“Hillside Terrace is by far the best independent living, assisted living, and memory care in all of Washtenaw County. The staff is kind, building is spotless, and the leadership gets it. If you have not taken the time to research, visit, and talk with their team if your loved one is in need of a care, you are missing.”

Stay Active at Hillside Terrace Senior Living

“My mom lived here for 16 months with rapidly advancing dementia. I visited her nearly every day and had the opportunity to meet many staff and observe their interactions with my mom. Due to her disease she could become very difficult and the staff was always so kind and patient with her. She would light up when the aides and nurses came into the room! The Hillside motto of their family sharing life with your family is true. I was so grateful for the love and compassion showed to my mom, as well as to me and my family. I was confident that I could be away and know that mom was getting excellent care and attention. That was truly peace of mind for me after having cared for her myself for as long as I could. I am grateful to Hillside for keeping my mom as comfortable as possible at the end of her life. I highly recommend Hillside Terrace for assisted living and memory care.”

Keep Your Senior Loved One Safe Online

Is your loved one tech  savvy? 

Can they recognize a scam?

 

You probably already know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

 

Our elders are easy targets for scams because they are newer to technology and more likely to fall for common scams and security threats that you’re probably more well aware of. It’s important that you help your elder loved ones avoid becoming a victim by:

 

1.     Create strong passwords that will help prevent being hacked. 

2.     Protect your home network with a strong password.

3.     Use caution when it comes to links. 

4.     Navigate to secure websites that begin with HTTPS.

5.     Use precaution when it comes to social media!

Why is Wearing Sunscreen So Important as You Age?

You should be worrying about sunscreen protection all year long – not just during the summer months. While it’s important for everyone to wear sunscreen, it’s especially important for older adults. Aging skin is more fragile, and sensitivity to sunlight can be a side effect of some medications prescribed to seniors.

Learn more about why wearing sunscreen is so important as you age here.

Sunscreen is Not Just for Summer

According to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), “Less than half of older adults protect their skin from the sun when outside for an hour or more on a warm, sunny day.”

Protect your skin from sunlight with these tips:

 

1.     Use SPF 30 or higher every day 

2.     Reapply sunscreen frequently 

3.     Layer sunscreen generously all over your exposed skin 

4.     Protect against UVA & UVB rays 

5.     Try a different kind of sunscreen 

6.     Wear a wide-brimmed hat 

7.     Wear clothing to cover your ankles and long sleeves
