Did you know that if all #hearingloss was managed on time, around 1 in 13 cases of #dementia could be delayed or eliminated? Healthy #aging requires holistic care—including all the senses. On top of this, stigmas around hearing aids need to go. agedcareinsite.com.au/2022/09/hearin…

With a new age of #seniorliving, residents must come a new approach to senior living #design. I especially think the trend of integrating communities into urban environments is key: building near universities can be a way to foster life-long #learning. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/columns/g…

Misconceptions about #seniorliving still abound. The idea that seniors lose #independence when making the move is especially prevalent. While residents certainly receive the necessary #care and help in managing daily tasks, they are free to live life at their own pace.

#Seniorliving continues to see #innovation; this time in its design. Keeping in mind the next generation of seniors, #architects are incorporating more natural light as well as building in more opportunities for social #connection. seniorhousingnews.com/2022/10/06/pus…

As a #seniorliving operator, I am always looking out for tech that can positively impact our residents. Recently, a new smart watch, by measuring walking steadiness and speed, has been found to improve walking #stability and reduce the risk of #falls. itwire.com/your-it-news/m…

It's vital that #seniorliving operators keep in mind the wants of their residents, prospective or otherwise, of which surveys have found #flexibility, #wellness on demand, and tailored #care to be the most sought after. seniorlivingnews.com/wellness-and-e…

A great discussion of the latest research on #healthyaging—important for those with #seniors at home to be aware of. Something as simple as a daily #multivitamin has been shown to protect against Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline. atriumhealth.org/dailydose/2022…

There is an art to #agingwell—like others, it has to be learnt and with almost 30% of the world being #over60, it is becoming increasingly important to teach. One thing we emphasize in our approach is #creativity: films, poetry, and music, all are great. nextavenue.org/the-art-of-agi…

There are many myths about ageing that we address in our approach. Often people believe that you can't build muscle when you're old, but this is wrong. By focusing on #protein and #weighttraining, we help our residents ward off the fragility of #oldage. prevention.com/health/a413050…

An interesting study on the positive impacts associated with bringing #lowtech to #retiredliving residents. The main point is that they facilitate a greater sense of independence, for example, by receiving medication reminders on your #tablet. stir.ac.uk/news/2022/octo…

Great initiative by Aegis to incorporate more #wellnessorientated #menus. With diet playing a key role in #healthyaging, I consider having the right #foods a must for any elder care—the emphasis is shifting to a more plant-based approach. seniorhousingnews.com/2022/10/21/rem…

I love this and I think we should all take a page out of New York's approach here, which has just received an #agefriendly designation from AARP and the #WHO. Read on to see how they are integrating #healthyaging priorities across the state. buffalonews.com/opinion/anothe…

#healthyaging is certainly achievable, I agree—great to hear this said by a prominent expert in the field of #longevity. At Primus, we believe what the longest-living people, the Okinawans, have practised for years, that #food is #medicine: "nuchi gusui." longevitylive.com/anti-aging/lea…

What a great event the ASLI Talent Showcase 2022 is, which gives elders the opportunity to showcase their #talents and participate in #activities and engage with peers. The game of #sudoku was great fun! Organizing such events is one of our priorities. linkedin.com/posts/primus-l…

Hear the first-hand #experience of living at Primus from one of our r#esidents: how she stays engaged and the benefits of moving to a #retirementcommunity. linkedin.com/posts/primus-l…

Recent findings show that #optimism is a key determining factor in how well you #age. I certainly know the difference when it is absent in our residents. Writing exercises and #therapy were found to be great ways of increasing it. nia.nih.gov/news/optimism-…

Wondered why there are drastic health differences in same-age adults. #stress could well be one of the reasons. Researchers found stress in its many forms accelerates immune system #aging. That's why I feel #mindfulness is so crucial a practice nowadays! businessinsider.in/science/health…

An insightful read on what to expect in #eldercare in 2023. #activeadult communities are to prove increasingly popular. I especially like the idea of partnering such communities with #preventivecare from primary health partners. More here. seniorhousingnews.com/2023/01/02/top…

A must-read for all #agedcare operators. In my experience, prospective residents truly are demanding more regarding the #programs and facilities to maintain or enhance their #wellness, so I think we'll continue to see more innovation in this space. seniorhousingnews.com/2023/01/02/top…
