It’s a core value that defines who we are. But independence isn’t just a historical milestone or a national concept-it’s a deeply personal one, especially for our seniors. For older adults, true independence means the freedom to stay right where they want to be: in the comfort, familiarity, and dignity of their own homes. Yet, as time goes on, maintaining that independence can feel like a puzzling challenge for both seniors and their worried families. That is where we come in. At **Health Force of Georgia**, we believe that needing a little help shouldn’t mean giving up your freedom. For over 40 years, we’ve been helping Atlanta-area families put the healthcare puzzle pieces together. We provide compassionate, licensed in-home care designed to help seniors remain safely independent in their own homes. Whether it’s just a few hours of help a week or more dedicated support, our carefully screened, bonded, and insured team is here for you with: ![????](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f539.svg) [**Companion Care**](https://healthforcega.com/companion-and-homemaker-care-for-seniors/) – For help around the house and meaningful connection. ![????](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f539.svg) [**Personal Care**](https://healthforcega.com/personal-care-assistance-for-seniors-elders-and-adults/) – Assistance with daily routines like bathing, dressing, and mobility. ![????](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f539.svg) **[Skilled Nursing](https://healthforcega.com/skilled-nursing-care/) & [Home Infusion Therapy](https://healthforcega.com/home-infusion-therapy-in-georgia/)** – Medical care delivered right to the living room by licensed RNs and CNAs. ![????](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f539.svg) [**Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care**](https://healthforcega.com/alzheimers-disease-and-dementia-memory-care-services-at-home/) – Specialized, gentle support for cognitive health.

Family members and home health care workers play a vital frontline role in keeping seniors safe, respected, and secure in their own homes.When families and caregivers work together and stay vigilant, we can dramatically reduce risks and ensure our loved ones are protected. How family members and home health care workers can help: - **Stay connected and observant** – Maintain regular, open conversations with seniors about their well-being, finances, and daily activities. Watch for warning signs such as sudden account changes, unusual withdrawals, confusion about transactions, new “friends,” or pressure to give money. - **Promote security habits** – Encourage and help set up strong protections like two-step verification, account alerts, and private social media settings. - **Coordinate care** – Family members should communicate regularly with home health care workers and share observations. Trusted caregivers often notice subtle changes first. - **Speak up immediately** – If something doesn’t feel right, report concerns promptly to Adult Protective Services, law enforcement, and financial institutions. ## How seniors can protect themselves: - **Review finances regularly** – Monitor accounts closely and consider adding a trusted family member or caregiver to help manage money when needed. - **Plan ahead** – Keep important documents organized and add a trusted contact to accounts for extra protection. - **Shield your information** – Never share passwords, account numbers, or verification codes with unexpected callers or messages. - **Avoid unsolicited access** – Don’t click unknown links or grant remote access to devices unless you initiated the contact. ![Stressed senior woman sitting at table with money and paperwork](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/worried-senior-woman-with-bills-and-calculator-elder-abuse.jpg) ## Our seniors deserve dignity, safety, and peace of mind. By combining family love with the dedicated support of home health care workers, we create stronger protection networks. Let’s commit to watching out for one another with compassion and vigilance.

This Easter, as we gather with family, reflect on renewal, and celebrate the hope of new beginnings, let’s remember what truly matters most: cherishing and caring for one another. Easter is deeply tied to family life as a time of gathering, renewal, and passing on values across generations. It strengthens bonds through shared rituals that blend faith, fun, and heritage: - **Religious focus**: Many families attend church together, read the resurrection story, or discuss themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, and hope. - **Traditions that build connection**: Egg dyeing, hunts, special meals, and handing down recipes or stories from grandparents help link past and future generations. - **Creating memories**: Backyard hunts, new outfits, or simple kitchen “sunrise services” foster joy and teamwork. - **Broader meaning**: Beyond religion, Easter reminds us that family is a source of love and support-much like the big spiritual family we’re all part of. Play Video In Georgia, many families face the added responsibility of caring for elderly parents, disabled loved ones, or medically fragile relatives. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone. [**Georgia’s Medicaid Waiver Programs**](https://healthforcega.com/georgia-waiver-programs/), including the [**Community Care Services Program (CCSP)**](https://healthforcega.com/georgia-waiver-programs/community-care-services-program-waiver-ccsp/) and [**SOURCE**](https://healthforcega.com/georgia-waiver-programs/service-options-using-resources-in-a-community-environment-waiver-source/), offer home- and community-based services that help keep loved ones at home rather than in nursing facilities. One especially meaningful option is [**Structured Family Caregiving (SFC)** ](https://healthforcega.com/georgia-waiver-programs/structured-family-caregiving-from-health-force-of-georgia/)through Health Force of Georgia. This program allows eligible family members (such as adult children or in-laws) to be paid a weekly stipend to provide care for their loved one at home, while receiving professional training, health coaching, a personalized care plan, and ongoing support-at little or no cost to the family. This Easter, while we celebrate resurrection and renewal, we can also embrace practical hope for families who give so much every day. Caring for each other isn’t just a holiday tradition-it’s a year-round calling, and there is real support available right here in Georgia. If you or someone you know is caring for a family member and could benefit from these programs, reach out to Health Force of Georgia at [**(770) 458-8500**](tel:17704588500) to learn more about eligibility.

