing the centerpiece statue of William Penn permanently and redesigning the park to highlight Native American history — a move that has angered Pennsylvania’s Republican leadership.

The plan is a major shift, considering that the park was built on the site of Penn’s home, the Slate Roof House, and is named for the ship, Welcome, that transported him from England. Penn actually landed first in 1682 near the intersection of the Delaware River and Chester Creek in Chester.

Welcome Park is part of Independence National Historical Park and was completed in 1982 on designs by Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Penn’s arrival.

The wide-open park across from the former site of City Tavern aims to tell the story of Penn’s vision for the city. Although a lesser-known area of Independence Park, it provides visitors with an overview of the city layout and history of Penn’s landing. The Penn statue includes a farewell ode to Philadelphia, imparting “what love, what care, what service, what travail have there been to bring thee forth.”

Now, the National Park Service wants to rehabilitate the park in time for the 250th birthday celebration of America in 2026. The park on Second Street between Chestnut and Walnut Streets has fallen into disrepair with rows of broken granite floor.

Representatives for the National Park Service could not be reached for comment Monday. They are seeking public comment on the proposal, according to their website.

Plans announced Friday call for “an expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia” in consultation with Indigenous nations of the Haudenosaunee, Delaware Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, Shawnee Tribe, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.

Designs would keep some parts of the current park, including the original Philadelphia street grid, but the “Penn statue and Slate Roof House model will be removed and not reinstalled,” according to the plans.

Republican outcry

“The decision by President Biden and his administration to try and cancel William Penn out of whole cloth is another sad example of the left in this country scraping the bottom of the barrel of woke-ism to advance an extreme ideology and a nonsensical view of history,” Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R., Lancaster) said in a statement.

Cutler said the treaty signed by Penn with Native Americans was historical and with “mutual respect shown between Penn and Native tribes.”

“This issue is also deeply personal to me,” Cutler said. “The first Cutlers came to Pennsylvania in 1685 on the ship Rebekah, not long after Penn’s arrival in 1682. They came to Pennsylvania because they were Quakers who shared Penn’s view of religious tolerance and peace.”

Cutler said removing the statue creates an “absurd and revisionist view of our state’s history.” He said he plans to introduce a resolution honoring William Penn and “encouraging” the National Park Service to halt the plan.

Pennsylvania State Sen. Scott Martin (R., Berks) and chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, on social media called the plan “absolutely disgraceful.”

Native Americans

Welcome Park, though not necessarily the statue of Penn, has also been the site of some resentment among Native Americans. The plot had been given to the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations from the Iroquois Confederacy) in January 1755 by John Penn, William Penn’s grandson. In the 1700s, Native American groups often visited Philadelphia for diplomatic and trade meetings. They sometimes numbered in the hundreds and visited so frequently that John Penn asked the Provincial Council of Philadelphia to consider setting aside a piece of land for these gatherings. The delegations often refused to negotiate treaties until they could stand on their own ground and build a council fire.

A 2020 Inquirer article chronicled a trip by six women from the Iroquois Confederacy in upstate New York to reconnect with the patch of tribal land on the site of Welcome Park.

“I anticipated a park in a natural pristine state. Like any other park, it would have trees, grass, water,” said Louise McDonald (Native name Wa’kerakátste), a Mohawk Bear Clan Mother from Akwesasne, N.Y. “I was frozen for a minute because I felt it had been choked and that it wasn’t a true representation of the original intentions of the space. It just seemed to be purposely buried with a cover-up narrative. There certainly seems to be a feeling of erasure intended to remove any spirit that would imply that we were once there.”

Penn in Philly

William Penn’s likenesses will still remain in Philly. The statue of Penn atop City Hall is a landmark, visible from many parts of the city.

And there is another Penn statue at Penn Treaty Park off North Delaware Avenue at the corner of East Columbia Avenue and Beach Street. Legend says Penn and a local Lenape clan made a peace agreement under an elm tree. The original “treaty elm” has long been replaced, but the park contains an obelisk and plaque memorializing the agreement, as well as a statue of Penn.

The discussion of the Penn statue’s removal is not the first time in recent years that Philadelphia has seen a struggle over statues.

