Medical News & Info The Trust Older Patients Place in Doctors Can Compromise Their Medical Care Placing trust in doctors to advocate for their health needs, older adults rarely ask for referrals to specialists, specific prescriptions, express concerns or follow-up after medical visits, according to a new study from Case Western Reserve University and published in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging. The findings highlight a disconnect between the expectations of older adults and the realities of a changing health-care system, where doctors have less time to spend with patients. The study shows that older adults (defined as 65 and older) are less likely to advocate for their own health concerns the more they trust the role is being taken on by their doctors. The findings strongly suggest that families of older patients should be ready to step in as advocates for their older relatives.

  • France Awards Shreveport Veteran the Don’T Want to Be a Burden to Your Family? Then Don’T Stay at Home Alone
    January 2017 “Celebrating Age and Maturity” France Awards Shreveport Veteran the Don’t want to be a burden to your family? Then don’t stay at home alone. If you prefer to stay at home, consider how expensive it is when you need help. A Genworth study for Louisiana showed the cost of homemaker services in the state averages $32,032, and if you need a home health aide, it rises to more than $34,000 a year. This alarming total is just for someone to be with you for about 40 hours a week. It doesn’t include the cost of maintaining your home and lawn. It doesn’t include your entertainment and meals, and meals for your worker. And of course there’s the worry factor for your family when you live alone. They want to be sure you are safe and someone is around if you ever need help, especially if they don’t live nearby. Doesn’t it make sense to put those dollars into a lifestyle that’s good for you and your family? When you move to The Oaks of Louisiana as an active, independent adult, you’ll enjoy a safe, secure campus, beautiful facilities, lots of things to do, friends to share your life with and a worry-free lifestyle.