What is Structured Family Caregiving? Structured Family Care is a program that is funded by GA Medicaid through the Elderly and Disabled Waiver. With this program a Caregiver related by blood or marriage (**_spouses and legal guardians do not qualify_**) can get paid a weekly stipend to care for a loved one.   The purpose of this program is to pay family members to care for loved ones with a long-term chronic physical diagnosis instead of receiving care from someone outside the home. This will work to help keep these loved ones out of nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, and assure they will get the best and most loving care possible. Examples of daily tasks for taking care of a family member include: - Meal prep - Feeding - Bathing - Dressing - Getting in and out of bed - Transportation to medical appointments - Moving around the house ### Q. What is the Approval Process to Get Into the SFC Program? **Step 1 – Telephone Call with our Structured Family Caregiving Advisor** The first step in the SFC approval process is to make sure the client (your loved one needing care) and the caregiver meet state of Georgia qualifications. A telephone call with our director of Structured Family Caregiving will help determine qualification status. You can call us right now at (770) 458-8500 extension 709. **Basic Qualifications of Client (Loved One)** - Must have GA Medicaid or be eligible. - Must have a long term physical diagnosis - Must live in same household as caregiver. - Must be 21 years of age or older. **Basic Qualifications of Structured Family Caregiver** - Must live in same household as loved one. - Must be 18 years of age or older. - Must be able to pass a criminal background check. - Cannot be employed once enrolled in the program. **Health Force of Georgia will need the following information for your loved one to place the referral:** - Name - DOB - Marital status - Address - Income amount and source (EX: $1000 from Social Security) - Main person of Contact, relationship to loved one, and phone number - Primary Physician and location of practice - Medical Diagnosis of Loved one - Obtain Medical Records (History and Physical) - Social Security Number - Medicaid ID number if actively enrolled in GA Medicaid **Step 2 – Referral to Your Area Agency on Aging** Once state of Georgia SFC qualifications in step 1 have been confirmed by your Health Force of Georgia specialist, we’ll put in a referral on your behalf to the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) office. The AAA administers screening and is responsible for ensuring the client is eligible for the next step in the SFC approval process. Each AAA location handles a geographic area of the state based on the county the client resides in. **Step 3 – Selection of the Case Management Company & RN Assessment** With a successful screening by the AAA, the next step in the SFC approval process is selection of the case management company by the client. The case management company works with the client to schedule an RN assessment and receives results of the assessment. **Step 4 – Application Sent to Alliant Health Solutions (AHS – GA Medicaid)** The case management company reviews the RN assessment and sends it to AHS for approval. **Step 5 – Paperwork Sent to DFCS (Georgia Division of Family and Children Services State Office)** Once approved by AHS, the case management company submits paperwork to DFCS to obtain the EDWP Medicaid Waiver (Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program). The EDWP Medicaid Waiver is necessary because it allows clients to receive services at home under the SFC program. **Step 6 – Client Becomes Active in EDWP Medicaid Waiver Services** Congratulations, you’ve made it! The case management company informs the client they are approved into the SFC program. The last step is to select a health coach company. **Step 7 – Selection of Health Force of Georgia as the Health Coach Company** The last step is to select Health Force of Georgia as the clients’ health coach company. The caregiver becomes a contractor of Health Force of Georgia making them eligible to receive: - Tax-free, financial stipend paid weekly and direct deposited for your caregiving support - Coaching and guidance from our professional health coach - Telephone and email access to directly connect you with your structured family care support team. - After hours/weekend access for emergency support ### Q. Will Social Security Pay You Directly to Take Care of a Family Member? No, unfortunately. Social Security is a federal program and does not pay a caregiver directly to take care of a family member. Only the Structured Family Caregiving Program under Georgia Medicaid pays the caregiver directly through an approved health coach company like Health Force of Georgia, an approved health coach company! ### Q. Why Do I Need Medical Records? - To validate your referral you will need to obtain medical records from their physician. - This physician will need to be the one who is most familiar with their care. In most cases, it is their primary care provider (PCP), but can also be a specialist (e.g. if the client is an Alzheimer’s patient, the physician that is most familiar with their case may be their neurologist). - Ask their physician to fax a recent H&P (this stands for History and Physical) to our **Fax at 770-458-9050 “Attention Intake”**, this information should include: - The patient’s diagnoses - Current Medications - A brief summary of their medical history **How recent to the records have to be?** Ideally within the past six months, but just ask them to send the most current H&P they have. Remember, this is just a starting point for case management. They can follow up with the doctors if they need additional information. **Can I just send them to you directly if I already have these documents on hand?** Yes, as long as all the elements from the list above are present. They can fax them like above, or they can also scan and email the documents to [Intake@HealthForceGA.com](mailto:Intake@HealthForceGA.com) **Can’t you just call the doctor’s office for me and do it?** Generally, no. This is because we would need a signed Release of Information from the patient for the doctor’s office to be able to release those records to us. --- --- title: "Optin" url: "https://healthforcega.com/optin/" lang: "en-US" type: "page" description: "Thank you for your interest in the Georgia Structured Family Care (SFC) program.

Family and friends might be able to help if your needs are short-term, but if they are long-term needs, who can help? There are three major options when you or your loved one needs assistance. Let’s look at the options and discuss the pros and cons of each one to help you make the best decision. The first option is to receive care in your own home from a professional home care provider. Some home care providers only assist with daily living activities such as meal preparation, bathing, housekeeping, or laundry. Others, like Health Force of Georgia, offer a full range of home care services from personal and companion care all the way to skilled nursing care and infusion therapy. You may have a caregiver come to the home for several hours each day, several times each week or even daily. As the senior’s need for care increases, services from the provider may change to meet those needs. A full-time live-in caregiver is another option that some families choose. Home care service providers offer a consistent relationship with the senior, unlike an assistant living facility who may have a greater turnover of staff. An [Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper investigation of Georgia’s senior care industry published in 2019](https://www.ajc.com/senior-care-quality-report/) found that assisted living and nursing homes are often understaffed and workers routinely lack training. While the state passed a new slate of laws in response to the series, advocates say more needs to be done. If you are like most seniors, you love your home and are comfortable in it. You do not want to leave it. Home health care makes this possible. Studies show that in-home dementia and Alzheimer’s patients take nearly 50% less trips to the doctor. Stress and anxieties are eased by remaining in a familiar environment. Assisted living facilities offer a group residence and help with the day-to-day activities of living. They are not nursing homes. They may provide meals and housekeeping services, but they do not offer full-time, long-term care. Assisted living homes are best for individuals who require little care on a daily basis. Adjusting to community life in an assisted living home can cause stress and anxiety. Routines are disrupted and visits from family and friends may not be convenient or as often.   Nursing homes are another option for those needing more than basic care that can be handled in traditional home settings. They are designed to provide around-the-clock medical care and assistance. In addition, to help with day-to-day activities of daily living, nursing homes provide skilled medical care and/or therapy whenever it is needed. For someone with chronic health problems, severe mobility issues, or those who suffer from serious injuries, finding a nursing home is the best option. --- ## You Could Get Paid for Taking Care of a Family Member Doing These Daily Tasks ### Call (770) 458-8500 for more information: **   Caregivers may qualify by providing daily tasks.