The statue of Frank L. Rizzo, the late mayor and police commissioner, was ordered removed from in front of the Municipal Services Building in 2020 by then-Mayor Jim Kenney amid sweeping protests after the murder of George Floyd. Also in recent years, people have petitioned to have the Christopher Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza removed, though it still remains. _______________________________________

Time to start finding problematic people the folks on the left like and tearing monuments to them down, maybe Fredrick Douglas was sexist, we already know MLK was a Zionist that should count against him for some people, know who else was a Zionist

Wonder where the "Ruth Sent Us" group is now.......

Maybe we find something bad Harriet Tubman did and start to disqualify her, she may have been mean to native Americans or something.

Given enough time they're going to find something wrong with everyone that has a statue eventually.

Start with every single statue and bust of karl marx

Hey do you happen to know of any resources for someone in Iowa looking to get into native plant gardening? Thanks in advance! (Love your blog btw)

*cracks knuckles* sorry for keeping you hanging since November 3rd, homie, but I'm back home and down to get started!

Before I do, a special reminder that I'm not based in Iowa! I don't think I've ever even set foot in Iowa. I'm a Florida girlie lol. However, I will do my best to give you my advice and find some resources for you!

In my experience, many native plants grow slowly from seed. This could be because I mostly prefer perennials (I am way too lazy to replace an annual every year), but they can take awhile to germinate and an even longer while to size up. I've gotten seeds that say to wait upwards of 3 weeks to see any germination, and that's often after waiting a month or more for proper cold stratification! All of this is just to say--you gotta have a bit of patience when it comes to all gardening, but especially with native plants!

If you can get your hands on some seeds now, they'll likely need cold stratification. Fortunately, cold stratification is happening right now--put the seeds where you want them to grow, and let chilly winters do the work for you! Needing cold stratification basically means the plant has evolved to know it needs to wait until after winter to start germinating, so as things warm back up in spring, your seeds'll start growing!

Once they start growing and get established, they'll really start going--if they're in their perfect conditions, they'll be more than ready to take over a bit and manage on their own! Keep an eye out for watering needs, but generally I find native plants don't need much when it comes to fertilizer and pesticides. If you don't want things to spread a lot, you can always choose to grow certain plants in pots instead--or if you're really determined to grow a plant your soil isn't quite right for, a pot does wonders. My soil isn't very moist, so I grow a good chunk of my swamp milkweeds in pots to keep a better eye on their care.

Iowa's got a handful of growing zones going on, so knowing what the zone for your region is will help you pick the best plants! You can also pick plants known to have grown historically well in your region--I've seen plant range maps break things down by counties for my state, which helps give a good idea of whether it's a good idea for me to grow something touted as a native to my state. It's entirely possible for something to be native to your state, but not your half of the state, for example!

Browsing through a couple of sites, I hope these'll be helpful to you!

This is a link to Iowa Native Plants, which has a nice primer on the importance of native gardening as well as a few guides to native plants in their Finder tab! They also seem to sell a hanfdul of books on native gardening that may be an interesting read for you!

My Home Park appears to have a lot of information on native plants, and sells native plants that can be shipped to your state! I can't say I've ever had a plant shipped to me before, let alone from them (they don't service my state) but it could be worth a shot! If anything else, could be a good source of information! They also have a blog, and a feature that lets you mock up a garden to see what it'd look like (I didn't try it though). They also seem to service North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine.

The Tallgrass Prairie Center links to a ton of resources on learning about native plants, planting them, landowner incentive programs, and organizations you can join that are full of others who are passionate about native plants! The Tallgrass Prairie Center itself aims to establish and protect native plants, restore ecosystems, and increase awareness and appreciation of the Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem. I think their site's definitely worth a look-through, or you can use it as a bouncing off point to find other sites full of info!

The Iowa Native Plant Society is a nonprofit organization full of people who are enthusiastic about native plants! They host field trips, workshops, have a newsletter, and more! It could be a fun way to learn more about native ecosystems on their trips, and if they're anything like the native plant society for my state, the calendar on their site will probably start lighting up with different chapters' native plant sales as we get closer to spring, so keep an eye out! They've also got books and lots of resource links on their site!

Oftentimes when I look up information on how to grow a particular plant in my state, the university extensions office is one of the best resources. As such, I think the Iowa State University's Extension and Outreach website is likely to have some good info for you about gardening! I've also in the past emailed some staff from various offices questions about native gardening and gotten good answers, so they're definitely a resource to be utilized!

