How we handle stress can have a direct affect on our health and wellbeing. In this article the author provides a rich summary of strategies for handling stress. This line out of the article says it all, "With these tools and opportunities in hand, older adults can feel empowered to live life the way they want to without unnecessary distress." What better reason to establish best practices? Our Rochester / Finger Lakes Chapter of NAIPC is happy to assist in making these strategies a reality.

Finding effective stress management strategies can be critical to helping seniors stay healthy and live their lives to the fullest.

Feeling independent, even when that means getting assistance so that you can stay at home, has a positive impact on our lives. This key message from the following article, "Allowing people to maintain sense of control over the years could be a major ingredient to the fountain-of-youth cocktail that’ll have them feeling like they’re 50 at age 100. ", reinforces the importance of allowing aging adults to participate in their choices. Rochester / Finger Lakes Chapter of NAIPC is here to discover what is possible, allowing you or a loved one to gracefully age in place.

There's a life-lengthening reason why you shouldn't talk to your parents like they're children: it takes away their sense of control.

Family caregiving can be stressful. Rather than putting off stress relief to "sometime in the future", practice these "in the moment" tips for boosts of energy as needed throughout the day. This way our energy is not completely depleted and we are more apt to feel capable and be objective about the situation. Caregiving assistance might be an appropriate choice to consider. Rochester / Finger Lakes Chapter of NAIPC is here to help navigate the challenges of aging in place.

If daily life feels overwhelming, try these relaxation tips for a mini mood boost.

For those of us that want to age in place, a line out of this article says it all, "Change is necessary and rather than it being forced on you, think of taking the lead." Frankly, we don't always make the best decisions after something serious happens when we are reacting out of fear or worry. Be proactive and contact the network at Rochester / Finger Lakes Chapter of NAIPC so we can help you accomplish your goals of remaining independent as you age.

Take these steps to stay in your home or community as long as possible