Privacy is limited. Fellow residents may not be compatible. ### [ Nursing Home Pros ](https://healthforcega.com/home-health-care-services/) - Nursing home care can be the best option for those needing extreme care. - Nursing homes are designed to provide around-the-clock medical care and assistance for patients. - Families who feel that full-time care is needed opt for nursing homes because they offer full service to residents and alleviate caregiver stress. - Amenities in nursing homes include regular in-house activities such as crafts, games, and fitness in addition to outings for shopping and entertainment with transportation provided. - Nursing homes can offer advanced memory care services for the late stages of conditions, such as Huntington’s Disease and Alzheimer’s. ### [ Nursing Home Cons ](https://healthforcega.com/home-health-care-services/) - May be much more expensive than in-home care provided by a home health care service. - The level of one-on-one care can vary from day-to-day due to employee schedules. Frequent changes to the staff are common making care not as consistent. - The quality of care can differ depending on staff members. - The rules of the nursing home may conflict with the will of the residents.

Health Force of Georgia will continue providing services to clients on their normal schedules implementing additional precautionary measures to provide the safest environment for all. We provide caregivers with appropriate personal protective equipment such as masks, face shields, gloves, and gowns to keep both our clients and themselves safe. Caregivers check their temperature every day. If they have a temperature or other symptoms such as a cough, difficulty breathing, or think they might be sick in any way, they stay at home and do not report to work. We are asking them to notify their physician for diagnosis and treatment, and getting medical clearance before returning to work. Replacement caregivers will be offered to accommodate each patient’s needs and schedule if the regular caregiver is not available. As recommended by the CDC, we encourage caregivers and clients to do frequent hand washing and to use protective measures such as sneezing or coughing into a tissue or their elbow to prevent any possible transmission of the virus. Our goal is to keep everyone as safe as possible during this global pandemic. Please call [(770) 458-8500 ](tel:(770) 458-8500) if you have any questions on our protocols for managing COVID-19.

Structured Family Caregiving is a service option under Georgia’s Elderly and Disabled Waiver program. It is designed to support family caregivers who live with and provide daily care for a senior or a person with disabilities. By offering financial compensation and professional health coaching, the program helps caregivers focus on delivering personalized, loving care in the safety of their own home. The SFC Option is available through Georgia’s Community Care Services Program (CCSP) or Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) waivers, ensuring eligible Medicaid recipients can remain in their communities with the support of those who know them best. The SFC Option is ideal for families who want to avoid institutional care while ensuring their loved one receives high-quality, compassionate support. Caregivers receive a tax-free weekly stipend, ongoing training, and access to a dedicated health coach to guide them through their caregiving journey. ![youtube-video-thumbnail](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PZCizfW69LI/maxresdefault.jpg) ### How much money can I make per week with Structured Family Caregiving (SFC)? Your tax-exempt stipend is **$463.61** per week for each family member you care for or **$926.32** for two paid via direct deposit. The approval process takes 3 to 5 months due to multiple steps, but a Health Force of Georgia SFC specialist will guide you through it. Call us at **770-458-8500** ext 812. ### Who is Qualified to Get Paid? You may be qualified if you’re a biological family member or related by marriage. You live with the person as their primary caregiver. Your loved one is eligible for Georgia Medicaid and is enrolled in the CCSP or source waiver program, and you must be unemployed. ### Why Can’t a Spouse or Legal Guardian Get Paid to Be a Caregiver? Medicaid rules prohibit spouses or legal guardians from receiving payment for caregiving. ### Does the Loved One Need to be on Georgia Medicaid? Yes. Your loved one needs to be on Georgia Medicaid. ### How Long Does It Take to Get Approved? The approval process typically takes three to five months due to its multiple steps; however, a Health Force of Georgia SFC specialist will guide you through it. Call us at **770-458-8500** ext. 812. ### Why Does It Take So Long to Get Approved? The SFC approval process takes time because it requires assessments and approval by separate agencies. Coordinating schedules to conduct these assessments with multiple agencies can lead to delays. If you have questions at any step in the approval process, reach out to Health Force of Georgia, and we will guide you. ### Can You Care for More Than One Person? Yes, a caregiver may provide care for up to two people in the same household. ### What type of physical condition must they have? Eligibility depends on specific medical conditions which vary by case. For details on whether your loved one qualifies, contact Health Force of Georgia at **770-458-8500** ext 812. ### Why Don’t Behavioral and Developmental Disabilities Qualify? Why don’t behavioral and developmental disabilities qualify? Per Medicaid rules, behavioral and developmental disabilities, if a primary diagnosis, are typically addressed through specialized programs, not SFC. For details on whether your loved one might qualify under SFC, contact Health Force of Georgia at 770-458-8500 extension 812. ### Is the Pay Back Dated? Pay is based on the start of care date given by Case Management. ### Does the Caregiver Get Raises? The stipend pay is based on Medicaid’s requirement. Raises occur when Medicaid comes together and determines based on their criteria a raise (for all caregivers) is necessary. ### Do We Offer Any Other Benefits for the Caregiver Such as Health Insurance?

If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.** - **Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.** - **Avoid close contact with people who are sick.** - **Stay home when you are sick.** - **Cough or sneeze into your elbow or use a tissue to cover it, then throw the tissue in the trash.** - **Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.** - **The best prevention against the flu is vaccination. Flu is still widespread and active in Georgia – it’s not too late to get a flu shot.** COVID-19 is rapidly evolving and guidance is subject to change. The preparations currently underway in Georgia are based on the best scientific information we have from the CDC. DPH will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation, and work with state partners and health care communities to incorporate the most up to date guidance in our planning and preparation efforts. ### Who can you call if you get sick and cannot be the caregiver?

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death. It’s currently flu and respiratory disease season and CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine, taking everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs, and taking flu antivirals if prescribed. The CDC is making bold statements about what we might expect if the coronavirus continues to spread around the world:   > **“Disruption to everyday life might be severe,” said Nancy Messonnier, director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.** **As outbreaks pop up in areas beyond China, the CDC says cases are likely to spread here, as well.** **“It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country anymore but a question of when this will happen,” Messonnier said.** **“We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad.”** ### Protection measures for everyone Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. The coronavirus infections spread through the air by coughing and sneezing, or by close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands, or touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands. ### Who will take care of mom or dad if you get sick?