I almost forgot to link the Xerces Society! The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has a primary focus of protecting insects in the US, but that often goes hand in hand with native plants, so they're a great resource for learning about plants and the insects that rely on them! Especially helpful is their Pollinator Conservation Resource Center, which has lists of plants and suppliers by region! You can also find just their plant lists here!

Speaking of plant lists, The National Wildlife Federation has a list of keystone plants by ecoregion! Keystone plants are highly important, as they're vital to the lifecycle of many species of insect, which then help feed birds and other creatures--you get the picture. I used the National Wildife Federation a good bit when I was writing my Biodiversity Saga on increasing biodiversity in your yard/on your balcony/in your area on a budget.

iNaturalist is a fantastic website for cataloguing the cool insects you find in your new native garden, as well as learning about the variety of plants, animals, insects, etc. that are in your area! Make an account and just vibe around!

Books can be a great resource! Unfortunately, my attention span is frequently lacking when it comes to books, and I definitely haven't read any that focus on Iowa's native flora. However! I've got a few general books that are nice reads, so you can definitely see if you can find these in a library or online (I'm including Thriftbooks links because fuck Amazon).

Hellstrip Gardening by Evelyn J. Hadden is a book I read last month that honestly inspired so many new projects out of me that next year is gonna be busy. Might as well get a healthy dose of inspiration now so you can do some planning and be roaring and ready to go come spring! I liveblogged it on my gardening blog, and shared some of my favorite notes as well!

Attracting Native Pollinators by the Xerces Society is a book that offers a generalized view on why its important, ways you can utilize native plants at any scale from swaths of farmland to a school garden or a small yard, and provides lists of plants that can be good for your region near the end! They also have Gardening for Butterflies, which I honestly haven't read yet, but I checked it out from the library so Mayhaps Soon. PS: you can buy Attracting Native Pollinators and Gardening for Butterflies from the Xerces site directly, and support their work! However. Hoo buddy, the pricing.

(Psst, here's the plant list from Attracting Native Pollinators, don't tell Xerces)

My final message to you, young padawan, is to grow milkweed. If there's a milkweed native to your state, grow it. If there's several native to your region, grow a ton of it. Milkweed is the host plant for Monarchs, but it's also such a high-value nectar source for so many other insects you've just gotta try and grow some in my book. Also a lot of the sites I saw for your state had pictures of blazing star and black eyed susans and let me tell you. Plant those. You'll have so many happy pollinators.

I can't think of anything else. If any Iowa gardeners wanna chime in with their favorite resources and such, feel free to!

[dude-iloveu]

parents of parents. uh. parents². fambly

under the cut because i like the drawings but not that much that i wanna put it out there just like that. i just wanna talk about them, mostly additional things that i would dive into less but they're on my mind anyway

1st version designs. agfgsj you can see it's an old drawing from the way i draw noct and ron

current version

-> aeron's family :]

Mom (White-tailed deer) - Zara

Dad (Yellow-winged bat) - Hariz

Zara is the co-founder of a nonprofit organization (nothing specific i've thought about. they provide services and help for struggling ppl, adolescents/young adults with no one to turn to). She started it with a friend, before they moved on to pursue other projects. Hariz is. now pensioned idk what he worked as. was a long time volunteer and contributor(?) and after being vice president(??) basically took the role as one of the directors along with Zara.

Later on they met a young lady who they helped with finding a home, and she would also sometimes do volunteering work with them. She became pretty good friends with the two, and Zara just cares for her a lot because she is "the most genuine and sweetest person she's met". Sometime later the lady had an unexpected pregnancy, tho while she did want the baby she was pretty much struggling to make ends meet. so her two friends have been most supportive for her and really just. made sure to take care of her. unfortunately she did not make it in labour. the couple, not wanting to leave the baby with complications, took it in as their own, the baby is now known as Aeron.

