Who needs a pacemaker? - If your loved one struggles with symptoms of a slow heart rate, such as light-headedness and fatigue, a pacemaker can help regulate their heartbeat, leading to better energy and overall quality of life. However, pacemakers are not appropriate in every situation.

If you were watching the news around lunchtime today, you probably saw a familiar face! Our owner, Jeanie Tauss, joined Tennessee Valley Living on WAFF 48 to talk all about conversation starters for seniors. 💙

Meaningful conversations can be such an important part of connecting with older adults, creating engagement, sparking memories, and simply letting someone know that their stories matter.

We’re so proud of Jeanie for sharing her knowledge and passion for serving seniors with the Tennessee Valley!

Thank you to Tennessee Valley Living on WAFF 48 for having her! We loved seeing Jeanie on the big screen!

Starting this week we’re excited to welcome UAH Nursing students to our team this semester as they start their clinic rotations and gain valuable, real-world experience by shadowing a Care Manager.

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to see firsthand how care management supports patients beyond the clinical setting!

We’re proud to play a small part in helping the next generation of healthcare professionals learn, grow, and gain a deeper understanding of the many roles that make a difference in patient care💙

Options for taking a break from caregiving - It's essential to take breaks from your duties as a family caregiver. You need to recharge your own batteries if you're going to manage for the long haul. Several options exist to ensure your loved one is well cared for, from adult day center programs to short-term stays at facilities.

Managing anger as a family caregiver - Taking care of an aging loved one can test your patience in ways you never expected. Feeling angry doesn't make you a bad caregiver—it makes you human. What matters is how you respond to the emotion.