They can be happy, or they can be stressful. Each year brings changes…the cycle of life. You may be welcoming a new family member, a baby or a spouse and at the same time, you may be mourning the loss of a loved one. There may also be family members who are getting older and need more care. Who will provide that care? Family gatherings give you the opportunity to talk with each other and see who needs help and who can give help. ## Families Are Wide Reaching In today’s world, the family can be scattered across the country. Brothers and sisters may be nearby or thousands of miles away. Who will care for parents when they can no longer do everything for themselves? Is it fair to ask the closest geographic family member to take on all the responsibilities? It seems this is often the case – but what happens when they do not have the time or resources to do it all alone? Family members far away care just as much but are not nearby to assist in getting the family member to doctors’ appointments, shopping or just helping with day-to-day personal needs. Is it fair to ask the relative or friend nearby to shoulder all the responsibility for your loved one? What else can you do? ![Families are important](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/senior-with-baby.jpg) ## A Solution That Allows Family Members to Stay in Their Homes When they can no longer live alone without assistance, there is a solution that does not necessitate moving your loved ones from their home to an assisted living facility or nursing home. It’s a solution that works for family members far away and for family members doing the caregiving. Health Force of Georgia offers many levels of home care services. ## Personal Care Health Force of Georgia has affordable, Georgia-licensed caregivers who come in to provide a full spectrum of home health care services depending on the level of care needed. If you cannot be there, our professional health care workers can. They can come in for a few hours to check on your loved one, do [personal care services](https://healthforcega.com/personal-care-assistance-for-seniors-elders-and-adults/) like laundry, meal preparation, bathing, dressing and medication. If your family member is confined to a bed, our Personal Support Program provides trach care, tube feeding, suctioning, diaper changes and repositioning through our professional Proxy Caregiving staff. ## Respite Care Being an adult child caring for a mother or father is difficult. Our [respite care](https://healthforcega.com/respite-care-services-bring-much-needed-relief-for-family/) relieves you of the pressure of providing care and allows you to take time off to rest and refresh knowing that your special person is very well taken care of. Health Force of Georgia offers flexible personal care services when you need them. Experienced caregivers are available as often as requested or your schedule requires.

Then get in touch with your doctor. ![Solving the Home Health Care Puzzle of Alzheimer](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/alzheimers-video-cover.jpg) ## Why Early Detection and Diagnosis is Important If you notice any of the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, schedule an appointment with your doctor. An early diagnosis offers the following benefits: - Determines if the symptoms are truly due to Alzheimer’s disease, or caused by some other condition that is treatable - Provides access to treatment options that may lessen symptoms such as memory loss or confusion - Allows the patient an opportunity to participate in clinical trials that may provide medical benefits - Provides families with more time to assemble a long-term health care plan to help lessen anxieties - Organizes legal documents to express wishes - Creates a support network to help in difficult times Each day brings new challenges as Alzheimer’s brings changing levels of ability and different patterns of behavior. As the disease gets worse, people living with Alzheimer’s disease often need more intensive care. Health Force of Georgia is here to help. We may be the answer to what you’ve been looking for.

That’s only 6 years away - There are 533,000 family members and friends serving as Alzheimer’s caregivers - They provide a total of 607 million hours of unpaid care valued at a cost of $7.6 billion - State of Georgia Medicaid costs for Alzheimer’s care totals $1.18 billion ## Why Georgia Exceeds the National Average Growth Rate for Alzheimer’s Deaths Increased age is the greatest known risk factor for the disease. And with increased population comes an increase in the number of seniors afflicted with it. To provide context on our population growth, from 2017 to 2018, metro Atlanta had the fourth-fastest population growth in the nation to 6 million people. ### > ![Solving the Home Health Care Puzzle - Health Force of Georgia](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/jigsaw-piece3.png) **“Unfortunately, the trajectory of the disease is faster than we can even get our hands around.”** – Linda Davidson, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Georgia Chapter ### ## Compassionate Alzheimer’s Care in the Home At Health Force of Georgia, we understand that your loved one should receive the best care possible.

While the Internet is great for finding potential caregivers and reading resumes, can you really trust they are telling the truth about themselves and their experience? We don’t. Trust but verify. ** **We verify that each and every caregiver is credentialed and background-checked before they knock on your door. All professional caregivers from Health Force of Georgia have gone through a rigorous face-to-face interview process in our Atlanta office headquarters before they became our employees. Let’s look at why we do this and the steps in our caregiver hiring process that’s based on 30+ years of experience.** ## Technology is Great, But You Still Need to Have Personal Relationships Because our business is providing home care services to people, we know that it’s a business based on personal relationships. The caregiver providing service to you must be professional, knowledgeable and reliable. And while candidates may look good online, the only way to get a true measure is to interview them in-person. At Health Force of Georgia, we use technology and online resources to find highly qualified candidates. Once we find a good candidate, they complete an in-depth, online application that covers everything from nursing credentials to work experience to criminal background checks. Once everything checks out in the application process, we ask the candidate to come in for a personal interview with the VP of Operations. --- ### **Health Force of Georgia Caregivers are Nurses** We hire only carefully screened nurses to be caregivers.