Sister (some type of feline) - To be named

Brother (Elephant) - to be named

they were both taken under care by the parents, the sister when she was young, who basically grew up in the streets, and the brother as a teenager who lost their family and didn't want to get caught up with their relatives' feud.

random - they're a pretty loving family but can be overbearing at times too. they kinda baby aeron alot which aeron tries to avoid. zara is intersex trans and hariz is cis het ally, they always do their best to be empathetic and understand their kids. technically aeron has more older siblings but he rarely if ever meets them. aeron is most involved with their parents' line of work, since he was raised with helping around in charity events and stuff. he would have a younger sibling but i havent thought of that

-> noctis' family

Mom (mix of California leaf nosed bat & brown long-eared bat) - it used to be Arielle but I'm thinking of changing to Cassiope.

Dad (CA leaf nosed bat) - placeholder name was Dell short for delaware (lie). still unsure what to name him.

The parents have some sort of high position in their jobs at different companies. The mom is strict on upholding a perfect family image and is very envious of others' success. The dad is more lenient, still upholds a 'sophisticated' persona but is a cheater. After it was found and fights happened, they separated with the mom taking the kids. she raised the twins to be perfectionists high achievers while neglecting their emotional and mental wellbeing.

some detail - Noctis likes to fold her ears down as a kid, and this would make the mom mad. it is because folding ears meant being vulnerable because lessened hearing ability (not attentive) which makes her look improper. ironic considering that trait/ability comes from her side. like noctis is literally just chillin lmao. punished for chill crimes.

- the dad bought noctis one of those tamagotchi type toys (virtual pet?) which she loves. he also brought them to various places on the weekends before the divorce.

Twin sister - was named Cielle. now maybe would be Cygnus? not sure yet

the beloved model student who excels in alomst anything she does. loves noctis dearly but is often unable to stand up against her mom to defend her sister.

RICHARD ALLEN [PENNSYLVANIA] (1760-1831)

Richard Allen, History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (1891), by Daniel Payne

Born into slavery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 14, 1760, Richard Allen went on to become an educator, writer, minister and founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.  Benjamin Chew, a Quaker lawyer, owned the Allen family, which included Richard’s parents and three other children.  Chew eventually sold the Allen family to Stokely Sturgis, a Delaware planter.

At age 17 Allen was converted to Methodism by an itinerant preacher.  Allen’s master, Stokely Sturgis, was said to have been influenced by Allen to become a Methodist as well. After his conversion, Sturgis offered his slaves the opportunity to buy their way out of slavery.  In 1783, by working at odd jobs for five years, Allen managed to purchase his freedom for $2,000. In the meantime, Allen began to preach in Methodist churches and meetings in the Baltimore area.  Through his Methodist connections, Allen was invited to return to Philadelphia in 1786. Upon arriving in the city, he joined St. George’s Methodist Episcopal Church, where he became active in teaching and preaching.

As the number of African Americans attending St. George’s increased, racial tensions mounted. Allen preached at 5:00 a.m. in special services on Sunday mornings to approximately 50 African American Methodists.  When they attended the regular morning service, segregated seating was instituted. With this segregation, Allen became convinced that a separate church was necessary for the black congregants.  In 1787, Allen and a number of other African American Methodists, walked out and formed a separate church that would become Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. It was the first Methodist church in the United States specifically for African Americans. Seven years later, on July 29, 1794, Bethel was dedicated by Bishop Francis Asbury. Richard Allen served Bethel Church as its pastor, and he was ordained a deacon by Asbury in 1799.

Other African American Methodist churches were formed in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.  On April 9, 1816, after two decades of conflict with white Methodism, Allen and other African American Methodist preachers hosted a meeting in Philadelphia to bring these churches together, and to form a new denomination, the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). Allen was elected bishop, and with his consecration became the first African American bishop in the United States. Allen cared passionately about education and opened a day school for African American children. He abhorred slavery, worked actively for abolition, and maintained his home as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

He was committed to self-sufficiency for African Americans in the United States, and eventually opposed all manner of colonization plans for African Americans . By the time Allen died at his home in Philadelphia on March 26, 1831, the AME church was well-established in the United States, and supported missions in several countries overseas. He is buried at the church that he founded. His grave remains on the lower level

Tips on Choosing the Right Senior Healthcare Agency Philadelphia

Approaching a senior healthcare agency for the optimum care of your elderly may seek like a daunting task. But actually, it is not. The tips given in this post will help you greatly to find the best caregiver for your loved ones.

There are some decisions in life that are basically weightless – what outfit to wear, what movie to see, where to go to dinner. And there are decisions that will echo through the decades. Selecting a senior Healthcare agency Philadelphia for an elderly loved one may seem to fit into the latter group and have potentially life-changing effects.

