With holiday shopping—and shipping—comes the risk of package theft. Thieves — often called “Porch Pirates” — steal millions of packages from American doorsteps each year, totaling billions of dollars in merchandise. You can help protect your deliveries with a few simple steps.
Over 1.5 million Virginians currently serve as family caregivers, experiencing emotional stress, fatigue and financial strain as a result of their role. The recent Caregivers’ Re-Treat held in Haymarket provided some with an opportunity to step back from their caregiving duties and take a little time for themselves.
Having trouble starting a tough conversation about caregiving with your loved one?
Caregivers in Virginia have an abundance of resources available through the Virginia Navigator (https://virginianavigator.org/) family of websites. That was the primary message of a webinar conducted recently featuring Cindy Markham, a community outreach specialist for the Navigator sites.
The holiday season usually means fun with friends and family, goodwill and giving. Unfortunately, it's also a prime time for cybercriminals to perpetrate fraud. Here are some common holiday scams to look out for this holiday season:
If anyone needs care more than anyone else at times, it is the full-time caregivers themselves, those who care for many, most or all of the needs of a loved one. With that goal in mind, and within National Family Caregivers Month, AARP gave Roanoke-area caregivers a break that featured activities, information and support. How about chocolate tasting, aromatherapy and massages for starters?
Family caregivers, volunteers working with older adults and professionals in aging services gathered Nov. 22 for the 39th annual Northern Virginia Dementia Care Consortium Caregiver’s Conference, an annual event to help them connect with each other, learn new ways to engage with people with dementia and be better prepared to provide care and support.
The holiday deals are already rolling in, but not every offer you see online is the real deal.
Caregiving can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Planning is the most important aspect of caregiving that will assist caregivers as their loved ones’ age. If planned correctly, older adults will have much input in the decisions concerning them. At a recent AARP Virginia webinar, participants were reminded that it is a process, and having the right tools will make the process less complicated.