From the moment they walk through the front door for an interview, how a potential employee handles themselves says a lot. They don’t know us, and we don’t know them. This is exactly the same scenario playing out when placed in their initial assignment. If they do well making a first impression to us, they should do the same for you. What signals does Health Force of Georgia look for in an interview? - Are they on-time for the interview? - How do they introduce themselves? - How do they carry themselves? - Are they appropriately groomed and dressed? - Are they articulate? - How are they presenting themselves overall? - Do they seem sincerely interested in meeting us or are they having a conversation on their cell phone coming in? ![All potential employees are interviewed in person](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/health-force-of-ga-interviews-all-job-applicants.jpg) ## Did They Bring All Required Credentials & Documentation? When an applicant comes in for the interview, we ask them to bring all required credentials and documentation needed for a caregiver position such as a CPR card, negative TB test and State of Georgia nursing credentials. This shows us they can follow requests and directions. With all documentation on hand, we move to the written test. ## Professional Skills Written Test The professional skills written test is a very important component of our complete hiring process. The written test provides different scenarios taking care of patients in a home setting. The test gauges their ability to comprehend and follow instructions because they’ll be required to follow a comprehensive care plan created by our [Registered Nurse](https://healthforcega.com/about-health-force-of-georgia/caregivers-from-health-force-of-georgia/) from the initial home care assessment. The test also tells us that the caregiver and client will be able to communicate effectively in both directions. While other home care agencies have moved away from a written test, we put a lot of value in it. ## One-on-One Interview This is the time we review the administrative procedures of being an employee of Health Force of Georgia with information such as: - Explaining the payroll process - How to fill out a time sheet - How to get caregiver assignments in a client’s home Prospective employees can ask questions about the position they are applying for. We’re looking for engagement to see if they are asking questions pertinent to the information presented. Are they focused on the task at hand? Are they interested in learning more or do they ‘know it all’ already? --- ### **Health Force of Georgia Caregivers are Nurses** We hire only carefully screened nurses to be caregivers. Based on your needs, you can rest assured that the caregiver coming to your home is qualified to provide home health care with one of the following designations: - Registered Nurse (RN) - Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) - Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) - Personal Care Aid (PCA) --- ## Pitfalls of Hiring a Caregiver Directly When hiring a caregiver, such as someone from the church or online through an online service, you’re hiring them as an independent contractor. The disadvantage is that the independent contractor is just that – independent. They are not under the supervision of a registered nurse or medical personnel, so there’s no oversight or supervision on behalf of the patient or client whatsoever. Who do you call if there is a problem with an independent contractor? But more importantly, there’s the issue of liability. If that independent contractor gets hurt taking care of you or your loved one at home, then **you** could be held liable for their injury. This means you might have to pay all medical bills, rehabilitation costs plus lost wages due to time they were not able to work. The reality is that lawyers are lining up waiting to handle these types of cases. Is it worth the risk to you or your family? ## We Take Full Responsibility for Liability, Insurance, Bonding and Payroll Taxes All caregivers from Health Force of Georgia are employees of our company. Should one of them get hurt on the job at your home, **our** worker’s compensation insurance takes care of everything removing all burden from you. Our employees are bonded so if there’s suspicion of theft or anything like that, our insurance policy handles any potential claims. We collect and pay all state and federal payroll taxes removing you from cumbersome reporting and potential payroll tax liabilities. ## Extensive Criminal and Eldercare Abuse Background Checks Health Force of Georgia has extensive resources to perform criminal and eldercare abuse background checks for caregivers in the State of Georgia. We can also perform criminal background checks on new caregivers moving into our state. Why take the risk of hiring a potential criminal to come into your home? Put our wide-ranging resources and 30+ years’ experience in the home healthcare business to work for you finding the perfect match as we’ve done for thousands of Atlanta families. ## Health Force of Georgia Service Area Health Force of Georgia has been providing health care services in the Metro Atlanta area for over 45 years.

Is it typical memory loss or a symptom of Alzheimer’s? Keep a notebook and write down any symptoms that you see. Mark the date and time. This will help you and your doctor put together the pieces to see the full picture. Don’t rely on your own memory. One sign alone may not seem to be a big deal, but when you see multiple signs, it can lead to the correct diagnoses. ## Making a Correct Diagnosis ## ![Solving the Home Health Care Puzzle - Health Force of Georgia](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/puzzle-piece-hfga.png) A correct diagnosis will save time and money and allow your loved one to get the help he or she needs sooner. You may have written off an early warning sign as a typical age-related change, like misplacing keys or not being able to find the right word when speaking. But when you see all the pieces together, the picture becomes clearer. Knowing what you are dealing with allows for you to make plans for the future. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the more involved the patient can be in making legal, medical and financial decisions for later stages of the disease. 16.1 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.

You are not alone..." last_modified: "2019-04-18T19:23:59+00:00" categories: [Helpful Information] tags: [Alzheimer's Disease] --- # Tis the Season… Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Depression # Tis the Season… Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Depression Holidays are stressful enough and now add to that caring for an elderly parent or someone with dementia and you have a holiday recipe for depression. You want to enjoy the season, but you may be worried about an aging parent who is living alone or is no longer able to attend the traditional family gathering. Guilt creeps in and depression can be a result of the worry of caring for a senior parent who has dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. This is supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year” but it’s completely normal for you to feel sad, confused, worried or frustrated by the upcoming holiday gatherings. ### Holiday Family Gatherings – Reality Check It may be at one of this year’s family gatherings that you notice a family member is less comfortable socializing and withdraws from the fun of the holiday event. As Alzheimer’s progresses, a person can feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed by crowds. They often feel anxious or on edge because they’re confused about whom they’re with, what’s going on or where they are. Pay special attention to see if there are changes in personality. Can they follow a conversation or are there changes in personality or behavior or memory? They may ask, “What time of the year is it?” “Why does the house look different?” “Why is there so much activity?” “Who are all these people?” Or they may announce, “I just want to be alone.” ### Old Traditions May Be Replaced with New Traditions Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by dwelling on the past. Traditions may need to be altered to accommodate your needs and the needs of an aging parent. Past traditions and memories, like singing old holiday songs, watching classic Christmas movies, and looking though old family albums, may help a person with dementia to be a part of the season. New traditions can be started. Simple repetitive activities are safe and fun to do with a loved one with dementia. Don’t be afraid just because the loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Be yourself and draw the person into the conversation by discussing old memories. ### Caregivers Need to Be Noticed Too Is the family member who is the caregiver feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Take a moment to sit down with the caregiver and ask, “How are you doing” or “Tell me what you are feeling”.  Offer to give the caregiver a break. Depression is common during the holidays especially among older adults and caregivers. Sadness can be due to a sense of loss because of missing a loved one or because your loved one is not the same person as in previous holidays. Special traditions like decorating the tree or celebrating Hanukkah by lighting the menorah may not register with the parent or loved one with memory loss. ![Depression and loneliness during the holidays](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/holiday-loneliness.jpg) --- ## Stress, depression and the holidays:** Tips for coping from the Mayo Clinic   **Tips to prevent holiday stress and depression** When stress is at its peak, it’s hard to stop and regroup. Try to prevent stress and depression in the first place, especially if the holidays have taken an emotional toll on you in the past. Here are a few suggestions from the [Mayo Clinic.](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/stress/art-20047544) - **Acknowledge your feelings.** - **Reach out.** - **Be realistic.** - **Set aside differences.** - **Stick to a budget.** - **Plan ahead.** - **Learn to say no.** - **Don’t abandon healthy habits.** - **Take a breather.** - **Seek professional help if you need it.** --- [ Learn More About Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia Memory Care Services Delivered at Home from Health Force of Georgia ](https://healthforcega.com/alzheimers-disease-and-dementia-memory-care-services-at-home/) ![grandmother and daughter at christmas at home in the living room](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/loved-ones-with-dementia-1024x683.jpg) **“When someone you know and love is diagnosed with one of these diseases, the ‘new normal’ can be difficult to understand, accept and deal with, especially around the holidays,” says Rubinstein, author of _Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias: The Caregiver’s Complete Survival Guide_. “The key to best managing your holiday experience is to educate yourself as to what you should expect and to regulate your expectations accordingly.”** ### Family Communication is Important A holiday gathering where all the family is together might be a good time to discuss the options if you find that a family member is experiencing the early stages of Alzheimer’s or has dementia. You might want to exchange group emails before a gathering. If you are the person’s caregiver, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Let others know what you can do and what is beyond your abilities. Think things through and make decisions based on the reality of the new normal. ### Holiday Help Give yourself the gift of respite care. If friends or family ask how to help, or what you want for the holidays, suggest a gift certificate for respite care if they are unable to relieve you for a few hours. Maybe they could help with house cleaning or pay for a service that can provide companion care or respite care. Be sure to make time for yourself! You may be responsible for your loved one every day so it is important to manage your expectations realistically. You need to say healthy too! ## Backup Help is Available – You Are Not Alone Health Force of Georgia is here to help get you through the holidays and beyond. Our home health care services include Companion Care, Personal Care, Alzheimer’s and Memory Care, Respite Care, [Skilled Nursing](skilled-nursing-care/) and even Infusion Therapy.

