Benefits of Grandparent – Grandkid Bonding

Do you have grandchildren? Don’t they make your heart just melt?

A study conducted by the Women’s Health Aging Project in Australia “found that post-menopausal women who spend time taking care of grandkids lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders.” There’s no doubt that children help keep our minds sharp, this study proves it!

Alzheimer’s can be a tough disease to fight, but with the right treatment and surroundings, it can make things a little bit easier. At Hillside Terrace, we’re confident in our ability to provide the best quality of care, the security, and the family atmosphere that you’re seeking!

According to Gerber Life, grandchildren can help their grandparents in a number of other remarkable ways, including:

1.    Sharing passions
2.    Nurturing sense of purpose
3.    Creating generational continuity and identity
4.    Enjoying a new vantage point

Do you agree? If you have grandchildren, we’d love to hear about how they make your retirement more enjoyable. Please join the conversation in the comment section below! What kinds of things do you enjoy doing together? What makes time with your grandchild the most special?

What is Arthritis?

By definition arthritis is painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints that can worsen over time.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, “more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis.” That’s a scary thought!

It’s a reality some of us aren’t comfortable facing, but everyone is at risk for suffering some type of arthritis no matter what their age. Some symptoms that you should be aware of include:

•    Swelling
•    Pain
•    Stiffness
•    Decreased range of motion
•    Inability to do daily activities
•    Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
