Aging comes with a lot of expected and unexpected changes. For many senior citizens, learning to deal with new physical limitations or medical conditions can be challenging. To deal with these changes, many older adults choose to retain their independence by living alone. This helps them maintain control over their lives and introduces a sense of achievement. However, living alone can also pose certain safety risks for senior citizens.

The COVID-19 outbreak has marked one of the most challenging times for many people across the world, especially those who suffer from dementia and Alzheimer's. Dementia is a medical condition characterized by a decline in cognitive function. Almost 10.5% of the U.S. population, aged 65 and older, have dementia and experience symptoms such as memory loss, impaired judgment, difficulty utilizing problem-solving skills, loss of motor function, confusion, and more. As a result, dementia patients often undergo personality changes and struggle to cope with the ever-changing world around them.

While many businesses across Philadelphia, and the surrounding communities, have been ordered to close down as the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to escalate across the country, one home health care agency is still dedicated to helping its clients maintain a safe and comfortable routine throughout these difficult times. As a state-designated essential business, CareGivers America is working diligently to provide its caregivers, nurses, therapists, and other staff with the necessary resources to attend to their patients without compromising anybody's health.

There is a caregiver crisis looming on the horizon. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring each day, there's barely enough help at home and in the home care industry to keep up with demand. Although seniors want to spend their golden years relaxing and surrounded by their family members, most adults have too many other life responsibilities to provide proper care for elderly relatives, prompting them to look at private caregivers in the greater Philadelphia area or, if they qualify, waiver programs like Pennsylvania's Community Health Choices Program, for help.