Entrepreneur magazine reported that “The home health category has been consistently named as a top investment choice by Entrepreneur, Forbes and other publications, joining the ranks of preferred franchises along with McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Hyatt.” ### Franchise Owners May Lack Training and Experience Many of these health care franchises have been started as investments. They are owned and managed by investors and are not necessarily owned by experts in the industry. Franchisees receive basic training in the health care industry. ### Here are some actual quotes from different health care services franchise websites: “You, our franchisee, need no industry experience. All you need is a minimal start-up investment… A personalized start-up coach providing customized support for your individual franchise.” “Ongoing support are provided by your Business Coach, and Marketing and People teams to ensure you’re on the right track to promote new positions and reach and connect to applicants using up-to-date digital tools.” “Our Comprehensive training for our new franchisees includes a five-week curriculum and prior to opening, you will also spend time in an active (name removed) office observing operations.” “The above methods: Job Boards, Social Media, and Word of Mouth (WOM) will be introduced and covered in detail during Training Week with us as a new Franchise Partner.” “Additionally, you’ll gain access to our internal Hiring Playbook, and tips from other Franchise Partners across the business.” “A week-long training class at our global headquarters…” ### Do you really want to trust your loved one’s health care to a franchise? Wouldn’t you rather have a locally owned and operated business with decades of experience in the health care services industry providing the services your loved one needs? Health Force of Georgia was formed in 1986, in Atlanta, by owners Art and Elizabeth Bartlett. The became interested in home health care after becoming the primary caregivers for both parents in the later stages of their lives. Today, Art and Elizabeth have 45+ years’ senior executive health care experience that they apply to their business. The combined Health Force of Georgia top management team has over 100 years of combined health care experience. Our Director of Clinical Services is a Registered Nurse with 29 years’ experience in nursing and home health care management. The mission of Health Force of Georgia is to deliver comprehensive home health care services from basic services such as companion care all the way up to skilled nursing care and Alzheimer’s care. We want your loved ones to continue to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible. ### Franchises May Not Offer As Wide A Range of Services as Health Force of Georgia Many franchises are not able to offer such a wide range of services. This necessitates changing to a new provider as more skilled services are needed. With Health Force of Georgia providing the care, you will never have to find a new provider. Changing providers can be difficult for the family and upsetting to the loved one receiving care. All Health Force of Georgia employees are hired because caring for people is their passion. Employees undergo a stringent screening process and are: - Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) - Licensed & certified by the State of Georgia - Professional skills and character tested - Criminal background checked - Employment reference checked and verified - CPR & first-aid certified - Supervised 24-hours a day by a Registered Nurse - Bonded and insured - Payroll taxes paid by us - Workers compensation liabilities paid by us if caregiver is injured in your home - Available on an hourly, daily, weekly or live-in basis - Carefully selected for each family ### Full-time Clinical Staff Nurses Health Force of Georgia employs two full-time registered nurses (RNs) supervising all caregivers and making certain your family members’ health and daily living needs are met. Franchise providers contract out nurse supervision to the lowest bidder. What this means to you is that they are not set up to report the daily health status of your loved one and take action, which if left unchecked, can quickly lead to other medical problems. Our clinical RN staff has a vested interest to deliver the highest levels of caregiver supervision and quality home health care every single day. ### Make the Right Choice The choice is yours… a franchise run by investors or Health Force of Georgia – a locally owned and operated home health care service business with decades of experience and a professionally licensed staff.

Dementia is a brain condition that affects parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. - Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can seriously affect a person’s ability to carry out daily activities. - The risk of developing the disease increases with age, but the disease is not a normal part of aging. - Most people living with Alzheimer’s disease are older than 65 years. However, people younger than age 65 can develop the disease but it is not common. - Scientists do not know what causes Alzheimer’s disease. However, like other chronic conditions, it is probably a result of multiple factors. - Controlling high blood pressure, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. ### Health Force of Georgia Offers Support and Help for Family and Friends Currently, many people living with dementia are cared for at home by family members. Caregiving can have positive aspects for the caregiver as well as the person being cared for. It may bring personal fulfillment to the caregiver, such as satisfaction from helping a family member or friend, and lead to the development of new skills and improved family relationships. Although most people willingly provide care to their loved ones and friends, caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease at home can be a difficult task and might become overwhelming at times. Each day brings new challenges as the caregiver copes with changing levels of ability and new patterns of behavior. As the disease gets worse, people living with Alzheimer’s disease often need more intensive care. Health Force of Georgia is here to help.

This week is a time to remind caregivers of the risk of falls and other injuries in the home. One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. Over 300,000 older people are hospitalized for hip fractures with more than 95% of hip fractures caused by falling. Falling is also the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries. When a fall occurs in the home, your loved one can become afraid to be alone even if they were not injured in the fall. This fear might cause them to slow down daily activities, thus making them weaker. This could lead to being even more unstable and likely to fall. ### Caregivers from Health Force of Georgia Health Force of Georgia can help by providing caregivers to check in on your family member and get them up and moving. A home health care worker can help if there is an injury or just be there to check in and help out with day-to-day activities. Here are a few tips to help keep you or your loved ones safe at home: - Keep nightlights in bathrooms, bedrooms, and any other dark areas. - Make sure your home has lots of light by adding more or brighter light bulbs. - Get rid of things you could trip over. - Put railings on both sides of stairs. - Add grab bars inside and outside your tub or shower and next to the toilet. - Ensure that electrical cords are not exposed where they could be tripped over. - Eliminate small area rugs that could slip on a floor or use non-slip strips or floor mats. - Bring in the services of a physical or occupational therapist to gain strength and balance. - Secure loose towel racks, sink tops, and toilet seats. - Encourage the use of walkers or canes. - Improve balance and strength with regular exercises. - Clearly mark your street number on the mailbox, fence, gate, or wall so emergency personnel can find your home.