[neighborlyhomecarepa]

Choose the Right Care for Your Elderly Loved One

Do you have elderly loved ones who are beginning to have trouble with activities of daily living (ADLs)? Many families in Pennsylvania and Delaware face the challenge of selecting the best caregiving services for their senior parents and they have various options available to them: private home care agencies, retirement homes, nurse visits, moving them into homes with family members, or some combination of these. A private in-home care agency is often the most beneficial choice for numerous reasons.

Consider Your Senior’s Physical and Mental Needs

This important decision should be made by the entire family, if possible, to get the most feedback and to ensure everyone agrees on the course of action. Your elderly relative should be part of this process and be informed of new discussions and decisions.

You should sit down and ask some serious questions about the state of their health and their current ability to care for themselves:

Are they still generally able to perform day-to-day functions, such as cooking and cleaning? What tasks cause them trouble?

What health problems are beginning to appear, and how are those affecting their day-to-day lives?

Are there elements in their home, such as stairs, beginning to pose a physical danger?

What is the status of their finances? Can they pay for their own care, or will the family need to assist?

How is their mental state and their memory? Are there signs of deterioration?

What options are available in your area? Services such as elderly home care or on-call private nurses are unavailable in some areas.

Also, look at your own condition: physically, mentally, and financially. Challenges in this area can dictate some of your options.

Compare Your Senior Care Options

Depending on the condition of your loved one, you could have several different options to choose the right care for your loved one.

Finding Aging In Place Housing

In many cases, a smaller home without stairs is all a physically-challenged older adult needs to remain self-sufficient. In addition, you and your loved one may agree to find a home located close to family, so help and companionship are more accessible.

Moving Seniors Into Family Members’ Homes

This choice is often the preferred option because family members want to be able to take care of everything for their elderly loved ones. Though this option may seem less expensive and more convenient, this full time caregiving can exact significant mental and physical tolls from family caregivers.

Retirement Villages

Less restrictive than traditional “nursing homes,” these villages function more like gated communities but have specialty services on-call 24/7. However, the expense of this housing option can be prohibitive.

Full-Care Retirement Homes

When loved ones have moved beyond being able to care for themselves, family members sometimes choose this fully assisted-care environment.

Elderly In Home Care

In home care for elderly loved ones is often a good balance, bringing the level of care needed to allow loved ones to stay in their own homes. Professional home care providers can come to their homes to help manage daily task, take them to doctor visits, and provide companionship. This type of service can also be helpful for family caregivers who still work or need some assistance with their elderly loved ones’ care.

Benefits of Private Home Care Agencies

Private in-home care offers personal care services that allow your loved ones to remain in the comfortable and familiar environment of their homes, or in the home of a family member. This type of care can bring immense peace of mind to older adults and their families, relieving them of the stress and worry that often accompany the decision to seek outside care.

Here’s why private in-home care is a great option compared to other types of care:

1. Personalized and Tailored Support

With private in-home care, the services are tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether they require assistance with daily tasks, medication management, or dementia care, customized care plans are implemented to enhance their quality of life. This personalized approach is a hallmark of in-home caregiving.

2. Maintaining Independence

For many seniors, the ability to stay in their own homes represents independence and dignity. In-home eldercare ensures seniors can continue their daily routines and control their lives while receiving the necessary support. This kind of care significantly boosts their emotional well-being and happiness, empowering them to maintain some control over their lives.

3. Continuity and Consistency

Working with private home care agencies offers the advantage of having a consistent caregiver, which helps build a trusting and supportive relationship. This consistency is often lacking in institutional settings such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Our caregiver agencies ensure that each client receives dependable and dedicated care.

4. Companionship and Emotional Support

Apart from providing physical care, in-home caregivers also offer essential companionship. Loneliness can be a significant issue among seniors, and having a friendly and compassionate caregiver around can make a world of difference to their mental health and provide them with the emotional support they need.

5. Flexibility and Convenience

Private in-home care is designed to be flexible. Caregivers can adapt to your loved one’s schedule and make necessary adjustments as their needs evolve, from respite care to full-time long-term care. This flexibility includes various services and locations, such as disability care for adults or senior home care in Main Line, PA and in Delaware counties.
