Thinking About Senior Living Options? Find the Right Home!
Where do you picture Mom – or yourself – blowing out 75 candles on a birthday cake?
Some older adults plan to age in place. Some hope to put home ownership behind them. Others need more help than they’d planned.
If you decide on a move, do you know your senior living options?
Here's a quick overview of your options, what they cost and how to pay for them. You’ll also get an idea of when it’s time to move to another setting.
We cover the continuum of care:
• Independent Living: “Carefree" life in the company of older adults
• Assisted Living: Privacy and independence with a little help
• Skilled Nursing: Complex medical care and extra physical assistance, 24/7
• Continuing Care Retirement Communities: Attempting to provide for all long-term needs
• Memory Care: When dementia's physical, psychological, emotional and behavioral challenges need special attention
• Residential Care Homes: Professional memory care in the warmth of a home

The Care Quality Commission conducted a review of end of life care in England to examine inequalities. They found that while the quality of end of life care varies, some groups experience worse care coordination and have their needs overlooked. Specifically, people with conditions besides cancer, older adults, those with dementia or from minority groups may face barriers. The review highlighted examples of good local practices that promote personalized care and address inequalities. The CQC will use its findings to strengthen regulation and assessment of end of life care quality and encourage continued improvement in meeting individual needs.

Long terminsurance planningforyourfuture
Long-term care costs are skyrocketing as more baby boomers require care. The average cost of a one-year nursing home stay is $80,850 but can be as high as $100,000, and long-term care insurance can help cover these costs. Long-term care insurance pays for services like nursing homes, home health care, assisted living facilities, and adult day care. While premiums start at around $1,000 per year for ages 50-54, they rise with age and not all long-term costs are covered. Long-term care insurance may not be necessary for all, especially those with low savings who could qualify for Medicaid.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