He is loved no less, but the Father’s Day gifts and plans may be different. No longer may Dad be able to go golfing or have the need to dress up with a new tie. So, what can you do to make this Father’s Day special for the man who made your life special? Being there one-on-one is the best thing. Being face-to-face and communicating with Dad will let him know that you love him and care about his wellbeing.  Maybe you can grill out together or sit and watch an old movie together. Focus on what Dad can still do and enjoy. The time spent with Dad is much more important than any material gift you could give. Reminisce about events and family times from the past. Recent memories are the first to go and you might ask Dad to tell you about an event or friends from many years ago. The most important thing you can do is make your Dad feel loved. As Dad ages and his needs change, you may find that you need additional assistance in caring for him. Keeping Dad at home where he is most comfortable might require someone that can visit more often than you can to help Dad to keep living independently. At first, you might just have someone take him grocery shopping or help with preparing meals. It might be that Dad needs help with personal care and getting dressed. Dad might have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and be progressively losing more mental capacity. This might mean that you need specially trained home health care workers to come in weekly or even daily because you do not have the training or time to do this yourself. Health Force of Georgia knows that not everyone needs the same level of care to remain at home to avoid moving to an assisted care living facility. We have trained professionals that can take care of many complex medical conditions and we have caregivers who can provide personalized home care services. Our caregivers are Georgia-licensed and fully screened before being allowed into your home including: complete background check, employment records verification, health records check and they are bonded and insured. Maybe this Father’s Day you can give Dad the gift of some help. Give us a call and tell us how we can help Dad to keep living in his home. Happy Father’s Day from Health Force of Georgia.

The flu has not yet peaked and the peak could be several weeks away. Dr. Anne Schuchat, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says, “We may be on track to break some recent records.” The flu is widespread in nearly 47 states including Georgia. _“The most frequently identified influenza virus subtype reported by public health laboratories was influenza A(H3N2) virus.” – CDC_ The H3N2 is the most dangerous of all the current flu strains. It represents the largest percent of all the samples – 74 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It is important to know what to do if you have the flu and have a plan to get help for yourself or loved ones. Health Force of Georgia has trained home healthcare professionals that will come to your home and help. **_“The most frequently identified influenza virus subtype reported by public health laboratories was influenza A(H3N2) virus.” _** ##### **– Centers for Disease Control (CDC)** ## Do You Have Symptoms of the Flu? Some signs you might have the flu include a fever of 100 degrees plus a cough or sore throat. [Flu symptoms](https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/adult-flu-symptoms) are usually more severe than cold symptoms and come on quickly. You might also have a headache, muscle aches and soreness. New technology by [Kinsa](https://www.enterprise.kinsahealth.com/?utm_campaign=Enterprise&utm_source=home) indicates that Georgia has one of the highest percentages of people now reporting fevers. The CDC estimates that normally the flu kills about 12,000 Americans. But, in a bad year, it kills up to 56,000 people with the majority being the elderly. Children under five or children with asthma and pregnant women are more at risk. Surprisingly, the baby boomers, between the ages of 50 to 64, are being hospitalized at unusually high rates – 63.1 per 100,000 persons. ## Why are the very young and the very old at more risk? Immune systems are the reason the young and very old are at more risk. Young children do not have an immune system that has been exposed to enough pathogens for their bodies to recognize the viruses. The elderly may have compromised immune systems that are unable to react to the viruses effectively. _**“The highest hospitalization rate is among people 65 years and older (263.6 per 100,000), followed by adults aged 50-64 years (63.1 per 100,000), and younger children aged 0-4 years (40.0 per 100,000). During most seasons, adults 65 years and older have the highest hospitalization rates, followed by children 0-4 years.”**_ — Centers For Disease Control (CDC) ![Underlying Medical Conditions can be life threatening with the flu](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/underlying-medical-conditions.gif) ## So why are people dying from the flu? The Centers for Disease Control states in this week’s (second week in February 2018) flu report: Among 1,955 hospitalized adults with information on underlying medical conditions, 1,325 (67.8%) had at least one reported underlying medical condition; the most commonly reported were cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorder, obesity, and chronic lung disease. ### Children Are At Risk Among 192 hospitalized children with information on underlying medical conditions, 97 (50.5%) had at least one underlying medical condition; the most commonly reported were asthma, neurologic disorder, and obesity. Among 151 hospitalized women of childbearing age (15-44 years) with information on pregnancy status, 36 (23.8%) were pregnant. Everyone is at risk but if you have an underlying condition, you should be more concerned. ![Health Force of Georgia Home Health Care Workers Visit Your Home When You Need Help](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/health-force-ga-health-care-worker-home-visit.jpg) ### Inflammation Inflammation is an immune reaction that can be the result of the white blood cells in your body as they attempt to kill off the flu virus. Swelling in the lungs can prevent your blood vessels from getting enough oxygen when the lung tissue is swollen with immune cells. This can result in respiratory failure because the lungs cannot get enough oxygen. This can happen quickly with the flu and death can happen quickly with little warning. ### Health Force of Georgia is Here to Help   [ Contact Us About Home Care Service ](https://healthforcega.com/contact-health-force-of-georgia/) ### Body-Wide Inflammation Besides the lungs, other organs can become inflamed as the immune system sends out the white blood cells to kill the flu virus. A body-wide inflammatory reaction can trigger sepsis and cause multiple organs to shut down resulting in a swift death. Organs that can be vulnerable to inflammation include your kidneys, heart and brain. If the brain becomes inflamed it can lead to death. Swelling in the heart can trigger other cardiac problems and the elderly are more likely to succumb to a heart attack within weeks of having had the flu. ### [![Health Force of Georgia Home Care Services Can Help When Flu Strikes](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/beige-home-care-services-puzzle-piece-300x300.png)](https://healthforcega.com/home-health-care-services/) ### Pneumonia When your body’s immune system is fighting the flu, other bacteria in your body can spread to the lungs and cause pneumonia. It is important to have a health professional assess you if you suddenly start feeling worse after you have had the flu and started to feel better. You could have pneumonia and left unchecked, the bacteria will spread rapidly, and it might be too late for antibiotics to work if you wait too long. Based on National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance data available on February 8, 2018, 10.1% of the deaths occurring during the week ending January 20, 2018 (week 3) were due to Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I). This percentage is above the epidemic threshold of 7.3% for week three. ## Temporary Help is Available When Sickness Strikes Sometimes you need temporary help when you have an elderly parent that is living alone or have a sick child, or if the main caregiver in the family has come down with the flu — or maybe the entire family is sick. The flu can spread rapidly through a family or school with little to no warning. You might suddenly need help with [day to day activities such as housework, meal preparation](https://healthforcega.com/personal-care-assistance-for-seniors-elders-and-adults/) or you might even need a [skilled nurse to assess your medical needs.](https://healthforcega.com/skilled-nursing-care/) Health Force of Georgia is here to help. ![Healthforce of Georgia serves Atlanta and surrounding 18 counties.](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/18-counties-served-by-healthforce-of-ga-300x278.png) --- #### Our [service area](https://healthforcega.com/about-health-force-of-georgia/service-area/) includes metro Atlanta, GA and 18 surrounding counties. ---   #### --- ## How Can a Caregiver from Health Force of Georgia Help with the Flu Epidemic?

