Why Elly Kleinman Believes in High Performance

Aging is a complex physiological process that we cannot avoid. Regardless of the genetic predisposition, the general condition of the organism and life habits, the third age brings about changes on the physical and mental level.

Every 4th person older than 65 years suffers from some cardiovascular disease, and every 5th have malignancies.

Osteoporosis in older people is inevitable. The statistics are truly devastating when it comes to this disease – 39 percent of those under 70, and as many as 70 percent over the age of 80 have osteoporosis. Also, dementia and Alzheimer’s are on the rise, while Parkinson’s disease is the most common neurological disorder in the elderly population.

Almost half of our country’s adult population is “juggling” with daily responsibilities between work, home, children and parents. Because our loved ones took care of us when we were little, educated us and created the conditions for us to live independently, now is the time to help them.

This kind of traditional thinking shows a genuine love for parents. However, the mistake many of us make is that we do not accept professional help. Caring for the elderly requires constant activity. Especially if one parent is suffering from some chronic illness or some degree of disability that age has brought.

Let’s be realistic, balancing in all the private and business fields in modern society is impossible to do over a long period of time. Lack of time and stress have a negative impact not only on our health but also our family relationships. Often this kind of life questions career, finances and even marriage. At the same time, parents, not wanting to be our burden, neglect their needs.

Home Care and Senior Independence

No category, , ,

It’s no secret that most older Americans want to stay at home. However, with age comes a variety of changes that can challenge a senior’s physical and physiological state, some making it increasingly difficult for seniors to properly care for themselves. Home care often provides seniors with the option to live where they choose. Not only does home care allow seniors to age where they want, but it does so while reducing the overall financial cost of health care. Home healthcare is a far more cost-effective option for long-term care than traditional methods. In this article, Elly Kleinman Americare Companies President would like to take a moment to recognize not only the importance of senior independence but also how home health caregivers can help seniors maintain their independence for as long as possible.

Geriatric Rehabilitation and Aging

Elly Kleinmans best, , ,

The study of physical and psychological changes which are incident to old age is called gerontology. Geriatrics is the branch of internal medicine that focuses on health care of the elderly. It aims mainly to promote health and to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases and disabilities in older adults. Geriatric physical therapy is an area of specialization that requires a specific set of advanced skills and knowledge that addresses the aging process. The primary goal of geriatric physical therapy is to prevent, maintain or rehabilitate an impairment or functional limitation, which is accomplished with the application of evidence-based scientific principles.

Caring for older patients takes time. The presence of concurrent chronic conditions, the use of multiple medications and atypical presentations of illness in this population make clinical decision­ making more complex and time-consuming. Physical therapy can restore or increase strength, range of motion, flexibility, coordination, and endurance, as well as reduce pain. Another important role is to retrain the patient to do everyday tasks. Geriatric physical therapy enables older adults to enjoy a longer life by living it more independently and with less pain.

Elly Kleinman: The Last Generation of the Holocaust Survivors

It is a fact that the last generation of Holocaust survivors are now in their 1980’s or 1990’s, and in a very few years, the last living survivors will be gone. The evil Holocaust deniers may as well be waiting for the moment when the last living witness is gone, which means there is no time to lose, and the truth about what their eyes have seen when they were young needs to be revealed as soon as possible. As a child of two Holocaust survivals, Elly Kleinman finds it extremely important to collect and pass these stories to the next generation. Determined to carry out this story, Kleinman founded the project named The Amud Aish Memorial Museum, which is first of its kind. This New York businessman has invested a lot of funds, and has spent many years working on this project, collecting documents, photographs, and artifacts, which will all be displayed at the Amud Aish museum, located in Borough Park, Brooklyn. The center is scheduled to open between late 2016 and early 2017. Continue reading The Last Generation of the Holocaust Survivors →
