Freedom Home Care’s Year in Review 2019

Another year has come and gone. The year 2019 was a great one for many, and we, at Freedom Home Care, have a lot to be thankful for. Because of this, we are going to take a look back at 2019 and talk about some of the great events we hosted last year.

Events Hosted by Freedom Home Care in 2019

There were a lot of great events that happened at Freedom Home Care in 2019. Check out some of our favorites below.

  • Nurses and Purses – In May, during Nurse Appreciation Week, Freedom Home Care had a Nurses and Purses event. This event was for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. This event gave out some delicious food and drinks, as well as some beautiful purses. Every nurse that showed up got a purse, and five lucky winners got a big purse from the raffle. It was a great way for us to appreciate all the great work that nurses do!
  • Food for Thought
  • Food for Thought – At the end of May, Greg Borzo gave us a presentation during one of our Lunch and Lecture events. This event happened at the Dickinson Hall Senior Center in Lake Forest, and it was fun and educational for all. Food for Thought occurs every month and is sponsord by Freedom Home Care. Check out the upcoming Food for Thought event for February 2020 here.
  • Backyard Bash – At the beginning of June, we had a backyard BBQ bash with delicious food and the musical stylings of LJ Slavin who is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist. Slavin is well-versed on the flute, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and so much more. It was a fun event for ears and taste buds! We host multiple Backyard Bashes over the Summer. Stay tuned on our Facebook page for upcoming Spring events and the next 2020 Backyard bashes!

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need? A pervading myth related to sleep claims that elderly adults need less sleep than the average adult. It’s not quite clear how this myth began. Perhaps because elderly adults tend to nap in the afternoons and sleep less during the night. Perhaps because the elderly tend to wake up earlier in the morning, it appears they do not need to sleep as much. Whatever the reason, it remains a myth. From the mid-’20s onward, do...

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...

On 30th September, 2019, Samvedna Senior Care Foundation hosted the 2nd film festival of generations in association with Heidelberg University, Germany. The film Sputnik Moment – 30 years and beyond was screened at our senior citizen centre in Gurgaon for our members and staff. The film highlighted how senior citizens in Germany and the US were taking up second careers to fill their time, engage meaningfully and also get support through additional income. Post the screening Dr. Martin Gieselmann, Executive Secretary, SAI, Heidelberg University and Dr. Constanze, Coordinator DAAD Project, Heidelberg University along with our team engaged with the audience in an interesting discussion on the Indian scenario. Members shared that in India it is not easy for senior citizens to pick up jobs after retirement, however it was interesting to see that many in the audience did have jobs post retirement. They also spoke about stereotypes and social attitudes towards ageing and shared their per...