People 65 years of age and older are at greater risk of serious complications from the flu compared with young, healthy adults. The human immune defenses become weaker with age and **those over 84 are at great risk of dying from complications from the flu**.  For the elderly getting the flu often leads to a hospital stay, and sometimes it can be fatal. Older adults account for more than half of hospitalizations due to influenza and over 80 percent of deaths associated with influenza according to William Schaffner, M.D. professor of Preventive Medicine and Infectious Disease at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. _**“Influenza and its complications disproportionately affect people who are 65 and older. They account for 80% of the deaths…” **_ ##### – Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. ## Post-Flu Risks are a Growing Concern for the Elderly Infectious disease experts are warning that flu can lead to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and disability in elderly patients for months after they have recovered from their illness. Watch out for severe symptoms such as confusion, difficulty breathing, or inability to keep hydrated. Anyone with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have the flu, and people with chronic heart disease may experience a worsening of this condition triggered by flu. The flu can worsen other chronic conditions including: - Emphysema - COPD - Diabetes **_“Chances of a heart attack are increased sixfold during the first seven days after a flu infection” _** — [New England Journal of Medicine](http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1702090)” ![Flu is more serious in seniors](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/doctor-flu.jpg) #### _While ill, seniors will need support from a caregiver. _ #### _Health Force of Georgia can help when you can’t be there to give the extra care needed._ ![Advice for Families and Caregivers of Seniors with the Flu](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/caring-for-elderly-flu.jpg) ## Advice for Families and Caregivers of Seniors with the Flu While ill, seniors will need support from a caregiver.

CDC recommends that antiviral drugs be used as early as possible to treat flu in people who are very sick with flu (for example, people who are in the hospital), and people who are sick with flu and have a greater chance of getting serious flu complications, like people 65 and older. The treatment should be started within the first 2 days of illness for best results. - **If You Are 65 or Older Get Pneumococcal Vaccines** – Pneumococcal vaccines help to protect against pneumococcal disease, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. Always talk with your doctor to find out which pneumococcal vaccines are recommended for you. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a serious flu-related complication that can cause death. People with chronic lung disease are at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia. ![](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/plugins/bb-plugin/img/pixel.png) Download a flyer from the Centers for Disease Control –[“Everyday Prevention Actions That Can Help Fight Germs, Like Flu”](https://healthforcega.com/pdf/everyday-preventive-actions-cdc-flu.pdf) ### Other Helpful Information #### [Caring for Elderly Before and After the Flu](https://healthforcega.com/caring-elderly-flu/) #### [What to do when your aging parents need help](https://healthforcega.com/what-to-do-when-your-aging-parents-need-help/) #### [A Christmas Carol Story](https://healthforcega.com/a-christmas-carol-story/) #### [Having ‘The Conversation’ with your Aging Parent Living Alone](https://healthforcega.com/having-the-conversation-with-your-aging-parent-living-alone/) #### [Receive IVIG Therapy At-Home to Strengthen a Weakened Immune System](https://healthforcega.com/ivig-therapy-at-home-health-force-of-georgia/) #### [AIDS Walk Atlanta & 5K Run – Sunday, October 22, 2017](https://healthforcega.com/aids-walk-atlanta-5k-run-sunday-october-22-2017/) ![Health Force of Georgia brings together the pieces of the health care puzzle.](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/puzzle-piece.png) # Solving the Home Health Care Puzzle! --- --- title: "What to do when your aging parents need help" url: "https://healthforcega.com/what-to-do-when-your-aging-parents-need-help/" lang: "en-US" type: "post" description: "There comes a time in your life when you need to reverse roles with your parents and you become the caregiver.

They cannot make Christmas as it was when you were a child. They may not even remember the family traditions that make traveling home so important to you. While, they still love you and enjoy your visit, they may not be up to the task of delivering the Christmas Past of your memory. ### Christmas Present When you get home for the holidays, be sure to take note of Christmas Present. Is the house in order to receive guests? Is there nutritious food in the refrigerator? Are you finding objects in odd places? These all could be signs that your parent(s) are not physically or mentally able to prepare for your visit or to take care of themselves. Some of the warning signs to look for: the house needs cleaning, scrapes or bruises that can’t be explained, the refrigerator is empty or contains junk food, disheveled personal appearance, seemingly withdrawn from family and friends, plus more. We all would like to live in Christmas Past and think that our parents will always be the parents of our youth… but sometimes it is not to be. Sometimes as our parents age, they need extra assistance and care but not enough to move them from the home you grew up in. Sometimes, their needs can be met with the help of a home healthcare provider like Health Force of Georgia. Your family member may even be in the beginning stages of [Alzheimer’s Disease.](https://healthforcega.com/alzheimers-disease-and-dementia-memory-care-services-at-home/) You need to be watchful, so you can help. You should not ignore the symptoms. Don’t worry they will have to be moved to an assisted living facility. They can still be cared for at home affordably with specially-trained memory caregivers who deliver dignified care in the reassuring surroundings of home on an hourly, daily or 24/7 live-in basis.  [ Contact Us About Alzheimer’s and Dementia Memory Care ](https://healthforcega.com/alzheimers-disease-and-dementia-memory-care-services-at-home/) ![Christmas Past](https://healthforcega.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/christmas-past.jpg) ## How Can Health Force of Georgia Help?
